Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 349 - 343: Putting the Noble Ladies in Their Place
A girl tentatively looked at Josh and asked in a low voice, "Josh, when did you come to the castle?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Josh lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, "Last night."
The girl’s expression instantly froze, "Did you stay here last night?"
Josh nodded, "Yes."
[Really stayed here!]
[Oh my gosh! Even the maids here are cleaner than her, right?]
[I bet there are lice in her hair! Why would Lady Catherine take in someone like her!]
[Looks like she’s here for the first time. Lady Catherine said she was brought by Brother Yuze to play. I guess it’s because Brother Yuze brought a girl here for the first time that Lady Catherine valued her a bit more?]
[I think so too! A woman who crawled out of a garbage heap, she must be so proud inside. None of us can stay here, but she can. Did you see how she just nodded in agreement!]
[We sisters should teach this newcomer a lesson!]
[Is that okay? What if Lady Catherine finds out...]
[Idiot! Who told you to make things difficult openly? We are more familiar with this castle than she is, isn’t it easy to trip her up?]
The group discussed in their chat room how to trip Josh up and embarrass her.
Unbeknownst to them, behind each person hung a translucent strand of Spider Silk, making their conversation clear as day.
Josh chuckled, these noble ladies are really... adorably naive.
A girl suddenly lifted her head and said, "It’s so stuffy in the side hall, let’s go to the back garden! There’s a small pond there, and it’s super breezy! So comfortable~"
"Agreed, agreed!" Another girl chimed in.
The girl sitting next to Josh finally turned to her and asked, "Do you want to come with us? It’s a lot of fun~ And there are many beautiful flowers in the back garden~"
"Sure~" Josh showed an exceptionally sweet smile.
If any one of them had been in Josh’s livestream, they would know this smile meant someone was about to have bad luck.
The group bustled towards the back yard.
The girls were smart, surrounding Josh from all sides to prevent her from escaping.
But none of them dared to take her arm.
There is a small pond in the back garden. The garden is not open-air, but made of a high-transparency special biomaterial, which effectively controls the temperature inside the garden to simulate seasonal changes.
The pond was filled with lotus flowers.
The leading girl, Roland, smilingly linked arms with the person next to her and said to Josh, "Never seen a scene like this before, right?"
Josh blinked, "It’s just a lotus pond... Sis, is this scene very uncommon?"
"You recognize it?" Roland’s face changed. Clearly, her pretense didn’t hit, and her expression turned ugly.
On Federation Planet, urban development is high, and lotus flowers, which are already endangered, are very rarely seen.
Usually, only during New Year, a couple of fake flowers would be displayed on Federation programs, but real flowers are extremely rare.
Let alone a whole pond of them.
It’s safe to say that those from families below Marquis level wouldn’t have seen the real thing.
Roland suspiciously glanced at her, "Josh, you’ve probably never seen it before, right? This is a lotus pond~ All real flowers."
"Oh." Josh wanted to express amazement, but this stuff... they’re everywhere in the Cultivation World, practically an infestation.
Roland and the others were sure she was pretending to understand to avoid being ridiculed.
They brought her here to push her into the water, and if Lady Catherine asked, they would say Josh got too excited seeing the lotus and slipped.
If they could crush a flower or two, even better.
This is Admiral Collins’s favorite lotus pond!
It’s said that every lotus in it was personally planted by him for Lady Catherine.
If a couple got damaged...
Hehe.
Roland exchanged a look with her sister Mara and said to Josh, "If you like, you can come closer for a look, you don’t get the chance to admire lotuses often, right?"
Josh slightly embarrassed, "If you all aren’t going, then I won’t go either?"
Roland hastily said, "We are just about to go to appreciate the lotuses up close."
She signaled to the others, and four or five girls walked hand in hand to the edge of the pond.
"Such beautiful lotuses, oh, the smell is amazing~"
"So pretty, so beautiful!"
"I love it! It’s nice to see them up close!"
The girls pretended to appreciate, wanting to lure Josh to the pond’s edge.
Roland took a deep breath facing the pond, indulging, "What a charming fragrance, Josh, come smell it!"
Josh grinned, "On my way~"
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
The sound of people falling into water echoed, immediately followed by the girls’ screams.
Josh put her hands in her pockets, leisurely withdrawing a leg, "Oh my, how careless of you all to fall in!"
"Save... blub blub... save me..."
"Blub blub... I can’t... blub... swim..."
"Someone... blub blub..."
Remarkably, all five present couldn’t swim at all.
Even Josh couldn’t help being surprised.
From the loft above.
The floor-to-ceiling window was directly facing the pond in the back garden.
"Hahaha..." Catherine couldn’t straighten up, laughing at the hilarious sight of five girls falling into the lake one after the other.
Beside her, Lu Yangzhang showed a helpless expression, "Your Grace, if we don’t save them now, they really might drown."
"Okay... okay... hahahaha..." Catherine laughed heartily, clutching her stomach, "Did you see how synchronized they were just now, it was too funny, hahahaha..."
"Your Grace." Lu Yangzhang’s lips twitched.
It took Catherine a long time to catch her breath. She elegantly flicked a little handkerchief to wipe her tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.
She took a deep breath, facing Lu Yangzhang’s speechless gaze, she tried to put on a serious face, "Alright, I’m fine now, let’s go."
The two went downstairs, heading towards the back garden.
Lu Yangzhang, seeing a few people floundering in the pond, quickly cleared his throat, "Someone fell into the water, didn’t you see?"
This pond is under Collins’s personal care, and he usually doesn’t allow maids near it.
So there were fewer people here.
Josh raised her hand, "I’ll save them."
She tugged on the Spider Silk, and five strands of it simultaneously pulled the five people out of the pond.
The girls, already dressed in elaborate and heavy dresses, fluttered in the mud-lined pond for a while, their faces and bodies covered in mud, their dresses soaking wet.
It was winter, the cold wind blew past, and a few were shivering from the cold.
Roland, seeing Duke Catherine in front of her, pouted aggrievedly and burst into tears, "Auntie... waaa..."
"Pfft..."
Hearing a chuckle, the girls looked up and saw the serious and dignified Lady Catherine.
They shook their heads.
No way, Lady Catherine was such a dignified and elegant woman; she couldn’t possibly be mocking them.
