Chapter 252: Desperate Situation and Sole Comfort

"Hmm?"

Not just Jiang Feng and the sisters Yao Yue Lingxing, but even Wei Wuya was taken aback.

"Someone's blasting through the mountain?"

"Who could it be?"

The group exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of the identity of the mysterious person, but regardless, it was a welcome sign for Jiang Feng and his companions. Hope already sparkled in Lingxing's eyes.

However...

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter." Wei Wuya's voice carried over from the adjacent room, betraying not a hint of concern. "My sealing stone is a good seven feet thick. Even if they're breaking through stone, it'll take them at least twenty days to reach us, if not a full month. But... "

Wei Wuya cackled, "Can you last for twenty days?"

Twenty days was an impossibility. Without food or water, any ordinary person would perish within five to seven days. Even with Jiang Feng and the Yao Yue sisters' exceptional martial arts skills, they wouldn't be able to hold out for more than fifteen days.

By the time anyone reached them, they would likely be long dead.

"Hahaha..."

Wei Wuya couldn't contain his laughter. "I'll wait here and watch you being tortured! I want to see how you'll change when you can't take it anymore. Will you become miserable? Insane, perhaps? Will you end up eating each other's flesh and drinking each other's blood, since there's a chance of rescue from outside? Maybe if you kill one of you, the other can survive until the end?"

Yao Yue and Lingxing's faces turned deathly pale as they imagined the scenario Wei Wuya painted. They felt nauseous and terrified at the same time.

Yao Yue remained silent, but Lingxing couldn't help but retort, "Even if I take my own life, I'll never let you have your way!"

Wei Wuya chuckled. "Even if you do, I'll still get what I want. After all, corpses have their uses too."

Lingxing's pupils constricted, and she involuntarily took a step back. But Jiang Feng reached out and held her hand, reassuring her, "Don't worry, he's just trying to scare us. I can get us out of here, and we can take him down at the same time."

Lingxing's heart eased slightly, but Wei Wuya's laughter boomed, echoing like a night owl from the small opening, carrying an air of creepiness and terror, "He can get you out? Hahaha, what a joke! Even I can't get you out of here now!"

Lingxing's heart sank to the bottom of a pit, and Yao Yue's figure swayed as if she might collapse. In this situation, Wei Wuya had no reason to deceive them, which meant they truly had no way out.

"I... I'm sorry," Yao Yue whispered.

She never thought she would utter an apology in her lifetime, but at this moment, she felt that these three words could never make up for her mistake.

Even in such dire circumstances, Lingxing couldn't help but glance at Yao Yue in surprise, taken aback by her usually dominant sister's apology. She gently squeezed Jiang Feng's hand.

"It's alright," Jiang Feng shook his head. "It's normal to want to take down someone as despicable as Wei Wuya quickly. And don't worry, my mechanism techniques are pretty good. We'll definitely find a way out."

Yao Yue shook her head, managing a sad smile before Wei Wuya's laughter interrupted again, "Mechanism techniques? Hahaha, so what if you have mechanism techniques? Can they move a stone weighing several thousand pounds?"

Yao Yue and Lingxing's hearts plummeted.

They didn't know how proficient Jiang Feng was with his mechanism techniques, but they understood that techniques were just that—techniques. Against a stone of such immense weight, even the most advanced techniques would be futile.

Jiang Feng was merely trying to comfort them and ease their guilt.

But his words only made them feel worse.

If they hadn't been so arrogant and overconfident, they wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you won't even last ten days. What are you thinking about now? Any last words or wishes?"

"Hahaha, yes, I am dreaming!" Wei Wuya laughed maniacally. "I dream of you kneeling before me and begging for mercy, but unfortunately, your souls are already tainted. Now, all I want is to watch you die!"

Jiang Feng shook his head and smiled, "Then you're truly dreaming. We won't die, not even if you perish. We will survive."

Yao Yue and Lingxing couldn't help but glance at Jiang Feng, surprised that he could still smile in such a situation. His unwavering spirit earned their admiration.

"I didn't think the famous Jiang Feng would be all talk and no action," Wei Wuya sneered.

"Haven't you already experienced my capabilities?" Jiang Feng countered with a smile.

"But I'm not the least bit angry," Wei Wuya snickered. "Back in the beginning of the year, you couldn't force me out then, and you think you can now?"

In the original story, Xiao Yu'er forced Wei Wuya out by exploiting his two decades of pent-up resentment and desires. But at this moment, Jiang Feng wasn't confident that he could provoke Wei Wuya in the same way.

However, it didn't matter. Jiang Feng's mechanism techniques surpassed those of Wei Wuya. Although he might not be able to move the massive stone blocking the entrance, he was certain he could handle the stone door before them.

This stone door couldn't possibly be one-way. If it led to the core of Wei Wuya's cave's mechanism, then surely Wei Wuya wouldn't leave it open while he was outside.

So, while he bantered with Wei Wuya, Jiang Feng's eyes carefully examined the stone door and its surroundings.

However, he wouldn't reveal his plans prematurely and risk alerting Wei Wuya, who might then seal the door from the other side. Neither Wei Wuya nor Yao Yue and Lingxing knew what Jiang Feng was thinking.

Thus, Wei Wuya didn't believe for a second that they could escape, and Yao Yue and Lingxing felt they had reached a desperate situation.

"You won't come out, no matter what?"

"Of course not," Wei Wuya replied with a smile. "No matter what you say or do, I won't come out. On the contrary, if there's anything you want to do, feel free to tell me, and perhaps I'll even fulfill your wishes."

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, "For example...?"

"For example," Wei Wuya's laughter turned eerie, "I might give you a few bottles of heshou wine. Don't you want to experience the pleasures of the flesh before you die?"

As his words echoed, a hole suddenly opened in the ceiling of the main hall, and three bottles fell. Jiang Feng caught them and pulled out the cork, realizing it was fine bamboo leaf green wine.

"Hehehe..." Wei Wuya chuckled, "You're going to die soon anyway, so why not get married and consummate your union here? I'll be your witness."

Jiang Feng held the wine, speechless, "You have such hobbies?"

He had thought Wei Wuya's perversions had developed over his twenty years of isolation, but it seemed this depravity had always been a part of him.

Wei Wuya grinned maliciously, "The feeling of revenge will be so much sweeter if the newlyweds die in their bridal chamber. Of course, you can choose not to, but wouldn't that be a pity?"

Hearing Wei Wuya's twisted and cruel words, even Yao Yue and Lingxing felt a chill run through their bodies. They couldn't believe there existed such a devilish person who could drive them to a dead end step by step with such blatant schemes.

Because he was right; at this point, the only thing left for them to wish for before their deaths was perhaps to marry Jiang Feng.
