Cheng Qi let the concubine’s people kidnapped him and sent him to the palace where Concubine Li lived. Only then did he realize that the entire Zuiyun Palace had been enchanted by the snake demon, and no matter what sneaked in, it would not escape the perception of the snake demon. Fortunately, Tan Eyu was cautious that night and did not touch the palace’s boundaries.

When he saw a transport formation a hint of surprise appeared on Cheng Qi’s face. The people walked over it with Cheng Qi and instantly transferred to the dungeon. It wasn’t until he heard the voice of someone speaking in front that Cheng Qi quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

“Stop, why did you bring a shungaer?” When the person guarding the dungeon saw someone coming in, he stopped them all and checked them one by one.

Cheng Qi sensed that both the people guarding the dungeon and the people who brought him in, had the mark of the snake demon on their bodies. They should be slaves contracted by the snake demon. It seemed that he couldn’t rely on these people.

After they were stopped for inspection, the leader replied, “The master asked for it. We are just following the instructions.”

“Go in.” The man guarding the dungeon didn’t find anything strange, so he waved and let them go.

After feeling his hands and neck were shackled, Cheng Qi did not wake up immediately. Instead, he waited for these people to put on the shackles and move away. Then he quietly narrowed his eyes to look at this dark and damp place. But the more he looked, the colder he felt in his heart.

The snake demon had actually trapped these women like animals and kept them in separate cells. Everyone had iron chains on their hands, feet, and necks. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants crawled over the ground from time to time.

The entire dungeon exuded the stench of feces and blood. When Cheng Qi saw this scene, what he thought of was that luckily, Li Tianyan was not here.

“Have he been arrested?”

While Cheng Qi was quietly looking around the dungeon, he suddenly heard a familiar voice and immediately closed his eyes when he realized it was the snake demon.

“Answering the master, he has been captured. He is inside the cell.” The men who brought Cheng Qi in had not yet left. When they saw Concubine Li coming, they immediately answered politely.

“There are still two left, hurry up and find them.” Concubine Li gave an order to the few slaves behind her and then walked towards the cell where Cheng Qi was imprisoned.

Seeing the person lying on the ground was not awake, Concubine Li slowly squatted down and grabbed the sleeping person, blew on his face, and grinned, “Little shuanger, we meet again.”

Cheng Qi felt a cold chill suddenly pass through his heart, and he opened his eyes slightly and woke up, only to face a pair of brown vertical pupils like a cold-blooded beast. He screamed in fright and pushed back a few steps until he bumped into the wall behind him, stopping his movement.

Concubine Li smiled with satisfaction when she saw his reaction and stepped closer to the shuanger. The snake tongue spitting out of her mouth almost touched his face, “A shuanger has more Yin energy than ordinary woman. Such a good thing for but also a bad luck to you.”

“What are you going to do? Don’t eat me.” Cheng Qi curled up into a ball, trembling and crying, as if he had gone back to childhood when he was bullied, looking weak and helpless.

“Don’t worry, I won’t eat you. I’ll only eat the piece of meat in your belly.” The snake demon had a charming smile on her face, but her words were terrifying.

When the pregnant women in the dungeon heard her words, they couldn’t help but tremble, and their hands subconsciously protected their abdomens.

.

Cheng Qi waited until the snake demon left the dungeon, then he relaxed his curled-up body a little, stretched out his hand, and patted his chest to calm down his shock, silently muttering in his heart, fortunately, the snake demon didn’t notice anything.

Seeing that the people guarding the dungeon were still outside, Cheng Qi boldly raised his head and looked around the dungeon. He found that there were indeed many cells here, each holding at least two to three women.

After Cheng Qi took a closer look, he found that some of these women looked as if they were dead, while others had eyes full of fear but still harbored a desire to survive. It could be seen that the women who had lost their vitality were those who had been captured into the dungeon and then forcibly impregnated, while those who were still trying to escape were the women who had been captured while pregnant.

Cheng Qi then turned his attention to the pregnant woman who was locked up with him. The clothes on this woman’s body were quite neat in the dungeon, indicating she must have been captured not long ago.

Cheng Qi saw she looked frightened, but her hands were still tightly protecting the child in her belly. He quietly leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Are you from the Li family*?”

[In chapter 86, there was a missing daughter-in-law of Li family.]

Sure enough, the woman immediately reacted and looked up at the speaker. “How do you know about my Li family? Will they come to save me and the child?” After speaking, her eyes suddenly dimmed. “How can we common people fight against those in the palace?”

“Don’t worry too much, you are pregnant, you have to take care of your body. I will definitely find a way out,” Cheng Qi comforted her in a low voice, then asked again, “You’ve been here for many days. Does that woman come here often?”

The woman shook her head and said, “I’ve only seen her once before. Today is the second time I’ve seen her.”
