The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Not just the prisoners, even Wu Chaochang held the same doubt.

His gaze fixed at the man claiming to be Dowblis Snake, "If you’re really him, then how did you end up imprisoned here? The strongest cultivators in the White Moon Sect should only be at the Peak Golden Core Stage. How could someone like you stumble here?"

Dowblis Snake merely let out a cold sneer.

"Peak Golden Core?"

His sharp eyes settled upon Wu Chaochang as though he could see straight through him.

"Boy, it seems I overestimated you." He slowly shook his head. "But that’s only natural. You’re not even in the Foundation Building Realm. How could someone at your level possibly uncover the true secrets hidden within this sect?"

His disappointed tone made Wu Chaochang’s expression darken slightly, but compared to that slight irritation, he was more interested in the information behind those words.

"What do you mean?" he frowned. "Does this sect have someone even more powerful hidden within it?"

Dowblis Snake merely sneered and didn’t bother answering Wu Chaochang’s question. His meaning was already obvious enough. If Wu Chaochang wanted to know the truth, he would first have to get him out of this prison.

Wu Chaochang stared at him for a few moments before silently looking away.

He wasn’t foolish enough to release an unknown Golden Core cultivator before finding his own people.

Instead, his gaze swept across the other prisoners.

"Where are the new prisoners being held?"

The surrounding prisoners looked at one another before someone cautiously spoke.

"If we tell you..."

"...will you release us too?"

Wu Chaochang nodded without hesitation.

"After I find the people I’m looking for, I’ll naturally release all of you."

Although none of them completely trusted his promise, he was the only opportunity they had seen in years. Whether they believed him or not, they had little choice but to gamble.

"They’re being held toward the western edge of the prison."

The moment he received the answer, Wu Chaochang immediately rushed deeper inside.

While moving through the prison corridors, an uneasy feeling gradually settled deep inside his heart.

Originally, rescuing his own subordinates had been today’s objective. If circumstances allowed, he had also intended to free several powerful prisoners and recruit them into his own forces. However, after learning that Foundation Building cultivators and even a Golden Core expert like Dowblis Snake were imprisoned here, he no longer dared to act carelessly.

The few words spoken by Dowblis Snake had shaken him far more than he cared to admit.

For some reason, the White Moon Sect, which he had believed he understood inside and out, suddenly felt shrouded beneath a layer of fog. The deeper he thought, the less familiar it became.

Right now, he only wanted to find his subordinates, leave this place as quickly as possible, and observe the situation for a while before deciding his next move.

Unfortunately...

Things weren’t going according to plan.

He searched one prison cell after another, carefully checking every face he passed.

None of them.

Another corridor.

Still none.

Another row of cells.

Nothing.

’Where the hell are they?’

Wu Chaochang irritably grabbed his own hair.

Those people weren’t ordinary followers whom he could casually replace. They were subordinates he had personally cultivated over the years, and more importantly, they were absolutely loyal to him.

Finding capable people wasn’t particularly difficult.

Finding loyal ones... That was another matter entirely.

Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.

Every single one of them had followed him through life and death.

Giving up on them simply wasn’t an option.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Chaochang prepared to search another section of the prison.

Only then did he suddenly realize something. The previously noisy prison had become completely silent.

All the clattering and noises of the prisoners desperately calling for help.

Suddenly, it went so quiet that it felt unnatural.

His expression became vigilant.

’What happened?’

Almost simultaneously, a strong sense of danger exploded inside his mind.

Without thinking, Wu Chaochang instinctively tried to dodge.

Unfortunately... His reaction was still a fraction too slow.

The warning given by his instincts only became stronger. He barely managed to turn his head before a massive fist rapidly filled his vision.

’Oh fuck—’

Boom!

A dull impact echoed throughout the prison.

An intense pain exploded across his face before everything turned black.

Wu Chaochang collapsed onto the ground without another sound.

"Huh?"

A puzzled voice suddenly broke the silence.

Su Mo looked down at the unconscious Wu Chaochang before scratching his cheek.

"As expected of a Destiny Protagonist."

"I was aiming for the back of his head..."

"...yet he actually used his face to block my punch."

Yang Qingxi’s eyebrows twitched.

"...I think he was just trying to dodge."

Wu Yuna silently stood nearby.

"..."

Su Mo thought about it for a moment before nodding. "That also sounds reasonable."

He quickly waved away the matter.

"Forget it. Let’s take his Storage Ring first."

"I’ll do it."

Yang Qingxi calmly walked over before crouching beside the unconscious Wu Chaochang. Reaching for his hand, she grabbed the finger wearing the Storage Ring and tried to pull it off.

The ring didn’t move. She frowned slightly.

"...It seems to be stuck."

Watching another man’s hand being held by Yang Qingxi, Su Mo felt a strange sense of discomfort rise inside him.

He knew perfectly well she was only retrieving the Storage Ring, so he forcefully suppressed that unnecessary feeling before offering a practical suggestion.

"Maybe you could use some lotion to make it slip—"

Chop!

Puchi!

"..."

Su Mo’s unfinished sentence abruptly stopped.

He stared blankly ahead.

Without changing her expression in the slightest, Yang Qingxi had already taken out a short blade and directly chopped off Wu Chaochang’s finger together with the ring.

The severed finger landed on the floor. The Storage Ring came off effortlessly.

Yang Qingxi casually picked it up before speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Why would I waste my expensive lotion on this piece of trash?"
