"Uh, another story...?"
Xu Le touched his chest. Although he did not know how Night Fiend had helped him settle those chaotic energies,
judging by the situation, he should have been all right now.
Since he was all right, he naturally had to fulfill Night Fiend's request.
After all, his boss had saved him.
"Since you want a story, boss, I'll definitely oblige. Today, let's tell an ordinary prison story."
"A prison story?" Night Fiend rarely interrupted Xu Le at a time like this.
But when she heard the word prison, her expression changed a little.
Xu Le was very perceptive. He noticed the change immediately and promptly asked,
"What is it? Don't you want to hear a prison story, boss? If you don't like it, I can pick another."
Night Fiend shook her head gently.
"No, I didn't mean I disliked it. Go ahead."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes. Although Night Fiend said that, he still sensed something different.
Perhaps the subject of prison itself held an extraordinary significance for Night Fiend.
After a moment's thought, Xu Le decided to continue with the story he had prepared. Night Fiend had already given her assent; changing it now would have been unnecessary.
"Then let's begin. Today's story is called The Shawshank Redemption."
"Is Shawshank the protagonist?"
"No, Shawshank is the cage."
"Understood."
Xu Le felt that something was a little off about Night Fiend. Compared with her usual silence, she seemed somewhat animated.
Of course, for an ordinary girl, this behavior would still have counted as very quiet.
But for Night Fiend, it really was animated. She spoke much more, and even smiled.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Lord Night Fiend?"
"Before we discuss that, I'm more interested in your story."
"Heh, all right. I'll begin."
