The Scum Shou's Survival Guide

Chapter 148

Ye Ming looked at the man in front of him with an extremely innocent expression, but his mind was racing with various thoughts.

It's definitely not Qin Yi inside this body right now; otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at him with this expression. But it shouldn't be those individuals from the modern world either... Only when someone arrives in a completely unfamiliar world that they don't understand would they be so cautious. He needed to figure out who had appeared this time to respond appropriately.

However, he must not panic; he had to stay calm. Swords are unforgiving, and this is his precious little life. 888 is not by his side now, and if he dies, there's no coming back!

Li Zechen tightly gripped the small knife in his hand, every nerve in his body tense. His sharp gaze carried scrutiny, coldly observing the young man he had suppressed.

Growing up in the royal palace, Li Zechen has always been cautious and suspicious. Even after becoming the emperor, his temperament hasn't changed a bit; instead, he has become more sensitive. Suddenly finding himself in such a bizarre place naturally made him extremely vigilant.

He remembered dying from a severe illness, a painful death that strangely brought relief. Tired of being a model for the world, tired of living for others, tired of a world without Qimingyan, he had hoped for a different possibility in the next life, yearning to reunite with him.

With these thoughts, Li Zechen left that world.

Little did he expect that when he opened his eyes again, he would be in such a strange world! This world was beyond his imagination.

Li Zechen was shaken to the core. He forced himself to stay calm, examining his surroundings. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. He found himself in a prison cell over a hundred meters high. The walls, though not made of stone, were incredibly hard. The large door was crafted from refined iron, and the windows had immovable iron bars. Was this an airborne prison?

Was this a monstrous conspiracy? Did someone want him to have no peace even after death? Was he cursed?

So, Li Zechen cautiously walked out of the room, finding a small knife in a kitchen-like area. He sensed the presence of another person in the prison. Why were they locked up together?

Although they seemed to be fellow prisoners, Li Zechen wouldn't easily trust anyone, especially someone inexplicably appearing here.

He patiently waited until Ye Ming appeared, swiftly seizing him with lightning speed, attempting to extract useful information from him.

Li Zechen slightly lowered his head, approaching Ye Ming. In the dim light, he stared into Ye Ming's somewhat panicked eyes and slowly asked, "Where is this?"

Ye Ming, already plotting in his mind, instantly added a layer of mist to his eyes, looking at Li Zechen with surprise and sadness. He said, "What are you doing? Don't you even know our home? Put the knife away, don't play such jokes."

In those eyes, there was deep affection, profound concern, and a hint of reproach.

Li Zechen was slightly startled. He didn't know this person at all, yet this person looked at him as if they had a profound relationship...

Looking at Ye Ming's face, Li Zechen felt an inexplicable pity. He didn't want to see him so distressed, which was quite extraordinary for him to feel soft towards someone other than Qimingyan. But remembering his own situation, Li Zechen forced himself to remain cold and continued, "Confess truthfully; don't think you can deceive me!"

However, Ye Ming sighed. "Your Majesty, you've dropped your disguise so quickly. Let me see how I can trick you this time!"

"Do you really not recognize me?" Ye Ming looked at him with sorrowful eyes. "I am your lover!"
