Chapter 59, Mutual Destruction
"But that person is my uncle's daughter. Who knows if my uncle will be blinded by family ties and suddenly want his daughter to follow in his footsteps instead of adopting her as his nephew?"
Clearly, it wasn't just Zhong Bingxuan who noticed the man's insincerity; Manli, a woman who was more familiar with him, understood his true nature even better, and every word she uttered was directed at him.
Zhong Bingxuan came here to complete a dungeon, and the Wen family's daughter even stole her teammates, so she had no reason to care about this matter. She was hoping that Manli would use even more cunning methods to provoke Wen Changxing into going after Wen Yuelan, the Wen family's daughter.
Manli did not disappoint Zhong Bingxuan. With just a few words, she angered Wen Changxing, who stormed off to the largest room in the Wen family home.
Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Manli smiled smugly and followed behind Wen Changxing, telling him to calm down and that his uncle wasn't that kind of person.
However, Wen Changxing's face was covered with dark clouds, showing no sign of dissipating. Manli's words were more like adding fuel to the fire, and had no calming effect whatsoever.
These people had no chance of passing through Zhong Bingxuan's territory. Fearing she would lose them, she quickly followed, only to witness a good show.
"Wen Yuelan, you ugly woman, come out here."
"Young master, young lady is getting married soon and it is inconvenient for her to come out."
The nanny next to Manli tried to stop the enraged Wen Changxing, but was kicked away by Wen Changxing.
"You're just a lowly nanny in our family. What right do you have to stop me? Wen Yuelan, stop pretending to be dead and come out here right now."
"Wen Changxing, why aren't you out fooling around? What are you doing here acting crazy?"
A clear and melodious female voice came from the room. It was obviously Wen Yuelan herself. Just by listening to her voice, one would subconsciously imagine the appearance of an unparalleled beauty. Zhong Bingxuan couldn't help but think the same way.
But the next moment, Wen Changxing angrily kicked open Wen Yuelan's door, revealing the figure waiting to be married inside. Zhong Bingxuan remained silent.
It's no joke that he's big and strong. Zhong Bingxuan estimated that he weighed about 300 pounds and was at least 2 meters tall. Even for a man, that's not short, let alone a woman. In addition, Wen Yuelan was also fat, which gave people the illusion of being a huge person. No wonder he was ridiculed by outsiders.
Zhong Bingxuan subconsciously compared Fu Yucheng's monstrous appearance with Wen Yuelan's bloated appearance in front of her, and suddenly felt sympathy for Fu Yucheng.
Given Fu Yucheng's thin build, he would surely be crushed to death by Wen Yuelan. His death would be too tragic. After all, they were teammates, so it's important to rescue him as soon as possible.
"Ah!! That bastard Wen Changxing, he actually broke my door! I'm not finished with you!"
Gone was the clear and pleasant female voice from before; this voice was piercing and extremely penetrating. Zhong Bingxuan felt warm liquid flowing from her ears, and her ears were ringing constantly.
Next time, we must prepare some treatment medicine; she completely forgot about something so important.
Because of Zhong Bingxuan's innate abilities, she didn't waste her points on healing potions, which meant that after being injured, she had no usable potions and could only grit her teeth and save the person.
Of course, Zhong Bingxuan also had a Black Gold Limb-Severing and Life-Sustaining Pill in her hand, which would be more than enough to treat minor tinnitus, but it was too wasteful for her to part with it.
Anyway, once I get back on the train, my injuries will be fully healed, so there's no need to waste a life-saving drug.
Peng Peng~
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Bingxuan witnessed a scene of a female tyrant beating up a backbone man.
Wen Changxing wasn't thin, but compared to Wen Yuelan's massive figure, he looked as frail as a white bone demon. He was overpowered and beaten by Wen Yuelan, and the decorations of the nearby houses were all smashed by Wen Yuelan, making it look like a disaster scene, not at all like the house of a bride-to-be.
The nannies and maids around the house saw that the young lady's wedding day had been made such a mess of her place. What would the relatives and friends who came to give gifts think of the young lady's room when it was in such a mess? The young lady already had a terrible reputation, so what would those gossipy people say about her?
They were all in a panic, trying to stop the young lady and young master from fighting, but due to their own poor fighting skills, they were slapped away by Wen Yuelan.
Being a worker is tough, money is hard to earn, and you get beaten up just for coming to work.
While the two were fighting, Zhong Bingxuan pulled away the maid who had been knocked unconscious by Wen Yuelan, transformed into her appearance, and shouted, "Miss, I'm here to protect you."
In reality, he rushed to Wen Yuelan's side, and using her momentum, flew backward into Wen Yuelan's room, successfully avoiding the attention of others.
It was troublesome, but it didn't attract attention, giving Zhong Bingxuan plenty of time to search for Fu Yuchen.
Wen Yuelan's room was decorated with red silk, and a large double happiness character was pasted on the window.
Zhong Bingxuan looked around but didn't see anyone else. She wondered if there was a secret room or something similar, so she felt around on the wall but couldn't find any buttons or mechanisms.
Where is that person? Under the bed?
Zhong Bingxuan thought of strange incidents, the most common being murders under the bed. She would crawl down to look for someone, but then she would become too scared to move.
There was a white candle under the bed, emitting a dim yellow light.
According to the second rule for wedding banquet guests: red lanterns are used when moving and white candles are stopped when moving. Please abide by this rule.
Zhong Bingxuan is now in a dilemma. If she retreats, it would be considered a movement, which does not conform to the principle of stopping the white candles. Does this violate the rules of death and result in her being marked by a strange mark?
But if she remained motionless and squatted there while the fighting outside ended, it would be improper for a lowly servant like her to stay there instead of going out. It would arouse suspicion and she would likely face certain death.
Zhong Bingxuan was about to take a gamble. Success would be best, but failure would just mean dying once. It wasn't like she hadn't died before. Then she saw the white candle flickering and its color changing from white to red. She had a guess in her mind, took a deep breath, and forcefully exhaled, blowing out the white candle.
The instant the white candle went out, just as Zhong Bingxuan had predicted, the candle turned red, and the area under the bed became pitch black.
With the prerequisite for death broken, Zhong Bingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when the floor beneath her suddenly cracked open, swallowing her whole.
The strange things outside continued their bizarre antics, making a huge racket, completely unaware that someone had secretly slipped inside.
At this moment, Zhong Bingxuan was so angry she wanted to curse. It was bad enough that the mechanism was set under the bed, but the way it was activated was so bizarre that it was impossible to guard against. Her old back almost broke.
There are no stairs here, which is strange because you don't need to go down stairs; you can just fly down directly, so there's no need to set them up.
Once the pain in her lower back subsided, Zhong Bingxuan stood up and looked around.
The surrounding environment was too dark, and Zhong Bingxuan had no lighting tools, so she walked forward in the dark.
Not far away, one by one, the lights spontaneously combusted, startling Zhong Bingxuan, who feared she might encounter a situation like what had happened under the bed earlier.
Fortunately, there are only red candles here, not a single white one, so Zhong Bingxuan doesn't have to worry about violating the rules of death.
Fu Yucheng should be locked up here. Zhong Bingxuan became more alert and strode forward.
The journey was unexpectedly smooth. Perhaps the eerie way of starting the trap made it too bizarre for anyone to notice anything amiss, so no traps were set in the basement, which benefited Zhong Bingxuan.
