Chapter 605: Schadenfreude

Ning Cuo suddenly opened his sharp narrow eyes upon hearing the voice. Instead of seeing Xiao Tu, he saw Ning Liuyun. His whole face instantly became gloomy and terrifying. "Why are you here? Where is my little rabbit?"

Ning Liuyun, who was rubbing his body furiously with nausea, immediately shrank his neck upon seeing this. "You ask me, how would I know? Wasn't she just being affectionate with you? I only dared to come down from upstairs because I saw you were the only one left in the building!"

Ning Cuo's sharp eyebrows moved, "Someone come here!"

A murderous figure immediately descended from outside the house, "Master!"

Ning Cuo glanced over and asked, "Have you seen the Madam?"

The leader of the secret guards shook his head, "No, our men are all guarding outside, and the lady hasn't come out of the building!"

Ning Liuyun walked up curiously and asked, "If he didn't go out, then why did he disappear?"

He said, looking at Ning Cuo with a smile, "Is your wife trying to play hide-and-seek with you?"

Ning Cuo didn't answer, but just raised his narrow eyes and glanced around.

He carefully sensed for a moment, and apart from the rustling sound of the wind, there was no one in the entire building at the moment!

Ning Cuo raised his eyebrows, then suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and rushed towards a place inside the building.

The leader of the secret guards was stunned when he saw this and looked at Ning Liuyun, "Master, what are you doing?"

Ning Liuyun shrugged, "I don't know, but since the master hasn't called us, we are no longer needed. You can go down first!"

The leader thought so too, and the man nodded and disappeared!

Ning Liuyun stood there at the moment, touching his chin with his hand and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Your expression has changed. Do you think something happened to Xiao Tu?

This is impossible. What kind of place is this? Inside and outside, there are so many people guarding it. Who has such ability? "

Thinking of this, Ning Liuyun's fox eyes flashed, "How about I go over and take a look, yes, take a look~"

A few minutes ago.

When Xiao Tu saw the man close his eyes, she slipped away with a smile, and the direction she slipped away was naturally the place where Gongde had marked the arrow for her just now.

She hadn't paid attention to Ning Cuo's fuss just now, but now that she had freed herself, she naturally wanted to go and see what was going on.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tu looked forward and saw Gongde happily changing various signs to point the way ahead, which made her full of surprise.

These little creatures were specially left outside by her in the past few days to be brought to Ning Cuo. They seemed normal in the past two days, but unexpectedly, they all seemed to "come back to life" today after being stimulated by Ning Cuo.

Now he seems particularly excited and wants to take her to see someone do something bad. He jumps around from time to time, as if he is gloating!

Xiao Tu didn't know why these little guys were so interested in revealing Ningcuo's past. Is it because good and evil are innately incompatible?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tu smiled, but when he looked at this group of people with merits, there was a deeper meaning in his eyes!

As the light around him dimmed, Xiao Tu followed the guidance of the little guys and went down all the way, finally arriving at a hidden secret room.

Xiao Tu raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and then she walked straight in. Then, she saw very clearly that in the gloomy environment of the room, there was an altar standing tall.

The whole structure is polished from huge black stones. Its smooth surface exudes a faint coldness. Strange dark green flames are burning around it, flickering unsteadily, like jumping ghosts.

Many iron chains hung from the beams above, and at the end of the chains hung a huge furnace tripod, engraved with complicated characters like talismans. The fonts were strange and twisted, like a living thing twisting, making people feel uncomfortable at first glance.

Xiao Tu's face darkened slightly when she saw this. Although she didn't know what these things were going to do, she could see that everything here was definitely not a good thing!

What is this bastard Ning Cuo trying to do?

Are they going to hold some kind of shoe teaching ceremony?

Xiao Tu's face darkened as he thought about it. When did this bad guy create such a place?

Why are you doing this secretly behind her back?

If you don't keep an eye on him for a while, he'll do something weird to you!

Xiao Tu thought with a frown, and glanced around.

She discovered that in addition to these eerie things in the room, there were also various herbs with strong medicinal fragrance placed on the pillars around the altar.

Among them was a large, fat, white ginseng, which was emitting a lustrous light all over its body. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary one!

"Could this be the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng that Xiao Ming mentioned? Why is it placed here?"

Looking at other extraordinary medicines like Big Fat Ginseng, there are hundreds of them, each of which is rare in the world!

The more Xiao Tu looked at it, the more confused he became. "With so many medicines, are they preparing to make pills?"

Just as she was wondering, a gust of wind blew in from outside, and a gorgeous figure appeared before her.

Ning Cuo flew down at such a fast speed that he almost used the fastest speed in his life.

Unfortunately, he seems to be a step too late!

Xiao Tu narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Husband, you came so quickly?"

Ning Cuo couldn't see anything wrong, so he walked up to her, hugged her, and said with a smile, "How dare you say that, little thing? You tricked me into closing my eyes, but then you ran away. Don't you have anything to say?"

Xiao Tu said slowly, "I just teased my husband because he was so cute, but he noticed I was missing and chased me here. Did you know I was here, or were you afraid that I would show up here?"

Ning Cuo's gorgeous eyes shone with a smile. "This attic is now full of secret guards. If Madam had gone out, someone would have reported it. Since Madam didn't go out and we can't find you inside the building, you can only be here."

Xiao Tu smiled, "So, you are admitting that you knew about this basement all along, or is this yours?"

Ning Cuo smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's not mine!"

Xiao Tu pointed to a ginseng plant in the room and said, "Hey, what is that? Oh, it's the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng that the Miao people presented to my husband."

Ning Cuo, “…”

Xiao Tu glanced at him, folded her hands over her chest, and smiled menacingly, "Come on, husband, tell me what you are going to do here, don't leak a single word~"

Ning Cuo's smile froze a little, "...This place is indeed mine. As for its use, it is used to refine special elixirs!"

Xiao Tu watched as the merits above the man's head transformed into a large X, and gave him a fake smile without the slightest surprise, "Husband, are you sizing me up to see if I can't tell that this place is set up as an altar?"

As he said that, his smile disappeared and he said, "Say it again!"

Ning Cuo said, "...It's an altar. This is where we sacrifice to our clansmen!"

Xiao Tu snorted, "Why put so many medicinal herbs in the place where you offer sacrifices to your clansmen? Are you afraid that the sacrifices will get boring, so you use the ashes of your clansmen to make some pills?"

Ning Cuo, “…”
