Star Luo City's Heavenly Prison.
The dignified Third Prince of Star Luo City now huddled in a cramped, damp prison cell crawling with filthy vermin.
Dai Mubai's blond hair was disheveled, with several insects faintly visible crawling through it. But he had no heart to clean himself up. Every day, he sank deeper into despair over his impending death by a thousand cuts.
He wanted to kill himself like Zhu Zhuqing, but someone outside watched him closely. Whenever he made a suspicious move, a Big Slap would gently caress his cheek.
Over time, Dai Mubai had been slapped until he had barely any teeth left, and he no longer dared try to kill himself.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were in much the same state, hollow-eyed and hopeless. Several Clones stood guard in the Heavenly Prison.
As the panel kept upgrading, earning Emotion Points no longer required taunting someone to their face. As long as they bore deep resentment toward Bai Ranmo or his Clones, any Clone within a one-kilometer radius could absorb their Emotion Points.
Dai Weisi had delayed their execution by a month to drive Dai Mubai mad before it happened. It also gave Bai Ranmo time to absorb Emotion Points.
Just as the Shrek Three Heroes teetered on the brink of despair, the doors of the Heavenly Prison opened again.
This time, one of Dai Weisi's trusted aides came in personally, followed by several men pushing an enormous iron cage draped in red cloth. Faint, inhuman growls came from inside.
"Did Dai Weisi send you to humiliate me?"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, but he did not dare grit his teeth. He had so few left that he feared a few more would fall out if he did.
"Whatever do you mean, Third Prince?" Dai Weisi's aide smiled.
