Chapter 224 - News From Chu Tiankuo (1/2)

Chapter 224 News From Chu TiankuoJust as Tang Xia was still panicking, Chu Tianjiao only made an authoritative speech, without saying a word about Tang Xia’s punishment. Finally, he took his leave in front of everyone, who were staring at him in shock.

Chu Tianjiao was letting Tang Xia off, just like that?

After realizing this fact, all the girls in the Garden of Eden were dumbfounded. Countless complicated gazes filled with jealousy, injustice, confusion and shock were cast at Tang Xia.

Tang Xia herself was so shocked, that she stood rooted to the ground. She did not understand what his intention was.

Just moments before, definitely no one believed that she would emerge unscathed. None of those who failed in their escape attempts, had ever had a good ending. This was evident by many of the bloody punishments meted out.

Besides, not only did Tang Xia try to escape, she even instigated the girls in hell to rebel. In such a situation, it was obviously much more serious than merely trying to escape.

But right now, it seemed like what was deemed impossible, had happened just like that.

All the girls looked at Tang Xia in shock, as if she was a monster.

But no matter what, this was Chu Tianjiao’s decision after all. He was the leader of the Garden of Eden, no one would dare to question his decisions.

The girls thought, “Perhaps he has yet to figure out a proper way to torture her.” After Chu Tianjiao left, they returned to their rooms soon after.

Meanwhile, the girls from hell were quickly brought away by the maids to accept their punishment. The hateful glares they threw at Tang Xia before they left, caused her to lower her head silently. She did not dare to meet them in the eye.

Soon, Tang Xia was left standing all alone. Chu Tianjiao did not punish her, nor tell her how he was going to deal with her. Tang Xia’s gaze faltered, she did not know what to do.

But soon, there was a trace of determination in her face.

Why Chu Tianjiao did not punish her, did not matter. Since he did not restrict her actions, she would make full use of this chance.

She gritted her teeth and strode towards the door.

A big reason as to why she failed this time around was due to Chu Tiankuo’s sudden disappearance. Tang Xia had to find him to get an explanation. He was the one who brought her back to deal with Chu Tianjiao, why was he the one who backed down first?

Tang Xia did not believe that Chu Tiankuo had been lying to her right from the start, but she could not accept his disappearing act either. Hence, she had to find him, to question him.

Chu Tiankuo had disappeared during the chaotic fight. Other than herself and Chu Tiankuo, those who were present included the other girls from hell, Chu Tianjiao, as well as the maids.

It went without saying that Chu Tianjiao and those maids without consciousness could not be relied on. The only way to find a clue was to look for the girls from hell.

Recalling their hateful glares, Tang Xia was a little hesitant. But it was just momentary. Tang Xia strengthened her resolution, and walked out without any hesitation.

Escaping would never be a solution. She was the one who had confidently said that she was going to lead them out of the Garden of Eden. She should also have the courage to bear the responsibilities of the failure.

Tang Xia thought that she was already mentally-prepared, but when she eventually reached the dungeon, she was still shocked by what she saw.

The girls were all feeling dispirited and were crouching in the corners. Several of them had wounds on their bodies from the fight. As part of the punishment, no one was there to treat these wounds.

However, the wounds on their bodies were only secondary. What was more intolerable was the despair in their eyes. There was not a single trace of life in their gazes. They were only filled with endless darkness.

Chu Tianjiao did not kill them directly. Instead, he used this method to take away their will and vitality slowly.

This kind of punishment was, to a certain extent, much more intolerable than killing them directly.

When Tang Xia appeared outside the dungeon, these eyes finally had a different emotion.

“Tang Xia, how dare you come!”

“If it’s not for you, would we have ended up like this?”

“What I regret most is believing you back then!”

“You traitor, liar!”

“…”

All the girls clutched the metal bars in the dungeon, as they roared at her furiously. If looks could kill, she would already be dead.

“I’m sorry…”

Tang Xia could only repeat these words, non-stop. Seeing the situation they were in, her eyes teared instantly. Even her voice was trembling.

“So what if you’re sorry? Just a ‘sorry’ and we will be able to escape from Chu Tianjiao’s punishment?” One of the girls retorted angrily. She brushed aside Tang Xia’s apology.

“Hmph!” Another girl snorted. She was not even willing to take another look at her. “Why are you still talking to her? Anyway, she will not be punished, how could she understand how we feel?”
