There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and took the Ring of Penetration off the wall next to her.

The prison was very poorly guarded, and there was no one patrolling it at all.

Only at mealtimes do demons deliver food; logically, no one should come at that time.

Moreover, judging from the footsteps, the person coming seemed to be wearing high heels.

"female?"

Just as Lu Qing was wondering, a demon wearing dark red high heels came to Lu Qing's cell door.

The demon had long, blood-red hair and wore a dark red cheongsam coat. White downy hair was exposed on both sides of its neck, and a patch of snow-white skin was exposed from its chest.

Atop his head were a pair of curled goat horns, and his dark purple vertical pupils had a patrolling air about them. He stared at Lu Qing for a few moments, making Lu Qing feel extremely uncomfortable.

Instinctively, Lu Qing clutched her chest and took two steps back. She looked at the demon before her and asked warily:

"who are you?"

The demon didn't speak. She stared at Lu Qing's dirty clothes, then at the skin on her wrists that was chafed red by the chains, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"You, wash her clean and change her clothes. Those two things on her hands and feet are too ugly. Replace them with high-grade collars, and then take her to my room!" The demon said, turning his head to the other side.

"Yes!"

Two women's voices rang out, and then the cell door was opened. Two maids dressed in dark gothic dresses walked in and stood on either side of Lu Qing.

"Miss, please come with us." The two men said at the same time.

Just as Lu Qing was about to speak, a voice came from beside her ear.

"Is this adorable crow yours?"

The demon, who had been standing at the door, had somehow appeared beside Vayne.

She extended her slender fingers, her long nails slowly moving across Wayne's body.

"When?"

Lu Qing was startled. The other person appeared next to Wayne so quickly that Lu Qing had no idea how she did it.

"Is it just because it's fast?" Lu Qing wondered to herself.

"Get your nails off me, you're interrupting my reading!" Wayne said, glancing at the demon with his scarlet eyes.

"???"

Lu Qing's heart tightened. She stared wide-eyed at Wayne, never expecting him to dare provoke her at this time.

"How dare you?!" Lu Qing roared inwardly.

However, she didn't say anything on the surface. Perhaps, perhaps Wayne is actually very strong and not afraid of this female demon at all?

After all, Lu Qing hadn't really looked into Wayne's strength. Ever since she was captured by the cabin, Wayne seemed to have been used by her as a scout.

However, to Lu Qing's surprise, the female demon didn't get angry when she heard Wayne's words. Instead, she chuckled softly and leaned closer to Wayne, saying:

"Reading a book? Can I see what you're reading?"

The soft, seductive female voice made Lu Qing's bones feel weak, but Wayne didn't react at all. He stretched out his wings to cover the female demon's eyes and quickly put away the books on the table.

"Uh, this reaction..."

Lu Qing was very familiar with Wayne's actions. Once upon a time, she had also leaned over to look at what Wayne was looking at out of curiosity.

However, each time, it was thwarted by Wayne's tactics.

Lu Qing could understand his behavior; it was like how she herself didn't want others to see her reading novels in her past life.

In short, it's very embarrassing...

Walking briskly to Wayne's side, Lu Qing pulled him into her arms, gave the female demon a dry laugh, and said:

“Vin is my pet, and I hope you can forgive his rudeness to you.”

As she spoke, she cursed inwardly:

"That stinky bird, I have to swallow my pride and protect you!"

Holding Wayne's hand, Lu Qing gently stroked Wayne's head. Looking at the female demon in front of her, Lu Qing felt a little scared.

According to the plot, the Demon King should want her to live, so he wouldn't kill her.

However, besides killing someone directly, there are many other ways to harm a person, and Lu Qing wasn't sure if she would be alright.

Suddenly, the female demon, who was being stared at by Lu Qing, chuckled softly, and then said:

"I won't get angry over such a small thing. Do I look that scary?"

"No, your appearance isn't scary, but your strength makes me fearful!" Lu Qing thought to herself.

Seeing Lu Qing remain silent, the female demon shook her head, then slowly walked out of the cell. Before leaving, she said to the two maids she had brought with her:

"Don't forget my instructions, take them to my room."

After speaking, the other person disappeared. The two maids bowed respectfully in the direction she had vanished and said:

"Yes!"

After saying that, the two of them walked up to Lu Qing and said:

"Please come with us, miss!"

After speaking, seemingly because the mistress was no longer by their side, the two of them released a powerful aura in order to intimidate Lu Qing.

Lu Qing felt that if her hands and feet weren't bound and she had all the props, she should be able to take down one of them if she put in all her effort.

However, she has no chance of winning against two opponents at once, especially since her hands and feet are currently restrained and she has no props on her.

After thinking it over, Lu Qing nodded obediently and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chapter 89: Too poor, not good

Fighting is out of the question. We can just follow the plot, why would we need to fight?

Lu Qing followed the two maids out of the cell with a clear conscience.

On the way, when passing by the Ice Demon Beast's room, Lu Qing nodded to it as a greeting.

The Ice Beast didn't say anything after seeing this, but silently created an ice hand, shook it, and said goodbye.

Curious, Lu Qing looked at the cells on both sides and saw many of the creatures that had made the sounds that accompanied her dance on the first night.

A python, a giant rabbit, a plant that makes a "purring" sound...

Anything Lu Qing could think of, these cells contained.

After walking to the end of the prison, Lu Qing followed two maids up the stairs, then through a long corridor, and finally arrived at a large door.

Instead of leaving through the main gate, the two maids led Lu Qing into a small hut next to the gate.

A maid stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door's unlocked," a deep voice said from inside the room.

"Creak..."

The iron gate was pushed open, and Lu Qing followed the two maids inside. She immediately saw a... well, a human crocodile wearing round-rimmed glasses.

Lu Qing couldn't help but stare blankly. A crocodile that walks upright might not seem like much, but when this crocodile, which clearly had a ferocious appearance, put on refined glasses, everything became so incongruous.

Entering the room, the crocodile held a document in his hand, seemingly reading some file, and said without looking up:

“Senaar has already spoken to me, you can just take her away.”

As he spoke, the crocodile took out a small key and a dark red ring from the drawer beneath him, saying:

"This is the key to the chain, and the collar is the latest women's model. Hmm... this thing might be more comfortable to wear and is suitable for 'guests' to use."

Crocodile deliberately spoke the word "guest" slowly. The two maids nodded without saying anything. One picked up the key, while the other picked up the collar.

The maid who picked up the key inserted it into the lock of the chain, while another maid half-squatted down and slowly fastened the collar around Lu Qing's neck.

"What's the purpose of this collar?" Lu Qing asked, feeling the cool leather texture around her neck.

"This collar is useless to you because it prevents the wearer from using any extraordinary means, turning them into a mortal. After all, you are a mortal, or rather, an ordinary half-elf," the crocodile beside him suddenly said.

“I think it’s a waste to use this on you. That guy Senar didn’t even pay me. I’m losing out big time.”

"Hehe, it's really a shame to waste your time on me," Lu Qing thought to herself, speechless.

Thinking this, the chains on Lu Qing's wrists and ankles were removed, giving her a feeling of immediate relief.

After all, these two things are quite heavy, and carrying them around for so many days has really taken a toll on my physical strength.

Moreover, the comfort level was very poor. Even with Lu Qing's current attributes, the area where she was handcuffed was still worn with red marks, and it was somewhat painful to touch.

"Master has considered this carefully," the maid who had put the collar on Lu Qing said as she stood up.

"I understand, you can leave now, I still have work to do." The crocodile waved his hand casually.

"Goodbye."

The two maids bowed slightly to the crocodile, then led Lu Qing out of the room.

Just after the two maids left the room, the crocodile clenched his right fist and slammed it hard against the wall next to him.

"Boom!"

A protruding stone brick on the wall was immediately driven in, and the next moment, the entire wall shook, and the huge stone gate outside the prison slowly rose.

The slightly glaring sunlight shone down from outside the stone gate. Lu Qing subconsciously squinted and shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand. She walked past the two maids and stepped outside the prison.

What came into view was a street where all sorts of demons walked around at will. Some were crimson red, some resembled dwarfs, but most were ordinary demons with light purple skin and ram's horns.

The street was just below the prison gate, with a very long staircase in the middle. Lu Qing was currently at the very top of the staircase.

Just then, Wei Yin, who was in Lu Qing's arms, suddenly struggled, flew out of her arms, and then stood on her shoulder.

"It's so hot!" Wayne complained.

"It is a bit hot..." Lu Qing thought to herself.

The high temperature in the prison during the day is not without reason; after all, the weather outside the prison is indeed very hot, and the sunlight makes one feel like they are being burned.
