Zhongli Yinmin look at the dark, dirty, dim cell filled with musky smell and sound of rats running around.
Those rats seem to be mocking her just few days ago she along with her cousins spend whole day hunting them.
Now here she is trapped with them in a cell she was brought here few days ago, thrown here receiving piece of hard moldy bread twice a day.
She can't even complain about it if she did that even this piece of bread will be taken away from her.
Maybe she had been neglected quite few years that this type of treatment doesn't seem bad to her.
This made her confuse after all her memories didn't contain het first two-three years of being born.
So she had no idea if she had been neglected but this treatment surprisingly didn't made her uncomfortable.
She calmly stayed laid on the ground with no intention of getting up wanting to save her energy for any kind of emergency.
While she was enjoying her rare moments of doing nothing her cell was suddenly opened making her surprise.
But she was too lazy to raise her head and see what is happening she heard something falling inside the cell.
She roll her body slightly and saw another figure inside the cell, she raise her eyebrow and mutter under her breath.
"Look like I got new cellmate" the figure seem to be unconscious as it didn't even move after being thrown.
She move closer to the figure and saw it's a girl about eleven or twelve year old her face is bruises pretty badly.
Her clothes are torn and dirty there's blood on her clothes probably cause she had been beaten pretty badly.
She put her hand under nose feeling her breath she went back and lay down it's not like she can do anything.
If she could she had already run away from this place, she don't even know how much time had been passed since brought here.
She stay on the ground when the guard bring the food for two of them to eat she grab her bread and eat it.
She lightly focus her gaze at the girl, suddenly seat up straight and stare at the girl with widden eyes.
She check the girl seeing that she is still unconscious she take out the pill bottle and stuff one of the healing pill in her mouth.
She look at the girl with her vision again, the girl spirit root is completely covered in crystal ice.
The ice not only covered the spirit root but all of meridians and ice seem to be also spreading in the bones too.
This is the first time she is encountering something like this in order to observe more she gave one of her precious pill to her.
She continue observing the girl, suddenly the girl body twitch and she groan lightly but didn't open her eyes.
Zhongli yinmin roll her eyes and pock her shoulder "hey hey I know you had woke up stop pretending"
The girl turn around she had bronze tone skin with pair of sharp fox like eyes and light pink lips adore with red mole on upper lip.
Her torn clothes is actually battle armor a crimson battle armor inlaid in jade plates and Phoenix feather cloak.
The life like feather cloak look beautiful and the golden thread used to made this cloak is genuine gold thread.
The girl was wearing a Phoenix crown- a small golden headpiece with flaming red ruby wings.
The girl had noble and arrogant aura around her but her sharp eyes were clear showing intelligence and wisdom beyong her age.
"Here eat this bread don't starve yourself to death" she stuff the bread in her hand went back to being salted fish.
The girl look at the bread with disgust but she didn't act like high mighty princess and silently bite on it finishing it few bites.
"Why are you kidnapped by this sect little girl" the girl try to start the conversation with her since she felt bored.
"Cause I have space element" her tone was calm like she is discussing about weather not herself.
"SPACE ELEMENT!!!" The girl voice rise by a notch making yinmin grumble at the loud noises.
"Geez I know space element is rare but there's no need to scream so loudly you almost made me deaf"
Zhongli yinmin carefree attitude made the girl in crimson armor so angry that she almost cough blood.
"Little girl space element is not rare but rather in the whole 8th small realm you are only person with this"
".....Ohhh"
"You you you" the girl can only shut her mouth in irritation since she couldn't move this nonchalant attitude of her.
"How old are you and what's your name" the girl ask with almost unhidden annoyance in her tone.
"When you ask someone name you also tell them yours" the girl pause 'she does make some sense'
"My nam----- Zhongli yinmin 5 and half year old" being cut like this by her the girl almost strangled her.
"Zhang Jiutian, eleven year old" she spat every single words of her in anger she felt all of the wound in her body hurt badly.
She turn around refusing to look at her with 'out of sight out of mind' attitude towards her but Zhang Jiutian never had stayed silent.
So turning around she again try to start another conversation with her "hey yinmin so how did you get kidnapped"
"Kidnapped girl I was sold" Zhang Jiutian suddenly felt like a bastard for pooking on people scars.
"They must be very evil people" she try to make the situation little bit better and make herself feel less awkward.
"I'm actually worried about how much they had sold me for I don't want to be sold cheaply"
Zhang Jiutian never had seen such girl in her whole life she is rather worried about being sold cheaply then the fact that her family sold her.
"You aren't angry at your family for selling you" she couldn't help herself but ask this question to her.
"Being angry will only thinner my blood by boiling it in anger, I rather prefer to stay cool so my mind work perfectly fine and I can escape from there"
