Chapter 1962 - Caught

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

They only cared about their reason for being here and not their identities, yelling about killing them the moment they arrived. Yan Ya and the others were solemn. It seemed like it would be hard for them to escape today.

He exchanged glances with Fei Yi. If it really reached that point, they would focus on escaping first and talk about the rest later. As long as they could hide for two to three days, the wounds on their bodies would be able to heal and they could think about escaping.

Sima You Yue looked at them. She was thinking of waiting for them to start attacking before calling out her people. Her thoughts were similar to those of Yan Ya and Fei Yi, she would solve the current situation before all else. They could think about what would happen later, later.

“Wait.” The man who sat in the middle raised his hand and stopped the other two. He said, “All of them are heavily injured. We don’t have to rush into killing them.”

Sima You Yue and the others sighed. As long as not everyone wanted to kill them, they had a chance to talk.

“Brother Ni, no matter whether or not these people are injured, it’s strange that they have suddenly appeared here. We should not let them off.”

“I never said that we should let them off.” Zhou Ni said, “But all of them are injured, so who injured them? Where are the people who injured them? If they have hidden away, at the very least, we can obtain some information about them from these people.”

“Brother Ni is right. We can’t kill these people so carelessly. We should at least find out the situation.” Someone agreed.

Sima You Yue and Yan Ya exchanged glances. They had the same thought, nobody was to speak.

“These people seem to be heavily injured. It seems like they’re going to lose their consciousness and won’t be able to speak. Are we going to take them back with us?”

“Mm. Let’s take them back and lock them up.” Zhou Ni instructed.

“Lock them in jail, don’t let them escape!”

White-necked ape walked up and grabbed one in each hand. Their palms were almost as wide as a human was tall, and it enveloped the entire person. The good thing was that Zhou Ni instructed them to be careful not to kill them. Only then did they not grab them so tightly.

“Let’s go, let’s go back to the clan.” Zhou Ni instructed, and the white-necked ape turned around and headed back.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were initially hugging, so the white-necked ape grabbed both of them in one hand when it grabbed them. Wu Lingyu protected her when the white-necked ape grabbed them so that she wouldn’t be injured by the white-necked ape’s strength.

“We’re going to the clan just like this?” He transmitted his voice to her.

“It wouldn’t be good for us to fight now. We might as well rest for two days. We can also use the time to understand more about the situation. Otherwise, if we just run away like this, we’d be like a headless snake.” Sima You Yue replied.

Even if they went to their clan, once they had recovered, they might be able to escape. In any case, their situation wouldn’t be any worse than it was now.

“But we’ll be in a prison cell.” Wu Lingyu’s heart ached because she was injured but still had to be in a place like that.

“That’s no problem. With you around, all places are the same to me.”

Her words filled Wu Lingyu’s heart with sweetness and he couldn’t help but hug her a little tighter.

“Eh?” The white-necked ape that was holding onto them felt some movement in its hand and lowered its head to take a look, but there was nothing.

Yan Ya and Fei Yi were held in the hands of another white-necked ape. They opened their eyes and happened to see each other.

“Resign ourselves to fate?”

“Let’s not move for the time being.”

After looking into each other’s eyes, they immediately decided what to do. However, going to jail was something that they had never done before.

It felt like they had walked for a very long time. They swung and swayed, and everything was a blur. Since they were also heavily injured, they couldn’t help but fall unconscious. It was Wu Lingyu and Huan who were a little healthier and stayed conscious the entire journey.

“Young Master, Young Miss, didn’t you say that you were going out to visit? Why have you returned so quickly?” Someone asked.

“We saw a few intruders when we weren’t too far from here. That’s why we captured them.”

“Intruders? Then why did you not kill them directly but capture them instead?”

“They suffered similar injuries, so we wanted to capture them to interrogate them to see whether or not others had come where.” Zhou Ni explained, “Get a few men to come and lock them in our large prison cell.”

“Understood.”

...

Their voices woke Sima You Yue up. However, she did not open her eyes. She could sense that people had come over to take them from the white-necked ape’s hands. Then, each person carried one of them to the prison cell and left after locking them up in two houses.

“Bang-”

The main door closed and the five of them opened their eyes at the same time. After sensing that nobody was around them, they sat up.

“This prison cell is rather large.” Sima You yue saw that there were only four houses. They were so clean that they felt like houses people lived in. It didn’t feel like a prison cell at all.

“Seeing how disappointed you are, it seems that this environment isn’t enough for you?” Yan Ya teased her.

“A little disappointed. I thought that I would really be able to feel what it was like to be a prisoner.” Sima You Yue was truly disappointed.

“In a place like this, those intruders who are discovered are usually killed on the spot. Why would they lock them up? This place is probably used to lock up those clan members as punishment.” Fei Yi said.

It was probably because they had a higher level of respect for Sima You Yue than before, but Fei Yi spoke more than he did before. However, Sima You Yue did not know this. Instead, it was Yan Ya who looked at him pointedly.

“We can use this time to recover.” Yan Ya said, “But… why is your pill so effective for us from the Soul Clan?”

Although these pills were for healing, they were different for the Ghost Clan and Soul Clan. it was obvious that the pills she had given them were for the Soul Clan members.

So why did she possess pills that could treat those from the Soul Clan?

“Just eat whatever I’ve given you. Why are you asking so many questions?” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him as she lay back in Wu Lingyu’s embrace to rest.

It was a good thing that Wu Lingyu had pulled on her and he was already very close to the exit, so the amount of damage he received was less and his wounds were less serious. Right now, he could be her support.

Yan Ya and Fei Yi were very curious. She was the Young Princess of the Ghost Clan but she had pills that could treat those from the Soul Clan. it was strange no matter how they thought about it. Suddenly, they recalled that she used to be from the Human Clan, but they could not detect a single trace of her human aura anymore.

“Could it be that you possess a soul body?!”

Yan Ya and Fei Yi were shocked by this guess. The Young Princess of the Ghost Clan actually possessed a soul body. It was equivalent to her being part of the Soul Clan. Just how shocking would it be if they spread this piece of news?

“So what? It’s fine as long as Grandfather doesn’t mind.” Sima You Yue did not deny it. “If I said that I was part of the Soul Clan, would Qing Hun dare to admit it?”

“That’s true.”

“Your wounds are so serious. Don’t talk anymore, you should rest well.” Wu Lingyu hugged her and the both of them focused on healing.

Huan took the initiative to ignore how they were twined around each other as he sat cross legged to focus on healing. Yan Ya and Fei Yi stopped talking as well as they did the same.

These people would not come to treat them, but they probably would not come to interrupt them either for the next two days. Based on how they saw it, they were so heavily injured that they wouldn’t wake for two to three days, so it would be pointless to look for them during this period of time.

Because they guessed that others were around as well, they would probably use these two days to search for these nonexistent people.

As for them, these two days were their window of opportunity!
