Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 418: Invincible East VS Sunflower Manual (4)

The following day, a strikingly handsome and innocent-looking young boy appeared suddenly by Dugu Chen’s side, seemingly no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. His large eyes were piercing, his skin so fair it could provoke envy in others, and his lips were a rosy red with a lustrous sheen, exuding an air of sensuality. The only oddity was his white eyebrows.

"Tian Yi, where did this kid come from?" Huang Yi blinked his large eyes, looking at the youth beside his master.

Tian Yi stroked his chin, "Weren’t you and Xuan Yue on night duty last night? Why are you asking me?"

Xuan Yue shook his head, "Don’t look at me, I have no clue where this guy popped up from."

Di An was speechless, rolling his eyes; his master was becoming more mysterious by the day.

Xiaobai followed Dugu Chen somewhat reluctantly; he had intended to stay by his sister’s side, but under the jealous compulsion of another, he had no choice but to aggrievedly accompany him instead.

"Why doesn’t the master introduce him to us?" Tian Yi, the ever-curious, couldn’t help asking the person next to him. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Di An gave him a cold sidelong glance, "Don’t you know better than to ask about the master’s affairs?"

Tian Yi turned his head and gave Di An a look, "What’s the matter, can’t handle someone better-looking than you?"

"Get lost, am I that kind of person?"

Tian Yi touched his nose, alright, he had hit a nerve.

With an expressionless face, Xiaobai held a small vial in his hand. It was given by his brother-in-law as a token to again go to the Imperial Palace and poison the unfortunate soul. Sigh, wasn’t this just a way to blatantly separate him from his sister? What a despicable method to send him away.

That night, when Xiaobai returned to the Imperial Palace, he found a secluded spot and transformed back into a smaller kitten, hiding in the shadows and watching the emperor’s every move. Just as Xiaobai was about to nod off, the emperor finally headed for Yonghe Palace.

"Your concubine...,"

"Dispense with the formalities."

Dugu Han waved his hand towards the people behind him, and as everyone finally left, he started to enjoy the pleasant sensations once more.

From initial discomfort to adeptness, Xiu Yang revealed how much the emperor enjoyed these thrilling moments.

Xiaobai lay on the rooftop, watching the scenes below with great admiration for his sister’s potion concocting skills, which had managed to turn a normal person so utterly abnormal. Probably in all the land, only his sister could do this. Looking at the medicine in his mouth, he hesitated about whether or not to administer it, but eventually, with a certain defiance, he snuck into the room from an inconspicuous corner and quietly waited for the right moment.

More than half an hour passed before Xiu Yang, exhausted, came out and sat in the side hall, sipping a cup of tea to soothe her parched throat. After putting the cup down, she raised her eyes towards Dugu Han in the bedroom, wishing she could tear him to pieces; living like this was truly nerve-wracking.

Xiaobai waited until dawn was almost breaking and still hadn’t found the opportunity, so he ran off in a huff, his tail flicking in annoyance. He could only wait to return that evening.

After seeing off the emperor, Xiu Yang returned to the bedroom, dismissed the servants, and changed into Palace Maid attire. She then quietly slipped out the back door of Yonghe Palace, returning after a good while with the utmost stealth.

That same night, when Xiaobai rushed over, he heard a scream from the bedroom, followed by a roar, "Shameless wretch." Then, a woman’s unrestrained laughter echoed, loudly exclaiming, "You deserve it, that’s your retribution."

The noise inside alarmed the people standing watch outside; in an instant, eunuchs, Palace Maids, and the emperor’s personal guards and Hidden Guards all squeezed into the room, only to wish they could gouge out their own eyes. Each of them staggered into the room, trembling as they knelt on the ground. The eunuchs in the back sneaked away upon seeing this scene, discreetly leaving the room amidst the chaotic night, exiting Yonghe Palace.

Seeing this from the rooftop, Xiaobai also shivered and clutched the symbol of his masculinity tightly. Looking at the bloody object in Xiu Yang’s hand, Xiaobai couldn’t help but hold his forehead; he didn’t need to poison the emperor anymore, for he had forever become what his sister termed as the ’Invincible East,’ fully qualified to train in the Sunflower Manual.

When Zhuisu entered the room and raised his sword, he quickly dispatched the people inside, ensuring not a single survivor remained.

"The Emperor forgives me, your humble servant arrived too late to save you," he kneeled on the ground, not daring to look directly at the emperor’s furious face.

Dugu Han, releasing the laughing Xiu Yang from his grip, quickly pressed several acupoints on his lower body, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Xiu Yang on the ground, "Wretch, I want you to never rest in peace."

Xiu Yang stopped laughing and curved her lips into a faint smirk, "Hehe, weren’t you wondering who put the poison in your food?"

"Who?" He snarled, grasping Xiu Yang by the collar.

"Me."

"You? Impossible." Dugu Han shook his head, not believing it was the woman before him. She had been locked in the palace when he was poisoned, how could she have done it?

"Hehehe, I knew about your late-night snacking habits, so I went to the Imperial Kitchen to poison your midnight snack. How does it feel, not being a man anymore?" Xiu Yang’s face, a blend of sinister and soft, slowly began to smile as she looked at Dugu Han’s contorted face.

"What a pity, you’ll have no heirs now, and soon enough, your throne will be taken from you. Are you angry, are you furious? Do you find yourself pitiful too? Do you regret killing the child in my womb? Hahaha, this is retribution."

Dugu Han watched as Xiu Yang descended into madness, staring at her coldly for a moment: "Hmph, the only thing I regret is not having killed you in the first place."

"Would you dare kill me now?" She raised her eyebrows, challenging his wolf-like bloodthirsty gaze.

"Hehe, I’ve changed my mind." His eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

"Close confinement torture, ever heard of it?"

Xiu Yang, who was still smiling, was suddenly taken aback. She looked up, shocked, as she met his cruel, grinning face, emanating a cold and hellish aura.

"What, never heard of it? No matter, I will explain it to you slowly. I’ll tie you to a frame, then take a wooden stick and hit your belly forcefully..." His large hand gripped her chin and his soft, low voice menacingly whispered, drifting slowly towards Xiu Yang’s ear.

"Get out..."
