Chapter 573: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (177)
Xiao Tang led Bai Chao and Jing Hengzhou to the lowest level of the water dungeon.
The dim candlelight illuminated only a corner of the cell, but it was enough to make out a gaunt woman sitting inside.
But upon closer inspection, the cell was surprisingly clean and tidy, despite being dark and damp.
The woman seemed oblivious to anyone's presence, showing no reaction to the footsteps.
Xiao Tang leaned over the edge of the cell and waved excitedly from outside.
Miss, Miss!
Xiao Tang's "ah ah" made the woman inside slowly turn her head.
Xiao Tang is not wearing a hood now, revealing her true appearance.
But her face was stiff and she couldn't make any expressions. Her forehead was also scraped from hitting her head so hard. She could only keep waving her hands, which looked very strange.
The woman looked away expressionlessly, but suddenly stopped.
She saw Bai Chao standing next to Xiao Tang.
The woman trembled, then suddenly screamed and shrank into a corner, covering her head.
"Ghost...ghost!"
Jing Hengzhou's eyes darkened.
Jiang Yingchu recognized Bai Chao.
Xiao Tang awkwardly stopped waving.
She almost forgot that her appearance was not very elegant.
Bai Chao carefully examined the crazy woman inside, then glanced at the eager Xiao Tang beside her.
"You want to save her?"
Xiao Tang nodded frantically.
“Ah Chao”.
Jing Hengzhou said in a low voice, "She has someone taking care of her."
Actually, there were two people imprisoned in the water dungeon before, but Mu Nan was released after being pleaded for because of his sister and Jing Hanyue.
Mu Nan was reluctant to leave, but under his sister's tearful persuasion, he eventually had no choice. However, after leaving, he would come to the water dungeon every day to take care of Jiang Yingchu.
Jing Hengzhou only targeted Jiang Yingchu, turning a blind eye to Mu Nan's actions.
Thanks to Mu Nan's care, Jiang Yingchu did not suffer too much in the water dungeon.
However, Jiang Yingchu's mental illness is getting worse.
No matter how much medicine Mu Nan gave him, he couldn't get better.
"..."
Bai Chao moved a little closer to the cell, seemingly trying to get a clearer look at Jiang Yingchu's face.
Jing Hengzhou tightened his grip and pulled the person back to his side.
“Ah Chao”.
Bai Chao raised his head: "Jing Hengzhou, let her go."
"..."
Jing Hengzhou looked silently into Bai Chao's clear eyes without saying a word.
He wondered if Bai Chao would blame him for treating his sister this way if he regained his memories one day.
However, it took him a long time to suppress his murderous intent towards Jiang Yingchu.
After returning from the back mountain, he discovered changes to the furnishings in his room and bloodstains that had seeped into the floor.
No matter how well Mu Nan tidied up the room, it couldn't compare to the owner's familiarity with it.
Upon noticing something amiss, Jing Hengzhou immediately subjected the two to severe torture to extract a confession.
Mu Nan kept saying that he did it, but in the end, because he couldn't bear to see Jiang Yingchu being punished, he vaguely told the truth.
Jing Hengzhou really wanted to kill Jiang Yingchu.
However, since Bai Chao's body had not yet been found, Jing Hengzhou still held onto a sliver of hope.
He searched for Bai Chao for three years.
After the incident involving the Corpse Puppet Sect, Jing Hengzhou once suspected that Bai Chao might have been brought into the Corpse Puppet Sect.
In order to eradicate the Corpse Puppet Sect as soon as possible, he chose to personally go to the Western Regions to ask the Holy Sect for help.
If he still can't find Bai Chao after wiping out the Corpse Puppet Sect, he will definitely make Jiang Yingchu stay trapped in this water dungeon forever.
But luckily, he found him.
Bai Chao tugged at Jing Hengzhou's sleeve: "Jing Hengzhou?"
Jing Hengzhou looked at Bai Chao with a complicated expression: "A-Chao, why do you want to let her go?"
"I don't know either." Bai Chao pointed to his chest in confusion. "It just hurts a little when I see her."
"..."
Jing Hengzhou's heart softened, and he pulled the person into his arms.
That's it.
This person is still alive, standing perfectly fine in front of him.
Then everything else becomes unimportant.
Jing Hengzhou sighed in resignation.
"it is good……"
……
Outside the water prison.
The weather outside remained sunny and breezy.
Xiao Tang seemed somewhat afraid of Jing Hengzhou. As soon as they left the water prison, she immediately helped the trembling Jiang Yingchu walk away.
Jing Hengzhou and Bai Chao were still standing at the entrance of the water dungeon.
"..."
Jing Hengzhou noticed that Bai Chao kept watching their departing figures, and even took a step forward.
"Ah Chao!" Jing Hengzhou grabbed the person, his voice tinged with unease.
"Hmm?" Bai Chao looked at Jing Hengzhou, his eyes full of confusion.
"you……"
Jing Hengzhou wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words.
"..."
Bai Chao blinked, then suddenly turned around and affectionately hugged Jing Hengzhou's neck: "Jing Hengzhou, have you forgotten that you made a wish to the Holy Eagle?"
Jing Hengzhou instinctively wrapped his arms around Bai Chao's waist, and paused slightly when he heard Bai Chao's words: "..."
Bai Chao smiled gently: "I told you, your wish will definitely come true~"
“Ah Chao…”
Bai Chao tiptoed and kissed Jing Hengzhou's lips.
"Jing Hengzhou, take me back. I'm not familiar with the way here."
Jing Hengzhou picked the person up horizontally.
"it is good."
