Chapter 415 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (25) (1/2)

Shen Xinghai left after handing them to Shi Sheng.

Bai Luo was awake. So upon seeing Shi Sheng, tears streamed down her face as if she finally had an outlet to let all her grievances out.

Without caring whether or not Shi Sheng wanted to know, Bai Luo cried and told her about what she’d experienced these past few days.

That day, she’d just finished breakfast and had accidentally knocked over a cup of tea on herself. She had returned to their room to get changed, but hadn’t expected Liu Xu to come looking for her.

Bai Luo didn’t remember Liu Xu. But she instinctively disliked the latter, so she blocked the doorway, not allowing Liu Xu in.

“Xiaoluo-meimei, there are a lot of people here. Can we go into the room to chat?” Liu Xu spoke in a soft and gentle tone that would be pleasing to the ears of most people.

Yet Bai Luo was an exception. She felt rejection from the bottom of her heart.

“If there’s anything you want to say, you can say it here.”

Hearing this, Liu Xu switched tactics. “Xiaoluo-meimei, don’t you want to know your past?”

Bai Luo’s expression changed slightly as she examined Liu Xu probingly. “You know my past?”

After she’d spoken, she bit her lip. ‘She knows me, so of course she’ll know some stuff about my past. Wasn’t my question unnecessary?’

Liu Xu smiled and nodded. “I know who you are, and what you’ve experienced. If Xiaoluo-meimei wants to know, I can tell you. But this isn’t the right place for it…”

Bai Luo hesitated for a moment. “Then come in…”

She wanted to know who she was, and what the memories she’d lost were.

Liu Xu shook her head and spoke, “Ms Wu Zheng doesn’t really like me, so I won’t go in…”

Liu Xu deceived Bai Luo into entering her room and told her some stuff. But everything she said to Bai Luo sounded very foreign, as if it was someone else’s story.

Bai Luo didn’t know why, but the more she listened, the sleepier she got. As the figure in front of her grew blurrier, she wanted to get up to leave but found that she didn’t have the strength to do so. In the end, she blacked out and darkness overtook her consciousness.

When she came to, Bai Luo found herself locked in a simple room. She wasn’t the only one here—there were other women present.

They either cried in low voices or stared dully at nothing. When Bai Luo asked them where they were, the only answer she got was them shaking their heads.

Bai Luo was very scared, but her fear was reduced somewhat by the fact that she wasn’t alone.

She checked every corner of the room, which drew the attention of a few women. They told her that they’d done the same when they were first locked here, and that the room was completely sealed off.

Their gazes were lifeless and filled with despair.

Bai Luo didn’t know how long she was unconscious for, nor how long she’d been locked up. Every so often, there’d be someone who’d deliver buns to them from the gap beneath the door.

Those women who despaired and cried swarmed forward to grab the food once it appeared. Although they were in despair, they didn’t want to die.

Bai Luo didn’t know the food was limited—she had to go hungry if she didn’t manage to snatch any. This led to a period of time where she starved.

But she got smarter and moved over to sit by the door, so that she was the first one to grab the buns when they were sent in.

The red-clothed lady arrived later.

The woman was still cussing loudly when she was tossed in. She hammered and kicked at the door but to no avail.

When mealtime came around, the red-clothed lady clearly didn’t know about the unspoken rule that one wouldn’t be able to eat if they weren’t quick enough, so she could only stare dumbly at the empty bowl.

Everyone had two buns each, but there were some who took three, causing some of the weaker women to have nothing to eat.

Since they shoved the buns into their mouths quickly, the red-clothed lady didn’t have a chance to even snatch any back.
