Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes
Chapter 494 - 490: I’d Rather Die Than Listen to You!
The reason why the right-hand rule is called a stupid method is mainly because it involves taking numerous unnecessary detours.
If luck is slightly worse, the right-hand rule can make someone circle the entire maze.
It is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, one thing is certain.
Relying on this right-hand rule, getting out of the maze is completely feasible.
Of course, if it’s a complex maze, it can still be somewhat troublesome.
All the way forward, Shen Han kept concentrating and probing.
Along the way, there were still many traps and mechanisms waiting for the four of them.
That is, while navigating the maze, they also had to deal with the invasion of hazards.
Shen Han walked in the front, and while moving forward, he also had to pay attention to the traps and hazards.
[Hidden Traps], [Hidden Mechanisms]...
Along the way, there were quite a few of these tricks.
Every time they encountered one, Shen Han would have the others stop.
He would go ahead and resolve these traps and mechanisms.
In this way, stop-and-go, almost a two-hour cycle was consumed, and finally, they exited this maze.
The four of them continued forward, having not gone far.
They had no time to celebrate.
Behind them, a high wall suddenly dropped down.
With a thud, it blocked their way back.
The next moment, a feeling of powerlessness surged up instantly.
Not just Shen Han, but the three of them felt it instantly as well.
Su Jinyu was the first to react: "Shen Han, this feeling seems somewhat similar to the Secret Realm of Little Pool Immortal...
I’ve already felt that my cultivation strength has completely disappeared..."
Having experienced it once before, Su Jinyu was not as flustered.
In comparison, Fu Tianqi was more alert.
And Yao Wanning, who walked at the back, still maintained her composure, seemingly unconcerned.
Moreover, seeing another maze ahead, she was already somewhat annoyed.
"You guys go ahead, find the most suitable path, then come back and inform me.
I don’t want to walk anymore; I’ll wait here for you."
Yao Wanning’s sudden words dumbfounded the other three.
Even Su Jinyu, who usually spoke gently, could not take it.
"Fairy Yao, after stepping in here, we’ve lost all our cultivation strength.
If we find the path and come back to get you, not only will it waste a lot of time, but it will also be very difficult to maintain our physical strength.
We don’t know what other challenges are ahead..."
Su Jinyu tried to persuade her calmly.
But her persuasion was of no use.
"Your lack of physical strength is your own issue; you should have anticipated these situations before coming here."
As she finished speaking, Fu Tianqi and Su Jinyu’s expressions sank.
Looking at her, they no longer showed the previous deference.
"What, do you Celestial Sword Sect disciples dare to bully me?
Believe it or not, I will have my great-grandfather immediately restrict your sect, and in the future, no Celestial Sword Sect disciple will be allowed to enter our Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land."
These words indeed intimidated Fu Tianqi and Su Jinyu.
They could fail this time, but affecting Celestial Sword Sect’s future gave them a sense of guilt.
"But..."
Su Jinyu wanted to say something else, but Shen Han stepped forward and blocked her.
"Fairy Su, there’s no need to talk to her anymore; she won’t listen to soft words.
If our strength and realm were intact, we could tolerate her willfulness.
But now, recklessly wasting physical strength could very likely endanger our lives.
So you have no choice but to move."
Shen Han rarely spoke to people like this, surprising even Su Jinyu next to him.
Yao Wanning’s expression also became slightly serious upon seeing this.
"What do you want to do...
If I tell my great-grandfather, he’ll put your sect on the prohibited list."
As she spoke, Yao Wanning’s breathing became slightly rapid.
"As a disciple of the Star Tower, I think my fellow disciples would never come to your Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land in a lifetime.
Being on the prohibited list, so what?
You can threaten them, but you can’t threaten me."
As the words fell, Shen Han borrowed Su Jinyu’s hair tie.
This tie was thin, long, and had tenacity.
Su Jinyu didn’t understand why Shen Han borrowed it, but she handed it over anyway.
Holding this tie, Shen Han walked step by step toward Yao Wanning.
"Fairy Wanning, are you sure you won’t move?"
Shen Han asked softly, without any hint of threat in his tone.
But the tie in his hand had some threatening implications. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
For the first time, Yao Wanning, born in Snow Mountain House, encountered someone who dared to speak to her this way.
Being unknown brought a slight fear.
Yet she still wasn’t ready to compromise.
"I’ve already said, I’ll wait here for you.
When you find the right direction, just tell me then.
If you want to force me, I just won’t go."
As soon as Yao Wanning finished speaking, Shen Han’s tie swung out.
Snap!
The tie hit Yao Wanning’s leg, making a loud sound.
It even had an echo.
Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi were both stunned.
Neither of them ever expected that Shen Han would actually dare to act against Yao Wanning...
Using this tie to whip, she probably wouldn’t get hurt.
But it was still hitting Yao Wanning!
Yao Wanning was completely dumbfounded by the hit.
Growing up, spoilt by elders, no one around her had ever spoken harsh words to her.
Let alone laid a hand on her...
It took Yao Wanning a while to come back to her senses.
A faint burning sensation also arose on her thigh.
After the cultivation strength was restricted, her defense also decreased significantly.
Ordinarily, being whipped like this would have no feeling at all.
But now, this pain was actually quite apparent.
But somehow, amidst the pain, there was a slight sensation of comfort...
Yao Wanning’s face unconsciously blushed.
Why does being hit feel like this...
"Fairy Wanning, are you still unwilling to move?"
Hearing Shen Han speak again, Yao Wanning’s blush deepened.
In her mind, there was even a slight expectation to be hit again...
After a moment, she pretended to be annoyed: "I refuse! If you have the guts, do it again..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Han whipped the tie again.
Snap, there was another sound.
As the sound spread, the pain even surged up instantly.
But after the pain, that sense of pleasure returned...
She still had to put on an act.
Yao Wanning covered her pained leg with one hand, while holding her Sound Transmission Jade with the other.
It seemed she wanted to complain to her elders.
"It’s useless; here even cultivation strength disappears, how can the Sound Transmission Jade work?"
Shen Han said calmly.
Yao Wanning didn’t believe it, and after trying several times, she realized Shen Han was right.
The arrogance she had earlier seemed to soften a lot.
"Will you move now?"
"No, I’d rather die than listen to you!"
Growing up in Snow Mountain House, used to being willful, Yao Wanning had never bowed down.
Facing Shen Han’s threat, even though she was afraid of pain, she still gritted her teeth and refused to go forward with them.
She wasn’t asking to be hit again...˙ϖ˙
