Chapter 81: Leaving for the Southern Dusk Empire (2)

The two humans and two beasts knocked out all the guards they encountered and came to a courtyard.

“Master, it’s here.”

Bang!

“What’s this? It tastes disgusting. Make another one!”

“Miss…”

Before Leng Ruoxue and the others approached the room, they heard the sound of things being smashed and Fu Mingzhu scolding a maidservant.

Then the door opened, and the maidservant walked out. Leng Ruoxue and the others quickly hid in the dark.

After the maidservant walked away, Leng Ruoxue immediately pushed open the door of Fu Mingzhu’s room and walked in while she set up a barrier at the same time.

“Why are you back so soon?

“It’s you?” Fu Mingzhu looked up only to see Leng Ruoxue. She glared at Leng Ruoxue with intense hatred and jealousy.

“Miss Fu, do you still remember me?” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently as her beautiful eyes stared at Fu Mingzhu’s beautiful face. It seems that the crystal honey was effective. There aren’t any scars left at all.

“Hmph! I’d remember you even if you turned to ashes!” Fu Mingzhu said resentfully. She had always wanted to seek revenge on this simpleton, but now Leng Ruoxue actually came knocking on her door.

Fu Mingzhu absolutely hated Leng Ruoxue, especially after knowing the latter’s identity. The discrepancy in her heart was so great that she couldn’t accept what happened at all, so it was even harder for her to tolerate Leng Ruoxue’s existence. And that stinky fox actually dared to scratch her face. If not for her father trying his best to get her some crystal honey, her beautiful appearance would have been ruined. Hmph! After I deal with Leng Ruoxue, I’ll go deal with that damn fox.

“I didn’t expect to leave such a deep impression on you!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Fu Mingzhu’s hatred was written all over her face. Compared with Xu Na’er, she was far too naive. It was apparent from this that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. The more delicate a woman looked, the more inconspicuously malicious she would be.

“Of course!” Fu Mingzhu gritted her teeth hatefully.

“And you actually have the audacity to come to my house!” Fu Mingzhu smiled sinisterly as a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. Since you’re here, don’t even think about going back.

“Why not? Is your home a tiger’s den? Why can’t I come?” Leng Ruoxue’s face was full of confusion.

“Yes, of course you can come.” But you’re going to regret it.

At this point, Fu Mingzhu was too busy thinking about how she would take revenge that she never thought about how Leng Ruoxue had gotten in and why she was here.

“That’s good.” Leng Ruoxue seemed to be relieved.

“Guards! There’s an assassin!” Fu Mingzhu suddenly shouted.

Leng Ruoxue was speechless. Fu Mingzhu is so slow-witted! Only now do you realize that you need help. What a disappointing reaction!

“Take a break! Don’t tire yourself out!” Leng Ruoxue felt that she was too considerate.

“You… You’re dead meat. The guards will be here soon,” Fu Mingzhu said smugly.

“Is that so? Shall we see if you’re going to die first, or am I going to die first?” Leng Ruoxue teased her like a cat chasing a mouse.

“Y-you! Do you even dare to touch me? My father won’t let you off,” Fu Mingzhu threatened.

“I really want to try. But it wouldn’t be my style if I let you die too easily.” Killing the enemy directly was simple, but it was not easy to make the enemy suffer and wish they were dead. She preferred to strike her opponents mentally.

“W-what do you want?” Fu Mingzhu suddenly felt a little scared. Why aren’t they here yet? It’s been so long…

“Don’t be scared! I won’t kill you,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed.

“I just want to…” Leng Ruoxue took out a pill, quickly forced Fu Mingzhu’s mouth open, and threw the pill inside.

“What did you feed me?” Fu Mingzhu was shocked. She hurriedly tried to use her fingers to dig out the pill from her throat, but it had dissolved as soon as it entered her mouth.

“Of course, it’s something good for your body.” She had specially concocted this pill for Fu Mingzhu, and it had taken her a lot of effort to find the pill formula.

“Really?” Although Fu Mingzhu had doubts, her glare gradually died down.

“Yes, of course,” Leng Ruoxue promised.

“The academy has a training exercise tomorrow. Go early and don’t be late,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.

“Okay, I’ll be there early,” Fu Mingzhu answered obediently as her eyes became gentler and gentler.

“Good. Go to bed now,” Leng Ruoxue reminded her.

“Okay, I’ll sleep now.” Fu Mingzhu lay directly on her bed.

Seems like the pill is effective. Leng Ruoxue pondered and left the room.

“Xue’er, are you done?” Ye Chen quietly asked when he saw Xue’er come out.

“Done!”

“Then where are we going now?”

“Let’s go home and sleep!”

“Aren’t you going to take a tour of the prime minister’s mansion?”

“Okay, let’s take a look!”

With that, the two humans and two beasts began to tour the prime minister’s mansion like it were their own backyard.

“Tsk, tsk! A prime minister is actually so rich. Look at the furnishings. How much money has he embezzled!” Ye Chen commented as he walked. The Five Great Families are probably just like this!

“I’ve decided…” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

“What have you decided?” Ye Chen looked at Xue’er doubtfully.

“I’ve decided to seek revenge for the people and rob him!” It would be a waste not to rob such a corrupt official.

“Yes, I like robbing,” Ye Chen said excitedly. Robbing was his most enjoyable pastime.

“Quill, go and find where the Fu family’s treasury is.” Quill’s eagle eyes were much better than radar, and he could even see farther.

“Master, come with me,” Quill said helplessly. After he advanced to divine beast, he had obtained the skill, ‘X-Ray Vision’. But his master only used it to look for things. Wuuu… Master, don’t you think it’s overkill…

Quill led them to an inconspicuous room. “Master, this is the treasury.”

“Are you sure?” Why does this room look like a servant’s room?

Quill nodded. He was certain of it.

“It’s locked.” An artificer should have refined this lock, and it couldn’t be opened without the password.

“I’ll do it.” Ye Chen took out a thin metal wire from who knows where and poked it into the lock a few times. With a pop, the lock opened.
