Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'm returning to the Demon Capital today!"
Due to the Black Snake incident, Lin Chen had to put aside matters on the Douluo Continent.
Now that the matter was resolved, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with on the Douluo Continent.
"So soon? Won't you stay a few more days?" Tang Yue asked with a face full of reluctance!
"I still have some unfinished business that I plan to take some time to resolve. It won't be long before Lingling should have news of Yan Ji!" Lin Chen explained as he put on his clothes.
Seeing Lin Chen say so, even though Tang Yue felt a little disappointed, she no longer forced him. She softly "hmm"ed.
Lin Chen bid farewell to Tang Yue and returned to the Demon Capital. He didn't go back to Mu Nujiao's villa, but returned to his own small two-bedroom apartment.
As he opened the door, a rectangular metal box appeared in Lin Chen's hand at some point.
"Bang…"
After closing the door, the metal box in Lin Chen's hand gradually emitted a faint glow.
…
Inside a dim, enclosed secret room, a foul odor emanated. The four walls of the secret room were all made of metal, and ancient glowing runes were embedded everywhere on the walls. At the top of the secret room was a wall lamp that flickered on and off, making a "sizzling" sound.
The entire secret room gave off a terrifying and eerie feeling.
Inside the secret room, a girl with a ponytail was curled up on the ground. A thick black collar was around her neck, and one end of the collar was connected to a dark iron chain. The long chain was fixed to the metal wall of the secret room.
The girl's eyes were tightly shut, and her fair face was covered in dirt.
"Pfft…"
With the sound of a door opening, the dim secret room instantly became bright.
The strong light shone into the secret room, making it difficult for the girl on the ground to open her eyes.
A Silver-haired Man slowly walked in from the doorway, and a look of panic appeared on the girl's face.
"I was wrong, let me out!" the girl pleaded, her body trembling slightly, her eyes flickering, tears unconsciously sliding from the corners of her eyes, her fair face already dirty beyond recognition, and a strange foul odor emanating from her body.
"What were you wrong about?" the Silver-haired Man's voice slowly sounded.
"I was wrong to indulge myself, wrong to trust Tang San, wrong to…" the girl kept saying, uttering more than a dozen "wrong to…" as if deeply repenting for her past actions.
The Silver-haired Man slowly stood in front of the girl. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the girl's braid on the ground, and gently lifted her, causing the girl who was prostrate on the ground to slowly stand up.
The girl was wearing dirty rags, her fair skin already covered in dirty smudges. Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were tightly shut, clearly very afraid of the Silver-haired Man in front of her!
This Silver-haired Man was Lin Chen, and the already dirty girl was Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old transformed Spirit Beast captured by Lin Chen.
"Slap…"
With a crisp slap, Xiao Wu fell heavily to the ground. She cried, "No… don't hit me, Xiao Wu is very well-behaved!"
Ever since she was captured by the man in front of her, she had been confined in this dim secret room, suffering inhuman torture every day. Xiao Wu also recognized the man in front of her as Hand Chopping Sword, who had fought with her in Soto City.
Xiao Wu never expected that she had just escaped the wolf's den only to fall into Lin Chen's tiger's mouth!
Ever since she was captured by him, Xiao Wu had been living an inhuman life, not eating enough, not wearing enough, and being tormented by him from time to time. The originally arrogant Xiao Wu had completely changed, no longer having any arrogance left.
Darkness, cold, fear, and loneliness could perfectly describe Xiao Wu's current state. Having tasted bitter hardship, Xiao Wu had also become much more obedient.
When she first came in, she still fantasized about escaping, but no matter how hard she struggled, she failed in the end.
Her spirit power, for some reason, could not be used at all. As days passed, with Lin Chen's daily urging, Xiao Wu also gave up struggling and became a submissive little rabbit who no longer resisted.
"Very well-behaved? Then kneel…" Lin Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu did not hesitate at all. She immediately knelt on both knees, her body bent and trembling constantly, not daring to look up at Lin Chen. She was afraid that if Lin Chen was unhappy, he would punch and kick her, taking his anger out on her!
Lin Chen's lips curled up. Seeing Xiao Wu's miserable state, he felt extremely pleased. "Little San, you never expected this, did you!"
In his previous life, while studying spirit tools, Lin Chen created this secret room spirit tool.
That's right, this secret room was a spirit tool. Strictly speaking, this secret room was a five-and-a-half-level spirit tool.
Any Spirit Master below Spirit King who was confined in this secret room would have their spirit power sealed.
And the key to sealing the spirit power was the thick black collar around Xiao Wu's neck.
This collar could not only seal spirit power but also had the effect of electric shock. As long as Lin Chen willed it, it could release powerful currents!
This secret room was something Lin Chen casually made when he was bored in his previous life. Lin Chen himself never expected it to be used on Xiao Wu.
Tormenting the little rabbit was a very satisfying thing for Lin Chen. Who made the little rabbit Little San's beloved?
Lin Chen would never forget what Little San did to him in his previous life. Now, he would start with the little rabbit!
Lin Chen was generally satisfied with the effectiveness of this secret room. As long as Spirit Masters like Xiao Wu were confined inside, it meant eternal darkness.
The only drawback was the foul smell. There was no helping it, Xiao Wu had been confined for so long, she had to eat, drink, and relieve herself every day, right? Lin Chen didn't want the little rabbit to die so quickly, after all, he hadn't had enough fun yet!
Inside the secret room, although Lin Chen designed a squatting pit, there was no extra water inside. Xiao Wu's daily drinking water was delivered by Lin Chen. This water could only ensure Xiao Wu's most basic survival; other uses were simply impossible.
He then said, "Come here!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's already trembling body trembled even more violently. She laboriously dragged her body, slowly crawling towards Lin Chen.
After a while, Xiao Wu crawled to Lin Chen's feet, continuously muttering, "Don't hit me… please don't hit me, Xiao Wu is very well-behaved!"
Lin Chen smiled, "What do you call me?"
"Ma… Master…" Xiao Wu said tremblingly!
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction. His recent urging of the little rabbit had been very effective.
"Your reward!" Lin Chen said with a smile!
Saying that, two carrots appeared in Lin Chen's hand at some point. Lin Chen threw the carrots onto the ground!
