Chapter 1102: Chapter 614: Qin Family Elite Cavalry (Two-in-One)

"Qin Qingluo..."

The gray and black chains swayed, making a clinking sound. The surroundings were dim and dark, and in such an environment, Chen Yi’s vision seemed to have deteriorated.

He didn’t know how many days he had been thirsty.

Not a drop of water, not a grain of food, his whole body visibly caved inward, his hands were hoisted up by iron chains, drooping powerlessly, neither able to lift nor put down. Even the strongest martial artist couldn’t withstand such torment.

"Qin Qingluo..."

He hoarsely muttered this name. The short three words had lost any trace of emotion. Anger, disappointment, sadness were nowhere to be found, and he merely repeated it mechanically.

Then, the long-closed dungeon door suddenly opened. From here, it looked like a small windowpane, yet that little bit of light that leaked in still made him uncomfortably close his eyes.

Patter, patter.

A tall figure squeezed into the dungeon, walking in step by step.

"Oh, are you calling for me?"

Chen Yi weakly and reluctantly lifted his head. Under the faint light, her face was indistinct, blurred in the colors, and her towering shadow pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.

She placed the lamp on a table nearby,

"How does it feel to have your bones crushed and marrow sucked?"

Chen Yi didn’t respond, just shook his head. He tried to force a cold smile onto his face, "Not too bad."

This stubborn toughness at this critical moment didn’t make the female Prince lose her patience, and the long-standing hatred between them sparked no admiration. Perhaps once, the female Prince had appreciated talent, but with the passage of time, all had dissipated like smoke.

This feared hero of the court stretched lazily. In the cramped dungeon, her tall figure seemed to support the heavens and earth as she blandly stated, "Qin Yue is already dead."

Chen Yi’s pupils suddenly contracted, unable to catch his breath, as if he had swallowed needles, it was painfully excruciating.

Qin Qingluo, however, laughed—a strong laugh. Her stunning beauty under the heroic brows was terrifying. Just as Chen Yi was about to speak, she suddenly grabbed his neck with one hand, forcing the words back into his throat, 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"I lied to you."

Chen Yi was stunned, and in a moment of daze, this scene seemed strangely familiar. Then, the female Prince forcibly broke the shackles on his wrists and pressed him to the ground.

Tortured to such a degree, Chen Yi could only watch it all happen, struggling weakly a few times before being pinned to the ground by her.

Afterwards,

she sat over him.

"Giddy-up."

Chen Yi heard the sound of his bones cracking, and her cold laugh,

"Move, bitch."

In the fierce gusts, the light flickered once, and then again, with a clatter, the candle holder toppled, then flames suddenly flared up, inexplicably engulfing the entire wall and dungeon. The tongues of fire danced wildly and spread, turning this place into a scene resembling hell. Desperately, Chen Yi tried to push her away, to escape from here, but he couldn’t. She laughed maniacally, and even her towering body was swallowed by the fierce flames. Chen Yi’s eyes widened, and he too was engulfed by the fire.

The light danced on Chen Yi’s face. Chen Yi suddenly lunged forward as he opened his eyes, hearing the sound of someone falling backward.

Lin Wanxiao retreated two steps and fell sitting in the carriage. The lampstand was knocked over. Chen Yi came back to his senses, realizing he wasn’t yet at the Southern Border. Everything he had seen and heard just now was just a nightmare.

The young maiden painfully propped herself up, her face full of fear. Chen Yi glanced at her, then reached out to pick up the overturned lampstand,

"Why light a lamp in the carriage?"

Lin Wanxiao was stunned for a moment, then after a while, only silently climbed up,

"I didn’t light a lamp, I was holding a lamp from outside to check on you."

"No need to check," Chen Yi said, "I just fell asleep while resting."

Since having his meridians broken, only one-tenth of his martial arts remained, and various aches accompanied him. The flow of blood and qi crossing the fracture, the rheumatic pain like friction from newly forming bones, sudden internal pains... At such times, aside from matters between men and women, only sleep could mask such pain.

For many people, no matter how strong their will, they would fear they couldn’t withstand the torture and end their own lives. Chen Yi wasn’t made of iron, but fortunately, Zhou Yitang had severed two of the Three Corpses, which couldn’t directly alleviate the pain, but did reduce many desires.

Besides this, Chen Yi was also grateful to have Yin Weiyin accompanying him this time. Even though his Great Yin had many unlikable aspects, that matter always suited him particularly well, and thus, the journey was not too difficult.

Chen Yi exhaled, not overly lingering on the fear from the recent nightmare. The scenes in the dream were different, but the dialogue was similar. The various remaining differences and similarities suggested that this probably wasn’t a prophetic dream, but just a nightmare composed of mixed elements and emotions.

Moreover, although he had the Heavenly Vision, Chen Yi had never had a prophetic dream. He remembered only Yin Tingxue having such dreams, without knowing why.

"Stay put. I’m going out to get some air." After saying this, Chen Yi walked out of the carriage.

Lin Wanxiao was stunned again, but just stared blankly at Chen Yi as he lifted the curtain and walked out. After a long time, her brows and eyes drooped down.

He never really cared about her...

In the depths of the carriage, Yin Weiyin, sitting cross-legged, slightly opened a crack in his eyes and took everything in, a slight cold smile curving his lips.

Most times in this world, it’s women who understand women. Putting themselves in the other’s shoes, they can understand their thoughts. The young maiden kept insisting she didn’t care about Chen Yi, but her heart and mind were obvious. She mistakenly believed that as long as she saw Chen Yi, as long as she was forced to take that step, everything would be alright. Every time Yin Weiyin saw through this, he couldn’t help but sigh. This muddleheaded maiden kept denying with her mouth but placed all her hopes on Chen Yi.
