"My father is old, but he was also a playboy when he was young. He had many children, all of whom inherited the Python Clan's inherent cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. They fought openly and secretly, and countless people died, causing the regime to become extremely unstable. In order to consolidate the Python Clan's royal bloodline, the only way to unite is to give my daughter to the master of Chengfeng Castle as his wife."

Hong Ling said calmly, "Otherwise, the Western Wilderness Continent you see now would be a complete empire of star-level monsters! Since my sister couldn't give birth to cubs, they started selecting females and sending them here. And since the lord is just like my father, a playboy, he's incredibly powerful, so the demand for them is quite high. So, in order to get him to help suppress those star-level monsters, my father sent me here."

"Oh, yes! When I was in the Imperial City, I actually had a beastly husband just like you. I even laid two little snake eggs. But before I could even see the little snake cubs hatch, my father sent someone to assassinate my beastly husband and gave me to the lord as his second wife that very night."

Hong Ling's expression was indifferent, as if she was not telling her own story, but someone else's.

"Is there such a father?"

Su Xiyao was amazed when she heard this. "Then don't you hate them?"

"I used to hate him. After all, he killed my beloved beast husband."

Hong Ling raised the corners of her lips in a mocking smile, "But what I hate most is myself. After all my anger, I've become accustomed to life in Chengfeng Castle. I've even learned to be jealous of the males. How pathetic."

"From what I can see, the Lord doesn't seem like a star-level monster that would force others."

Otherwise, Shentu would have taken her away without caring about her and the other females in the hospital.

"Yes, Shentu is quite open and honest about this. He is an eight-star demon beast and has his own pride and dignity. This is very attractive to females. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any mistresses like the third, fourth, fifth, or even sixth."

Hong Ling said, "Besides my sister and me, the third wife is the daughter of the Eagle King of the Western Wasteland Continent, the fourth wife is the daughter of the Leopard Tribe leader, the fifth wife was abducted from the Southern Wasteland Continent, and the sixth wife was abducted from the Eastern Wasteland Continent. Because they were somewhat pretty and had hot tempers, they were sent here by Bazhu and Shentu took a fancy to them. He respected their opinions and let them choose beast husbands. Naturally, they preferred strong men and were willing to stay with Shentu."

"So that's it."

Su Xiyao nodded lightly and asked, "Why did you tell me these things?"

"Even though you're deliberately hiding it, I can see that you're not a female who would accommodate a male. You want to leave here, and I don't want you to stay with Shentu, so I'm telling you all this!"

Hong Ling laughed at herself, "Or, just think of me as a form of self-salvation. I don't want you to end up like me, staying here until you're despised."

"Okay, I will."

Su Xiyao smiled slightly. She would certainly not follow in their footsteps.

Seeing Hong Ling preparing to leave, Su Xiyao pretended to ask casually, "Besides me, have any other females been sent to Chengfeng Castle recently?"

"Of course there are. Due to the recent natural disasters, other continents have been busy, and the star-level monsters have taken this opportunity to capture females. They've probably caught quite a few, and some of them are uncooperative. They'll all be sent here to be tamed before being auctioned off."

"Are they being held here?"

"I'm not sure about that. After all, I've never been imprisoned! I also advise you not to do anything that would make Shentu unhappy under his nose. Otherwise, you will not end well."

Hong Ling looked at her meaningfully, gave her some advice, then turned around and left without looking back.

After nightfall, Chengfeng Castle was quiet and silent.

Su Xiyao quietly slipped out of the house. There were patrolling guards passing by from time to time outside.

"There are so many houses here, where exactly is Sasha being held captive?"

As Su Xiyao walked, she felt a little unrecognizable.

The houses here are all very similar, pitch black, with no lights to be seen and no sounds to be heard from inside.

"Jinbao, use the tracking potion."

Su Xiyao would not run around aimlessly. After exchanging for the tracking potion, road signs immediately appeared on the ground.

Follow the signs and it will eventually disappear in front of a bungalow.

The house didn't even have a window, the door was locked, and there was no one guarding it.

Perhaps he couldn't imagine that there would be anyone in Chengfeng Castle to come to the rescue.

"It's just a lock!"

Su Xiyao raised her hand and touched the simple chain, which immediately turned into petals and scattered directly on the ground.

creak!

Su Xiyao pushed the door open and walked in. The even breathing sounds inside became uneasy.

"Who?"

There was a sound like a frightened small animal, followed by a rustling sound. A figure cautiously crawled up from the corner and looked at her warily. The burning little eyes could ignite anyone.

"Sasha?"

Su Xiyao shouted, and the figure froze.

"Yao Yao?"

Sasha shouted in disbelief, "Is it really you?"

"Of course it is me!"

Su Xiyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her voice, "Finally I found you."

"Woooooooo..."

After confirming it was her, Sasha rushed over impatiently and threw herself into Su Xiyao's arms, crying, "I'm so scared here. The star-level monsters here are so rude and not gentle at all. I thought I was going to be sold, but they threw me into such a desolate place. Wuuuuu... I'm about to collapse. Fortunately, you are here, Yaoyao..."

"Burp...that's not right!"

While crying, Sasha burped loudly. She stared at Su Xiyao with tearful eyes and asked, "Yaoyao, why are you here too? Could it be that you were also captured?"

"I guess so. There are still quite a few females that have been captured. I've already let them go. I came here specifically to find you. I want to take you home."

Su Xiyao held her hand and said firmly, "But the situation is special now. The security here is very tight. I need to observe for another two days. Be careful and wait for me to pick you up."

"Okay, okay, Yaoyao, I feel much more at ease now that you are here!"

Sasha's uneasy heart calmed down, and she talked to Su Xiyao for a long time before reluctantly letting her go.

After closing the door, Su Xiyao put the petals back on the door latch and it returned to its original appearance.

Just as she was about to go back the same way, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind her, covered her mouth with one hand, and dragged her into the darkness.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking here? What do you want to do? You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
