Chapter Ninety-Eight: Prisoner Life
"It's time to eat. Tao Yao put the tray on the table and said expressionlessly. She has been really annoyed with Shen Yu these days, but Yingfu Xingjun named her to deliver food.
Shen Yu's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, just long enough to reach the tray on the table, but he didn't get up, but raised his chin and said to Tao Yao: "Bring the rice." β
Tao Yao hated his arrogance, and said angrily: "Is your hand broken? I'm not a slave, I want to eat and come and get it myself!"
Shen Yu snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "You were originally a slave, the slave of the Luminous Star Monarch, and now he sent you to serve me, why, unwillingly? This is what your master meant." He deliberately emphasized the word "waiting".
"You!" Taoyao's face was red and white, she wanted to kill him in a hundred ways, cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs, but she couldn't! "I'm not the slave of the Glowing Star, and he's not my master, we're just allies!" she said with restraint. In fact, she didn't have to explain this to Shen Yu at all, but her self-esteem didn't allow her to be insulted unwarrantedly, especially when facing people she hated.
Shen Yu was noncommittal, he was not interested in what the relationship between Tao Yao and Ying Chao was, he was just not used to being used as a prisoner, especially a bargaining chip to threaten others, this kind of slaughter was very bad, he was powerless to resist, so he had to find an outlet for catharsis, and Tao Yao unfortunately became a scapegoat.
The two looked at each other and hated each other, and they both wanted to kill each other, but for various reasons, they couldn't do it, so they could only stare angrily.
Shen Yu walked slowly to the table with a dangling iron chain, picked up chopsticks and ate a note of green vegetables, "Tomorrow I will ask the kitchen to make a few more meat dishes, I am a bird, not a rabbit, every day cabbage and tofu, eating is unappetizing." β
"If you don't want to eat, you can't eat it. Tao Yao was laughed at by him, being a prisoner and picking and choosing, she can be regarded as a long insight.
"So what, you can't kill me anyway, in that case, what's wrong with me making a request?" Shen Yu said as a matter of course. He knew that Yingfu would not kill him for the time being, and Tao Yao was just a fox and a fake tiger, so he could be unscrupulous.
Tao Yao pursed her lips and didn't speak, and said after a long time: "Okay, you can make do with it today, and I'll let the kitchen cook a good meal for you tomorrow." The tone was not good, but it was acceptable, but what she thought in her heart was that she was going to make a mess in the meal, although she couldn't kill him, but a small punishment was still okay, so that he wouldn't be arrogant again.
At this time, Shen Yu didn't know what the consequences of offending the banshee were, but he asked half-convinced, "Really?"
"Then it's fake, can't I even cook a meal?" Tao Yao rolled her eyes at him. "I'm done eating, I'll take the rest out when I'm done. Before she could finish speaking, she took the tray without saying anything, causing Shen Yu to scold behind her.
It's enough, one day she will teach him a hard lesson, Tao Yao secretly swore in her heart as she walked.
"Miss Taoyao, the master called you over. A demon interrupted her thoughts. "Got it, send this to the kitchen, and tell the kitchen to make a few meat dishes tomorrow. β
"Yes, Miss Taoyao. The little demon took the tray and stepped back.
Tao Yao straightened his sleeves and walked towards Hui Xuan, this is the territory of the Glowing Star Monarch in the demon world.
"Lord Xingjun. Tao Yao stopped five steps away from Yingyu and bowed.
"You're here, how is Shen Yu there?" he turned his back to Tao Yao, unable to see his expression, his red hair looked dazzling in the sunlight, and his tone was as indifferent as ever.
"It's still the same. Tao Yao carefully hid her dissatisfaction, she didn't dare to show too much emotion in front of Yingfu Xingjun, although he never said it, but she knew that Yingfu Xingjun liked obedient tools, and too many questions and thinking would only make him angry. Once, a little demon just asked one more word, and he was seriously injured by him, if it wasn't for the time when he was employing people, the little demon's life was absolutely not guaranteed. She didn't understand, as an immortal, why was the Glowing Star Monarch's anger so heavy, could it be related to his early war with the Demon Realm? She knew that the mortal generals had a killing aura and a bloody aura much heavier than ordinary people, could it be that the same was true for the Glowing Star Monarch?
"Why don't you say it?" said an indifferent voice.
Tao Yao was excited, and hurriedly returned to his senses: "Lord Xingjun, he... Uh,"
"Talking and talking, do you have something to hide from me?"
"No, absolutely not! Tao Yao is loyal to adults!" she knelt down in a panic, grabbing her head to the ground, and she could hear her own fierce heartbeat.
"Get up, as long as you don't betray me, I won't blame you. β
Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and got up slowly, "Thank you for your grace." β
"The grace of impunity?" Ying Chao seemed to have heard something funny, and actually laughed for a moment, and then returned to indifference.
The smile was like a flash in the pan, and Tao Yao's mind was blank for an instant, and she couldn't think at all. Yes, Tao Yao has put aside the identity of a god and a monster at this time, and simply sees Yingqiu as an attractive man. No, it's not enough to be attractive, it should be said that he is a man who can easily demagogue. In the demon world, the flower demon fox is famous for its methods of seducing people, almost any mortal can bow down at his (her) feet, but now, the situation is reversed, she is fascinated by the glow, even though she clearly knows that it is not about love, but she still can't help but be attracted to him. She thought that at this moment, no matter what kind of order Yingfu gave her to do anything, she wouldn't even blink her eyes, and she would not hesitate to go to the soup in the real sense.
"What's wrong with you?" Glowing Star Jun frowned, not understanding why she suddenly looked lost and depressed.
"Nothing!" Tao Yao lowered her head, trying to look as natural as possible.
"Remember, be optimistic about Shen Yu, don't let him play tricks, and when necessary, give full play to your flower demon expertise. Yingyi pointed out, "Okay, it's okay, you go down." β
Tao Yao bowed and retired, and only slowly relaxed until he walked far away. She can tell Shen Yu that she is not the slave of the Luminous Star Monarch, but in fact, she is not even as good as a slave. Today, she realized more clearly that if she wanted to, he could even deprive her of her thoughts, making her a complete puppet, and she had no power to resist in front of her. Is he an immortal or a demon? Tao Yao had such a question for the first time, are all the immortals in the heavenly court like him? Or is he the only one who has such the ability to make others willing to give him their lives.
She knew that even if she thought about it in her heart, she shouldn't be, but she still couldn't help it, she wanted to know more about the Glowing Star Monarch, to know more about his past, and this thought was dangerous in itself.
Shen Yu stayed in the room, bored. No one would come to save him, that's for sure, because no one knew he was imprisoned here, and although he had used the burning ashes as a clue before leaving, the chances of being found were slim to none. "Reallyβ" he wiped his face and laughed at himself. He remembered the picture of He Zhiying a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be the last one, and he broke his thoughts, after all these years, how could he break it with a word, but now, it is constantly broken, and it is not only the relationship that is broken, but also the life. It's really a duplicitous and pathetic man, he thinks, he has lived for so long, and in the end he is still the same as a hairy boy, and the person he likes doesn't dare to confess, and he can't be ruthless, so he bears the name of a monster in vain. Unwilling, really unwilling, in fact, he still has a lot of things he wants to do, but he was trapped in a hopeless relationship before, and he was stuck in the past. Seclusion and disgust with the living are actually just a means for him to escape from reality, and now that I think about it, I really shouldn't be. He thought that he would keep Zhiying in his heart and continue to love her, but he also wanted to find a way out for himself, if he still had a chance.
The next day, Tao Yao came to deliver food to Shen Yu as usual, and this time the dishes were really full of color, flavor and flavor, and Shen Yu had a great appetite when he saw it.
"Looks like you're listening. He raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. It is true that as Tao Yao said, she will not be unable to even cook a meal, but the key to the problem is whether she is willing to bother with it. As we all know, he is just a prisoner, although he will not be executed immediately, but it is impossible to want good treatment, Yingfu has no special orders to take care of him, so they will only treat him as an ordinary prisoner, he looks at these dishes, to be honest, quite content.
"Hey, this is what you said, why don't you eat meat dishes?" Tao Yao said to him.
Shen Yu smiled lowly: "If you are not fierce, you are not too annoying." β
Tao Yao subconsciously wanted to refute, but thinking of the words of Yingyu Xingjun, she swallowed back the words that she was about to blurt out. "If you want to eat it, eat it quickly, and I'll have to send the tray back later." She was angry, and her attitude was not very good, but it was not enough to fight immediately.
"With your status and status, you shouldn't just do errands like delivering food, I think Yingfu Xingjun should also give you a group of subordinates to be his right-hand man, and with your prestige in the demon world, it shouldn't be a problem to gather a group of little demons. He said unhurriedly. When others say this, they can only be regarded as poor, but he is serious, as if he is concentrating on analyzing the problem.
Tao Yao looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and he didn't answer his words.
Shen Yu felt bored, and was about to send a dish to his mouth, when he saw Tao Yao staring at him, his mind turned and said, "Why, are you willing to send me such a good dish today." β
"Didn't you say that you were tired of eating cabbage and tofu and asked for meat dishes?" Tao Yao felt that he was really difficult to serve, she thought about it, this kid shouldn't be a pastime for me, thinking of this, her face was even more difficult to look at.
Shen Yu saw that she didn't look like she was lying, and secretly said that she had thought too much, and finally ate the dish.
