"Pah... Give me your hand..." Xie Yu spat in Yu Liuli's face.
"Oh~ you have a fiery temper, I like that..." Yu Liuli looked Xie Yu up and down with a sly smile, especially his eyes sweeping over Xie Yu's chest in a lewd manner.
This disgusted Xie Yu so much that he was almost ready to hit someone. Seeing this, Su Yan immediately tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to make any rash moves.
Xie Yu glanced at Su Yan, quickly regained her composure, but her anger had not subsided.
"Master Yu, these two batches of goods are quite good, aren't they? I got them from Jiangnan, and they cost me a fortune..."
The slave trader standing next to Yu Liuli fawned, his mouth practically stretched to his ears with a grin, his tail wagging behind him.
Yu Liuli nodded in satisfaction, "The Pavilion Master was just worried about not finding a thank-you gift. As long as I present these two beauties, let's see what Qinglong will rely on to stir up trouble in front of the Pavilion Master in the future..."
"Then Master Yu will be rising to great heights from now on, don't forget your humble servant..."
Yu Liuli was flattered by the slave trader and was so happy she was practically floating on air. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she said smugly, "Don't worry, if you follow me, Yu Liuli, you'll have plenty of fun and happiness."
After saying that, he shifted his gaze to Su Yan and Xie Yu, and waved to the people beside him, "Go and wash my two little darlings clean, I can't wait to see the Sect Master..."
The servants beside them immediately stepped forward and helped Su Yan and Xie Yu to leave the house.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.
Su Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people dressed in black seemingly dragging something toward the house.
Just then, Su Yan brushed past the person dressed in black. She saw Ye Lian's face and was startled.
Unexpectedly, after only two days apart, Ye Lian had already been tormented to the point of near death.
However, Su Yan was taken away soon after, and it is unknown what happened when she returned.
Ye Lian was dragged into the house in a daze. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Su Yan dressed as a woman. She was so frightened that she opened her eyes wide and kept making muffled noises, as if she wanted to say something.
But the others didn't understand what she was trying to say and just watched Su Yan leave.
Ye Lian was thrown directly in front of Yu Liuli by the man in black. The force of the throw was so great that Ye Lian let out a muffled groan when her body hit the ground.
Upon seeing Ye Lian, Yu Liuli's initially cheerful smile instantly turned into a chilling expression, like a venomous snake lurking in the night, as if she were about to bite off his neck at any moment.
"Alas... what a misfortune for our family!"
Yu Liuli looked at Ye Lian lying on the ground and sighed helplessly. She sat on the chair and looked at her from a high position.
"Lian'er, I've treated you well, so why did you go behind my back and get involved with Qinglong..."
After saying that, Yu Liuli suddenly sprang up, picked up the teacup beside her, and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Waaaaah... I... Waaaah..."
Ye Lian's face was filled with fear, she made hoarse screams, and tears streamed down her face.
To be honest, Ye Lian was quite wronged. That day, Bai Yunfei led the constables to cause a ruckus at Zuishengmengsi, which allowed Shen Yao to escape by sheer luck.
Originally, she was afraid that Qinglong would complain that she had messed up her job, but unexpectedly, Yu Liuli's subordinates happened to witness her and Qinglong talking quietly in the back garden.
Yu Liuli is inherently suspicious and has a violent temper. She is an extremely insidious smiling tiger. No matter how Ye Lian explains, once the seed of suspicion is planted, it cannot be easily eradicated.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't tell me I don't know about all the tricks I used?" Yu Liuli suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Lian's neck, saying with a sinister expression.
"Waaaaah..."
Ye Lian was so frightened that she dared not move, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. She knew that Yu Liuli was a ruthless and cold-hearted person, and if she resisted, she would not get the slightest benefit.
"It's a pity, I've always liked you..." Yu Liuli shook her head helplessly, her expression full of sorrow.
The hand gripping Ye Lian's neck gradually loosened its pressure, and Ye Lian gradually felt her breathing become weak. Her legs kicked and struggled incessantly.
Yu Liuli, however, looked pained, large tears streaming down her cheeks, but there was no trace of grief in her eyes, as if she were indulging in the pleasure of the torture.
A short while later, Ye Lian stopped struggling, her pupils dilated and her eyes bulged, staring intently at the ground where Su Yan had just left, her eyes wide open in death.
Yu Liuli stood up, her face full of disgust. She took the handkerchief handed to her by the person next to her, wiped her hands repeatedly, and then covered Ye Lian's face with it. She said coldly, "Chop her up and feed her to the dogs... What bad luck."
After saying that, Yu Liuli, while fiddling with walnuts and singing a little tune with a look of blissful intoxication, left the scene of the murder, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
Yu Liuli sang a melodious and lingering tune, but in the empty corridor, it sounded like a death knell.
"I have a love story to tell you all~ Please, everyone~ Quiet down, calm your hearts..."
Let me sing a song about the Qinhuai River, to tell you all its stories in detail. The Qinhuai River flows gently from the time of Pangu to the present day...
The beauty of Jiangnan and the elegance of Nanjing... The spacious and deep halls of Zhan Garden... The rippling waters of Bailuzhou, a paradise on earth...
The singing in the corridor gradually faded, and Yu Liuli's figure gradually disappeared into the distance. In the endless twilight, the Jiangnan folk song added a touch of coolness to the scenery.
………………
Su Yan and Xie Yu were taken to a room and locked up. Although their hands and feet were not tied, there were more guards at the door.
After Su Yan saw Ye Lian, she felt uneasy and anxious in her room, fearing that her identity would be exposed.
Because Shen Yao had inquired about the situation of "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" beforehand, he didn't know who Ye Lian had offended, and that she was no longer in "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death".
That's why Su Yan dared to sneak in without worry, but she never expected to encounter Ye Lian again.
Xie Yu watched Su Yan pacing back and forth in the room, crossing her legs with a look of disgust. "Can you stop walking around? We've already sneaked in, and so far no one suspects our identities. What are you doing pacing back and forth?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know, that madam just saw me. If she tells us about how I sneaked into the 'Drunken Dream' place that day, we'll both be exposed..."
Xie Yu shook her head helplessly, took out the steamed bun that was decorating her chest, and took a big bite. "I'm telling you, you're just worrying for nothing. Didn't you see how she looked? It's not certain she'll even survive tomorrow. Just relax and think about where we'll be sent..."
"have no idea……"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu immediately objected, "You know nothing and you still dared to sneak in? You're not afraid of death, but I am! You still haven't told me the truth, how did I become the sucker who got on this pirate ship..."
Xie Yu already regretted agreeing to be an undercover agent for Shen Yao enough, but now she had to pretend to be a woman. At this moment, Xie Yu was filled with regret...
Whenever I think about it, I want to beat myself to death for being that version of myself.
