Chapter 296.4: I Just Wanted Some Fresh Air, Not to Escape
In what was seemingly just the very instant before the Earth Fire Devil Vine disappeared, a tall figure appeared very closely right after, in front of her eyes.
It was none other than the highly exquisite countenance of the extraordinarily good looking Lian Shi.
At all times on that face of his, it seemed like an almost imperceptible smile hung upon it, causing people to not feel his cold aloofness, but which also told people he was definitely not just any kind soul.
Lian Shi slowly walked in closer, and raised a hand lightly. Immediately, the stout and impenetrable metal barred door before him swung open. Qing Yu had been staring straight at him, but did not manage to see how he opened the door.
“Little one, you really have been misbehaving!”
Lian Shi’s footsteps would halt once every few steps, the expression on his face a little surprised as he stared at the absent ceiling overhead that had been wrecked wide open, the once dim prison now bright and clear, and he was a little discomfited by it.
He could not help but kept an eyebrow arched up as he looked at the nonchalant and indifferent young lady leaning back against the edge of the pool. He then asked with a smile. “This is done by your hand?”
Qing Yu nodded, an amiable smile on her face. “That’s right. I felt that it was too stuffy in here and wanted to let some air in to ventilate the place. The design of this place is really just too inhumane and insufferable, without even a single window. Are you trying to suffocate people to death in here?”
“That is the reason why you wrecked the place?” Lian Shi said with a soft laugh. “You, little one, are really very audacious. But, I think that your claim of wanting to ventilate the place is false and was instead seeking to escape isn’t it? !”
Qing Yu blinked her eyes, the look on her face highly innocent as she spread her palms out and said: “It is true that I would really like to escape away from here, but I have still not been able to decipher what these things on my ankles are yet, so I was just looking for something else to do out of sheer boredom.”
While she spoke, her voice even carried a hint of helplessness.
Seemingly feeling a little amused by the young lady’s frank and highly candid demeanor, the smile on Lian Shi’s face deepened further. “Good. Looks like you were listening to my words when I told you that those things on your feet are not mere toys and they must not be experimented with carelessly.”
“So, what are they really?”
Qing Yu lowered her eyes and peered into the bottom of the water. It was blurry and she could not see clearly. Her eyes narrowed and the expression on her face turned slightly wicked before she suddenly stretched her hand out to scoop up a handful of the water and unexpectedly threw it out towards the man who was just a few steps’ distance away from her.
“And just what is this here? I am immersed in it the entire time and if anything come to happen to me, wouldn’t all your carefully laid out plans come to naught?”
Lian Shi had not ever thought that she would suddenly do that and ended up having his clothes properly soaked by the water. A few drops of it were even dripping off the tip of his hair which made him look even more wretched.
But he was probably born as a person who would not show much emotion on their faces and even after being pranked on like that, he merely gave a faint smile and did not seem angry.
He then raised his eyes up to look at the young lady and said in a voice heavy with an underlying meaning: “The water in this pool is something really good. It is nothing but beneficial to you, and brings no adverse effects.”
