Chapter 296.2: I Just Wanted Some Fresh Air, Not to Escape

Qing Yu immediately thought that it was rather funny. This little fella would have lived for more than ten thousand years at least, but his mind was still so much like a little child.

“Since you’re so powerful, then you can help me with something now.”

Upon saying that, Qing Yu drew a finger lightly over her palm, and a tiny cut appeared on her hand, where a drop of bright red blood quickly beaded.

The little creature’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mistress, why did you do that?”

“Here. Swallow it.” Qing Yu then said, extending her palm forward.

But her actions caused the little creature whose face was already filled with shock to scuttle away and hide in a corner in terror.

“Mistress, I’ve realized what I’ve done wrong.....”

“What wrong have you done?” Qing Yu raised an eyebrow quizzically.

“Everything I’ve done is wrong. Can you not punish me.....” The little creature glanced at the droplet of blood on her palm, his lips pursed up in horror.

Qing Yu was taken aback by his reaction, but then suddenly recalled that though her blood was extremely good for many things, it could be highly lethal to some demonic creatures at times. For instance, the blood that flowed in her when she was greatly enraged, would hold some kind of highly destructive power, and anyone who touched it would die.

Qing Yu could not help but laugh out loud, and the expression on her face softened slightly. “Don’t worry. I only want you..... to break a hole through the ceiling above me.”

As she spoke, she raised her other hand up and pointed above her head.

Hearing that, the little creature instinctively lifted his head up. When it dawned on him and he understood what she wanted, he immediately blew out a breath of relief before he went on to say: “I will not need Mistress to waste her blood for such a small task. I can handle that on my own.”

He then prepared himself to make his move immediately after saying that.

Qing Yu suddenly called out to stop him. “You will have only one shot at this, or it will alert the people out there. I need you to succeed the very first time so I would rather that you are fully prepared.”

Upon saying that, she then extended her palm forward again. “My blood has already been shed anyway, so swallow it quick. You will not be able to get a taste of my blood at any other time so easily.”

Seeing that, the Earth Fire Devil Vine could only do as he was told and he stuck his tiny sharp tongue out to lick the drop of blood into his mouth.

The next moment, two tiny flames seemed to ignite and light up his scarlet red eyes and he actually transformed into his true form.

A dark red vine as thick as a grown man’s waist rose right up from the water, surrounded by countless tentacles filled with hooked thorns everywhere, shooting straight up as it grew, like it was reaching for the clouds.

In that dim and narrow prison cell, fragmented light rays suddenly shone in, lighting up that small little area.

The corners of Qing Yu’s lips rose up, as she conjured a protective barrier around her body, to block the broken rock and dust falling from above. Her long upslanted phoenix like eyes lit up, carrying a bright mischievous glint.
