My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Yun found himself in a huge cell. The walls were mottled and the dim torches flickered with a weak light, barely illuminating the small space.

The air was filled with a suffocating smell of dampness and rust.

Lu Yun tried to move his body and was pleasantly surprised to find that, except for a little weakness, the injuries from the previous battle had mostly healed. All that was left was time for the body to repair itself.

Lu Yun sat up and looked around, his heart full of doubts.

Where is this place?

How did I get here?

He looked around and found a few people sitting in the corner of the cell.

One of them was a middle-aged man with scars all over his head, looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and disdain.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly when he saw Lu Yun looking around. Then he dragged the heavy chain and slowly moved in front of Lu Yun. His scarred face was distorted by a sneer, looking hideous and terrifying.

"New here? You look so dressed like you don't seem like someone from our mountain village."

"But I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible and don't think about going out." His words were full of sarcasm, and he seemed to find Lu Yun's confusion funny.

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, but his tone remained calm.

"Is this the legendary Black Wind Village? It sounds quite impressive." There was a hint of nonchalance in his words, as if he was talking about the weather.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the small cell, sounding particularly harsh.

"Impressive? Haha, you're quite an interesting guy."

"The Black Wind Village is a name that is feared within a hundred miles. The three leaders are all experts among experts. If you knew their methods, you would not even dare to think about it."

His laughter gradually subsided, and a hint of fear and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Lu Yun stood up. Although he was still a little weak, his posture was still upright. He slowly walked to the iron bars of the cell.

Looking out through the gap, I saw that night was falling and a waning moon was hanging in the sky. The entire Black Wind Village seemed unusually quiet, with only the occasional sounds of patrols in the distance breaking the tranquility.

"The three leaders of Black Wind Village, huh?" Lu Yun whispered to himself, with a look of determination in his eyes. "It seems that we need to make a careful plan."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see Lu Yun so calm. He moved closer and lowered his voice with a hint of tentativeness.

"You don't really think you can escape, do you? I've been locked up here for three years, and I've seen many people try to escape, but in the end, well, never mind."

He shook his head, his expression full of sadness.

Lu Yun turned around, looked directly at the middle-aged man, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Everything depends on human effort. How can you know if you don't try? What's your name?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Yun to ask this. After a moment, he answered in a low voice.

"Scarface Li Si, they all call me Scarface."

"My name is Yunlu! Brother Li, judging from your tone, you were forced to become a bandit, right?"

There was more understanding and sympathy in Lu Yun's tone.

Scar Four's eyes flickered. After a while, he sighed and nodded.

"It's a long story. I was originally a hunter living in the mountains. My family was in trouble, so I had to live..."

Lu Yun nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that everyone had their own story.

"Brother Li, if you are willing to help me, I promise to take you away from this damn place."

The night was as dark as ink. In the cell of Black Wind Village, the fire flickered. The conversation between Lu Yun and Scar Four was heard by the prisoners nearby. They were either envious or jealous, but most of them were numb, as if they had long been accustomed to a desperate life.

At this time, a prisoner nicknamed "Liu Laizi" stood up with a sarcastic look on his face. He was disheveled and his eyes were full of provocation.

"Hey, little brother, your idea is quite fresh, but I'm afraid you've been dreaming too much, right?"

Liu Laizi leaned against a corner of the cell, a sneer on his lips and his eyes full of disdain.

"You know, the three leaders of Black Wind Village are all very ferocious. Many heroes tried to escape from this damn place, but they were caught and beaten to a pulp. Not even a bone was left."

He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the cell could hear it, and there was a hint of gloating in his tone, as if he was enjoying seeing other people's disappointed expressions.

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, but did not get angry. Instead, he slowly stood up and looked directly at Liu Laizi with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was looking at a clown.

"Oh? It sounds scary, but I just don't believe in superstition."

There was a sense of ease in Lu Yun's words, as if he was discussing the weather.

"Since Brother Liu knows so much about this, he must have a story. Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can get some inspiration from it."

Liu Laizi was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Yun to react like this. His plan to provoke him seemed to have failed.

He coughed twice, his eyes flickered, but finally he couldn't help but speak, trying to save his face in front of everyone.

"Humph, I, Liu Laizi, was also a famous thief in my past. If I hadn't made a mistake, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

As he spoke, he combed his greasy hair with his hands, revealing a bit of his former pride.

"What do you think? Are you scared?" Liu Laizi said, raising his eyebrows proudly, as if waiting for Lu Yun to retreat.

Lu Yun shook his head slightly, but his eyes became more determined.

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Liu, but I have a problem. The more I hear something is impossible, the more I want to try it."

Liu Laizi glanced at Lu Yun with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and deliberately raised his voice in an attempt to show off his power in front of everyone.

"Hey, kid, stop pretending here. Your skills may be enough to scare people outside, but it's not enough in Black Wind Village."

"I advise you to stay here quietly and don't dream about anything else, lest you get into trouble. Then it will be useless to cry for help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Scar Four slammed the stone wall beside him, causing stone chips to fly. His pair of scarred eyes were like two sharp blades, shooting straight at Liu Laizi. His voice was low but revealed an unquestionable ruthlessness.

"Liu Laizi, shut up! Have you forgotten how you got in?"

Liu Laizi was frightened by Scar Four's sudden momentum and couldn't help but shrink back. His original arrogance was instantly extinguished.

He swallowed, his eyes flickering, and his arrogant look instantly became a little timid. Finally, he slowly closed his mouth, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he dared not say anything.

Seeing this, Lu Yun raised a faint smile.

He slowly stood up, walked to Scar Four, and patted him on the shoulder gently, with a tone that was both teasing and serious.

"Brother Li, don't be angry. The barking of dogs is not worth our attention."
