Chapter 1154 Touring The Dungeons

(MC POV)

I thanked my foresight to let Cai Hong play with the Qilin instead of accompanying us here…

Like holy shit… That poor dude over there is being sodomised by the old guy while begging for mercy… The old guy doesn't even seem to care and just continued whatever he was doing.

I realised that the old man was doing it purely to extract that guy's divine essence as he was simply doing the motions with no signs of enjoyment on his face.

That's not to say that there weren't people enjoying themselves here since I also spotted a woman tribbing with another younger girl who was also begging for mercy while the older woman had a look of pure pleasure on her face.

Yep… That one was definitely enjoying herself…

There were even some prisoners who looked to be satisfied with their current conditions too and reciprocated their jailers' actions with their own. If it weren't for the collars around  their necks, I wouldn't even know which one was the prisoner.

The patriarch did not notice the look on my face and gestured to the cells, "These are the criminals of the family who have done something against us and were sentenced to become Divinity cauldrons. I am ashamed to say that there are several members of the Long family here as well…"

Sure enough, we passed by one of the rooms and I spotted his brother chained by the neck inside one of the cells, the guy looking quite miserable considering he has no limbs.

He noticed us and tried to shrink away but was unable to and ended up just rolling around on the bed.

I'm going to assume the patriarch already did some things to him to cause him to have a reaction like that…

As I said… This World is pretty screwed up already… But I'd be lying if I said this was the most fucked up thing I've ever seen in this incarnation.

Even the alternate version of Luna when I was crippled did some really weird things to me… Some of them look relatively normal when compared to this. Now that I know that she did all that to get herself a perfect husband, I feel that was even more screwed up…

Heck, even the alternate Tsuki did some pretty fucked up things too. There was that time where she experimented on shaving off my skin to have it regrow constantly for no seemingly apparent reason. That was a pretty dark time for me.

I figured out now that she was most likely thinking that she could turn me back to my old self by cutting off the first layer of my skin to 'free' me. My little sister is weird…

Continuing ahead, we walked past more cells where the prisoners were being raped in some way or another, the patriarch showing no reaction to the sights around him like there was nothing weird about it.

On the other hand, this must be the first time Long Er was here since she was blushing up to her ears and kept her head down the entire time.

She did scream and call me a pervert when she first saw me after all, so I believe she had a quite sheltered upbringing. Though why the patriarch let her follow him here now is another question on its own.

"If any of the prisoners catch your eye, Divine one, just let me know and I will prepare them for you." He added casually.

I didn't come here to fuck your prisoners dude…

Of course I didn't say that out loud and instead, I asked, "I know you have Gods kept captive here, where are they?"

The patriarch paused, "Umm… Do Divine Ones really want to see them? Even though they're locked up, they're still dangerous…"

Iris giggled, "Ara, ara? I believe the Gods of this World have much more sense than to try and defy us unlike certain mortal beings~ Any of them who even dare to lay a hand on Master can forget about existing~"

Oh right… Didn't Iris cause several gods to 'fall' because they did something to either directly or indirectly in my previous lives? Sylphy lost her position just because she transmigrated someone here and that person just so happened to mess with me. That wasn't even her fault but Iris made her 'fall' anyway.

I'd think if any one of these gods were to show hostility, then they would be met with a fate worse than death…

With no other excuses to give, the patriarch brought us to a dead end that seemed to be guarded by two more stone lions.

The statues' eyes flashed red for a moment before the patriarch waved his hand over them to turn them blue, allowing him to walk towards the wall unhindered.

He tapped a few spots on the wall in order, causing an inscription to appear before the wall slid down to reveal a hidden passage that led deep underground.

Instead of being made of marble like the rooms outside, this one seemed to be made of solid gold and adorned with various precious metals.

We descended down the golden tunnel where it opened up to a larger hall, though there were distinctly fewer cells as compared to the ones above.

Each of the cells could be described as a suite of its own with large canopy beds and luxurious bathrooms attached to them, making them look more like hotel rooms than jail cells.

One of the cells stood out from the rest since it was twice the size of all the other cells and there were various inscriptions and seals layered on the walls of the cell itself. It was also empty of any amenities and it looked the most like a jail cell with its sandy ground and dirty walls.

The occupants of the other cells quickly got up the moment they saw the patriarch, throwing insults and curses at him until they saw me.

I thought they would start asking me to save them but they simply sank to their knees and stayed there with their heads lowered, surprising the patriarch.

"I… I see that Divine One is truly above the Gods…" He shuddered.

Huh… It looks like even after all that we've done, he still had doubts about our identities?

'Ara, ara? It seems that his mortal mind is just too small to comprehend such a simple thing, Master~'

Well now, let's not call him out like that…

The patriarch then turned to me, "If… If Divine One has any interest in bedding any of them, please go right ahead. I was initially afraid that they might harm you but it seems like there was no need for such worries."

Again, I didn't ask to come here just so that I can have intercourse with your prisoners, ok?

To distract him from that topic, I pointed at the biggest cell in the hall, "What happened to that one?"

He took one look at where I was pointing and his face paled before shaking his head at me, "Divine One… I suggest not to even go near it… The Goddess inside is absolutely crazy, you won't like her one bit!"

Well now that you put it that way I just want to see it even more! Lead the way!
