Chapter 2154: Deep in the Tiger’s Den!
At this moment, Zhou Yu didn’t even know what had happened.But the next moment, the void around him was rapidly pulling him.
Zhou Yu’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately fully utilized his Demonic Qi to protect himself securely.
In the blink of an eye, the void stabilized.
However, before Zhou Yu could understand the surrounding environment, he heard a hoarse voice.
"Hello, young friend!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yu suddenly turned around to look.
Behind him appeared a figure cloaked in a large cape.
Beside him was the serpent-headed, human-bodied Demon he had fought with that day.
In addition to this, there were seven or eight other Demons surrounding him, all with unusual auras.
Immediately, Zhou Yu discovered that he was no longer on the first floor.
Instead, he appeared in a completely unfamiliar environment.
This place seemed to be a great hall.
But in the hall, besides a high platform and a piece of Jade Bi, it was empty.
Zhou Yu’s face became extremely grim.
Only now did he realize that the weird vortex from earlier must have been a Teleportation Array.
It seems he had been transported to the lair of these Demons.
And the figure cloaked in the large cape, without a doubt, must be the ’Madam’ mentioned by the serpent-headed, human-bodied Demon!
Indeed, the woman spoke.
"Young friend, no need to panic."
"This is my refuge, very safe."
"I invited you here without your consent, I hope you don’t mind."
Zhou Yu secretly grimaced.
Mind?
What could he do about it?
This woman’s Cultivation was clearly more than a notch above his.
However, the positive thing was that the woman didn’t seem to have the intention to attack at the moment.
This could be his chance.
"Who are you, senior?"
"What is this place?"
Zhou Yu asked.
The woman chuckled.
"People call me Mrs. Mu."
"You can also call me Madam."
"As for this place, as I mentioned earlier, it is my refuge."
Saying this, Mrs. Mu addressed her subordinate:
"Serve Spiritual Wine to our young friend."
"Yes, Madam."
One of the Demons immediately turned and left.
Mrs. Mu looked at Zhou Yu and smiled.
"Young friend, please sit."
Zhou Yu reluctantly sat down.
A moment later, the Demon returned with two copper cups.
Placing one each before Zhou Yu and Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Mu raised her cup with a smile:
"Young friend, this is Spiritual Wine I personally brewed. Please take a taste."
Zhou Yu picked up the cup, glanced at it, and his face changed immediately.
Not to mention he was skilled in Alchemy, even a person unknowledgeable in Alchemy could tell this wine was absolutely filled with poison.
The wine appeared black and emitted a strong, pungent smell.
Just smelling it made him feel dizzy, let alone drinking it.
Who knows what would happen after drinking it?
At that moment, Mrs. Mu’s voice sounded.
"Young friend, don’t worry."
"This Sanglin Wine is brewed from seventy-two unique poisonous herbs from the Black Soul Abyss."
"Although brewed from poisonous herbs, the interaction between the various poisons actually transforms it into a rare Spiritual Wine."
"Even my close subordinates don’t have the privilege to enjoy this wine."
"Today, it is specifically prepared to entertain you."
After saying this, Mrs. Mu smiled slightly and took a sip of her wine.
After drinking, her face showed a look of enjoyment.
At this moment, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment.
With this woman’s Cultivation, she wouldn’t need to resort to poison to harm him.
And he just carefully sensed it again, the wine really wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and drank a small sip from the wine cup.
As the wine entered his mouth, Zhou Yu immediately felt a cold ice-like chill.
However, as the wine passed his throat, that chill quickly transformed into warmth.
When the wine entered his body, the warmth had turned into heat.
It transformed into streams of heat flowing towards his limbs.
For a moment, Zhou Yu felt a unprecedented sense of relaxation throughout his body.
Moreover, he felt his Primordial Spirit seemed somewhat stronger.
Of course, this change was minimal.
But, one must know that anything capable of strengthening the Primordial Spirit is priceless.
Unexpectedly, such an unassuming cup of toxic wine had such heaven-defying effects.
It was simply unbelievable.
Despite being astounded, Zhou Yu was not overwhelmed by the wine’s preciousness.
He placed the cup down and looked at Mrs. Mu.
"Thank you Madam for the wine, it is indeed top-tier."
"However, junior would like to ask, why did Madam invite me here?"
Upon hearing this.
Mrs. Mu smiled slightly.
"Young friend, don’t panic."
"I mean no harm."
"I invited you because there is an important matter needing your assistance."
"Oh?"
"What matter?"
Zhou Yu’s heart stirred, asking.
Mrs. Mu chuckled:
"Don’t rush, it’s not the time yet."
"When the time comes, I’ll naturally inform you."
"Just bear with staying here for a few days."
"By the way, what is young friend’s name?"
Zhou Yu replied helplessly, "Junior Zhou Yu!"
Mrs. Mu chuckled.
"So it’s Mr. Zhou."
"Then please go ahead and rest for now."
"You may freely move around here, but don’t go too far, for there are many dangerous places around."
Mrs. Mu looked at Zhou Yu with a half-smile.
Despite her gentle tone, Zhou Yu sensed the hidden threat behind it.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath.
"Yes, Madam."
Mrs. Mu smiled and instructed one of her subordinates to escort Zhou Yu out of the hall.
After Zhou Yu left, the serpent-headed, human-bodied Demon couldn’t help but ask:
"Madam, why are you treating him so politely?"
"Why not just incapacitate him, take his Nascent Soul, and give him to Ghost Master, thereby fulfilling your agreement?"
However, Mrs. Mu shook her head.
She showed a deep and meaningful smile.
"Before, I indeed thought so."
"But now, I’ve changed my mind."
"Madam?"
"Why?"
The serpent-headed, human-bodied Demon asked, puzzled.
"This person has greater value for me."
"If utilized properly, it will increase my chance of victory by thirty percent."
Upon hearing this, the serpent-headed, human-bodied Demon showed surprise.
"Madam, is this true?"
"Naturally."
"So, in the coming days, keep an eye on him, don’t let anything unexpected happen, and especially don’t let Ghost Master find out."
"Yes, Madam!"
The Demon immediately retreated.
