Chapter 1021 - Accidentally Finished
Ao Sheng looked at Ao Xin with a strange gaze.
He wouldn't have thought much of it if his daughter hadn't explained.
But judging from her current reaction...
Why are you blushing when it's just your junior brother?
"Oh, right, Father," Ao Xin suddenly remembered something, clenched her fist seriously, and said, "You must be careful of Cang Ting!"
"Cang Ting? What's wrong?"
"It was last time, when I was having dinner with Junior Brother Ye Ge and the others, we were followed by that group of Western dragons. Later, Ye Ge discovered them and subdued them, and then..."
After listening, Ao Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, Ye Ge saw the Cang Ting family crest in their spiritual world?"
Ao Xin: "That's right!"
Ao Sheng: "So, according to you, Cang Feng conspired with the Western Dragon Clan to kidnap you?"
"Hmm... I don't know." Ao Xin shook her head: "But those Western dragons are definitely related to Cang Ting!"
Ao Sheng remained silent, seemingly lost in thought: "Hmm..."
......
Imprisonment cells.
"Four 2."
Ye Ge smiled and put down her cards: "I won again."
Bai Xueling: "..."
The Spirit of Calamity: "..."
Ye Ge picked up the pen and wrote the last stroke of the character "正" on Bai Xue Ling's delicate face.
"I'm not playing anymore." Bai Xueling pouted, crossed her arms, and turned away.
"What's wrong? Did you lose too much?" Ye Ge poked her with his finger: "It's nothing, Master will deliberately lose to you in the next game."
"It has nothing to do with winning or losing." Bai Xueling said with a straight face, "I'm just not in the mood here."
Night Song: "If you win, your master will wash your feet every night before bed and give you a massage. If Lingling can't fall asleep, there will also be a sleep-inducing and sleep-accompanying service."
"...Who cares about your foot washing and massage!" Bai Xueling paused, then muttered softly, "Then let's have one last round."
"Ok."
"..."
Night Song dealt the cards. The Spirit of Calamity picked up the cards with its wings and said, "My lord, perhaps I should go out and let Lady Gao Shenxue and the others know that you are safe. This should be the first time you have been out of contact with them for so long. Lady Gao Shenxue and the others must be worried."
“It’s no use, you can’t get out.” Night Song said, “The walls here are made of a special metal material that can suppress the supernatural power of the imprisoned, and the outer rune barrier is made by the divine power of a high-level divine mage. You can’t use your magic here.”
The spirit of calamity was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and stretched out its wings to try to dissipate into black mist, only to find that it was indeed impossible.
The feathers scattered, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke before disappearing completely.
"That's true..."
"Of course."
While playing cards, Ye Ge said, "Don't even mention you, even my divine power was suppressed."
The spirit of calamity was slightly surprised: "Even your divine power doesn't work?"
“Yes.” Ye Ge looked up at the metal walls of the cell and murmured, “I feel like some kind of ancient power has been incorporated into the material of these walls…”
The walls of the prison cells were not entirely smooth metal, but were inlaid with some ancient materials.
The walls were engraved with some strange ancient runes and some odd patterns.
I wonder what kind of ancient black technology was used when this prison was built.
"Hmm?" Ye Ge's eyes lit up as she stared at a red pattern on the wall.
The red stripes look a bit like the shape of a bird.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Xueling asked curiously, noticing Ye Ge's expression.
“…It’s nothing.” Ye Ge said, then came to her senses and played the cards in her hand: “345678910jqk straight.”
Bai Xueling: "..."
Night Song: "Ah... I'm sorry, I was just spacing out and accidentally finished playing all my cards again."
"..."
"So there's no other way. From now on, Lingling will remember to wash Master's feet every night before bed and give him a massage. If Master can't fall asleep, Lingling will also be responsible for coaxing him to sleep and providing sleep companionship."
"?????"
Bai Xueling finally realized she'd been tricked by this rascal again, and her face flushed with anger: "I won't! You're cheating!!!"
Ye Ge had already stood up by this time.
He approached the metal wall, pinched his chin, and carefully examined the runes and patterns on the wall.
They are indeed all ancient runes...
These ancient rune stones, even after so many years, still retain such a strong power, capable of suppressing the pure divine power within him.
Ye Ge squinted at the red bird-shaped pattern.
"Hey, Azure Dragon Elder, White Tiger Senior, can you hear me?"
'...'
"Why do you call Him 'senior' but I 'old Deng'?" Qinglong's voice rang out, his tone somewhat resentful and dissatisfied.
"Isn't it because we're closer? We're practically family." Ye Ge said matter-of-factly.
Azure Dragon: '......'
"What is it?" Baihu's calm, dignified, and somewhat aloof voice rang out.
Night Song ran her fingers along the bird-shaped pattern on the wall and said, "Look at the bird-shaped pattern on this ancient runic stone inlaid on the wall, doesn't it look like a Vermilion Bird?"
The White Tiger examined it carefully and quickly confirmed, "That's right, it is indeed the pattern of the Vermilion Bird."
"Is that so...that makes sense..." Ye Ge took a deep breath, hearing Bai Hu confirm his guess, and continued, "This rune stone isn't just about having a Vermilion Bird pattern; it definitely retains some of the Vermilion Bird's holy power!"
'The residual holy power of the Vermilion Bird?' Azure Dragon also became interested: 'These people actually used the rune stones left behind by the Vermilion Bird Palace to build prisons?'
'The Vermilion Bird Palace?'
"These rune stones were only found in the Vermilion Bird Palace from ancient times." The Azure Dragon paused, then added, "But that was over a hundred million years ago. After the gods annihilated the Four Divine Beasts, they long ago demolished all of their temples."
'Is that so...'
"The runes on these seem to follow some strange patterns," the White Tiger said again.
'A pattern?' Night Song wondered.
"Actually, it's a code used by various races within the Sacred Beast Clan. By using specific arrangements and combinations of these runes, the meaning of the code can be revealed."
The White Tiger paused, then said, "This looks like a secret code deliberately left by the Vermilion Bird to mark the descendants of its race, and it seems these runes haven't been deciphered. The people of the Light Alliance probably didn't know this, which is why they used these Vermilion Bird rune stones as ordinary power-suppressing stones to build this prison."
