Chapter 2816: Get Back In
“Alright, begin already,” Allen said, somewhat impatiently. His hand reached for his sword hilt again.
After a moment’s thought, Ning Shu released a fire dragon.
However, this fire dragon was very small and delicate.
The dragon’s body was covered in vivid flames as it swam through the air.
“What is this?” Allen asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu took back the dragon, and it turned back into energy that flowed into her dantian.
“I asked what this is. Is that thing alive?” Allen questioned.
Ning Shu nodded. “It’s not alive, but given time, this dragon can grow.”
Allen scrutinized Ning Shu, looking for signs of deception. “If you dare lie to me, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
Ning Shu nodded. “I won’t deceive you.”
“Get back in,” Allen pointed to the cage.
Ning Shu:…
“I have to go back in there?”
“Of course, until you can create a larger… what is that thing?”
“A dragon.”
“Dragons don’t look like that.”
This world had scaled dragons with large wings.
Ning Shu’s was a five-clawed dragon.
“I’m hungry, tired, and need to relieve myself; why cage me?
“It’s not like I can escape,” Ning Shu said. She hadn’t expected Allen to be this vigilant.
“You can eat, drink, and relieve yourself in there,” Allen replied.
Bullshit, you try doing all that in a half-height cage.
“You’re just my slave; you go where I say and do as I command. You don’t get to bargain.”
“I won’t tolerate disobedience; I’ll kill you if you defy me.”
Allen grasped his sword hilt, enveloping it in white energy.
Who was he trying to intimidate? Ning Shu entered the cage with an indifferent expression.
In any case, even if she was in the cage, she could still cultivate. She could cultivate anywhere.
Once she got stronger, this cage was nothing.
Even if Allen tried to swing that huge sword at her, she’d be able to catch it with her bare palms.
“Lock it up,” Allen said to the servant.
The servant, with his hanging, injured arm, went to fetch the key.
The servant brought a large lock, and Allen personally locked the cage before putting away the key.
Ning Shu sat calmly in the cage, composed and unperturbed.
She had been squatting the entire time earlier. This time, she sat cross-legged, and it was much more comfortable. Her cultivation also went faster.
As expected, the lotus position suited cultivation best.
When Allen left, he even locked the door. Ning Shu was left by herself in the room.
Ning Shu closed her eyes and cultivated. She could sense that someone was watching her.
It didn’t matter, though. In any case, once she got stronger, she’d definitely be leaving this place.
Furthermore, before she left, she was definitely going to challenge Allen to a fight.
After all, there’s no way she would be able to escape successfully without first taking Allen out.
Sadly, the ruby ring was forbidden in this world, so she couldn’t take it out.
If she had the ruby ring, she would have annihilated Allen already.
Even without it, though, she had faith in her ability to defeat him.
Once she sensed that she was no longer being watched, Ning Shu deployed a yang gathering formation. This way, her cultivation would go even faster.
The formation activated, and the surrounding yang energy started rushing over. Ning Shu drew all of it into her dantian.
With the rate that this was going, she’d be able to become strong very soon.
Things were finally picking up!
