Ben Wang Zai Ci / The Legend of Shen Li

Chapter 17 Out of Detention

The frozen door slowly opened, and cold air poured out from the hall. Four icicles stood in four directions in the ten-foot-high hall, and a huge crystal clear ice ball floated in the centre.

Amid the big snowball, a woman wearing a deep tunic was curled up and trapped. Her hair was dishevelled and her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping soundly. However, when the visitor stepped into the hall with his long boots, her closed eyes suddenly opened and she looked at the visitor sharply.

"Her Lordship." The black-clothed messenger knelt down on one knee and kowtowed, "I have been ordered to come and undo the king's restraining order." After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked the bottle, and poured out the blood in the bottle. Sprinkle on the ground. In an instant, the icicles in the four directions glowed brightly, and the central ball slowly melted. When the ice ball melted to the size of half a person, the light in the hall stopped. The ice ball seemed to lose its support in an instant, and hit the ground heavily, causing an unknown amount of ice to accumulate on the ground. Years of ice and snow.

Shen Li's limbs were still a little stiff after being frozen for too long. She struggled to push away the pieces of the ice ball still covering her body, opened the hand that the messenger in black came to hold, and slowly stood up: "Everything will be over. I'm sealed in the Snow Sacrifice Hall, but I'm still banned?"
  
The Snow Sacrifice Hall is a forbidden area in the demon world. Like Xu Tianyuan, which is guarded by the demons, it is a place where monsters are extremely suppressed. However, it is different from Xu Tianyuan. The spell sealed in the Snow Sacrifice Hall is stronger than Xu Tianyuan, but it can only seal one monster. And for thousands of years, the most powerful monsters in the demon world have been either sealed in the Xutian Abyss or killed. Therefore, the Snow Sacrifice Hall has been vacant.
 
Shen Li had never dreamed before that she would be sealed inside one day, nor did she expect that the marriage decree in heaven would put so much pressure on the devil, making her so worried that she would run away from marriage arrangement. Shen Li moved her wrists, stepped over the broken ice at her feet, and walked towards the door. She was half dissatisfied and half sarcastic: "Is the wedding team from heaven here? Then she finally let me go."

The messenger in black followed her and replied respectfully: "Her Lordship is impatient. We still have a month to prepare for the wedding."

Shen Li was startled, then turned to ask him: "How long have I been imprisoned?" She still remembered the day she was captured and returned to the Demon Realm. She was imprisoned in the Snow Sacrifice Hall by the Demon Lord's order, but no one told her that she would be imprisoned. She didn't know how long she would be locked up in the snowball. One day and one year made no difference to her.

The messenger replied: "The demon king is kind-hearted and only banned Her Lordship for one month."

January... has been thirty days.

Stepping out of the Snow Sacrifice Hall, the giant stone door slammed shut behind her. Shen Li looked up and saw a man in black clothes standing quietly not far away. When he saw her coming out, he bowed his head and saluted. Shen Li didn't expect that Mo Fang would come. Suddenly, Mo Fang said to the black-clothed messenger, "I'll just send the king back."

"In this case, your subordinate will go back and resume his duties."

After the messenger in black disappeared, Mo Fang lifted up his clothes and knelt down on one knee: "Mo Fang failed to help Her Lordship escape, please punish me."

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted Mo Fang on the shoulder: "Come on. I know you must have tried your best. You won that half a day for me, which is enough if I want to escape... ...It’s just that I couldn’t escape at the time. It’s all my fault. I failed in your efforts.”
