Cave Refuge-Chapter 227 - 226: Sisterly Heart-to-Heart_1

When Jasmine Anderson saw her sister fall silent, she immediately began to feel nervous: "Sister, you’re not really thinking about leaving, are you? You’re not like those brainless heroines in novels, turning away from a life of luxury to chase after so-called ’freedom’."

Looking at her silent sister, Violet Walker, Jasmine continued to dissuade her: "Sis, I can’t believe you don’t realize this. Even though the weather outside has returned to normal, things out there are probably still chaotic.

We not only have enough to eat and wear here, but we can read and watch movies during our free time. Even more so, for our health, the master has taught us martial arts."

The master treats us so well; you can’t honestly be thinking of leaving."

Seeing Jasmine’s frantic expressions, Violet’s serious demeanor suddenly relaxed. She smiled at Jasmine: "As long as you understand these things, it’s fine. After hearing the master say the outside temperature is back to normal, based on your reaction, I thought it was you who wanted to leave."

Realizing she had just been tested by her sister, Jasmine was a bit annoyed, and retorted: "I’m not an idiot. We have a good life here. There’s no reason to chase the so-called happiness of freedom, especially since we have no family or friends on the outside. If we left here, we’d have nowhere to go.

We used to always stay in Peach Blossom Paradise, and even now we haven’t ventured out due to the weather. I just wanted to see what’s going on outside."

After hearing what Jasmine said, Violet sighed in her heart. She, too, had these thoughts, but she knew that although Dong Tianyu seemed not to restrict their actions, if they left without his permission, she wasn’t certain about how he would react.

Seeing that Dong Tianyu barely spends his nights here, Violet knew that despite his decent treatment towards them, they don’t hold significant importance in his heart.

Perhaps, in Dong Tianyu’s eyes, she and her sister were just fitness equipment. Although Dong Tianyu cherished this equipment, any flaws might trigger his disgust.

Once this equipment is no longer favored, the consequences could be serious. They could be discarded in a corner, forgotten, or even thrown directly into the trash, out of sight.

Violet was well aware that she and her sister, as top-grade ’canaries’ in Peach Blossom Paradise, were purchased at a high price by Dong Tianyu.

Like cars, their value would plummet once they left the store. Although modifications or other methods could increase their value, this required continuous investment from the owner, and the return was disproportionate to the investment.

So, their status in Dong Tianyu’s heart was very important. The more he favored them, the more willing he was to invest in them. Even during the disaster, when others could only expect to eat chaff and swallow vegetables, they could still enjoy a well-balanced diet.

Dong Tianyu even taught them martial arts so that their workout sessions would be more enjoyable.

Although they were considered top-quality ’canaries’ in Peach Blossom Paradise, not to mention learning martial arts, they were not even allowed to touch anything related to it.

Regardless of Dong Tianyu’s inner thoughts, at least he has never mistreated them in his actions. Only someone brain-damaged like Wilson Isabella would turn away from such a good patron to chase the so-called freedom and happiness."

But Violet knew that despite the disparity between reality and drama, if she and her sister tried to test Dong Tianyu’s limits like Jasmine did, they might eventually cross his line.

Regardless of whether it resulted in them being kicked out or returned to Peach Blossom Paradise, it was not the outcome Violet wanted.

So, upon understanding her sister’s thoughts, Violet wore a serious expression and told her sister in a weighty tone: "From now on, stay here safely with me. Don’t go anywhere or even think about it."

Hearing her sister say this, Jasmine immediately whined: "Sis, why? We’ve started our cultivation already. We aren’t the weak women we once were, why can’t we go out and take a stroll?

Besides, I’m just going out to take a walk, I don’t plan on leaving here. The master’s daily visits are pretty regular. As long as I get back before he arrives, wouldn’t everything be fine?" After speaking, Jasmine forcefully punched the air beside her. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Although Jasmine’s punch didn’t produce a whistling sound, it didn’t seem to be a simple punch from a beginner either.

Seeing the prideful expression on Jasmine’s face, Violet, not amused, gave her a flick on the forehead. Her face turned serious, and she said somewhat angrily:

"Have you forgotten everything I just taught you? You think everything is fine, you think it’s fine. When the master is displeased, it’s already too late to mend things.

We’re not wealthy young ladies. We don’t have the luxury of making mistakes like others do. A single error could ruin us forever.

You’ve watched those documentaries shown in Peach Blossom Paradise. If it comes to that, you won’t even have a chance to regret your actions. Do you really want to fall that low?"

Hearing Violet’s words, Jasmine recalled the tragic outcomes of the master’s discarded and despised ’canaries’ depicted in the documentaries she watched. The stark contrast between their miserable life and her current privileged existence sent chills down her spine.

After gaining her composure, Jasmine felt a bit scared. Once she calmed down, she even found her previous thoughts strange. Why would she want to leave here? What was there to see, or where did she want to go?

She had been living in Peach Blossom Paradise all along and hadn’t even truly explored Pengcheng. So why did she suddenly want to leave?

She excused it as wanting to go out and play while Dong Tianyu was away. But it’s common knowledge that when you’re having fun, who’s going to worry about time? Even if she was not discovered the first few times, the more she ventured out, the higher the likelihood of being found out.

Or did she want to escape from here without Dong Tianyu realizing? But where would she go after leaving here?

Noticing her sister’s increasingly chaotic emotions and panicked expressions, Violet immediately moved closer and hugged Jasmine.
