I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 274 Obedient Dog
Shrine.

Ziwu Pavilion.

This is the very center of the entire chicken coop, a huge spherical building floating in the boundless starry sky.

The space surrounding the building seems to rotate clockwise around the entire Meridian Pavilion, as if the stars are shifting.

At the center of the Meridian Pavilion, Shi Sheng, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a crown, sat cross-legged with her eyes closed at the central point of the meridian.

Behind her, three pairs, six pairs of pure white and broad angel wings were crossed and perched like arms.

Tiny specks of light scattered into the night sky through the gaps in her lush feathers.

Everything around was changing and in motion, except for Shi Sheng, who remained unchanged.

It's this unchanging nature...

A sense of mystery, holiness, and grandeur emanated from her.

Beneath her, or rather beneath the Meridian Pavilion, beneath the entire starry sky, lies the Divine Palace's enormous observatory.

On the star-gazing platform, there were countless gluttonous ghosts, also sitting cross-legged on the ground and wearing blue robes.

Their placement resembles a star map in the sky.

Each of the gluttonous ghosts had an extremely serious expression.

Like feeling something.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Sheng slowly opened her eyes.

Her wings slowly unfurled, lifting her into the air.

"Disperse. Everyone, please continue with your duties during this period."

"What follows is crucial for both of us."

Her ethereal voice came through.

The numerous blue-robed gluttons below nodded and respectfully withdrew.

In the end, only a black-robed gluttonous ghost remained hidden in the shadows behind Shi Sheng.

"Attribution, have you found her?"

After everyone had left, Shi Sheng walked barefoot down the void, as if stepping on invisible stairs.

Guiyin knelt respectfully on the ground and devoutly kissed Shisheng's toes.

Shi Sheng nodded before she stood up.

"We've just located her."

"Although it has disappeared again now, it won't be too far off."

Guiyin said, head bowed.

"Then let's send a few people."

"Don't make too much noise. People need to live; there's no point in living."

Like a kind elder, Shi Sheng raised her hand and gently patted Gui Yin's black robe.

Her movement caused all of Guiyin's muscles to tense up.

"Attribution, I've heard that you guys seem to be secretly up to something?"

Shi Sheng asked quietly.

The three pairs of wings behind it fluttered gently.

goodong...

A sense of oppression, as if it came from his bloodline and was written into his soul, made Guiyin's heart beat rapidly.

"...Yes, it's to deal with those traitors who betrayed their mother."

His lips trembled, and he lowered his head even further.

"Hmph, you guys are quite considerate, does Yu Yu know that?"

Shi Sheng snorted coldly.

Attribution, on the other hand, suddenly knelt down on the ground!
“She…she knew, she…she knew.”

Guiyin said through gritted teeth.

Yu Yu was the angel who entered the temple from outside the chicken coop last year, before Shi Sheng.

This is how the shrine communicates with the outside world and with the mother.

Since the chicken coop was established, every year an angel has entered the temple at the mother's request.

They are responsible for maintaining and observing the operation of the chicken coop inside the house.

However, the chicken coop should only be maintained and observed, and its natural or random development should not be interfered with.

"Yu Yu knows? What did she say?"

Shi Sheng's expression changed for a moment.

She said...we did a good job.

"Well done? Heh..."

This answer made Shi Sheng's face instantly darken, and then she let out a cold snort.

"Since she thinks she's doing a good job, then from now on, stop doing it."

"As long as I'm here, you'll stop for one day, understand?"

Shi Sheng and Yu Yu spoke in a competitive manner.

Guiyin, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded tremblingly.

Large beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

What made him so stiff and fearful was not just Shi Sheng's oppressive aura.

It was Yu Yu's order...

Yu Yu had given him orders, or rather, Yu Yu had given orders to everyone.

Don't stop.

Do not stop “creating” gluttons that can harm angels.

Although this plan was not proposed by Yu Yu, and although Yu Yu seemed unaware of it at first.

But Yu Yu became extremely interested in the plan.

With Yu Yu's support, the entire project made great progress throughout the past year.

Currently, the gluttonous ghosts they have modified are comparable in combat power to two-winged angels.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Remember to bring him back to me alive."

"Also, don't make a big commotion."

Looking at Gui Yin kneeling on the ground, Shi Sheng's face also showed a hint of disgust.

"clear."

Attribution, on the other hand, brought a sense of relief.

After kneeling and retreating dozens of meters, he dared to stand up and then quickly left Ziwu Pavilion.

"call……"

After turning a corner and completely out of Shi Sheng's sight, Gui Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a chill run down his spine.

Although each angel exudes an aura of power and is extremely difficult to fathom.

But Shi Sheng was the most difficult angel to serve among all those who entered the chicken coop and took up residence in the temple.

Because she was constantly competing with Yu Yu.

She became a six-winged angel five years earlier than Yu Yu.

But now, Yu Yu has eight wings behind him and has become the most trusted person by his mother's side.

He is second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

As for Shi Sheng, he has remained stagnant for many years.

This underlying resentment and rivalry led Shi Sheng to vent her nameless anger on these gluttons.

So, Shi Sheng spent a year at the Shrine...

"Ugh……"

Guiyin sighed with a wry smile.

"grown ups."

Outside the Ziwu Pavilion, several gluttonous ghosts dressed in blue robes were already waiting.

"Go and find two people to bring Si Que back alive."

"And then... what happened to Gu Xingxin? How did she react to the [epidemic]?"

Guiyin asked, rubbing his temples.

Gu Xingxin is currently the strongest and most compatible among the gluttonous ghosts they have modified.

Their combat power has reached the level of a four-winged angel.

The most unexpected reason why Gu Xingxin was able to pull through was that she personally took charge of the surgery.

This kind of transformation is a form of torture, akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death, for both the gluttonous ghost's body and mind.

But Gu Xingxin seemed to have some kind of faith that transcended the physical body and even the soul, and she persevered.

"My lord, it has been more than ten hours, and it can be basically confirmed that the [epidemic] is ineffective against Gu Xingxin."

The blue-robed gluttonous ghost said with a delighted expression.

"Well, that's expected."

Attribution nodded.

"Sir, what about the hair modification at the back..."

"Let's postpone it for a week. I'll come in person after a week."

Attribution waved his hand.

Even without Yu Yu's orders, he still wanted to carry out the entire transformation plan.

After all, there's a feeling that a storm is brewing.

They're like chickens in a coop, those gluttons... they need to have some backup plans...

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Just as Guiyin was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

A young girl, dressed in a grey robe and appearing to have just finished work, was walking in the opposite direction from him towards the Meridian Pavilion. "My lord, it was... the angel... who sent me..."

The girl immediately knelt on the ground and said.

"...It's you..."

Attribution squinted.

After seeing the girl's face clearly, he sighed and nodded.

The girl bit her lip in fear and nervousness.

"Go."

A hint of sympathy appeared on Guiyin's face.

The girl's name was Liao Xi, and she was the lowest-ranking being in the Divine Palace.

She was essentially a maid with no human rights.

Normally, they are only responsible for cleaning, and they are even forbidden to speak, let alone see an angel.

but……

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

During a cleaning of the Ziwu Pavilion, Liao Xi accidentally bumped into Shi Sheng.

After that incident, Liao Xi basically became Shi Sheng's "exclusive maid".

This is not a good job...

After all, Shi Sheng's temper... is the most unpredictable...

"You...be careful."

Out of sympathy, I simply attributed it to him.

"Thank you, sir."

Liao Xi lowered her eyes.

A look of pain and sorrow appeared on his face.

He then dared not say much, and walked quickly into the Ziwu Pavilion with his head down.

"Owner."

Upon entering the Meridian Pavilion and seeing Shi Sheng standing gracefully, gazing at the stars, Liao Xi quickly closed the door and knelt on the ground.

His body trembled with fear.

"..."

Looking at her, Shi Sheng's elegant and perfect face revealed an indescribable expression.

My breathing seemed to become hot and rapid.

"Now it's just the two of us alone."

As if hinting at something, Shi Sheng walked up to Liao Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said something.

But Liao Xi remained kneeling with her head bowed.

"Liao Xi, now it's just the two of us."

Shi Sheng spoke again.

The six pairs of wings behind it fluttered gently.

There was a faint hint of...pleading in the voice?
"Owner."

Liao Xi then spoke again, seemingly urging him on.

goodong...

The word "master" instantly flushed Shi Sheng's face.

"I said, only when it's just the two of us..."

"You are my master, and I am your maid..."

Shi Sheng looked at Liao Xi, her breathing extremely rapid, as if she were longing for something.

Liao Xi finally raised her head.

But he just turned his head to the side and stared at Shi Sheng without saying a word.

The tension, fear, and apprehension on her face slowly disappeared.

Instead, a force...

It was a calm, composed, and... questioning quality that only those in positions of power would display.

"Gudong..."

That look, that aura, made Shi Sheng's body tremble violently.

She swallowed hard, her lips trembling.

"Owner."

With sacred wings behind it, it is called an angel, the highest-ranking being in the entire chicken coop...

At this moment, he actually spoke to Liao Xi, who was dressed in gray.

"What should I do when I see my master?"

Liao Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up.

"You lowly slave! What will you do when you see your master?!"

Seeing that Shi Sheng remained unmoved, Liao Xi shouted sharply!
A stern, angry voice echoed continuously in the empty Meridian Pavilion.

Shi Sheng, in fact, was just like the lowest-ranking maid being scolded by her master, and knelt down on the ground with a thud in great fear!

Six wings clung tightly to her back, the tips of their feathers dragging on the ground.

"Owner."

She lay half-prostrate on the ground, crying out again as if she had done something wrong.

Liao Xi then nodded in satisfaction.

She then sat down in the center of the Meridian Pavilion on the stool that resembled a pair of wings, symbolizing supreme power in the entire chicken coop.

After comfortably leaning back in her chair, Liao Xi crossed her legs.

"You lowly slave, get over here right now!"

She looked down at the angel prostrate on the ground and said.

"It's the master."

This command made Shi Sheng tremble again.

Without any dignity, it crawled as fast as a dog to Liao Xi's feet.

His face showed a twisted excitement and flush.

It was as if they were anticipating Liao Xi's next instructions.

"Good dog."

Liao Xi patted Shi Sheng's head.

She then bent down and took off the black, round-toed flat leather shoes that only a lowly maid like herself was entitled to wear in the shrine.

The black-stockinged feet, which had been imprisoned for a day, were then exposed to the sacred air of the Meridian Pavilion.

She spent the whole day accompanying the gray-robed maid, running around the entire shrine and cleaning various places.

Therefore, the black threads on her toes appeared slightly damp and their color was darker.

Even in the slightly chilly air, a faint white mist was rising.

"Gudong..."

Shi Sheng, who was crawling on the ground, showed obvious disgust and revulsion on her face when she saw this scene.

But his body subconsciously swallowed.

Liao Xi saw this and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

As if by accident, he nudged Shi Sheng's face with his foot again.

But he immediately lowered his head respectfully, feigning fear.

"Master, if you need to rest..."

"You are the master!"

Shi Sheng swallowed the saliva that had inexplicably welled up inside her, and suddenly raised her head and said!

The uncomfortable expression on his face instantly transformed into a twisted sense of pleasure under Liao Xi's faintly mocking and disdainful gaze.

"But the expression you just made doesn't seem like something a proper maid should make to her master."

"Your current behavior is not what a qualified maid should be like."

"If you want to continue being a high and mighty angel, then let's end things here as soon as possible."

Liao Xi crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair with her legs crossed, and pointed at her dark, gritty toes, saying jokingly.

"No! Please, Master, don't abandon me!"

Shi Sheng's eyes widened, and she spoke in a trembling voice!

What's so great about angels who are high above you?

With wings spread across her back, she will be revered by thousands!

Only now, kneeling on the ground, can she experience the pleasure of being ordered around, humiliated, and having no need to make decisions!

Only in this way could she feel that she was still human... still a lowly human, still the human who hadn't sacrificed everything...

"You wretched dog, hurry up and bring it to your master!"

Liao Xi's expression hardened!
She took off her black stockings and threw them far away.

"Use your mouth!"

Seeing that Shi Sheng actually wanted to take it with her hands, Liao Xi also snorted coldly.

"Gudong..."

This instruction made Shi Sheng swallow hard again.

Then he lowered his head, picked up the toe of the sock with his mouth, and crawled to Liao Xi's feet.

"Okay, good dog, good dog."

"Now, tell your master about your angels' plans."

"How exactly do you intend to kill Mother?"
