The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

A8 C225: Attending to the Lord in His Chamber

According to the palace servants, Baili Duyue hadn't left the main hall for several days. A few days ago, his guards suddenly dug up the newly planted flower garden by the lake, searching for something, causing widespread panic. Unfortunately, the thousands of high-quality spiritual plants all withered away.

"What's wrong with the lord? Why did they dig up a perfectly good flower garden?”

"Who wouldn't say so? Once those Snow Qinz flowers grow a bit more, gathering spiritual energy, they'll form a spiritual pool on their own, suitable for meditation during leisure. It's a pity they were destroyed."

The servants attending to the main hall were low-level spiritual cultivators. During their leisure time, they couldn't help but exchange a few words in low voices. Little did they know that all the commotion outside was heard by Baili Duyue.

Inside the sleeping hall, layers of gauzy curtains hung, and a cool breeze swept in, causing them to flutter like waves. However, due to the excessive haziness, it gave an eerie and bizarre feeling.

A maid knelt inside the hall, a tray placed next to her, holding a withered spirit plant that no longer had a recognizable form. She said, "Reporting to the lord, inside and outside the lake, we have thoroughly investigated. Finally, in the flower garden, we found this Dragon Orchid. While it looks similar to Snow Qinz, its effects are quite different, having an aphrodisiac function."

When she mentioned the last two words, the maid couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Baili Duyue. Through the gauzy curtain, only a vaguely discernible figure could be seen, leaning against the armrest with an indistinct expression.

A cold and stern voice came from behind the curtain, "Why did the Dragon Orchid get mixed in?"

The maid explained with her head lowered, "I have already investigated. It was due to the negligence of the personnel in the botanical room. They accidentally confused the flower seeds. This Dragon Orchid was originally used in alchemy, but somehow it was mistakenly planted and has already been dealt with. I am incompetent and failed to discover it in time. Please punish me, lord!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose around her, and the gauzy curtains were shaken open by an invisible force, splitting apart and revealing the stern-faced Baili Duyue. He sneered, "A bunch of fools!"

With a wave of his sleeves, the attendant was sent flying several meters and spat out blood as she fell. However, she didn't dare to wipe it, quickly getting up from the ground and kowtowing in fear, "This subordinate deserves to die! This subordinate deserves to die!"

Baili Duyue slowly clenched his fingertips, bones cracking. The Dragon Orchid on the tray silently turned into powder under an unseen force. Looking down at the pleading attendant, his gaze was chilling, as if venom could drip from it, "I hate people who are not true to their words the most in my life."

"If you know you deserve to die, why are you still alive? Kneeling and begging for mercy now, what does it accomplish? Why should I spare you?"

The attendant, hearing this, hesitated in her plea. She knew Baili Duyue was in a fit of anger. Begging for mercy might backfire. Instead, it was better to seek a quick death. Feeling a chill, she closed her eyes and said with difficulty, "This subordinate pleads... pleads for the lord to grant death!"

She waited for Baili Duyue's judgment. Regardless of whether it was a dispersion of cultivation or a beheading, as long as she wasn't skinned, it was fortunate. However, there was no movement above her head, and the air remained eerily silent.

The attendant couldn't help but be unable to bear it any longer. Summoning her courage, she raised her head to look above, only to see Baili Duyue staring at the tray with the Dragon Orchid—
