[Successfully moved Li Zishan's body to the Zi Ning Mansion's official residence. Reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill.]
[Bonus: Reduces the abstinence period by 30 years.]
The Marrow Cleansing Pill can transform a person's physique, making them stronger.
However, the benefits that a single Marrow Cleansing Pill brings to Bian Lang are certainly not comparable to the power gained over tens of thousands of years.
After the abstinence period was reduced by thirty years, there are currently fifty years left to abstain from pornography.
If each successful corpse-driving can reduce the abstinence period by several decades, then after one or two more corpse-drivings, the abstinence period can be successfully ended.
However, given Corpse Brother's nature, he'll become stingy towards the end of his abstinence period.
Sometimes, completing a corpse-transportation mission only reduces the abstinence period by a few days; even the Corpse Brothers are capable of doing such things.
The night was deep and quiet, and all was still.
Bian Lang could hear Li Meng's conversation with the servants in the front hall clearly.
Bian Lang's ability to storm into the city demonstrates his formidable strength. Li Meng, lacking confidence in eliminating Bian Lang, sent his servants to invite a highly skilled individual.
Once that expert arrives, it will be time for Bian Lang to pay with his life.
Before that, we must treat them to good food and wine, and absolutely not let Bian Lang leave.
Bian Lang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
Now that he has completed the corpse-transportation, he will get a good night's sleep and set off at dawn to return to the capital to reunite with Shangguan Hongyu.
If Li Mengzhen is convinced that he killed Li Zishan, he can come to the capital to find him.
Anyway, if he wants to leave, no one in this world can stop him.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
Not long after falling asleep, Bian Lang was awakened by a low sobbing sound.
Opening his eyes, he saw that there was already light outside the window. Bian Lang rubbed his eyes, realizing that he wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep in this government office.
Bian Lang followed the sound and soon arrived at a dark dungeon.
The one crying was a young girl in a green dress.
The girl in green was locked in an iron cage, which contained various daily necessities. The bedding was all new, and the cold food next to her looked quite appetizing.
Many wealthy young men enjoy abducting women, keeping them in their mansions, and enjoying them at their leisure.
But this is the city's public office, and yet someone would do such a thing.
Bian Lang coughed lightly and asked, "Miss, who locked you up here?"
"Don't come any closer, you..." The girl in green suddenly looked up, her delicate face filled with terror, holding a sharp shard of porcelain bowl in her hand, gently pressing it against her throat.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady, I can get you out of here."
"Go away..." The girl in green didn't believe Bian Lang's nonsense.
Bian Lang didn't leave, but said, "Could it be that old lecher Li Meng locked you up?"
The girl in green bit her lip and stopped talking.
Bian Lang sighed and said, "If you've figured it out, shout it here. I can hear you from outside. But I'll leave Zi Ning Mansion in two hours at most."
Seeing that the girl still didn't respond, Bian Lang turned and left.
Not long after Bian Lang left, Li Meng opened the door and came in, his expression cold and sinister.
Just as the girl in green was about to put the porcelain shard down, she quickly gripped it even tighter.
“Yunxiu, Zishan likes you a lot, he really likes you. Otherwise, he would have taken you by force instead of locking you up and waiting for you to change your mind…” Li Meng was carrying a pot of wine in his hand. After entering, he sat down on the ground with a thud.
His cheeks were very red, clearly indicating that he had drunk quite a bit before coming here.
The girl in green angrily said, "Li Meng, as an official of the imperial court, you condone that beast Li Zishan's rampant misbehavior. Aren't you afraid of Her Majesty the Empress...?"
“You say this every time I come. Is it interesting?” Li Meng sarcastically remarked.
It's boring, really boring.
This empire is so vast that even though the empress loves her people like her own children, there are still too many people living in dire straits far from the capital.
Li Meng gulped down a few more mouthfuls and laughed, "I have some good news to tell you, but it's bad news for me, though it's good news for you."
Yunxiu's body trembled violently, and her hands could barely hold onto the porcelain shard. Because she couldn't control her strength, the shard had pierced her delicate skin, and blood was seeping out.
“Zishan is dead,” Li Meng said, his voice trembling with tears.
Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, then put down the porcelain shard and burst into shrill laughter.
Is Li Zishan dead?
Heaven has truly opened its eyes!
“In addition, there is good news: I will make you be buried with Zishan, and you will soon be free,” Li Meng said.
Although Yunxiu was smiling, her face was covered in tears.
The two pieces of news that Li Meng brought were both incredibly good news.
After finishing the wine, Li Meng staggered away.
Yunxiu put down the porcelain shards, grabbed the cold food, and began to wolf it down.
If one is going to die, one should never die of starvation.
After she finished eating, she thought of her parents who were still waiting for her to come home. She suddenly realized that dying like this would be a relief for her, but it would definitely be a great pain for her parents.
"Are you still there? Can you really take me away?" Yunxiu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked loudly.
She felt like she was shouting very loudly, but it was more like she was muttering to herself.
"I...I want to live, I..." Yunxiu couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.
During her days in captivity, she spent every day in tears. She thought she had cried all her tears out, but when she was truly heartbroken, the tears would still flow like a flood, incredibly fierce.
Not long after, Bian Lang reappeared in front of her.
"Can you really take me away?" That was all Yunxiu cared about.
