"Crackle, crackle—"
In a palace whose decoration exudes the word "luxury" everywhere, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, after seeing the tea brought by the maid, was so arrogant that she knocked the tea to the ground, making a loud noise.
Seeing this, the maids immediately knelt and kowtowed, even breathing cautiously. Even so, the woman seemed to become even angrier, standing up and walking down from the chair covered with white tiger fur.
When her foot was about to step on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the kneeling maid noticed this scene with her sharp eyes. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and her hands moved quickly. She quickly pinched the magic formula to crush the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. After the woman's foot left, only shallow shoe prints were left on the powder on the floor.
The kneeling maids breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, as if they had escaped a disaster. Once the woman entered the inner hall, they quietly stood up, tidied up their surroundings meticulously, and then quietly left.
The chaise longue in the inner hall of the palace was also covered with the fur of an unknown monster. The fur had no smell and even had a pleasant fragrance that was refreshing. The woman who entered the inner hall was lying on the chaise longue, her intricate and gorgeous dress flowing from the chair to the ground, extremely gorgeous.
But there was no joy on the woman's face, as if she was troubled by some huge worry.
"Host, this is the eighth set of tea sets you've smashed since you woke up," the system said in agony. "You may not know how rare, precious, and beautiful those tea sets are... This is nothing, but what were you trying to do by deliberately stepping on those broken pieces of porcelain just now?"
"I wanted to try and see if the person who came to capture me after I was injured would show up." Yan Baibai placed his hand on his forehead and sighed helplessly, "But those maids are too alert. They could have discovered this."
"Can't you be more alert? Remember the first time you put the hairpin to your neck, they both disappeared for a while. When they came back, their cultivation had dropped several levels." The system felt that its host was really good at this, so it asked, "Host, tell me, where did you learn these tricks?"
"On TV, didn't the person behind the scenes come out as soon as the heroine threatened her own life?" Yan Baibai said as if it was a matter of course. After all, the treatment she received after waking up made her suspect that the person behind her had some plans for her.
"...Host, you really shouldn't be so stupid. You are not the heroine, you are just a tool!" The system was extremely helpless, but more distressed. It felt that it had to do something to help the host out of the current predicament.
If time wasn't running out, Yan Baibai would never resort to such means, but with her current abilities, in the face of absolute power, no tricks would work.
The system wanted to tell Yan Baibai directly from the beginning that the person who arrested him was Venerable Yuetong, but after it was silenced the first time it spoke, it realized that the conditions for telling the host had not yet been met.
As for what the conditions were, the system referred to the previous conditions about "Wu Pin" and immediately made a rough guess - the host and Yuetong had spent too little time together.
The first time was in a dream, and the time was very short; the second time, the host fainted and did not even see who brought her here.
At first, Yan Baibai thought it was Wu Pin, but when she asked the maids, they just shook their heads. When she asked the maids who was behind the person, the maids pretended to be deaf again and ignored her. So Yan Baibai got angry, and that's when the series of events that followed happened.
Every time there is a plan from the top, there is a counter-plan from the bottom.
After that, no sharp objects were seen in the palace where Yan Baibai lived. The tables and chairs were all round. After Yan Baibai discovered this, he tried to hit the pillars with his head. After using a certain amount of force, strange spells suddenly appeared on the pillars, and the originally hard pillars became as soft as cotton...
Yan Baibai understood at that time that the person behind the scenes had already made plans to guard against him completely, but why the other party had been hiding and not showing up was a question that Yan Baibai couldn't figure out.
It soon became dark, and just when Yan Baibai was about to repeat her old plan, the system stopped her.
"Host, eat well. I have calculated that your chance to escape has come."
The maids who were originally trembling with fear breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yan Baibai eating quietly. After seeing Yan Baibai wash and rest attentively, they could no longer hide the excitement on their faces.
The Venerable said that as long as one serves his wife well, he will be given the opportunity to enter the "Ghost Crying Cave" to cultivate. Such an opportunity is not so easily granted. For a ghost cultivator, entering the Ghost Crying Cave once is no different from a cultivator who has unexpectedly ascended to a higher realm. Even if there is no enlightenment, there is absolutely no harm.
When the lights in the inner hall were turned off, all the maids suppressed their excitement and quietly retreated.
In the darkness, Yan Baibai suppressed his excitement and sat up straight in silence.
Without the system's instructions, Yan Baibai saw the moonlight leaking in and understood what the system meant by "timing".
In the inner hall, there was a window with a crack open, and the moonlight shining in was extremely obvious.
"System, it seems someone wants me to get out."
The corners of Yan Baibai's lips curled up, looking unusually cunning even in the darkness. Seeing Yan Baibai like this, the system breathed a sigh of relief. The host's intelligence, which had disappeared for a long time, had finally returned.
Yan Baibai quickly got up and changed her clothes. She wanted to wear something that would make it easier for her to move around, but after a quick look, she realized that she didn't find what she wanted. She could only pick up the simplest style and put it on, then she easily climbed over the window holding her skirt.
