Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 143 The Eastern Prince's Mansion Cellar

Shui Ruoxin looks very much like Shui Yun, and her appearance and figure are no less than Feng Qingwu's.

Shui Yun had a very dignified expression, while Shui Ruoxin was more spoiled than Feng Qingwu, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

Before Zi Dong could get up, Feng Qingwu leaped up, grabbed Elder Feng Li, and rushed out of the tavern before Shui Yun and Shui Ruoxin.

She was actually outshone by a demon woman, in terms of looks, figure, and aura—how could she possibly tolerate it?!
Shuiyun and Shui Ruoxin were stunned and stopped at the door, turning around to look at Zidong who was walking towards them.

"My friend is rather impatient," Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu casually explained, ignoring the mother and daughter.

Just as he stepped out of the tavern, Zi Dong suddenly remembered something, turned back to the mother and daughter, and said:

"Could you please settle the bill for the food and drinks?"

"Lord City Lord, no need to pay, no need to pay, let me treat you!" the tavern owner, who was hiding to the side, quickly shouted.

"This little bit of silver is something I can afford!" Shui Ruoxin said angrily, taking out a silver ingot from her storage ring and throwing it directly onto the table where Zi Dong and the other three had just sat.

"Boss, this is a full ten taels!" After the mother and daughter walked out of the tavern and were far away, the waiter carefully walked over, picked up the silver, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Put it away for now, and return it to the City Lord as soon as someone from the City Lord's Mansion arrives!"

The tavern owner quickly ran over, snatched the silver, carefully tucked it into his pocket, and then said nervously.

The so-called City Lord's Mansion was actually Elder Feng Li's Eastern King's Mansion, which was converted into the City Lord's Mansion after being occupied by Shui Yun.

The former City Lord's Mansion, which was opposite the East King's Mansion, has now become the Princess's Mansion. Since she has not yet been married, Ai Shang is temporarily confined to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Elder Feng Li saw the Eastern King's Mansion guarded by the Water Demon Clan cultivators, her face darkened to the point of being visibly grim.

Under the protection of the guards, Shuiyun and Shui Ruoxin were the first to enter the current city lord's mansion.

Zi Dong and his companions followed leisurely behind, showing no fear despite being surrounded by the Water Demon Clan's guards.

The Water Demon Clan cultivators were all puzzled. Where did these four people get their courage? There were more than 50,000 Water Demon Clan cultivators in Tianshui City.

Moreover, among the four, there was only one Supreme Realm expert and two minor cultivators at the Heavenly Profound Realm.

The East Prince's Mansion is a three-courtyard complex. Passing through the small courtyard where the guards and servants lived, there was a large garden.

Without saying a word, Shuiyun, accompanied by two guards, headed directly towards the two-story building deep in the garden.

"Let's go!" Shui Ruoxin waved to Zi Dong and the other three without even turning her head, and headed straight for the large pond in the center of the garden.

"They've locked Ai Shang in the cellar!" Elder Feng Li exclaimed in surprise.

"What's in the cellar?!" Zi Dong frowned. Ai Shang was being held captive.

"The cellar is full of vegetables, and lots of ice," Elder Fengli said helplessly.

"That's the Ice Prison!" Zi Dong shouted angrily, then strode towards Shui Ruoxin.

"This is outrageous! This is blatant bride kidnapping!" Feng Qingwu shouted loudly on purpose, trying to provoke Zi Dong.

"Shui Ruoxin, where is Ai Shang?!" Zi Dong caught up and shouted.

"In the cellar at the bottom of the pond." Shui Ruoxin stopped and casually pointed to the pond.

"Why did you lock him up there?!" Zi Dong was furious and really wanted to punch Shui Ruoxin.

“He’s been trying to escape. What else can we do but lock him in the cellar?!” Shui Ruoxin looked at Zi Dong strangely.

"You're forcing me!" Zi Dong almost roared, his eyes blazing with anger.

“Yes!” Shui Ruo said matter-of-factly, “We demons are forced to marry!”

"You?!" Zi Dong's finger trembled as he pointed at Shui Ruoxin; he truly couldn't refute it. "What she said is true," Elder Feng Li said with a wry smile. "Let's see Ai Shang first."

Shui Ruoxin walked slowly to the edge of the pond, gently touched the ground with her foot, and a dark passage immediately opened.

"Shui Ruoxin, how did you discover the cellar?!" Elder Fengli immediately asked.

The cellar is controlled by an array, making it difficult for outsiders to discover, especially since the demons do not understand arrays.

"The servants of the Eastern Prince's Mansion told me!" Shui Ruoxin proudly raised her small face to Elder Feng Li, and then walked down the passage.

"Hmph!" Elder Feng Li snorted coldly, glancing back at the servants' courtyard, wishing she could kill them immediately.

"Aunt Li, how could the servants of the Eastern King's Mansion have sided with the Demon Clan?!" Feng Qingwu asked curiously.

"Alas, the demon race faces the problem of reproduction, and the human race of the Western Continent faces the same problem."

Elder Feng Li sighed helplessly, "The Great Xia Dynasty has many descendants of demons and humans, known as the Human-Demon Clan. Almost all the servants in my manor are Human-Demons, and they have no sense of belonging to the human race at all!"

"Let's go." Feng Qingwu still wanted to learn more about the human-demon race, and Zhou Xinyu urged her as Zi Dong walked down the passage.

The passage extended deep into the pond, and even with Elder Feng Li's cultivation level, it was not visible to the naked eye.

The four of them could only rely on their senses to follow Shui Ruoxin up the steps, one by one, as the damp atmosphere grew stronger and stronger.

The rotten smell of cabbage, radish, and potato mingled with the damp air, and a foul, fishy odor permeated the air even after being frozen.

"Elder Fengli, this cellar is so unclean!" Zi Dong covered his nose and couldn't help but complain.

"I have my servants cleaning every day, but I doubt they've ever cleaned it since it was taken over by the Water Demons!"

Elder Feng Li deliberately raised her voice so that Shui Ruoxin in front could hear her, saying that the demons were all slovenly ghosts.

"The servants here were all left by you, and they say you told them to clean every ten days!"

Shui Ruoxin immediately stopped and turned around to angrily rebuke Elder Feng Li.

"So, it seems I'm still in charge here?!" Elder Feng Li looked at Shui Ruoxin with a cold smile.

"Princess of the Water Demon Clan, where is Ai Shang?!" Zi Dong asked quickly, not wanting to hear Shui Ruoxin and Elder Feng Li arguing.

"It's right down there!" Shui Ruoxin shouted impatiently and continued walking down.

Finally, we reached the top of the steps, where wisps of icy light emanated from all around.

Amidst the haphazard arrangement of various vegetables, there was a wooden bed where Ai Shang was fast asleep.

At each end of the wooden bed sat a Water Demon Clan cultivator, both at the Breaking Void Realm, enough to keep an eye on Ai Shang, who was at the Heavenly Profound Realm.

"Aishang, are you really going to become the son-in-law of the Water Demon Clan?!" Zi Dong walked up to the wooden bed and immediately shouted.

"Ah?!" Ai Shang exclaimed in surprise, leaping out of bed and tumbling off. She then clasped her hands in a fist and pleaded with Zi Dong as if seeing a long-lost relative:

"Lord of the city, you've finally arrived! It was the Water Demon Clan who forcibly captured me and forced me to get married!"

“Princess of the Water Demon Clan, marriages among humans are all voluntary. Since Ai Shang disagrees, then I will take him away!”

Zi Dong turned around and glanced at the calm and composed Shui Ruoxin, waved to Ai Shang, and immediately started to walk up.

"Hmph, Tianshui City is now the territory of my Water Demon Clan. It's not a place where anyone can come and go as they please!"

Shui Ruoxin snorted coldly and stood directly in front of Zi Dong. The two cultivators guarding Ai Shang immediately rushed towards Ai Shang.
