For more than a month, most of the food given by the elves was dry and hard steamed buns and water melted from snow. But today, there were some fruits, and the water was replaced with fruit wine that tasted good. (The elves were vegetarians. They did not eat magic beasts or wild beast meat, so fruits were their main food source, supplemented by some staple foods.)
"Their Elf Queen's birthday is celebrated for three days in a row. It's the same every year at this time." Ye Xia could be considered a ten-year veteran, so she was very familiar with some of the daily activities of the elves.
While speaking, the masked female prisoner had already taken her food and wine. Ye Xia also took her food and wine. She also enjoyed a big mouthful of elven fruit wine.
The elves were the first race to learn the art of brewing in recorded history, so their fruit wine tasted very good even if it was for prisoners.
"What are the activities for the Queen's birthday?" Yun Sheng asked very casually.
"The food will be more sumptuous. On the day of the Queen's birthday, the elves have to bathe and pray. During that time, there are almost no people in the ice prison." When Ye Xia said this, she looked at Yun Sheng thoughtfully.
However, Yun Sheng just smiled and didn't take it a step further.
Boring. Ye Xia thought she would do something. Seeing that Yun Sheng was indifferent, she could not help but feel a little discouraged.
During this time, Ye Xia's dou qi had also recovered.
She also secretly asked a few of her companions, and their situation was similar.
Yun Sheng's situation should be similar. She even began to meditate these days, and the time she spent meditating was much longer than the other mages.
Ye Xia did not know what cultivation level Yun Sheng was as a mage, but from the way she meditated, her strength was definitely not bad.
In the whole cell, if there was anyone who was still as calm as before, it was probably the masked female prisoner.
During this period of time, the masked woman did not meditate, nor did she meditate. Most of the time, she would just listen quietly to Yunsheng play the zither.
In fact, during the days they spent with her, Ye Xia and the others could not tell whether she was a warrior or a mage, or even both.
Everything about this woman was too mysterious.
When she was crazy, she was like a killing machine, but when she was quiet, she was as quiet as a painting.
The more she was like this, the more the people in the female prison were apprehensive of her. Only Yun Sheng would get along with her calmly.
After eating some food, Yun Sheng entered a state of meditation as usual. This time, she actually succeeded in entering a state of deep meditation. This meant that Yun Sheng's magical strength had at least recovered 50%, and the effect of the Demon Arrow on her was gradually disappearing.
Unfortunately, today was the day that the masked female prisoner was to be punished. This didn't seem to have changed because of the arrival of the Queen's birthday.
Xuan Meimei took advantage of the fact that Yun Sheng was in deep meditation and had no time to pay attention to the outside world to sneak in front of Ye Xia and the others. "I know you want to break out of prison. I want to join you. I can help you, but you have to help me snatch that millennium ice zither from Yun Sheng's hands."
Xuan Meimei had been drooling over Yun Sheng's ice zither for a long time.
Although she also had an expensive colored zither, in terms of sound and appearance, it was not at the same level as the millennium ice zither.
Under the effect of the Di Hong Song, Xuan Meimei's magical strength had recovered 30% to 40%. She believed that as long as she snatched Yun Sheng's zither, she would definitely be able to escape from Icefall City.
Moreover, if the Di Hong Song was played with the millennium ice zither, it would definitely have unexpected effects. Perhaps with that zither, she would be able to enter the Emperor's Tomb with Brother Bupo in the future.
"Why should I believe you? You're with her." Ye Xia saw Xuan Meimei and snorted disdainfully. She didn't like Yun Sheng, but she didn't have a good impression of Xuan Meimei either.
"Together? I can't wait for her to die. I have nothing to do with her. If you promise me, after leaving the Immortal Ju Nation, my father will definitely reward you handsomely. I am the daughter of the Grand Emperor City's City Lord. "Xuan Meimei revealed her identity.
The daughter of the Grand Emperor City's City Lord?
Although most of the female prisoners present had been locked in prison for many years, and some had even been locked up for as long as ten years, they had all heard of the Grand Emperor City's prestige.
They didn't expect Xuan Meimei to be the Grand Emperor City's Young Miss.
If it was in the past, even if these prisoners saw the Grand Emperor City's City Lord, they wouldn't have anything to say.
This was because they had always believed that once they were locked up in Icefall City, it meant that they wouldn't be able to leave for the rest of their lives.
No matter how powerful the Grand Emperor City was, it was impossible for them to invade the Immortal Ju Nation and take down Icefall City.
However, it was different now. The female prisoners' cultivation had recovered due to Yun Sheng's zither music. In addition, this time, it just so happened that the Queen's Birthday had happened, so the city's defenses had become lax. Their chances of escaping had greatly increased. If there was another group prison break at this time …
As long as they waited for the elven guards to deliver food the next day, they would still have a chance to escape if everyone swarmed together.
Ye Xia didn't immediately believe Xuan Meimei's words. She had a certain level of intelligence to be able to become the boss of the female prison.
She had offended Xuan Meimei before and could also see that this woman had a mean appearance and wasn't a kind person.
"Who said I'm going to leave? I've committed many murders. Even if I leave, it won't be any better than in Icefall City. There's no place for me on the continent. "Although ten years had passed, Ye Xia's enemies from back then might not let her go.
"What's so difficult about that? Other places won't tolerate you. As long as you help me snatch the zither, I guarantee that the Grand Emperor City will take you in. I can tell my father that you're my savior. When the time comes, you'll be a member of the Grand Emperor City. What enemies would you be afraid of? "Xuan Meimei coaxed.
Xuan Meimei thought to herself, This damned thieving woman has some brains. Do you really think I'll treat you well? Wait until I escape from Icefall City, then see how I'll deal with you. I'll make you my servant for the rest of your life and enslave and torture you.
Ye Xia was a bit tempted when she heard this. She looked warily at Yun Sheng, who was still meditating, and the thousand-year-old ice zither beside her.
Ye Xia's biggest taboo was the masked female prisoner with Yun Sheng.
Although the masked female prisoner was cold to everyone, it was undeniable that she was very special to Yun Sheng. If the two of them joined forces, she didn't have much of a chance of winning.
"What are you still hesitating for? Tomorrow must be the best chance to escape. Yun Sheng's Di Hong Song was secretly learned from our Grand Emperor City. She's only learned it for a few days, so she can't compare to me at all. There's also that masked female prisoner. She was whipped again today and will definitely be seriously injured when she returns. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Xuan Meimei didn't want to wait for the next Queen's Birthday.
