Michel sat quietly in the chair, feeling uncomfortable all over. The reason for the discomfort was the sight behind the glass.
She was in a room made of glass. There were no signs of any magic inscriptions on the surface of the glass, which made Michelle want to break the glass and escape.
But the view from outside the glass made her feel a little creepy.
The sight came from a girl with black hair and red eyes. Her hand was resting on the surface of the glass, and her red eyes were looking straight at Michel.
That look was not the kind of curiosity that one would get when watching monkeys in a zoo, but rather the look of a ferocious beast that has locked onto its prey, waiting for an opportunity to pounce and kill.
Do people in this country have the custom of cannibalism? Michaux really didn't understand what was going on with the look in the girl's eyes.
"Is she really the first princess of the Far South Empire?" Elena stared at Michel for a long time before asking Nancy who was standing beside her.
"The first princess, Michelepshina, I met her once before. I heard from Lucheng that she was the source of the blood crystal beasts in the Far South Empire." Nancy glanced at the movement of Elena putting her hand on the glass and couldn't help but remind her, "I know you are very angry, but this princess is not your captive, but from Lucheng... or the Celestial Empire. Our authority here is limited to observing her."
Whether she is the princess of an enemy country or the culprit of the blood crystal beast, Nancy has every reason to be hostile to this woman. Scarlett was almost completely destroyed by the blood crystal beast in the past. Nancy thinks it is natural for Elena to feel angry.
"Angry? I'm not angry. I just feel a little..." Elena paused for a moment and found a more appropriate way to describe it, "a little hungry."
"Hungry? Elena, didn't you just have lunch?"
Nancy came to this ecological park with Elena from the cafeteria in the Special Zone City. Elena's appetite has been increasing recently, like a person who has been hungry for too long and wants to make up for the food she didn't finish eating in the past all at once.
Today, Nancy specifically counted the bowls of rice on Elena's table, and there were exactly fifty.
Nancy heard that there was a type of restaurant on Earth called a buffet. With Elena's current appetite, she would probably eat out all the food in any buffet and bankrupt the owner.
"I don't know, I'm just a little hungry. Just now I saw her swallowing saliva. Is this a normal reaction?" The expression on Elena's face looked very innocent.
"It's definitely not normal!"
Nancy actually knew about some changes that had taken place in Elena's body after she went to Earth. Afterwards, Lu Cheng took her to do a lot of examinations, and the DNA test showed some abnormalities.
It is impossible for scales to appear on the surface of normal human skin, which makes Nancy wonder if Elena might be a human-dragon hybrid. If so, it seems normal for her to treat humans as food.
That is to say…
"Elena, do you feel hungry when you look at me?" Nancy recalled this horrifying incident.
"No, maybe it's because I don't like eating fatty meat?" Elena shook her head.
"Fat... Fat? I'm not fat!"
Nancy was stimulated by Elena's words, which was far more terrifying than Elena's appetite for her.
Just as Nancy was blushing and refuting Elena's truth, she suddenly felt someone gently pulling the flesh on her waist. Nancy lowered her head and found that Noy had come to her side without her knowing when.
"Extra fat." Two almost ruthless words were written in Noy's notebook.
"This... this is a sign of health!"
Nancy's face turned completely red at this moment. When Xiu Enzhe came to the kingdom, she was still very slim, but her body was too weak.
During the time Nancy lived in the Special Zone City, she was nourished by various Chinese cuisines and her physical weakness gradually improved, but she gained a lot of fat.
"Charlotte is younger than you." Noy wrote down another sentence in his notebook, which made Nancy a little upset.
Michelle looked at the girls outside the door making a lot of noise. She couldn't hear the sounds outside as she was sitting in the glass house, but she could understand some of the lip reading.
Judging from the lip reading interpreted by Michaux, Elena and Nancy were indeed discussing the issue of cannibalism.
At this moment, an emotion called fear appeared in Michel's heart for the first time in a long time, and continued to permeate in Michel's heart.
Coming to this strange environment already made her feel uneasy. No matter how strong Michelle's mind was, she would still feel a little uneasy knowing that she might be dismembered and eaten in the next second.
This uneasiness continued until Michel saw two familiar faces appear outside the glass house.
The first one was Lu Cheng, and the second one directly made Mi Xiu stand up from the chair he was sitting on.
"Mother?" Michel shouted in surprise, but the sound in the glass house could not be transmitted to the outside world.
"Lord Lu Cheng, did you imprison her?"
The Shadow Sage saw that Mishu, who was sitting in the glass house, had a slightly moved expression on her face, but as the head of the intelligence department of the Secret Order, she quickly controlled her emotions and started negotiating with Lu Cheng.
"It can't be said to be imprisonment, it can only be considered a restriction of movement. Her presence is extremely dangerous to any of us present here," Lu Cheng said.
"Dangerous? Her current magic level is only the fourth level. If this is considered dangerous... I'm afraid we are in even greater danger." The Shadow Sage seemed to be able to control her emotions, but she was still a little anxious when she saw her daughter being imprisoned like this, so that the words she said were a little ill-considered.
"She has mastered the ability to control the blood crystal beast. She carries blood stains on her body. She can even be said to be the host of the blood crystal beast. Now... do you understand?"
After Lu Cheng informed the Shadow Sage of this, he signaled the person in charge of monitoring the glass room to turn on the microphone for communication between the two parties.
"Blood Crystal Beast?! Can you let me in and talk to her alone?" The Shadow Sage's voice was a little distorted when he heard the three words "Blood Crystal Beast".
Lu Cheng did not make any statement. From the information Lu Cheng knew so far, the method of controlling the Blood Crystal Beast came from the Secret Society.
Bayerwok also shared with the Heavenly Kingdom the method of controlling the Blood Crystal Beast. The specific steps were to first introduce the blood stains into one's own body, allowing oneself to become a part of the Blood Crystal Beast.
This is a method that has the potential to destroy humanity, and the Shadow Sage must be aware of this.
It's not a good experience to have your own daughter turned into a monster.
"She can hear you even if you talk here." Lu Cheng had to regard Mi Xiu as a humanoid blood crystal beast, which meant that if she was cruel enough, she could treat any spellcaster as food.
"I promise nothing will happen. There are some things I must discuss with her face to face. Lord Lu Cheng, please!"
The Shadow Sage performed a solemn wizard salute to Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng had a brief discussion with the researchers from the ecological park. After confirming the follow-up response to the problem, he agreed to the Shadow Sage's request.
So, under the gaze of everyone, the sage walked into the glass house with his staff and stood face to face with his daughter.
"Mother." Mi Xiu was very... moved when she saw the Shadow Sage appear. The joyful expression on her face was completely different from the feeling when Lu Cheng communicated with her.
When Lu Cheng met her for the first time, Princess Mixiu left him with the impression of being a stubborn person who would say, "Even if you kill me, I will not obey you."
But in front of her biological mother, the princess still revealed her side as a little girl.
But the Sage of Shadow did not greet her as a mother. Instead, she slapped her unfilial daughter.
Wow.
This is what Lu Cheng felt when he saw this scene...
"Do you want to stop it?" Dr. Ji Chuan asked Lu Cheng in a low voice.
"It's a family ethics drama, let's take a look at it first." Lu Cheng thought the scene in front of him was quite interesting. If there weren't a lot of people watching nearby, Lu Cheng would probably just take out some melon seeds and watch it while eating them.
After Princess Mishu was slapped by the Shadow Sage, she instantly recovered from the joy of finding someone to rely on in a foreign place. She covered her flushed cheeks and looked at the Shadow Sage in disbelief, with an expression of surprise that said, "Even my father has never hit me."
