Xiang Shu's hairpin was suddenly snatched away, and he trembled. After hearing the question, he looked even more flustered, and said hesitantly: "I... I picked it up from outside."
"Um?"
The butterfly demon man's expression turned cold, and he grabbed a gust of wind with his right palm, which made the torture instruments rattle all over the wall.
Xiang Shu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately changed his words: "My mother gave it to me before she died! She said that with this, I could go to the Twin Kings City to live a good life, but before I got to the Twin Kings City, I was... ..."
At this point, Xiang Shu seemed to be unable to speak any more and couldn't help but choke up in a low voice.
The butterfly demon man got the answer he wanted, with a hint of joy on his face. This half-demon was extremely young, so he really didn't need to be frightened. After a little shock, he said everything.
He told the jailer to keep an eye on Xiang Shu and left in a hurry.
Not long after, the butterfly demon man left and returned, carrying Xiang Shu through several secret passages and arriving at a study with a fragrant aroma.
A woman in palace attire in colorful clothes was sitting at the table, holding a piece of tissue paper in her hand. Four maxims could be faintly seen through the back of the paper.
Seeing the butterfly demon man come in, the woman in colorful clothes put away the tissue paper, lowered her eyes and looked at Xiang Shen who was sitting on the ground with a shrinking expression, her eyes flashed, and her brows suddenly frowned.
His bone age is only twelve years old, which is a bit too young. He is still a young half-demon, so he doesn't know if he is qualified.
Thinking of this, the woman in colorful clothes asked: "What's your name?"
Her tone of voice was soft and gentle, unlike other butterfly demons who were hoarse, but Xiang Shen seemed to be frightened into a daze and didn't hear it at all.
The butterfly demon man was about to scold him when he saw this, but saw the woman in colorful clothes raising her hand to stop her, and then said softly:
"Little girl, don't be afraid. I am half the owner of this Butterfly City. You can call me Your Highness.
I have a few questions to ask you. If you answer well, I can not only let you go, but also send you to the Twin Kings City. "
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shu reacted immediately, his pupils gradually focused, he raised his eyes to look at the woman in palace clothes, and asked cautiously: "Really?"
The woman in colorful clothes raised an eyebrow, "Do I need to lie to you?"
Xiang Shen was silent for a moment, then said stumblingly: "Slave... my name is Wuyue."
Servant?
The woman in colorful clothes chuckled. This title was probably taught by Nu Xing, but she didn't need to worry about it.
"Then let me ask you, is what you said in the torture chamber true?"
Xiang Shen nodded immediately, "It's absolutely true!"
"very good."
The woman in colorful clothes slightly curved her apricot eyes, "Little girl Wuyue, there is never a free bargain in this world. I can send you to the Twin Kings City, but there is a price."
Xiang Shen was startled when he heard this, then he was silent for a moment and whispered: "What do you need to do, slave?"
The woman in colorful clothes looked slightly surprised. Although this half-demon was too young, her mind was precocious and she was able to understand everything at once.
She took the hairpin with her bare hands and threw it with her flying sleeves. The hairpin immediately flew out and was inserted into Xiang Shu's hair again.
"This hairpin of yours will allow you to enter the Thought Tower of the Twin Kings City. What I want you to do is sneak into the Thought Tower and transmit back everything you see and hear."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shu looked horrified and declined tremblingly: "My slave... I have never done anything like this before. If I am discovered..."
"If you are discovered, you will die."
The woman in colorful clothes still spoke softly, "I am not forcing you on this matter. If you don't want to, I will ask the Butterfly Guards to find a place for you to be buried alive."
Xiang Shen suddenly grasped the corners of his clothes and said quickly, "I am willing to go!"
"very good."
The woman in palace clothes had a smile on her eyes, and her eyes pointed at the butterfly demon man on the side.
The butterfly demon man understood immediately, walked up to Xiang Shu, took out a white elixir full of fragrance, and placed it in front of Xiang Shu.
"Eat it."
Xiang Shu looked at the elixir with a pale face for a moment, then gritted his teeth, picked up the elixir and swallowed it with his eyes closed.
The woman in palace clothes was more satisfied and slowly
He said, "I guess you know exactly what you swallowed.
This elixir is unique to me, Wandieping, and no one in Shuangwang City can solve it.
If eaten, erysipelas will attack every other month. If there is no antidote, the whole body will slowly corrode in severe pain until complete death.
I will give you the antidote for a month first and give you time to enter Silou to gain trust. After that, you only need to send back one useful message every month to get an antidote. "
Xiang Shen nodded bitterly, "I understand."
"Don't feel aggrieved. This is the normal way for me, Wandieping, to control my eyeliner."
The woman in colorful clothes casually pointed at the butterfly demon man, "He was once just like you, but now he is the commander of our Butterfly City Guards, with a high position of authority.
If you can make a contribution, I, Wandieping, will not treat our own people badly. Not only will we remove this poison for you, but we will also give you the magic method and magic weapon for cultivating demons.
If you can succeed in cultivation, you might not be able to become the second leader. "
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Shen's gloomy face immediately regained some brightness, "I will definitely do my best to share your worries for His Highness."
"What a good girl."
The woman in colorful clothes gave a soft compliment, "You go back first and don't expose yourself. I will ask people to interrogate all the slaves who are in the car with you to eliminate your suspicion.
Tomorrow, a slave merchant will come and take you to the Twin Kings City. "
Xiang Shu nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, I feel that this arrangement is inappropriate."
As soon as these words came out, the butterfly demon man's face immediately darkened: "How outrageous! You, a little slave, dare to interfere with the master's arrangements?"
"It doesn't matter."
The woman in colorful clothes interrupted the butterfly demon man and looked at Xiang Shu with interest, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Xiang Shu glanced at the butterfly demon man cautiously, and when he saw that he didn't speak anymore, he said without confidence:
"The slave just thinks that... the slave merchant only takes away the slave, which is too eye-catching.
If Twin Kings City traces the identity and origin of slaves, it will be easy to expose flaws.
It would be better to let the slave dealer pretend to be a normal transaction, buy all the slaves in the entire fleet, and sell them to the Twin Kings City, so as to confuse the public. "
The woman in colorful clothes was even more surprised when she heard this. I didn't expect this half-demon to be so careful at such a young age.
She thought for a moment and quickly guessed Xiang Shen's thoughts, and her eyes smiled even more.
This girl seemed to have thought for her and made all the arrangements. In fact, she was just afraid of death. After all, the more flaws there were in this matter, the more dangerous her situation would be.
Although she was forced to do this in order to survive, it also shows that Wuyue has high potential and is indeed a good spy.
My sister got a lot of information about the two kings from that person, so maybe she can take the opportunity to give it a try...
Thinking of this, the woman in palace clothes raised her lips and chuckled, "It's good that you can think of this. I have agreed to this and will arrange it for you. In addition, your name also needs to be changed."
Xiang Shen was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What should the slave's name be?"
The lady in palace attire opened her red lips lightly and uttered two words.
"Wang Tuo!"
Xiang Shen's heart was shaken for a moment, but there was no abnormality on the surface, so he immediately responded.
"I obey His Highness's instructions."
After the matter was settled, Xiang Shu was quickly taken away and returned to the cell.
As soon as the butterfly demon man waited for her to leave, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, is this trip too risky?"
The woman in colorful clothes opened the file and replied without raising her head: "Are you talking about the name Wang Tuo?"
The butterfly demon man nodded, "If this is not a good thing, it is very likely to arouse the vigilance of the two kings. I am afraid that this secret will..."
"If you die, you will die. Just find another one."
Cai Yi said calmly, "But if this little girl succeeds, our gains will be far greater than arranging ten secret agents outside the Twin Kings City. It is worth the risk."
After hearing these words, the butterfly demon man suddenly showed admiration.
"Your Highness is wise!"
and
At the same time, Butterfly City Prison.
Xiang Shu was sent back to his original cell by the jailer. When Lan Xiu saw it, her face immediately showed joy. She stood up and came to Xiang Shu. Before she could ask any questions, she saw that the jailer had taken away another slave.
"Sister Lan, I'm fine."
There was a trace of panic left on Xiang Shu's face, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile: "Those demon clansmen only arrested me for questioning. They found that I didn't know anything, so they sent me back."
"So that's it."
Lan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "It should be about Di Miao's self-destruction. Diecheng hasn't found anything yet, so they want to try our luck by interrogating us."
She pulled Xiang Shu to the corner and sat down. After waiting for a moment, she saw that the slave who had been taken away before was returned unharmed, and the words he said were very different from Xiang Shu's.
Lan Xiu was immediately relieved. She lowered her head and saw Xiang Shu's face looking exhausted. She couldn't help but put her in his arms and said warmly: "Looking at you like this, are you scared? Just lean on me and get some sleep."
"Um."
Xiang Shu hummed, leaned on Lan Xiu's shoulder, and closed his eyes.
Today's situation was all caused by her, so naturally it was not a shock.
She looked inside her body and saw that the poison pill she had just entered had been wiped out by the sword intent in her dantian until only a wisp remained. In a moment, it would completely disappear.
This poison pill is more than enough to deal with ordinary half-demon. Even a higher dose would be enough to poison a half-demon with low cultivation level on the spot.
It can be used against her, but it is obviously of no use at all.
Even so, Xiang Shu was not careless. He carefully searched his body to check for any remaining poisons. He thought about what he had just done and made sure there were no omissions. Only then did he regain his composure.
There was no news about Fourth Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Brother. She originally wanted to create some chaos and leave with Lan Xiu, but the conversation she overheard in the restaurant made her think of an easier way.
As long as she becomes King Wandie's spy, she can leave with Lan Xiu without exposing her cultivation.
Even because of their status as eyeliners, Wandie King's people would escort them all the way to the Si Tower in Shuangwang City, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
At this point in the plan, it is no longer difficult to leave Wandieping.
But there was one thing that still made her very concerned.
Wang Tuo.
This place is not connected to the outside world, and there are almost no human monks in Butterfly City. How did they learn about the eldest brother's name?
