tching those long legs, nicknamed "leg-playing years" by the boys, walk ahead of me in high heels, I could only secretly envy them."Mù classmate, wait for me to drive out... Eh, you, who are you" Mr....I wasn't injured, only my backpack and phone were taken.

Just now, in the hallway, I was blown dizzy by that violent and cold air current, as if someone was talking to me.

A hazy figure, bearing an air of serenity yet a compelling and forceful presence.

This is the real Dragon King, isn't it

He lurked in the shadows, watching us get bamboozled by stand-ins, then made his move at the opportune moment.

How could someone who has lived for over a hundred years be as arrogant as that bald, fat man

Where am I My body feels a bit chilly, yet there's a soft, carpet-like surface beneath me. There's not a sliver of light anywhere around. I stand up and prepare to grope my way towards the boundary. Just a few steps in, I hear a strange "whoosh... whoosh..." sound coming from a corner not far away.

It sounded like a beast's suppressed growl, startling me... What is this... Where did I fall to

I stood still, and the sounds from the corner soon died down.

But as soon as I try to move even slightly, there's an immediate "whoosh... whoosh..." sound.

Some were raspy and broken, but carried a clear warning.

I was so nervous my limbs were stiff. It was so dark I couldn't even make out what was around me. Although I wasn't hurt, I was already imprisoned.

Azure Garden It sounds like a resort name... I'm starting to have bad associations with resorts now. After all, where the Dragon King resides couldn't possibly be a place of scenic mountains and rivers, birdsong and fragrant flowers.

He… he isn’t ruling over the mountains and forests, is he Am I going to be taken to some remote ravine

How can I protect myself or escape

The whispers were still going on, and I huddled there with my arms wrapped around myself, too afraid to move.

“… Is this barrier effective This little girl doesn't seem ordinary…”

"Whether it's useful or not, we have to grit our teeth and bear it. If we can't complete the mission, we'll be... you, look inside that..."

"Inside Do you mean right here inside The more I listen, the more scared I get. What exactly is in that corner"

The eyes, accustomed to the darkness, began to gradually make out some shapes.

It seemed to be a fully furnished room. I saw the outline of a bed and a desk.

There's no light, I can only see things up close. What's in the distant corners, I can't tell. All I know is that if I move, there's a warning "whoosh..." sound that comes out.

"Just hold on, stay alert. Once we get to Rong City and hand her over to our colleagues on land, we're off the hook. What happens to her after that in Malloy is none of our concern!"

Yuncheng Mangluo

These are all what kind of place names, I've never heard of them!

Could I have been secretly transported out of the country

"...Could she hold out all day without food or water" another voice asked from outside the door.

"Everyone said this little girl wasn't ordinary! Look at her, staying in that room and not dying! If we went in, we'd probably be—"

I'm about to cry, what on earth is in this room!

Since you're going to take me out alive, why am I still kept in this terrifying room At least give me a proper prison cell!

I patted myself down, there was truly nothing else on me besides my clothes. I don't have the habit of wearing gold or silver, and I didn't even have anything to exchange for money.

The room was pitch black on all sides, sealed shut. There was likely only a vent in the darkness for ventilation. This must be a black ship.

The smuggled ship should have hidden compartments, used to smuggle goods. The Dragon King has been dealing with illicit items for years and smuggling them out of the country, he should be very familiar with how to deal with maritime inspections.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even if I could escape this room, with the vast ocean outside, I wouldn't have anywhere to go.

What can I do

I rubbed my arms, squatting on the spot until my legs went numb. I had no choice but to quietly move towards the bed.

Inch by inch, I moved closer. Not daring to stand up, I shuffled all the way to the bed.

This is a very narrow single bed with pillows and bedding on it, but there's a heavy musty smell, and you can tell it hasn't been moved in ages.

I didn't dare to lift it, shrinking my body to the edge of the bed, leaning against the headboard, trying to stay as far away as possible from the corner where the sound was coming from.

Why did the two guards at the door say that staying in the room would be fatal Is there a beast in the room

Putting me with wild beasts, this treatment is too inhumane.

I don't know if Mu Wanchen has come after me now. If he has, and there's a barrier protecting him, how do I break through it Everything was taken away.

Perhaps there would be a chance to escape when we get ashore, but it's impossible to move this entire room with us.

It's okay to not eat or drink for a day, but the problem is… what about seasickness…

According to my experience with motion sickness, if I feel like I'm going to vomit, I immediately close my eyes and lie down for a nap. Once I fall asleep, I don't feel nauseous anymore.

But in this situation, how dare I sleep I don't know what's in the room at all. Should I risk exploring it

I can't even close my eyes for a moment in peace, I'm afraid I'll vomit bile.

I clenched my fists, gritting my teeth. With a grunt, I stood up and instantly felt dizzy, almost falling over. I grabbed the nearby table for support, and the ominous "whooshing" sound from the corner intensified.

Like a rusty old computer fan, it made a grating noise.

I felt dizzy and lightheaded. I gritted my teeth and, taking a deep breath of courage, pulled the pillow up and held it close for comfort.

The corner was too dark, the closer I got, the more I felt a chill spreading. I didn't dare reach out to touch it, afraid that some ferocious beast would bite my hand off.

"...huff, huff..."

The closer I got, the more I felt the sound was like... a human

Is anyone else in this room

"Who are you" I asked, could he be someone else who was taken like me

There was no reply, only the warning hiss that pricked at my eardrums. I tentatively grabbed a pillow and poked it forward.

With something so soft, I doubt the other party thinks I have any aggressive intentions.

After several probes, he moved deeper and deeper into the corner. Suddenly, the pillow end was bitten hard.

"Ah!!" A tremendous force almost ripped me away!

The pillow has been bitten!

And with a forceful pull, it tore apart, sending plumes of cotton filling the air!

I collapsed onto the carpet, instinctively burying my head in my arms— how unlucky can I be!

"I mean no harm, no harm at all! I was brought here too, please don't bite me!" I whimpered in a low voice.

A cool drop landed on the back of my hand. My God, could it be saliva from a wild beast

I rolled my head to the side, clutching it, and with a dull "clink," I bumped into a cold, hard padlock.

The lock was tightly fastened to the floor. Reaching out, it felt like a man's leg—someone was locked here!!

"Whew, whew..." The rattling sound of a busted bellows echoed above my head.

I'm about to cry my eyes out —njury" Grandpa placed his hands on his cane and asked me in a deep voice."It's nothing, just still swollen and painful... Is there something you need" I asked directly.The old master glanced at Chen S...
