"I see."

Hearing Su Wu's explanation, Liu Dashan's eyes suddenly lit up with realization.

"This guy does indeed have an old grudge against your father from back then."

"Back when he first came here, he worked under your father."

"Your father treated him well, and in just six months, he promoted him from a scavenger to a prison guard."

"But after he was promoted to jailer, he used his position to secretly accept money and do favors for the prisoners."

"Later, your father found out and gave him several large slaps in front of everyone, and also deducted half a year's salary. That's how the two of them became enemies."

After listening to Liu Dashan's explanation, Su Wu finally understood the intricacies of the situation.

"So that's how it is."

"No wonder that guy treated me like that."

"What are you muttering about? What are you talking about?" Hearing Su Wu's mutterings, Liu Dashan tilted his ear and looked at Su Wu with some doubt.

Su Wu smiled and waved his hand.

"It's nothing, Uncle Liu."

"I'm just guessing."

Hearing Su Wu's answer, Liu Dashan nodded slightly and patted Su Wu on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about Su, kid. Li Hong is at Ding's place; we won't run into him!"

"Just focus on delivering your meals."

As they spoke, the two arrived at Wu Shier's cell.

Just like Su Wu's experience in his previous life, when he was about to enter the prison, Liu Dashan was called away and left alone for Su Wu to deliver food to the prison.

Su Wu was already used to this scene.

This time, however, he made a point of looking around before entering the cell.

Then he noticed that in the distance, in the passageway, there seemed to be a prison guard patrolling the next area watching him from the shadows, occasionally glancing in his direction.

"It seems that the fox demon's escape from its shackles is inextricably linked to Chen Duo and Wu Er."

"This time when I go in, I want to prove this to the fox demon!"

Thinking of this, Su Wu pushed open the door and entered the prison cell of Wu Twelve.

"Hey bro~"

Seeing Su Wu's handsome appearance as he entered, the fox demon's eyes lit up.

However, to her surprise, Su Wu greeted her with a smile and looked at her in a generous manner.

"Miss."

"We meet again."

"Again?" The fox demon was taken aback by Su Wu's question.

But before she could speak, Su Wu spoke first.

"Fox demon, stop testing me. I know your shackles have been broken and your cultivation has been restored. You're just about to find someone to absorb your true yang energy to escape."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the fox demon's pupils contracted, and she squinted at Su Wu.

"You knew that, so why did you come?"

"You look unfamiliar to me, and you don't seem to have any cultivation whatsoever. You must be a newcomer to the Demon Suppression Prison, right?"

"Aren't you afraid of eating it?"

Faced with the fox demon's doubts, Su Wu remained calm.

"I'm not afraid. Since I've come here, I'm prepared to die."

"Anyway, I won't live much longer. Being able to taste the flavor of a fox demon before I die is enough to make my life worthwhile."

"Oh, so you're quite ambitious." Upon hearing Su Wu's reply, the fox demon stretched out her tail and pulled Su Wu to her side, speaking with a fawning smile.

"Since you wish to be a philanderer, then I shall grant your wish."

But before the fox demon could finish speaking, Su Wu interrupted her.

"I can grant your wish, but I don't want to die without knowing why."

"I want to know, was my coming here something you and Chen Duo planned all along?"

Looking at Su Wu's handsome face, the fox demon happily stretched out her slender hand and slid it down his cheek to his chin, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Since you want to know, I might as well tell you."

"Your coming here is indeed a deal I made with Chen Duo."

"He promised me that he would choose a time when most of the prison guards would be transferred out, and ask Wu Er to help me remove my shackles in advance, and then send a new person over for me to absorb true yang to restore my vitality."

"As for whether I can escape, that depends on my own abilities."

Listening to the six-tailed fox demon's explanation, Su Wu roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter in his mind.

"So it really was Chen Duo who set it up."

"No wonder he was so concerned and insisted on testing him."

"It seems that the bull demon breaking the seal in the Ding-class prison might be part of Chen Duo and Wu Er's plan to silence me."

As for Li Hong, Su Wu was still unsure whether it was at the behest of Chen Duo and his group, or whether Li Hong was acting out of personal grudge.

Before he could finish thinking, the fox demon's face was already close to Su Wu's.

"Alright, handsome young man, now that you know everything, you can leave in peace."

Faced with the fox demon's spells, Su Wu was not afraid at all. He hugged the fox demon tightly and even began to try to circulate his qi and blood in the same way that his meridians had when he broke through to the first level of body tempering in his previous life.

The fox demon realized something, but her body was already weak, and she couldn't withstand Su Wu's counter-absorption after activating the technique of absorbing her essence.

Then Su Wu was surprised to find that, under his deliberate guidance, the fox demon true yin that he had absorbed into his body was able to activate the power of qi and blood in his body during the gap when his pores were wide open!

Originally, I should have been able to break through the first level of Body Tempering through time, but I broke through it directly by using the True Yin I absorbed from the fox demon!

A moment later, Su Wu kicked away the fox demon he had drained, and looked at his hands with satisfaction.

"So this is how true yin can be used."

"I've reached the first level of Body Tempering! That feels amazing!"

In his previous life, he completely wasted the true yin he absorbed from the fox demon, and even after it completely dissipated, he still hadn't figured out how to use it.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to harvest essence, he is stealing the fox demon's true yin for his own use.

"It seems that I can use this method to increase my cultivation level whenever I encounter such an opportunity in the future."

Su Wu, who was already familiar with the fox demon's dying curse and threats, didn't even glance at them, and got up to tidy his appearance.

Then came Liu Dashan's shock at Su Wu's actions as he rushed into the prison.

Then came the arrival of Chen Duo and Wu Er.

Su Wu naturally handled this familiar situation with ease.

Because of the experience, he performed even better than in his previous life.

This almost convinced Chen Duo and the others that Su Wu had indeed been unknowingly sacrificed by the fox demon.

"Alright, you can leave now."

Having failed to get any answers from their inquiries, Chen Duo and his group called Su Wu and the others out, and as usual, asked Su Wu to write a report to be submitted to him the next day.

Su Wu naturally showed utmost respect to Chen Duo's instructions, and then turned and left the prison cell of Wu Twelve together with Liu Dashan.

But the moment he left the cell, Su Wu's expression darkened.

Although he had outwardly evaded Chen Duo's questioning, Su Wu, having lived through his previous life, knew in his heart that given Chen Duo's suspicious nature, he would absolutely not let him go.

"In this life, I must find a way to break this deadlock again!"
