"Hey! Don't go! Don't go! I really am Liu Yong! It's really me! I still have other skills I haven't shown you yet! You just don't believe me!"
Liu Yong shouted angrily, but there was only a small vent, just enough to stick out one hand.
Huxin and Liu Yuren continued walking forward. Through the third room, they saw a woman facing the wall with her back to them. The woman was slender and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Dressed in white, she stood there swaying unsteadily, her long hair cascading down her back, moving without wind. Despite Liu Yong's loud shouting from the second room, the woman remained motionless with her back to Huxin and Liu Yuren.
"Hello, young masters and young ladies. I am Jin Niang, the courtesan from the Golden Chamber Building twenty years ago. I can sing, play the piano, and accompany young masters in composing poetry to spend a spring night together. I also have excellent sewing skills and have killed countless people, but all those I killed were the scoundrels who abandoned me!"
Without Liu Yuren needing to explain, the woman had already introduced herself in a delicate voice.
She still had her back turned to Huxin and Liu Yuren, her voice sending shivers down their spines. She claimed to have been imprisoned here for twenty years, which meant she must be at least forty years old. This voice... in modern times, it would definitely outshine any contemporary singer!
But this Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison only held royal family members who had committed serious offenses, right? Mingjing Wangye being locked up here was understandable, but what about Liu Yong and Jin Niang?
One was a Zhenyuan General, and the other a courtesan; how did they end up here?
Liu Yuren noticed the confusion in Huxin's eyes and patiently explained beside her.
"Liu Yong married Pingliang Princess back then, so he is indeed considered part of the royal family. As for Jin Niang, she just married Xuanyuan Jingguang three days ago before being imprisoned here, so she is also related to the royal family."
Huxin suddenly understood and nodded.
"So even by association counts." Her words carried a lot of deeper meaning.
If it weren't for their connections to the royal family, they would receive the same judgment and condemnation as ordinary people. However, because of their ties to royalty, they are condemned to spend their lives in this lightless Secret Prison, talking to themselves and slowly fading away.
This kind of torment is worse than death.
On the surface, it seems like they are given a chance to live; after all, being beheaded a thousand times for their crimes would not be excessive. But the Vast Ancestor established such a rule, using Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison to torment those royal relatives who have made mistakes. This serves as a warning for future generations and is the greatest form of torture and irony for them.
They are made to suffer here.
Indeed, the imperial family has always been heartless!
"Then how is the order here determined? Is it chronological?" Huxin asked as he walked up to the fourth room.
"It’s based on the time they entered, as well as their life and death," Liu Yuren replied, pointing at the person inside the fourth room while telling Huxin.
"Previously, this place housed two princesses from the subordinate state of Yueping Kingdom, Fuyun and Fu Ling. The two sisters lived extravagantly and caused the deaths of three thousand innocent people. When the incident came to light, the elder sister, Fuyun, fell ill and passed away years ago. Naturally, the younger sister, Fu Ling, moved from the fifth room to this fourth room."
As Liu Yuren finished speaking, a woman in a fiery red dress suddenly turned around. Huxin was taken aback by her heavily made-up face.
Did this woman apply three pounds of makeup on her face? Her blush was as red as a monkey's backside, and her lips were painted bright red like two sausages. Her dark eyebrows resembled two caterpillars resting above her eyes, which were murky but lit up instantly upon seeing Liu Yuren.
Even though Liu Yuren was wearing half a silver mask at that moment, the flawless left side of his face was enough to make Fu Ling's heart race and saliva flow.
"A handsome man! A handsome man! Come here quickly! I am Princess Fu Ling of Yueping Kingdom, who has seen many things and cherishes handsome men! Would you like to have some fun with me and see how I taste? Hehe... Every man I have been with has said that I am the finest in the world..."
"Enough, Fu Ling, you little slut! Have any of the men you've been with ever lived to get out of bed? Didn't they all end up castrated and tortured to death by you? Who can prove you're a gem of humanity! Anyway, not a single one is alive to breathe!"
Before the flirtatious and promiscuous Fu Ling could finish her words, a hoarse male voice from the fifth room next door interrupted her with cold sarcasm.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, over the past decade, Liu Dog had often heard Fu Ling's lonely moans and self-soothing sounds at night.
Here, each person had their own room, and Fu Ling showed no regard for others' feelings, comforting herself until dawn every night, resolving her needs dozens of times in one night, which made Liu Dog grit his teeth in frustration. Meanwhile, Fu Ling slept all day to recharge, while Liu Dog couldn't sleep well at night and was unwilling to sleep during the day. Out of anger, Liu Dog would sing various crude songs at the top of his lungs during the day.
"This is Liu Dog, the adopted son recognized by Liu Yong. He is exceptionally gifted and can bend his body to enter places that seem impossible. If Liu Yong valued him for this reason, he was originally called Dogzi, a child raised in the mountains. He was discovered by Liu Yong and became a deputy under him. Later, when Liu Yong was captured, he used his ability to stretch and bend his body to escape during transport. He has been on the run for fifteen years; when I first came here over ten years ago, he had just been captured again."
Liu Yuren spoke while signaling Huxin to continue moving forward.
Huxin nodded; no wonder the windows here could only fit an arm through. Whether it was Mingjing Wangye in the first room, or Liu Yong next door, along with the mysterious Jin Niang and this Liu Dog, each of them posed a significant threat. Even if they could be kept here for life, who could predict what would happen in the future?
If one day this Xuanyuan Family's Secret Prison became unreliable, once these people got out, it would likely bring disaster to the entire Vast Continent.
"The three rooms behind are holding three vampire princes from the Linya Kingdom: Bojie, Skun, and Tugluo. Ten years ago, they survived by feeding on fresh human blood, especially enjoying the blood of nobles with high status. They used this blood to enhance their own powers. Later, Vast Emperor lured them out with his own blood after they had been trapped in a valley for three months; that's how he captured them all and locked them up here."
Liu Yuren pointed at the three adjacent rooms as he spoke.
Huxin's eyes flickered; were these three brothers considered vampires?
