Chapter 1902 - 1900: Gu Die Gets Trapped
"Bragging!" Lin Shiyan naturally didn’t believe Wang Dadong’s boasting.
However, this time Wang Dadong had actually conquered a nation to save her.
This was enough to show that in Wang Dadong’s heart, he valued his lover more.
A man, for a woman, would forsake even a kingdom. There is nothing more rewarding for a woman than this.
But soon, Lin Shiyan felt somewhat lost.
This woman called Gu Die definitely wasn’t someone good, and it was uncertain what would become of this country in her hands.
"Honey, what’s wrong?" Wang Dadong seemed to notice that Lin Shiyan was upset.
"Hubby, are we being selfish?" Lin Shiyan said with a bit of guilt.
"Honey, I know what you’re thinking. Rest assured, I have a big present for her later," Wang Dadong smiled mysteriously.
Lin Shiyan didn’t ask much about Wang Dadong’s so-called big present, as she knew Wang Dadong wouldn’t hurt her.
Wang Dadong arranged for Lin Shiyan to be escorted back to Huaxia overnight.
In the palace of San Marino,
"Your Majesty the Queen, please participate in the sacrificial activities as soon as possible to receive the recognition of my lord and become the true queen," the female guard said respectfully.
"It’s really bothersome. Fine, I’ll attend this so-called sacrificial activity," Gu Die replied somewhat impatiently.
Soon, Gu Die was brought to the front of a magnificent palace.
The entire palace appeared solemn and ancient, built entirely of giant stone carvings, grand and majestic.
In front of the palace, there were two rows of guards.
Twelve on each side, each wearing armor and holding a spear, standing motionless like two rows of sculptures.
Looking at those two rows of spear-wielding guards, Gu Die felt a bit uneasy. She stood in front of the palace door, unwilling to proceed.
"How about canceling this ritual?" Gu Die had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right.
"No, this is a ritual that every past king must undergo. Without this ritual, it’s impossible to receive the lord’s recognition," the female guard said very gravely.
Gu Die frowned, feeling as if the palace door was like the mouth of a monster, and once she entered, there would be no coming out.
"You come with me!" Gu Die suddenly turned around and said to Wang Dadong, who was following the female guard.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you can’t. This place is extremely sacred, and besides the kings of the past, no one else is qualified to enter," the female guard hurriedly said.
"Then no. If he doesn’t go in, I’m not going either," Gu Die insisted.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, as if Wang Dadong could provide her safety.
"This..." The female guard seemed troubled, looking at Wang Dadong with a difficult expression.
"Alright, I’ll go in with you," Wang Dadong said calmly.
Hearing Wang Dadong’s words, the female guard’s expression changed slightly, but it was quickly concealed.
Finally, the three of them entered the palace together.
After they were inside, the ancient and heavy stone door slowly closed.
Once the stone door closed, it disappeared, and all around them was thick fog.
"You shouldn’t have come in..." The female guard looked at Wang Dadong, biting her lip, her expression somewhat worried.
"You saw it too. If I didn’t come in, she definitely wouldn’t," Wang Dadong replied with some helplessness.
"But you should know this place has always been an entrance with no exit, especially for someone with a sensitive identity like you," the female guard sighed.
"Didn’t you say someone once left here? So, maybe I can leave too, right, Gado?" Wang Dadong said with a smile.
Listening to their conversation, Gu Die finally sensed something amiss, looking at them full of suspicion, "What... what are you two talking about?"
A powerful energy fluctuation suddenly surged from the female guard, and then her clothes were shattered, revealing a long, red robe.
Seeing the attire on the female guard, Gu Die’s face immediately changed dramatically.
"Cardinal in Red!"
"That’s right. I am Gado, one of the Cardinals of the Holy See. Welcome to the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment," Gado said indifferently.
"What! Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment!" Upon hearing Gado’s words, Gu Die’s body trembled violently.
She had naturally heard of the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment, the ultimate prison managed by the Holy See.
Once entered, no matter how powerful, there was no exit from the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment.
"Death Knell, have you gone mad!" Gu Die looked at Wang Dadong in utter shock.
She could never have imagined that Wang Dadong would bring her into the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment.
Wang Dadong’s identity was already on the Holy See’s blacklist. Even if he hadn’t stolen the Millennium Birch Tree from the Holy See last time, they would have long tried to capture him here.
Now he had delivered himself to their net, with no chance of leaving.
Why did Wang Dadong choose San Marino as the country to give to Gu Die? Because San Marino was where the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment was located.
Logically, a dangerous character like Gu Die should be killed on the spot, but he had his concerns.
Although Gu Die had lifted the Beast Soul Gu from Lin Shiyan, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t inflict another Gu on her.
Such as a life-sharing Gu poison, which is why he went to such great lengths to lure Gu Die into the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment.
For one, it could imprison Gu Die forever here, and for another, this place was said to be a standalone space similar to the Battle God Trial Space of the Battle God Temple.
Once here, even if Gu Die had placed other Gu poisons on Lin Shiyan, as they were in different spaces, she couldn’t manipulate it anymore.
This was the big gift Wang Dadong intended for Gu Die—a super trap!
He just didn’t expect that Gu Die would demand that he enter the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment as well.
For Lin Shiyan’s safety, Wang Dadong ultimately decided to enter together.
"Death Knell, I’ve already been crowned king and announced it to all media. Aren’t you afraid of causing national turmoil?" Gu Die said angrily.
Wang Dadong smiled and said, "Don’t worry. Your coronation ceremony was supposed to be live, but unfortunately, all equipment was offline, and the coronation ceremony was fake from the start."
Indeed, Wang Dadong had merely staged a show in cooperation with the king for Gu Die to see.
As for the so-called live broadcast, the cameras weren’t even connected. Naturally, the citizens of San Marino couldn’t see the coronation ceremony.
"Death Knell, do you really hate me so much that you’d also step into the Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment just to trap me?" Gu Die shouted, looking utterly dejected.
At this moment, Gu Die felt utterly hopeless. The Prisoner of Heavenly Punishment was always a one-way passage.
Wang Dadong shook his head and said, "You’re wrong, Gu Die. I came in not because I hate you, but because..."
