# Chapter 2154: Imagination vs Reality
The precious treasure that was cherished in their hearts had been hurt like this in Ming He Death Prison!
Xia Yao's heart was bleeding. Her eyes stared fixedly at the photo, engraving Jiu Lan's appearance deeply into her mind!
The space around Lan was cracking, her expression extremely cold!
Mila's tears were welling up in her eyes. Jiangnan Gege's bright smile kept flashing through her mind, but the Jiangnan in the photo had been beaten like this!
How could she bear it!
"No one can hurt Jiangnan Gege! No one! That damned bitch, I want her dead!"
The killing intent in Mila's eyes was real!
Xiao Jiuwo and Xiong Er now wished they could devour Jiu Lan alive!
Smile? She was still smiling?
Olivia's face turned pale. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead. She even began to wonder if she shouldn't have opened her mouth!
But she felt that Zhong Yingxue and the others had the right to know. Although she had anticipated the situation would be like this, watching Zhong Yingxue, who was so dark that she could snap and kill someone at any moment, burning down the Pioneer City, she was still scared!
(꒪﹏꒪‧̣̥̇) "D-don't act impulsively! Calm down! Calm! According to the information I received, Nan Shen isn't dead. He still has secrets that haven't been squeezed out!"
"H-he just suffered a bit of hardship. If you act like this, Nan Shen will only be more worried, right?"
Wu Liang's entire body was surging with bloody light, his eyes full of red veins!
"F*ck the Netherworld Race! Ming He Death Prison, right? I'll make you pay for touching my Nan Ge!"
As he spoke, the muscles in his legs bulged. With a big leap, he prepared to jump toward the distant sky!
But just then, a giant hand made of black flames suddenly materialized, grabbing Wu Liang and holding him in its palm!
It pressed him heavily back to the ground!
"Big guy! Where are you going?"
Wu Liang's eyes were bloodshot. He struggled incessantly, his muscles bulging all over, but he couldn't break free from the black flame giant hand!
"Sister Xue! Let me go! Let me go! Nan Ge, he..."
Zhong Yingxue said coldly: "Where? To Ming He Death Prison? Is it your turn? Calm down! Use your brain for once! How many times have I told you!"
"What will you do? Cause more trouble? You're not going anywhere!"
Wu Liang urged: "But Nan Ge has been bullied like this! Are we just going to sit here and watch? Sister Xue? How about we break him out of prison! He..."
Zhong Yingxue gritted her teeth: "No! How will we break him out? Grow up! If we go, we'll all fall into the hands of the Netherworld Race and become Xiao Nan's weakness, right?"
"Xiao Nan has already had a hard enough time holding on until now. Once they use our lives as leverage to threaten Xiao Nan! Forget secrets! Knowing Xiao Nan's nature, he'd give his life if they asked for it!"
"This isn't saving Xiao Nan! It's killing him!"
Wu Liang's teeth were about to grind to dust. His face was full of grievance, his nose tingling, tears flowing uncontrollably!
Even Wu Liang, upon seeing that photo, couldn't stop a tough guy like him from crying!
"Everyone is doing well, but... but Nan Ge is suffering alone. He worked so hard to make it this far, but Nan Ge..."
At this moment, the entire squad fell silent!
Xia Yao looked down at her toes, tears dripping down!
"Don't do anything stupid. Xiao Nan entering Ming He Death Prison isn't just a personal struggle; it's a racial struggle. At this level, we can't get involved!"
"The only thing we can do is not to cause trouble, let Xiao Nan feel at ease, let him..."
As she spoke, Xia Yao's voice trembled. The logic was sound!
But who could bear seeing this? She herself couldn't bear to hit him hard in normal times! Now he was beaten like this by that bitch!
Xia Yao's hatred itched even in her teeth!
Zhong Yingxue struggled to suppress her restless emotions. When Xiao Nan left, he entrusted the rear to her!
No matter what, she had to restrain herself, stabilize the rear, and let Xiao Nan feel at ease!
Even if she was furious, even if she wanted to do something, she had to restrain herself!
Olivia breathed a long sigh of relief. Good! At least it didn't spiral out of control!
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue was more agitated than anyone, yet within that agitation was rationality!
Two completely opposite traits appearing in the same person made her even more frightening!
Anger is not scary! What's scary is calm anger, silent screams!
Qian Benying was also terrified, but she knew this was absolutely not the time to cause trouble. Otherwise, humanity's Dimensional Star Navigation operation, as well as the plans laid out, would all be ruined!
She intended to stop them at all costs if Sister Xue and the others became impulsive. Fortunately, they held back!
(⌒⌒;) "D-don't be so pessimistic! Think positive! You know Nan Shen best! When has he ever suffered a loss?"
"He has so many tricks and all kinds of little treasures. He's always the one who scammed others. Even without using his powers, he can still navigate smoothly, right?"
"Maybe Nan Shen is putting on an act for the Sacred Law Council? After all, that bad guy Jiangnan loves acting the most, loves making people cry. Wasn't that the case with his fake death?"
"Besides... Black God is with him too. How could anything happen to Nan Shen? Don't be mad, don't be mad, don't act impulsively, okay~"
At this moment, Qian Benying frantically teleported around, patting everyone's backs to soothe them!
She picked up Mila and Lan and started coaxing them, frantically persuading!
Zhong Yingxue took a deep breath, the flames around her gradually subsiding!
Indeed, what Yingjiang said wasn't without reason. But that was Ming He Death Prison, holding the most heinous criminals in all the starry sky!
No one knew the real situation inside. Judging solely by the photo was too one-sided. But looking at it truly hurt, hurt to the point of suffocation!
"Three months! Xiao Nan said he'd handle it in three months. During this time, don't start any trouble. Once three months pass! If there's still no news..."
"If Xiao Nan really falls in Ming He Death Prison... then..."
As she spoke, Zhong Yingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed. Then, let the revenge of all humanity begin!
That would be a blood feud!
Jian Ge knew this news but held back, not moving. That was enough to explain the problem. The timing wasn't ripe yet!
Everything would wait until the Dimensional Star Navigation was fully online!
"Xiao Ya! Keep this news locked down. Apart from us, don't reveal it to anyone! If Sister Mi Ye, Bai Kou, Odin, Xiao Yeye, and the others find out..."
"Ming He Death Prison might really be stormed by them. Don't let it out, understand? Given Xiao Nan's importance to humanity, the impact would be too great!"
Olivia nodded like a chick pecking rice and quickly dismissed the photo!
"Don't worry! My lips are sealed like a Klein bottle!"
Xia Yao rubbed her eyes:
(｡ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ก̀｡) "Xue~ I can't stay still. I dare not think about what Xiao Nan is going through right now. Every time I think about it, I..."
Zhong Yingxue bit her lower lip, stroked her head, and gently wiped away her tears!
"Then find something to do! Coincidentally, I've just become Transcendent. Earlier, I received a message from Xiao Yeye, saying that if I had time after becoming Transcendent, I should make a trip to the Red Sun Star Domain!"
"He said there's something there that I need..."
Xia Yao rubbed her face roughly: "I'll pack my things right away!"
Qian Benying quickly said: (*ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "Let's go together!"
After seeing the photo, none of them could stay still. Their hearts were already restless!
If they didn't do something, they couldn't suppress it!
Soon, a Solar Wind-class starship crashed into the Dimensional Star Ring!
With Zhong Yingxue's group's configuration, plus Mila, Olivia, and their contracted dimensional creatures...
Even if they encountered a Star Devourer, they had the capital to escape. As long as they entered the Dimensional Gap, they were safe!
So there wasn't much to fear!
In the starship training room, Xia Yao was expressionless, her movements so fast they looked like a blurry silver shadow!
She was crazily beating a Strong-Phase Alloy special training bag!
"Bang bang bang" sounds rang out incessantly. Projected on the training bag was the photo of Jiu Lan reversing the peace sign!
She dared not let herself stop, or else she would start thinking wildly!
And during this venting process, Xia Yao's Transcendent bottleneck seemed to be slowly breaking through!
Jiangnan's Talk Squad became even more intense. Everyone was climbing up with all their might, training to the point of madness!
They were even harder on themselves!
Every time they thought of Jiangnan suffering in Ming He Death Prison, Wu Liang, Xiong Er, and the others couldn't help but bury their heads in hard work, demanding even stricter standards of themselves!
Nan Ge! You have to hold on!
...
Ming He Death Prison, Deputy Warden's Office. Jiu Lan was buried in her work. Suddenly, she looked up and shuddered violently!
For some reason, she felt a chill on her back, a sense of being watched!
Jiu Lan's sixth sense had always been accurate. She couldn't help but look back in confusion, but besides the wall, there was nothing!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
She scratched her head in bewilderment:
୧(︶～︶) "Strange~"
Without thinking much, Jiu Lan went back to her work. But the chill on her back grew stronger!
Shivering, Jiu Lan stood up. She couldn't focus on work anymore!
(๑◔～◔ิ) "What kind of evil possession is this today?"
So she started pacing in the office, thinking about whether to go find Jiangnan for some extra training again, since she had nothing else to do!
But remembering that they had just fought yesterday, she figured he probably wouldn't agree today!
Yet thinking of this, a smile curled at the corner of Jiu Lan's mouth. The photos she took made Lord Nether very satisfied. He praised her work and said he would give her a raise!
But now, taking blood photos of Jiangnan was getting harder and harder. She had even gradually started using Nether energy for sparring!
Just then, Jiu Lan suddenly turned around. Still no one...
But the chilling sensation on her back was getting worse!
୧(๑•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "What's going on?"
...
In the corridor, the prison overlord Jiangnan was strolling through the prison areas with a square step, holding a big bucket of cream ice cream, scooping it with a spoon and eating!
~(ง๑¯ิٹ¯ิ)ว
As for the small shop, Jiangnan had already handed it over to Wang Youzhi, Sa Mo, and the others to run. He didn't need to worry!
The ice cream in his hand was also a tribute from Bing Chacha!
But wherever Jiangnan passed, in the crowded corridors, the prisoners consciously made way!
They all bowed in salute!
∠(｀ω´*) "Greetings Nan Shen! You look even more handsome today!"
(๑¯ิ～¯ิ) "Bullshit! Am I not handsome every day?"
∠(｀◡´*) "Nan Shen works hard! Out patrolling the territory so late at night!"
(ง⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)ว "Ah~ nothing! Just taking a walk to digest! Get on with your business!"
As he passed by, prisoners with bulging muscles, ghost tattoos, and fierce looks all saluted and greeted Jiangnan!
They were as polite as good little babies!
Then a bald, scar-faced prisoner led over seven or eight nervous-looking newcomers!
(メ･ˇ～ˇ･) "Nan Shen! These are the new batch of prisoners. I brought them over to make sure they know the place. Don't want them to offend you..."
Jiangnan scooped a spoonful of ice cream and licked his lips!
"Ah? Newcomers? Go ahead and teach them the rules here. Here, a reward for you!"
With that, he stuffed the ice cream bucket into the bald scar-faced prisoner's hand!
He casually grabbed a newcomer's prison uniform to wipe his mouth!
Bald prisoner: (≖_≖)...
This is clearly already finished! Only the bucket is left!
The newcomers' eyes nearly popped out! Th-this is the Jiang Devil?
∑(❍口❍(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇(@口@!!)...
The one who dismantled the Thousand Stars City and caused the Thousand Stars Great Catastrophe!
The one who was sent to Ming He Death Prison for three hundred years by joint resolution of all races!
He's here to suffer, isn't he?
How come...
He's only been in for a short time. H-he's the boss?
During the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, these newcomers had all experienced it firsthand!
The bald prisoner glared:
(ꐦ▼皿▼) "What are you staring at? Call him Nan Shen Boss! You looking for a beating? Don't you have any sense?"
The newcomers shuddered and immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, saying respectfully: "Greetings Nan Shen Boss!"
Jiangnan casually waved:
(︶⇀︶〃)ﾉ "Good, you're sensible~ Off you go!"
Humming a little tune, he strolled over to the partition gate separating the male and female prison areas!
He pulled out the gate key from his pocket, unlocked it, and opened the door. The movements were smooth. He just sauntered into the female section!
And this was right in front of the guards!
The guards acted as if they saw nothing, even helping Jiangnan close the door behind him!
The newcomers' eyes were wide, their jaws almost hitting the ground!
(๑ʘ̅дʘ̅๑) "Th-that's the female section, isn't it? Aren't male prisoners not allowed in? We just learned the rules! Anyone who goes in gets beaten to death on the spot!"
And how does Nan Shen have the key?!
Is this a prisoner? Did he open Ming He Death Prison himself?
The bald scar-faced prisoner raised his hand and gave the newcomers a few fierce knocks on the head!
"What are you looking at? That's Nan Shen Boss! He's the one who calls the shots in Ming He Death Prison!"
"Now I'll teach you the rules of this death prison! First rule! Don't mess with Nan Shen! Quick! Recite it three times forward, three times backward for me! Hurry up!"
Newcomers: (•́ω•̀٥)...
Jiangnan arrived at Chong Feiyu's cell door. He had come today to discuss something with her!
(ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey! Are you..."
Before he could finish, Chong Feiyu opened the door!
(∗❛ั～❛ั) "Looking for me? What's..."
Before she could finish, Jiangnan's mouth gaped wide, tears in his eyes!
(˚≥3≤) "Ah-ah-ah-choo-choo-choo-choo~..."
A series of deadly consecutive sneezes sprayed all over Chong Feiyu's face, not missing a single one!
Jiangnan wiped his nose, looking confused!
(๑⁼̴ก⁼̴) Did I catch a cold from eating too much ice cream? Why am I sneezing so much at once?
But wait, with my physical condition, can I even catch a cold?
Or is someone thinking of me?
Chong Feiyu's forehead veins bulged. She wiped the saliva off her face, showing a radiant smile!
(ꐦ°᷄҉◡°᷅҉)و "You came to see me, don't tell me it's just to say this? You saved up your sneezes just to spray me? Are you that bored?"
Jiangnan's forehead dripped with sweat:
੧੧(•́ω•̀٥) "No! Hear me out! I didn't mean to! I..."
Chong Feiyu grabbed Jiangnan by the collar and pulled him into her cell!
"You did that on purpose, didn't you? Get in here!"
