A commanding tone.
Xie Lingqin tightened her grip, raised her head slightly, and the next moment, her words were soft and charming like never before, "Young master, this servant will certainly serve you well."
Xie Lingqin originally intended to use this as a pretext to subdue the man and escape, but unexpectedly, the white-clad man in front of her seemed somewhat displeased with her words.
Even though he didn't show anything particularly unusual, she just felt that he seemed to dislike her.
Isn't she beautiful or alluring enough?
"Young Master..."
Xie Lingqin gave another soft, coquettish reproach.
Huh!
Upon hearing her words, the man seemed even more displeased.
As Xie Lingqin was pondering this, the man in white suddenly raised his hand, cupped her face, and looked at her coldly and indifferently, "Get into bed."
Go to bed...
The world spun around her, and with just a flick of her finger, Xie Lingqin was already lying on that enormous, soft donkey-hide mat.
As soon as she lay down, her beautiful clothes were spread out on the floor in layers, hazy and indistinct.
The man bent down.
Springtime is beautiful, but it's also poisonous.
The man's expression changed drastically as soon as he touched Xie Lingqin's waist. Xie Lingqin then noticed that the white-clad man's fingers were rapidly turning black.
"Hmph, serves her right." Xie Lingqin was not surprised.
She had felt that the clothes were not right just now, and when the man in red named Gusu brought her here, he held her arm the whole time but never changed his position, which made her even more certain.
Seeing the man's apparent pain, Xie Lingqin struggled to sit up and kicked him, yelling, "You pervert!"
The man in white didn't seem angry even after being kicked.
Xie Lingqin was wondering what was going on when she suddenly heard a series of crackling sounds outside, followed by a burst of sparks and flames.
"They're going to burn this house down!" Xie Lingqin exclaimed in alarm. In her panic, she discovered that her strength had returned. Glancing at the person still staring at her finger, Xie Lingqin had no time to pay attention to them.
The best course of action is to flee; jump out the back window and leave.
We need to find Bai Yu first and have him take her away.
She has a very good memory; she remembers the way she just walked.
Behind them, the fire grew stronger and stronger. Inside the house, the white-clad man sitting on the donkey-hide cushion looked at the swaying flowers outside the window, then at the shoulder that had just been kicked. Beneath the mask, a faint smile seemed to flash across his deep, cold eyes.
Outside the door, flames flickered and the fire drew near, but he calmly got up and removed a fake leather from his blackened fingers.
Then came the perfectly intact hand, with knuckles as smooth as jade.
The next instant, they vanished without a trace.
...
Xie Lingqin ran for a long time following the path, then heard the sounds of fighting ahead, and looked at her own clothes.
She was wearing these clothes but wasn't poisoned, which clearly meant that the man in red had given her the antidote.
However, I need to find some clothes to change into.
Xie Lingqin pushed open the door of a nearby room, found a cloak and put it on, then headed towards the sound of fighting. Not long after, she saw Bai Yu running over in a disheveled state. Bai Yu looked at her, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then was about to pass by her.
I……
"Bai Yu," Xie Lingqin called out to him.
Bai Yu was taken aback, then came to his senses and looked up and down at the charming and beautiful woman in front of him.
"you……"
"Stop talking to me, this place is no place to stay, let's get out of here." Xie Lingqin was too lazy to argue with him and directly revealed her usual male voice.
Bai Yu's pupils contracted, seemingly still somewhat taken aback. Her face, smeared with a trace of bruise, looked exceptionally beautiful at this moment. "Yan Yan... She... you're a woman."
"I'm pretending to be a woman." Xie Lingqin couldn't understand why Bai Yu was so curious at this time. Hearing the footsteps not far ahead, and looking around, she didn't say anything more and pulled Bai Yu into the room next door.
Then, quickly close the door.
Outside, footsteps approached, loud and clear, searched thoroughly, and then quickly disappeared into the distance.
However, the two did not relax and turned around quickly almost simultaneously.
Because they sensed someone was in the room, and by the light of the sunlight, they could see that the person was a middle-aged man sitting on the floor, leaning against a chair, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a knife stabbed into his abdomen.
"Could it be that he was also harmed by that palace master?" Bai Yu stepped forward.
Xie Lingqin remained silent, only gesturing for Bai Yu to stay away from her, saying, "My clothes are poisoned."
Bai Yu glanced at her, wanting to ask her why she was behaving this way, but also knowing how to ask.
"I...I am the true master of the Underworld..."
As their eyes met, the seriously injured man spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ling was slightly startled. "You're saying you're the master of the Yama King's Palace?"
"Yes...yes."
Xie Lingqin stepped forward, somewhat anxiously, "Then why did you send someone to kill the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?"
"The eldest daughter of the General's Mansion? Uh, yes..." Before the man could finish speaking, a flying needle flew in through the window, and he died instantly.
Xie Lingqin had just realized it when the so-called legitimate Lord of the Underworld Palace had already breathed his last.
“Something’s not right. If this is the real Lord of the Underworld, then who was the one I stole the Eastern Ding from before?” Bai Yu felt something was amiss and looked suspiciously at the middle-aged man in front of him. He immediately signaled Xie Lingqin to leave.
Xie Lingqin was very unwilling, so she raised her hand and searched the middle-aged man's body.
"Hey, what are you looking for? At a time like this, you're still thinking about robbing people?" Bai Yu's face was almost red with anger.
Xie Lingqin had already withdrawn her hand at this point.
