Not that people in these times would understand such a concept that was found in the 15th century back in her world, which could be considered relatively recent when you looked at the whole of human existence.

\"I'm glad Wifey is concerned for this husband's subordinate. Then, how about I have him recuperate in one of my spare rooms?\" Rong Jian asked with a glint in his eye.

The man in black wanted to thank Wangfei for the concern and dismiss the thought that he would get sick from such a place but one look from Rong Jian and he lowered his head back down with his mouth shut.

Shen Tianyu herself didn't see any problem with the suggestion but her intuition told her there was something off about it and the glance Rong Jian directed at his subordinate consolidated her feeling. Still, she didn't understand what Rong Jian was trying to get at so she couldn't immediately come up with a satisfactory answer. \"Uh... I... don't think that's necessary?\"

\"Why is Wifey saying that like a question?\" He fired back as he bit his cheeks to hold back a teasing smile.

\"Um... I was just thinking... don't you have a barracks in your residence? Can't he just stay in one of those rooms?\" She wanted to suggest him resting at her place but then remembred that this wasn't the 21st century of her world so that was highly inappropriate. 

\"Okay, if Wifey says so then I'll arrange a room fro him at the barracks.\" Rong Jian turned back to the msn kneeling on the floor with a mischevious tilt of his lips. \"You heard Wangfei. I'll have someone arrange a room for you so get your things together.\"

\"Yes, Master.\" The subordinate responded but didn't move.

Rong Jian turned back to Shen Tianyu who was still holding her green flame in her hands, which had yet to be commented on. \"Let's continue on?\" He indicated one of the pathways from the clearing with a tilt of his head. She nodded and followed him out of the room.

Knowing his wifey wanted to question him, Rong Jian pointed to their right. Looking over, Shen Tianyu could see this cell, out of all the ones in this underground prison, was occupied by something larger than a rat. A woman in tattered clothes and smelling of burnt flesh was chained to a wooden pole in the likeliness of the number ten, or a cross. Her hair covered her face and reached until below her breasts. She wasn't struggling against her restraints but her faint breathing was loud enough for them in the prison where even a strand of hair falling could be heard.

Guarding the door of the cell was another man dressed in all black, not as injured as the one in the clearing, who stood there like a statue. If not for his salute to the couple, Shen Tianyu would have taken him for a sculpture. Without needing any indication, he turned around, his steps not makinga sound, as he pulled out a single key and unlocked the door of the cell. Despite this noise, the woman chained on the cross still didn't move.

\"Oh? Isn't this the former Assistant Head Maid, Mi Chou?\" Shen Tianyu asked, a smile gracing her features as she walked towards the cell. The guard held the door opened as he waited for them to enter at their leisure. Rong Jian, unliek last time, followed behind Shen Tianyu who sauntered into the cell as if it was her room, still holding the ball of green light. 

At her voice the woman finally had the motivation to move, looking up at the source of the voice between the strands of her hair. Shen Tianyu held the ball of light close to her chest, unliek before, right below her chin, casting an eerie and ghostly glow on her smiling face.

A scream echoed through the prison as the woman on the cross started to struggle. \"It wasn't me, it wasn't me! I was threatened! Please don't curse me, if you want to curse someone, then curse him, please, please, please...\" she started sobbing and begging but Shen Tianyu found this reaction amusing instead.

Completely opposite of the screaming and struggling young woman, Shen Tianyu doubled over as she laughed, the light of the green flame flickering as she stopped concentrating on maintaining it's brightness, which served to scare the young woman even more, in turn leading to an even more ear piercing screeech. Afraid the flame might burn her, Shen Tianyu was careful with letting the hand holding the green ball down, instead holding her stomach with one hand as she wheezed her laughter until she couldn't breathe anymore. When she finally calmed down, she wiped the tears that had run down her cheeks when she was howling with laughter. The whole time, the guard stared at the two women with a dumbfounded expression, ascertaining that the Wangfei his Master had chosen definitely had a screw loose but was too afraid to show it.
