Chereads / Blood and Cultivation / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

I awoke in the middle of the afternoon to the sound of rustling at my door.

A maid walked in and gave me a tray of food then quickly walked away.

It had been three days since my memories returned and I have endured this same routine every day.

Wake up eat the food they bring me then sit around my room until they feed me again then after the final meal they place me in that cauldron of boiling pain juice then they give me pills and tuck me into bed.

It has been like this for the past three days I've gotten so bored of it that I even started exercising just to pass the time.

This room was depressing with only a single window I tried to look out of it but there was nothing outside of the window only light would pass through it.

If not for that window I wouldn't know what time of day it was or how many days have passed since I awoke here.

I've tried to open the door but it's locked up tight and it's very sturdy I have attempted to break it but to no avail, it was just too tough.

I'm all alone in a rectangular room with only a bed and some children's toys but not very good children's toys.

Honestly, I would prefer a book at least but there was nothing to read or do except wait for those weird maids to show up and give me food or clean.

I have tried speaking to them but they don't talk they only do their daily routine and then leave to probably do some other choirs.

I still don't know my name only that I am a young master of a mysterious clan and that I have an unknown mother and I'm in some advanced kingdom of powerful cultivators.

It's all so frustrating I want to leave but I can't and no one will speak to me oh whatever they can't ignore me forever eventually someone will come to see me or at least speak with me until then I'm just gonna eat their stupid food.

I ate all the food on my tray and just like clockwork a maid came in took my tray then walked away just like always.

After she left I got out of my bed and then did some exercises nothing too complicated just some jumping jack, ab crunches, and a little running.

I did other exercises too but it still barely alleviated my boredom.

Nothing here seemed normal to me why lock me in an isolated room with some strange window with only light wait hold on a minute only light passes through the window.

It just occurred to me that the window wasn't right either I have to investigate this.

I walk to the window but it was too high up for me to reach so I use my boring toys to build a step stool and try to look through but just like the other time I tried this I could only see light.

I have concluded something but I'm still not sure it's true but time to test my theory.

I use a wooden block with letters on it that is one of my toys and bash it against the window until it shatters and sadly it's just as I thought.

This isn't a window it's some kind of light fixture made to look like a window.

After I broke it the whole room turned pitch black and that's when I heard heavy footsteps outside my door.

Suddenly dozens of maids burst in and surround me I have no time to react when one of the maids chops my neck sending me to my knees.

The maid showed a hint of surprise at me still being conscious after that hit but it was only for a brief moment before she hits me again.

Except for this time I dodge her chop and run to the door all the maids quickly rush me but before they can catch me I slam the door on them locking them inside.

It's just as I thought the door can only be opened on the outside it locks as soon as you shut it.

I am also impressed by its durability all those maids are viciously slamming into the door but it doesn't budge an inch.

I don't stand around too long before I sprint down a dimly lit hallway.

I run as fast as my little legs can carry me but as I run I realize something my room was underground this whole time.

This entire hallway was one long underground tunnel made of stone with some lamps giving only a little bit of illumination but I could still see in the distance a set of stairs leading to the surface.

When I reached the stairs I heard the sound of wood shattering and feet pounding against the stone floor.

It was those creepy maids they must have broken through the door and are chasing after well then I gotta get moving before they catch up.

I quickly ran up the stairs moving as fast as possible until I saw a door up ahead I quickly opened it and ran outside.

Only to be greeted with a chop to the back of the neck and this time it was strong enough to knock me unconscious.
