Chapter 5738: Extra - Feng Chen: Illusion of the Punishment Tower
"Big brother, someone's trying to kill me, please help me!"
It's an illusion, yet why does it feel so real?
Especially when he looked down and saw a familiar poker face.
The little one hugged his long leg, looked up and acted cute, "Big brother, big brother? Did you hear me, big brother?"
Feng Chen: ...
This is an illusion!
It's a trial of the Punishment Tower.
Feng Chen took a deep breath, secretly reminding himself.
"There they are, chase them! Over there." Several vicious voices called out.
Feng Chen looked up and saw more than a dozen people armed with clubs surrounding them, instantly encircling them.
Each of them glared viciously at the little girl clinging to his leg, their eyes showing a hint of malice.
"Big brother, quickly save me. They're all trying to kill me." The little poker face anxiously hid behind him, only peeking out her small head from beside his leg.
Feng Chen instinctively wanted to step aside and let these people do their thing.
But the little girl kept holding onto his leg, refusing to let go. He couldn't just kick away someone who looked so much like Qiao Qiao, could he?
Would that be too cruel?
While he hesitated, several vicious individuals had already attacked them.
Feng Chen instinctively threw out several wood spirit attacks, hitting them in the face.
What exactly is this testing?
He pondered, then saw the little girl scramble up from the ground and grin up at him.
Feng Chen looked at her impassively.
His Qiao wouldn't show such a foolish, goofy smile.
Feng Chen later learned that this world was a pre-set scenario.
Picking up a little princess who was wandering the streets, being chased.
Taking her back, raising her, helping her defeat her ambitious siblings.
Cultivating and supporting her to ascend to the throne of the little queen.
A series of events unfolded logically.
As Feng Chen completed the tasks, he couldn't help but inwardly grumble: If my Qiao were here, those siblings wouldn't be jumping around so recklessly.
Relatives, aren't they just for his Qiao to eliminate?
This little queen is too weak.
So this was an illusion array testing one's desire for power.
If he succumbed, he would eventually kill this puppet little queen and ascend to the throne himself, wouldn't he?
The little queen stepped over the high threshold and walked towards him again.
Tsk, only her face looks similar, everything else is just not like her.
And this, she still thinks she can confuse him? Is she underestimating him too much?
Yes, according to the plot, the little queen should now be waddling towards him on her chubby little legs...
"Thump." Looking at the little girl in front of him, trembling and submissive, pitifully speaking of abdication and yielding to the wise.
Feng Chen couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
"Stand up!"
The little queen trembled.
"I told you to stand up, did you hear me?"
The little queen trembled as she got up, clutching a nearby stool, barely managing to keep herself from falling.
Feng Chen: ...
Not at all like his Qiao.
If it were his Qiao, even at a young age, she would be fearless of anything.
How could his Qiao girl ever submit to anyone?
The time in this illusion array passed for three years.
But in reality, Feng Chen was very clear that only three days had passed.
Let's just end this. The more I look, the less she resembles my Qiao Qiao. How boring...
Brushing his sleeves, the scene before him shifted to a palace filled with fragrant mist.
He stepped in and immediately saw groups of three to five women, each with Qiao Qiao's small face, rushing towards him in droves.
The creator of this talisman array really knows how to grasp people's desires.
Always likes to conjure up what others desire most in their hearts.
Feng Chen smiled as he was pulled into the main hall by the groups of women.
The women giggled, shaking the thin veils in their hands as they moved closer to him.
Suddenly, Feng Chen extended a wooden vine whip from his hand, and with a swish, he swept one of the women away.
The person cried out in surprise, then transformed into a wisp of ethereal mist, instantly vanishing from his sight.
I wonder how Mo Lian is doing?
These few illusion trials shouldn't affect him much, but...
This dog-like illusion array creator always likes to conjure up a bunch of Qiao Qiaos to test him, it's truly maddening.
I really want to kill this illusion array creator.
If he didn't have such good self-control and strong willpower, how could he bear to strike such a ruthless blow?
Watching Qiao Qiao's small faces vanish in terror one by one before him, Feng Chen pursed his lips, his eyes deep as he looked straight ahead.
The illusory realm disappeared.
He appeared inside the Punishment Tower, glancing at Mo Lian, who had also arrived.
"Oh, you changed clothes," he said with ill intent. "What did you see in the third stage just now?"
"Didn't see anything," Mo Lian replied expressionlessly.
"Impossible," Feng Chen snorted. "Look, you even changed clothes. You definitely couldn't hold back just now, could you?"
"I'll definitely tell the little one later."
Mo Lian glanced at him. "Bad guys who looked like Qiao Qiao ripped it. I ripped it when I was hitting and throwing her."
Feng Chen: ...
This talisman array creator is so fantastical, they can actually conjure up the person they most want to see.
...
A long, long time ago.
"Xuan Huang, Xuan Huang, quickly think for me. I've built a super big tower specifically for imprisoning criminals. I've set up all the layers of mechanisms, but I always feel like something is missing."
"Can you help me think of a way to create a grand array? One that tests and traps people?"
"Just leave this to my apprentice." Xuan Huang extended a hand and embraced the child diligently drawing talismans behind the desk, bringing them closer.
The old Heavenly Dao master's eyes lit up. He rushed over and hugged the child, shaking them vigorously. "Child, child, if you help Grandpa create a super grand talisman array to trap those escaped rascals, Grandpa will never send divine lightning to strike you again after you achieve righteousness. How about it?"
Several days later.
"Daughter, daughter, how is it?"
"I've made you a fantastical grand array. As long as you step into it, you'll undergo three trials: wealth, power, and lust. If you can't get out, you'll be trapped in it forever."
"The eye of the array is my appearance. Only by passing my test can you exit the illusion array."
The old Heavenly Dao master nodded with a smile. "Daughter, you are so talented at such a young age. From now on, you are my true daughter."
Xuan Huang: ???
Wasn't it "Grandpa" just a few days ago?
Damn, you lowered your seniority in less than two days...
Is it really okay for you to be such a lickspittle?
Qiao Qiao rested her chin in her hand, sitting by the small pond in her own courtyard.
She conjured a golden talisman in the void and pushed it out expressionlessly.
Thunderstorm Talisman!
"Open!"
If the old Heavenly Dao master doesn't keep his promise in the future and tries to strike me, I'll strike back fiercely!!
...
A hundred years passed.
One day, Mo Lian, Feng Chen, and others accidentally learned that the creator of the Punishment Tower's illusion array was actually their Qiao.
Their expressions were like this: (⊙o⊙)... My goodness, we were really put through the wringer by you...
