Theresa’s mouth is gagged and she is blindfolded, unable to see a thing. She is tied upside down to the roof hanging on only by a thin rope to the roof. She is still unaware of her situation since Long Ren had used another spell on her 3 minutes ago.

“There! Perfect.” Long Ren exclaimed.

“Mistress, its time to see a wonderland.” he muttered as he removed the gag, blindfold and undid the spell.

Theresa opened her eyes and what came to her view was the floor and Long Ren upside down.

“What’s going on?” she thought.

She massaged her temples and coughed. This made the thin rope sway.

“Mistress, eat this.” Long Ren put a strange, foul-smelling black pill into her mouth with force and made her swallow it.

“Long Ren, what did you feed me. Why am… I tied upside down? What’s your plan?” she weakly asked.

“What I fed you… I fed you… mmm.. I fed you… sweet dreams,” replied Long Ren.

He clapped and Theresa closed her eyes. When she reopened them, what she saw was a bottomless abyss of fire. Theresa was scared and began to shiver.

It seemed weird that she was atop the abyss, feeling the extreme heat and yet not falling into the abyss. She looked upwards to see the thing holding her from falling and all she saw was a skeleton with its eyes still intact.

Blood dripped from the skull and landed on her feet and face. The skeleton’s hand was holding her right leg preventing her from falling into the abyss.

“Young lady, you look tasty,” said the skeleton.

Theresa stared at it in fright.

“You..” she didn’t know what to say or do at that moment. If she angered it by yelling, she might be thrown into this fiery abyss. Also, if she kept quiet; she’d be the skeleton’s meal. What should she do now? Also, where was Long Ren?

From behind her, another hand gripped her left leg.

She looked and saw that it was a severed arm that was already festering. She then heard many screams of demons in her head and fainted from all the drama.

3, minutes later.

She woke up to see that she was hung upside down in a prison cell. Beneath her were snakes of all sorts moving about.

Some had only one eye, others had two tails. One had five unequal heads and 18 eyes of different colors. He seemed to be the king of the snakes judging from his size. Ah, he’s so scary. She wants to live longer, okay?

From her calculation, she was hung 3 meters away from the ground where the snakes are but just by coiling the king of the snakes was able to get close to her by 2. 5 meters.

Theresa wanted to faint but dared not. She’s so afraid of snakes and just look at all the snakes in here! She did not need to count before saying that they could number a hundred.

“Hey, morsel. Prepare yourself,”

Theresa heard a voice and looked around but found no one.

“Who are you?” she whispered.

“I’m right under you,” said the owner of the voice.

She looked down to see the king of the snakes. However, what she saw shocked her even more.

The 5-headed snake with 18 eyes now had a half-human body. The rest of his body was a very large snake tail. His hair was actually several hundreds of small snakes. This reminded her of Medusa.

Ahh! This is too much.

“My dear morsel, how about a chat before the death?” the strange being asked.

Theresa just stared at him, unable to say a word.

“I’m Aniln the 3rd. What’s your name?” he asked with a smile, revealing canine teeth stained with blood.

Theresa did not have any courage to speak. All she thought of in her heart was Long Ren.

“Long Ren, where are you? Please come save me. I need you. I promise not to complain anymore when you train me. Please save me!” she prayed in her heart.

“It’s alright if you don’t wanna talk. I don’t expect a corpse to speak anyway.” Aniln said before revealing extra long fangs.

He changed back to his five-headed self and inched closer to her. When he was half a meter close to Theresa, she screamed loudly as she couldn’t bear it anymore.

“LONG REN, SAVE ME!” she cried with all her might while shutting tightly her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of familiar laughter.

She was confused. What really was happening?

The scene before her changed back to that of the secluded room. She could see she was still tied upside down hanging on by a thin rope that could cut in two any minute.

Long Ren was rolling on the floor like a mad man laughing uncontrollably. Theresa’s face went black.

“You… release me now you devil!” she yelled in frustration.

She had come to a realization that what he fed her earlier was a hallucination pill. She had heard mother Ye Feng mention it to Lu Wei yesterday. Theresa really wanted to cut her mischievous pet to pieces.

“Mistress,” Ren muttered as he bridled his laughter and got up from the ground.

“Mistress, you really are so funny. So funny,” Ren commented before he started laughing again.

Theresa tried to struggle but no matter how hard she tried, the rope that seemed so thin and weak only got fuller and stronger.

“Mistress, if you struggle harder, you can hallucinate again and then I can watch you make funny expressions. I’ve never been this entertained all my life.” Long Ren remarked.

By now, Theresa’s eyes had become fiery red. A fire erupted from her body and burnt the rope making Theresa fall down.

Long Ren shook his head when he saw her actions. It did not take two seconds for Theresa to cry out in pain. On the floor, the once invisible things had now become visible.

On the once bare floor, around Theresa were spikes and a spiky chair similar to the one he had offered her once. Theresa was currently sitting on it. Only heavens know how many injections she must have received from the spiky chair!

“Mistress, take care,” Long Ren said before ditching the scene his usual way- by vanishing.

Soon a loud roar was heard from the secluded room after Long Ren had removed the soundproof in the secluded room, startling Lu Wei and Ye Feng. They forgot all about what they were doing and head for the secluded room.
