After making sure that there were no signs of life, The Pink Bride raised her hand without hesitation and summoned a dark green flame.
The flames fell on the body and in the blink of an eye, the maidservant's body was burned to ashes.
Then, The Pink Bride pointed her finger again. A gust of wind rose from the ground and swept up the ashes in front of her. In an instant, they scattered into the void, mixed with the dust, and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the empty ground, The Pink Bride nodded in satisfaction.
He couldn't kill the other party at night, but he could during the day!
After dealing with the maidservants, she didn't even look at the food on the table. Now that she had cultivation, she no longer needed to rely on the food of these mortals to maintain her life.
He lifted the bead curtain and walked into the inner room.
The Pink Bride took off her tattered, blood-stained, and dirty dress and then opened the cabinet to rummage through it. Among the colorful clothes, there was a red dress with golden patterns. She suddenly felt that it was very similar to her original wedding dress, so she reached out to take it without hesitation.
At this moment, an unfamiliar memory surfaced in his mind.
The spring sun filled the courtyard. He stood by the window and together with the maidservant, they slowly unrolled a roll of clothes that was as bright as blood and as lustrous as Jade.
Beside him stood a maidservant with a blurry face. She was chattering non-stop, &Quot; ... This was brought back by a caravan from a long distance away. I heard that it was originally a tribute. The owner of the Imperial workshop received some benefits, so he secretly took out this little and bought it all for us. In my opinion, red is the most suitable for our young lady ... &Quot;
&Quot; make a short, wide-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt. This color is like a blood droplet. You don't have to wear it. Just by gesturing like this, it can reflect a person's bright red. You have to use gold and silver thread to embroil the Phoenix peony ... &Quot;
The voice suddenly disappeared, and The Pink Bride suddenly came back to her senses, only to see that she had already changed into a clean dress.
However, the dress she changed into was not the red dress she had chosen, but light purple, narrow-sleeved, short skirt with a light yellow immortal-like dress and a green brocade tied around her waist.
The Pink Bride furrowed her brows, but she immediately felt that this dress was not bad.
She raised her head and looked at the bronze mirror not far away. Her long hair was loose, her face was white, and her purple and yellow dress made her look clean and neat. Compared to the red dress, she had a different kind of amorous feeling.
After hesitating for a moment, The Pink Bride shook her head slightly. She still had important things to do, but it was not the time to be calculative.
&Quot; I'll first find a suitable sacrifice ... &Quot;
&Quot; and then there was Xiao Zheng. He helped the servant girl last night ... &Quot;
"Let's go and meet him during the day!"
She quickly walked to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out a long gold hairpin. She tied her long hair up and inserted a few more hairpins. After making sure that it would not affect her movements, she turned and walked out of the door.
※※※
In a certain courtyard of the Xiao Manor, the shadows of bamboo were dense and The Sound of Music surged. The light reflected on the window lattice seemed to be dancing.
In the room.
Two foot-high empty plates were stacked on the Round Table with yellow Rosewood embedded in marble and carved with landscape characters.
The smell of food and wine filled the room. Yu was sitting at the table with a gloomy expression, gobbling down the food in front of him.
When the delicious food entered his stomach, accompanied by a cup of warm wine, the fragrance of the Osmanthus overflowed between his breaths. It was extremely refreshing.
Yu suddenly came back to his senses.
His aura had already reached the peak of the Qi cultivation stage!
However, when he was eating just now, he saw a few strange memories.
The first time was when he was squatting in the middle of the courtyard, with a tall and burly man, bare-chested and muscular, holding a whip in his hand, standing by his side and explaining the key to the horse-riding stance with a cold expression. The first time was when he stood in front of the window with banana leaves, holding a brush and drawing the outline stroke by stroke, the force penetrating the back of the paper. There was another time when he was holding a golden folding fan, dressed in a brocade robe with a jade ring to tie his hair. He was dressed elegantly, holding a red fox fur coat, and slowly walked through the snow-covered plum blossom forest. He walked to a low-hanging flower branch and used the folding fan to gently pick up a flower branch full of buds. He smiled and turned around, saying to the person behind him, ""Plum blossoms in the snow, the moon in the pear blossoms, always reminiscing. "I've been thinking about you all these days when my father forced me to study. I wonder if you, the world's famous head of commerce, also thought about me?"
These unfamiliar memories, each time longer than the last, as if he had experienced it himself.
Yu put down his teething teeth and looked around. The palace lamp was still burning quietly in the room, but the dim yellow light only illuminated a small area.
Outside the window, the faint morning light fell gently.
The night had passed, and the sun was rising.
The maidservant who had been waiting on him had disappeared without a trace.
'Yu' rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him when he suddenly realized that the remaining oil stains at the bottom of the bowl had all turned into dirty blood.
The leftovers were human meat, the vegetables were human hair and skin, the soup was human blood, and the dishes floating inside were fingers and eyeballs.
The bowl of tofu soup that he was halfway through was actually stewed human marrow.
'Yu' immediately frowned. He was a ghost to begin with, so it was natural for him to eat living people. In his opinion, this human meat feast was extremely ordinary and he would not feel any disgust or disgust at all.
However, the current situation made him feel that something was wrong.
Before he could figure out these questions, someone knocked on his door.
Immediately after, the servant girl's voice was heard, " "Young master, your servant has brought breakfast."
'Yu' regained his senses and ordered, " "Come in."
Soon, a maidservant in a blue dress walked in with a food box. She had a long face, thin eyebrows, long eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. She wasn't very beautiful, but she had the delicate and moving look of a young Jade from a humble family.
Her long black hair was simply braided into two pigtails that fell to her chest.
Just as she turned around the screen, she saw the lewd and bloody scene on the table. The servant girl's eyes instantly widened, and she was so scared that she took a few steps back, almost dropping the food box in her hand.
"Bring out all the food,""Yu" said indifferently.
When the servant girl heard this, she regained her senses and quickly said, " "Yes!"
She composed herself and went forward to bring out the dishes, placing them on the empty space on the table.
'Yu' didn't let her taste the dishes this time. Instead, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Soon, he finished all the dishes, but the power in his body did not increase at all, and those strange memories did not continue to appear.
Sensing this,'Yu' nodded slightly, he immediately understood that only the food that was delivered at night could help him recover more strength.
But ...
This was too simple!
That person's good fortune could not be so easy!
He had a feeling that something extremely dangerous was already happening to him, but he had yet to realize where the problem was.
There were too few clues!
With that in mind, Yu ordered, " "You can leave first."
"Yes!" The maidservant knelt down.
She quickly took her leave.
Yu sat by the table and waited for a moment. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out of the room.
"Squeak."
When the door opened, a guard was already standing outside. When he saw the young master come out, he immediately bowed and saluted, " "Young master ..."
Before he could finish his words, the guard felt his throat tighten and he could not make a sound. A hand that seemed to be made of steel clasped his neck and dragged him into the room.
"Bang!"
The door closed immediately, and there was no more movement in the surroundings. There was only the sound of the bamboo forest, thousands of leaves rustling, like the tide and waves, deep and surging.
