Yun Biluo laid down her veil, paced forward with a faint smile on her lips, and stopped at the corridor.
“Paiza,” the guard blocked her.
Yun Biluo gazed at the guard with her beautiful eyes, bowed down, and soften her voice.
The guard was indeed immersed in her soft tone, so he cast a glance at Yun Biluo and said, “You shall wait here, I’ll go and inform them inside.”
“Thank you.” Yun Biluo shifted her gaze and her smile widened.
In the room on the second floor.
“General,” the guard entered the room and whispered to Murong Hongtu, “The duke has sent a beauty to General…”
Helian Wei Wei was sitting next to Murong Hongtu, her fingers stiffened when she heard what the guard said.
The beauty he meant must be Yun Biluo and the others.
Yuan Ming sneered, “Woman, I guess that group of people has never thought that you will enter this room before them in a different way, they will probably think that you’re still out there keeping watch for them.”
Helian Wei Wei smiled slightly without saying a word and held a wine glass in her hand, listening to every word they said.
As soon as Murong Hongtu heard that it was a beauty, a grin rose onto his face. However, that was more than a normal grin to Helian Wei Wei.
“The duke himself sent her here?” Murong Hongtu asked.
The guard shook his head, “I think Master Han sent her here.”
“Don’t report things that you are uncertain of to me,” Murong Hongtu sneered, “Detain her first and ask her where she’s from.”
The guard lowered his head and said yes.
Helian Wei Wei put down the wine glass, staying calm and collected.
Yuan Ming raised the corner of his thin lips and said, “Woman, it looks like the plan of your mates is not going to work.”
Helian Wei Wei remained silent because Murong Hongtu who was sitting beside her had looked toward her. The gaze would remind someone of the stare of a cobra prowling in the grass.
Helian Wei Wei put up a smile and raised the glass that was in her hand toward him.
Only then Murong Hongtu’s look was less scary, he smiled and said, “I thought you were interested in the beauty since you were listening attentively just now.”
“Of course I like beauties, it’s just…” Helian Wei Wei paused, she ran her tongue over her lips, “I’m more eager to drink the thing that General mentioned before.”
Looking satisfied with Helian Wei Wei’s answer, Murong Hongtu brayed with laughter again. After that, he calmed himself down and clapped his hands. “Serve the thing.”
Yuan Ming who had tightened his nerve just now heaved a sigh of relief, “That was so close, I thought he has realized something.”
“He was indeed terrifying,” said Whitey.
When Yuan Ming looked toward Helian Wei Wei, he smiled slyly because she was so steady, despite all their worries.
Helian Wei Wei just took a sip of her wine, she then held onto the round table while standing up when she saw those people sitting opposite her stood up.
“All of you will see something cruel later, but no worries, all of you know that something has to be sacrificed in order to achieve eternal youth.” Murong Hongtu said this while he guided everyone to look into the room.
Helian Wei Wei walked over there, she had goosebumps all over her body when she looked up at the beam.
Someone’s face turned pale and quickly covered his or her mouth.
Murong Hongtu then cast a glance at that person.
Only then the person managed to control his emotions.
However, the scene before them was really too much.
There were two small corpses hanging from the beam.
The corpses were like conductors, forming a connection between the preceding and the following.
Blood was dripping from the corpses and eventually fed to the trapped mythological beast.
Helian Wei Wei had a sudden wave of nausea, she knew whatever reaction she would be showing was normal.
It would be unreal if she was acting too calm instead.
Murong Hongtu understood that it would be hard for a first-timer to look at such a scene, he burst into laughter and patted Helian Wei Wei’s shoulder. “You will get used to this eventually. Just think of the benefits you’ll get after drinking it.”
Helian Wei Wei gave Murong Hongtu a smile.
Murong Hongtu went past her and stood before the mythological beast. He drank a mouthful of blood from the opened brain of the mythological beast, like a barbarian eating raw meat.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, but the smile on her face never vanished, she was observing the mythological beast before her. It probably just died not long ago, it was lying there with both eyes shut, half-opened mouth, deflated head and body, four limbs as thin as a cane, looking truly terrifying.
After Murong Hongtu took a sip, his pair of eyes lit up, he became very energetic in a very short time. He then looked toward Helian Wei Wei and the others, he gave them a smile and said, “It feels so good!”
An elder with only white hairs could not take control of himself anymore upon seeing this, even though he was trembling when he saw the two corpses.
He was insanely desperate for eternal life, so he closed his eyes and immersed himself into the brain of another mythological beast. When he finally looked up again, he felt as though he was flying like a fairy, there was endless strength coming from all over his body.
“Good!” Murong Hongtu was laughing, “Who’s next?”
A rich businessman who was over forty walked over, but in the end, he shook his head and said, “Cannot, I can’t, I have children as well…”
“There’s no harm trying,” Murong Hongtu was still grinning.
But Helian Wei Wei noticed that his eyes had turned gloomy.
The businessman shook his head, his face was really pale, “I’m quit…”
Before he could finish the word quitting, there was a loud swish!
He was stabbed cruelly by Murong Hongtu, who was standing in front of him!
“A timid person should not hope for eternal youth.” Murong Hongtu used his fingers to push away the businessman who had wide-opened eyes.
The businessman was twitching for a while on the floor.
Murong Hongtu waved at the guards, impatience was starting to show on his face, “Bring him out, he is indeed affecting other’s appetite.”
In the blink of an eye, a person’s life was gone.
Helian Wei Wei was knowing more of the person standing in front of her, he possessed no humanity at all. Despite the fact that she had to secretly track Murong Hongtu recent whereabouts, she had to think of a way to get herself out as well.
“Wei Wei, you cannot drink that blood.” Whitey jumped out but kept his shape hidden, there was a sign of warning in his eyes. “This is not ordinary blood of mythological beast, they have done something to it.”
Yuan Ming squinted his eyes as well. “You meant the two dead children just now.”
“That’s right,” Whitey lowered his voice. “Although they have it well covered, it looks more like a human sacrifice judging from this layout. By using the blood of a child, the blood of a mythological beast will be contaminated. Once a person drinks the contaminated blood, he will be unable to stop himself, which is why you cannot start drinking.”
