Chapter 229: The Concealed Room and Mutated Plum Blossom Tree

Chu Chu’s bright and moist red phoenix eyes gleamed as she ordered Wang Yan, “You’re right. Carry her. We’re leaving.”

Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid of Chuchu acting in anger. If Qin Hanyu were to arrive, she could not ensure that both of them would be safe. After all, the seemingly soft and gentle man was in fact more heartless and emotionless than anyone.

Wang Yan nimbly carried Qin Yi on her back and left with Chuchu.

Inside the discussion room, Chuchu quickly turned the tiger head on Lin Hai’s seat that opened a secret entrance. Chuchu walked down and when she saw that Wang Yan was not following, she berated, “What’re you doing? Why aren’t you keeping up?”

Wang Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hesitated. “My lady, this isn’t too good. Isn’t inside the…”

Upon recalling the thing inside, Wang Yan’s legs started trembling. She originally thought that Chuchu was punishing the girl lightly. Who would have expected that Chuchu would be so ferocious and actually thought of…

“What’s with all the nonsense? You’re not to question my decisions and just execute them. Otherwise, the next person to go in is you.” Chuchu’s face revealed an evil tendency, causing her to look slightly sinister.

Wang Yan trembled in fear and did not dare advise Chuchu any longer. She could only tremble and follow Chuchu from behind.

A long passageway appeared before her with candles on the sides. The entire secret passage was not dark and as they continued further in, screams could be heard, causing Wang Yan’s body to turn soft.

Very quickly, they appeared before thick metal railings that blocked their path.

Chuchu remained emotionless and opened the fence before them, then turned to the stunned Wang Yan. “Throw her in, quickly.”

Wang Yan did not dare hesitate and quickly threw Qin Yi inside. As a strength type ability user, this was effortless for Wang Yan, but her legs remained soft.

Chuchu quickly closed the fence.

Under the candlelight, Chuchu’s face was delicate and beautiful, but Wang Yan could not help but tremble when she looked at Chuchu.

Chuchu smiled, her red phoenix eyes revealed a tinge of craziness. She glanced at Wang Yan and spoke with joy. “Let’s go, Lin Hai is about to wake up. We need to hurry back.”

Wang Yan lowered her head and did not dare speak further as she followed behind Chuchu.

Inside the cage, Qin Yi was able to sense a burst of killing intent surging towards her. She dodged agilely to the side and avoided a fatal attack.

She opened her phoenix eyes that gleamed, without the slightest hint of dizziness. She looked at the gigantic monster before her and finally knew the secret hidden inside the stronghold.

It was clearly a mutated plum blossom tree with its large body, countless vines, and gaudy scarlet red flowers.

This concealed room was meant to trap the mutated plum blossom tree. The air reeked of a bloody stench that could nauseate people. Qin Yi noticed human corpses behind the plum blossom tree where the ground was blood red, completely made out of human blood.

Qin Yi frowned, she never thought that the stronghold would feed the mutated plum blossom tree with humans.

While with Chuchu, she caught the faint scent of blood on the red flower and sensed that the stronghold was not as simple as it looked, hiding a secret no outsiders knew. That was why she had intentionally aggravated Chuchu. It was all just for this.

She was able to sense that Lin Hai was closer and more intimate towards Chuchu. Aside from liking her, Qin Yi could tell that he trusted her and immediately knew that Chuchu was aware of something.

As expected, Chuchu had made a move.
