Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Chapter 284 Xu Ling_1 (2/2)

“I wonder what the outside world looks like? It would be nice to see it before I die!”

After purifying the Yin energy within her body, Xu Ling was lying at the prison cell door, fantasizing in her heart.

She was born in this space and had never been outside. She had only heard tales of the external world from the mouths of others.

There, honey was ten to a hundred times sweeter than black vinegar fruit, there were foods of various tastes, all kinds of unheard-of fruits, and various colorful sights.

It was said that there was something called a rainbow that could have seven colors at the same time, she could hardly imagine it.

“No! Don’t! Don’t kill me!”

A harsh scream brought Xu Ling back to reality. She turned her head and saw a guard opening one of the cells, and a young man being dragged out like a piglet.

The young man struggled too violently, so the impatient guard knocked him out with a single blow.

She had witnessed the same scene more than once. Her heart skipped a beat, then quickly returned to calm.

“I wonder who will be next?”

Xu Ling prayed in her heart, hoping it wouldn’t be their cell.

But fate always likes to play tricks on people.

Not long after the young man was dragged away, two more guards came in, walking straight to the cell holding the young boys and girls.

“The boss wants a change of taste today, we better make a good choice. Last time, idiot Shen Biao lost two fingers!” said one of the guards.

“It wasn’t the food last time, it was Shen Biao’s clumsiness that got a strand of hair in it, that’s why the boss got angry!” another guard laughed and said.

“I see! No wonder the boss was so angry! This time we better be careful!”

“Don’t worry! You don’t know my skills?”

“Then it’s up to you. If the boss is satisfied this time, maybe we won’t have to eat leftovers in the future!”

The guards engaged in casual banter, acting as if they were not here to grab people, but to shop for groceries at the market.

This place was isolated from the world, with a weak sense of morality to start with, and they had gradually become accustomed to this environment over a long period of time.

“Don’t come here! Don’t come here!”

Xu Ling kept repeating this in her heart, but it didn’t change anything. The guards kept coming straight towards them, breaking the seal on the door and forcefully pulling them open.

The boys and girls huddled together in fear, like frightened little chicks. Xu Ling trembled all over, with extreme fear turning her brain into a blank void. She instinctively stood in front of the crowd.

Because she was slightly older, she had always been the leader among the village children. Therefore, she had to stand at the forefront, armed with stubborn bravery.

“Yo! Little girl, you’ve got guts!”

Surprised, one of the guards remarked at Xu Ling’s action.

He had done this job countless times before, but this was the first time he had seen anyone move forward instead of pushing others forward.

“This girl seems to be Xu Mang’s daughter, her temperament is just like her father’s, she likes to be in the limelight!”

The other guard seemed to recognize Xu Ling and showed a look of disgust in his eyes.

When Xu Ling’s father was alive, he was his superior officer. He was very strict with him, making a big deal out of the smallest mistakes. It was a source of resentment for him.

He had had a hand in the ambush that led to Xu Ling’s father’s death.

“Since you don’t like her, you might as well choose her.”

The other guard commented indifferently.

“Alright!”

He nodded, and reached out to grab Xu Ling.

Xu Ling instinctively dodged backward, but didn’t expect someone behind her to shove her hard at that moment.

And so, she was easily captured by the guard.

She dared not look back at the rest, only to see relief in the eyes of the rest of the boys and girls.

They were relieved it wasn’t them, relieved they could live for just a little bit longer.

The boy who pushed her still hadn’t completely lowered his hand. It wasn’t anyone else, it was her very own cousin who complained about disliking spiritual medicine.

After catching Xu Ling, the two didn’t stop there. They also grabbed her cousin on their way out. After all, his hand was sticking out.

“No! Don’t grab me!” Xu Ling’s cousin, who had a strong desire to survive, cried out loud and struggled hard. “She is very meaty, one is enough. Don’t grab me! I don’t want to die!”

“Shut up!”

The guard slapped him unconscious and then exited the room, with one of them carrying each of the captives.
