Chapter 125: Escape from the Underworld Prison
Before leaving home, Yun Jiao had already informed her ancestral master—and even made lunch before she left. She had figured, no matter what happened, she’d be back before dark. No one could have expected she would accidentally fall into the Underworld instead.
Given how much of a foodie her master was, he would definitely realize something was wrong by dinner. Since last time he had managed to sense her when she was trapped in the Demon Realm, he should be able to locate her in the Underworld as well.
Well… probably?
Yun Jiao decided that staying put and waiting was the safest option. And as a loyal admirer, Captain Jiao also thought following Yun Jiao’s lead was the safest plan. So both of them chose to stay still—much to Xi Teng’s (the scarred man’s) frustration.
“Hey! You two, can’t you have a little sense of danger?” Xi Teng glared at them. “Do you think this prison is some cozy retreat? You’re only being held here for now. Once the ghost judge returns, having your souls scattered will be the best-case outcome!”
Yun Jiao blinked, then asked calmly, “When will the ghost judge return?”
He snorted, giving them a look that clearly said, Now you’re scared, huh?
“Hmph, by noon tomorrow at the latest. The ghost judge of this city will be back by then.”
“Oh,” Yun Jiao said evenly. “Then we’ve got time.”
