Chapter 4795: Admiration

Feng Chen couldn't help but feel a faint trace of worry in his eyes as he thought of his and Mo Lian's predicament.

This was certainly not the time to gloat or mock others, as they were both unlucky souls, currently stuck in the Sacrificial Sea Abyss and unable to get out.

Shen Wu's eyes flashed with anxiety. "Are we going to be like this for the rest of our lives, unable to get out?"

"Of course not," Mo Lian said with a cold voice, walking forward.

Shen Wu was startled, then quickly said, "Your Excellency, are you returning to the City of Sin? If we don't have a foolproof countermeasure, it's best not to go back yet."

"The City of Sin currently has over two hundred citizens. Besides the fifty-plus aboriginals, the remaining people are also not to be trifled with."

"The slaves are currently being sent to work in the caves. Their Great Overlord, Jisi, has a wild idea of transforming the caves into a sleeping chamber..."

Mo Lian stopped and turned to look at Shen Wu. "You stay here for now."

"Since you gentlemen aren't familiar with the City of Sin, if you insist on going, I'll lead you through a shortcut. It might help us go unnoticed."

"After all, I've escaped from the City of Sin five or six times, so I'm quite familiar with some of the complex tunnels," Shen Wu said with a wry smile, nodding to Mo Lian and the others.

Feng Chen looked at him, then carefully asked, "From what that guard just said, did that Great Overlord capture you to be her consort?"

It seemed this guy was fiercely resisting, true to his vows...

Shen Wu's handsome face slightly flushed with embarrassment. He quickly said, "I, I am already betrothed. Of course, I cannot betray my, my fiancée. Although, although we have never met. The marriage was, was arranged by my family. But, but I thought, since I am already betrothed, then, then I am her fiancé, and I must be loyal to her."

Mo Lian's eyes lit up. He stepped forward, patted Shen Wu's shoulder, and showed an admiring expression. "You are very good."

Shen Wu was inexplicably admired by Crown Prince Mo...

Although he didn't understand where this admiration came from, hearing the esteemed gentleman tell him, "I will take you out," inexplicably gave him a feeling of having found a powerful backer.

His mood suddenly brightened significantly, as if this promise from the esteemed gentleman would surely be fulfilled.

Feng Chen gave Crown Prince Mo a particularly speechless glance, then turned to exchange looks with the human-snake, who was still bewildered and clueless about the situation.

"Zuo Lanshan, how are you being suppressed now?"

"Probably, about fifty percent suppressed," the human-snake honestly replied.

Feng Chen inwardly cursed, "Damn it!" This human-snake was indeed cunning. No wonder he was so flattering and eager to befriend them when they first encountered him in the tunnel.

He even repeatedly stated that the reason he attacked them before was because he had been secretly poisoned with a berserk drug.

This guy was originally suppressed to half his strength, instantly recognized the reality, and quickly pretended to be a glutton, playing nice in front of them.

He and Mo Lian were probably suppressed by thirty percent of their strength. If they had teamed up, they definitely could have beaten the human-snake like a drowned dog!

Damn it, these two were so smart, yet they were fooled by this old ghost.

The human-snake secretly glanced at Feng Chen, his "old face" looking a bit awkward. "Don't misunderstand, I didn't make peace with you because I was afraid. I... this old man just thought that we two young ones don't have any deep-seated hatred."
