When Liu Yaoyao saw Liu Jingshu leaving, the cunning look on her face became even more intense.

She looked around, trying to find a glimmer of life in this barren land.

Her gaze finally fell on the three chains that bound her, and she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan.

"Since there is no water, we can only rely on ourselves."

Liu Yaoyao talked to herself, and then began her "self-rescue plan".

She first carefully knocked on the wall with the chain, trying to find any possible cracks or holes, but she found nothing except the echoing metallic sound.

"Humph, it seems that a head-on confrontation won't work. We have to outsmart them."

Liu Yaoyao grumbled unwillingly, and then she began to observe the structure of the cellar.

She noticed some discarded wooden boxes and miscellaneous items piled up in a corner of the cellar, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Hey, it's decided to be you, little wooden box!"

Liu Yaoyao ran over excitedly and started moving the wooden boxes.

Although she was bound by iron chains and had difficulty moving, she relied on her amazing perseverance and wisdom to stack up several wooden boxes to form a simple "workbench".

Then, using the end of the chain as a lever, she began trying to pry the cellar flagstones.

The process was extremely difficult, with each attempt accompanied by violent shaking of the chains and twisting of the body.

But Liu Yaoyao enjoyed it, as if she was performing a difficult dance.

Every time the shadow guard heard the noise and came to check, he never saw her take out the magic water, so that was it.

This is a good deal for Liu Yaoyao.

"Come on, Yaoyao! You are the best!"

She encouraged herself while working hard.

After countless attempts and failures, she finally pried a piece of stone slab loose.

She excitedly increased her strength, and with a "click", the stone slab was lifted up by her, revealing a dark hole.

"Haha, there is always a way out. It seems that my 'self-rescue plan' was successful!"

Liu Yaoyao was proud.

"Humph, Liu Jingshu, just wait and see. I, Liu Yaoyao, am not that easy to deal with!"

Liu Yaoyao said this and prepared to crawl out through the passage.

However, just as she was about to take the first step, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing?"

Liu Jingshu had been standing at the entrance of the cave at some point, looking at her with ill intent.

"Ah? You...why are you here?"

Liu Yaoyao was stunned. She didn't expect her plan to be discovered so quickly.

"I...I, of course, just wanted to see how you could escape right under my nose."

Liu Jingshu's tone was somewhat complicated, as if she was hiding some emotion.

Liu Yaoyao looked into Liu Jingshu's deep eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.

Sure enough, in the next second, Liu Jingshu did not relax her vigilance.

She waved her hand gently, and the cellar wall seemed to come alive. In an instant, several dark shadows fell, lifted up several stone slabs, and sealed the cave entrance tightly, so that not even a ray of light could penetrate.

"Okay, stop pretending. I've seen through your little tricks a long time ago. But having said that, I really admire your perseverance. You've tried to escape so many times but still enjoy doing it."

Liu Jingshu sneered.

Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao simply gave up struggling, sat on the ground, and started acting like a rogue.

"Well, since I can't escape, I'll just stay here. Anyway, it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer here, and you come and talk to me from time to time, so life is pretty comfortable."

Liu Jingshu was so amused by her rogue behavior that she was speechless.

Since then, Liu Yaoyao has been a little more obedient.

Since she couldn't escape, she could still rely on him for help.

All she needed to do now was wait for the moon to become full and crescent.

Finally, on a stormy night, an unusual noise was heard from above the cellar.

Liu Yaoyao's heartbeat quickened; this moment had finally arrived.

She quickly put away her "medal" and prepared to greet her "rescue team" with the most elegant attitude.

When the first ray of light penetrated the darkness and shone on her face, she showed a long-lost smile.

As the entrance to the cellar gradually opened, a fresh air mixed with the smell of rain rushed in.

Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if even her soul was cleansed.

She looked up at the gradually expanding light, her eyes flashing with both anticipation and nervousness.

"Hey, my friends up there, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Are you ready to welcome your 'cellar star'?"

Liu Yaoyao shouted in a nonchalant manner, trying to ease the tension in her heart.

As soon as she finished speaking, she found herself laughing and thought.

"This line is too childish, but it doesn't matter, no one will hear it anyway."

However, to her surprise, the sounds coming from above were not the familiar sounds of the crescent moon and full moon.

It was a strange and majestic male voice:

"Listen, everyone below. You have been surrounded by us. Give up resistance and surrender immediately!"

Liu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was probably a misunderstanding.

But she quickly adjusted herself and responded with her signature humorous tone:

"Hey, big brother, did you come to the wrong set? I was caught here, this is not a crime scene. How about you come down to have a look and give me an award?"

As soon as she finished her words, a torch shone directly on her face, forcing her to squint.

Then, several figures in black quickly slid down the ladder and surrounded her.

Although Liu Yaoyao felt a little nervous, she still kept a smile on her face, as if all this was just a performance she had carefully planned.

"Are you Liu Yaoyao?" asked the leading man, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Liu Yaoyao nodded and answered calmly:

"Yes, it's me, but you may be more accustomed to calling me Liu Yaoyao. Excuse me, did Yueya and Yueman send you to rescue me?"

The man's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

But he quickly regained his serious expression and said:

"We don't know the Yueya and Yueman you mentioned. We are the Royal Guards. We have received a report. Please follow me."

Liu Yaoyao felt a warm feeling in her heart and was pulled to move with them.

Behind them, Liu Jingshu gave a smug smirk.
