"Hmm, what's that smell?" Lu'e was shouting when she suddenly smelled a very strong smell of steamed buns. She moved her nose and rolled her eyes, and saw Mu Jiusheng holding a food box in a corner not far away.

"I say, you crazy woman, why did you come here just now? Do you know that I am almost going crazy because of their torture?"

It was dark and damp here, with all kinds of cockroaches and rats, and it smelled really bad. It smelled like feces and urine, and blood. She had never been in such a dirty place before.

Lu'e felt so aggrieved. If it weren't for Altay, how could she have stayed in such a place for so long.

"A prisoner must behave like a prisoner. Even if you cry out here for days, no one will come to rescue you. I advise you to behave yourself. Maybe they will release you in the future if they see that you have a good attitude."

Mu Jiusheng opened the door with a smile, then walked to Lu'e and put the food box down. "It's just steamed. Try it."

"I won't try it. If you have the guts, just let me go. I'm not from Nanyang. Why are you arresting me?"

Lu'e said that she still has a lot of backbone.

She raised her little head high and looked at Mu Jiusheng without blinking.

Mu Jiusheng shrugged and said, "Okay, you don't have to eat it. If you don't want to eat it, I'll just feed it to the dog."

As she said that, she picked up the food box on the ground and prepared to leave.

Lu'e never thought that this crazy woman would be so inhuman. She was just talking, but she actually took her buns away.

"Stop right there, stop right there, do you hear me?

When did I allow you to take my buns? This is mine, put it down now."

Lu'e felt so wronged.

But Mu Jiusheng was obviously the heartless one. Not only did she not let go, she walked even faster.

Green calyx: "..."

Lu'e: "I was wrong. I was wrong, isn't that enough? Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I apologize to you."

“Okay, that’s pretty good.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head when you should." Mu Jiusheng was in a good mood and put the food box in front of Lu'e.

Lu'e pouted her lips, but still opened the box very carefully.

The rich aroma of steamed buns instantly wafted out of the box. I was so hungry that my stomach, which had been rumbling all day due to the delicious smell, started to growl.

Lu'e couldn't bear it any longer, so she picked up the bun and started to eat it without caring whether her hands were dirty or not.

"Yeah, delicious, so delicious!"

Lu'e ate two big buns contentedly, and finally felt a little choked.

"By the way, how did you think of sending me some buns? Did you suddenly realize that I'm actually pretty cute?"

After eating the buns, Lu'e felt much better, and she no longer looked so unhappy when she looked at Mu Jiusheng.

"You think too much." Mu Jiusheng replied expressionlessly.

Lu'e curled her lips, "You are a woman whose words are not pleasant at all. No wonder I don't like you."

Even if she's not that cute, what's wrong with praising her? It won't make you lose a bit of weight.

“Are you from Southern Xinjiang?”

Mu Jiusheng went straight to the point.

The lump in Lu'e's throat was almost vomited out of fright.

"What...what is Southern Xinjiang?"

She doesn't know!

“The art of witchcraft has always been popular only in southern Xinjiang, and although your skills are not that good, you can still see that you have many years of experience.

So you are from southern Xinjiang, right?

Why would you come out there and fight alone?"

Mu Jiusheng bent down and looked at Lu'e quietly.

Lu'e blinked her eyes guiltily, "What Nanjiang? I've never heard of it. I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Oh? You don't understand, right? Okay, then when you understand, I'll give you the buns." Mu Jiusheng said, and took away the food box.

Lu'e was furious. "How come you, a lunatic, only know how to threaten people with food? Do you know anything else besides this one?"

"It doesn't matter if there are few tricks, as long as they are useful. What? You don't buy it? If you don't buy it, why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Jiusheng looked at Lu'e with a relaxed tone.

"You! You are shameless!"

Lu'e never imagined that one day she would be held hostage because of what she ate.

"It's not the first day you've known that I'm shameless. If you want to eat, just tell me earlier and tell the truth. Otherwise, don't say this. I asked them to cancel even the lowest-grade prison food for you."

After Mu Jiusheng finished speaking, he added, "But if you can be obedient and tell me what I want to know, then I will have someone invite you out of here and give you good food, drink and accommodation. How about that?"

"If you were to ask me, since you came from southern Xinjiang and went to Laaltai, it means that you don't have deep feelings for that place. If you don't have deep feelings for that place, why do you have to suffer for yourself for that place? Why don't you listen to me. Tell me the truth and you can get some benefits. This is not considered as bowing your head, right? It's just a direct exchange of information."

It’s no wonder that Lu’e found Mu Jiusheng’s words quite useful.

She really didn't like that hellhole in Southern Xinjiang, otherwise she wouldn't have left there. She had been reluctant to say it, but it was because she didn't want to admit that she had bowed to this crazy woman.

If you just exchange the information for food and shelter, it doesn't seem like surrendering.

"Let me make it clear first. I'm telling you, this is just an exchange, not a slap in the face."

Green calyx said.

Mu Jiusheng nodded, "Don't worry, as long as you tell me what you want, I will give you everything you want, and no one here will look down on you."

Lu'e blinked her eyes and said, "That's good enough."

"Okay, I'll tell you. Actually, I did come from Southern Xinjiang. But that place is not a good place. I advise you not to have any thoughts about it. Outsiders cannot enter that place, and even if someone enters, they cannot come out alive.

You also know that place is rich in Gu worms, right? Everyone is divided into different categories from birth, and some low-class children will have Gu worms implanted in their bodies, and become toys, tools, and servants of high-class children.

Because they were implanted with a poisonous insect, they had no right to disobey and could only be controlled by others throughout their lives.

As for those advanced children, they will receive higher education from an early age and learn how to control poisonous insects.

When they grow up, they will be classified according to their ability to control the poisonous insects.

The capable ones will become officials in the royal family.

Those who are not strong enough will become soldiers in southern Xinjiang or be beaten into civilians.”

Lu'e paused here.

Mu Jiusheng followed up by asking, "You are not a high-level child, you escaped. Right?"
