Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 256 - Bodies in the Way

In a paG.o.da tree 10 steps away from them hung several bodies. When the chilly wind blew, the already stiff bodies would also gently sway in the air.

Though her feet got cold, Lin Mengya still determinedly tugged at Qinghu’s hand. Her eyes were focused on the things in front of her.

There were five bodies, with men’s, women’s, the old’s and the young’s among them. However, their heads, arms, and legs were all chopped off. Now, they were human flesh in a stick form.

The blood was still warm and dripped down from the cuts on the bodies. The snow-white ground was already tainted with blood-red color.

Expressions on the heads were gruesome. Though they had lost their lives long ago, their wide-opened eyes still chilled people to the bone.

“Don’t let Baisu see them. She might know someone here.”

Though used to the various human body specimens, it had been the first time that Lin Mengya had witnessed such a cruel dismemberment.

She hadn’t met these people here. However, she heard of them from Qinghu: People who followed Xiaoyu all possessed jade tokens of Lieyun Empire.

Now, jade tokens which could identify them were parallel hanging beside the head of the first body. Suddenly, Lin Mengya felt a chill down her spine. “They’re both Xiaoyu’s followers. If they died, then what about Xiaoyu? Will she also be in danger?”

“Xiaoyu! Qinghu, go back now to check on Xiaoyu. Will something happen to him? These people are too cruel, and I’m afraid something will happen to Xiaoyu. Will you help check on him?”

Seeing Lin Mengya rarely startled, Qinghu held her in his arms and felt her trembling. It was the fear buried in the depth of Lin Mengya’s heart. Since Yue Ting pa.s.sed away, she grew increasingly afraid that the people around her would suddenly leave her.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. Rest a.s.sured, Xiayu will be fine. These people are not his private guards. Don’t you forget, Xiaoyu now lives in Prince Yu’s Mansion. Even if Xin Li is capable, he doesn’t dare to kill in Long Tianyu’s manor.”

Qinghu’s words miraculously comforted Lin Mengya’s heart.

He was right. With Long Tianyu’s ident.i.ty and status, Xin Li really didn’t dare to act recklessly. However, what lay in front of them was too scary.

“Is Xin Li warning her by this? Or, has Xiaoyu done something and offended the perverted Master Rosa Multiflora?”

“Master!” Suddenly, a shrill voice rang. Lin Mengya turned around, only to see Baisu, desperate.

“No! Who killed my master! Who did it!”

Baisu immediately ran over, stumbled and fell on the snowy ground.

The three girls who were following her wanted to come over to pick her up. However, she flung their hands away and scrambled to the body who looked the oldest among them in the paG.o.da tree, crying her hearts out.

“Master, who killed you! Who killed you! Master!”

Melancholy cries rang in the entire night sky. The b.l.o.o.d.y smell sealed under the snow, coupled with Baisu’s crying, seemed exceptionally lonely and weird in the night when the whole country was celebrating.

…

Collecting herself, Lin Mengya regained her initial calmness and ordered. “Baishao and Baizhi, you go back to inform His Highness of this. And ask Xiaoyu to come over to collect these bodies.”

The carriage driver rose his whip and brought Baishao and Baizhi to flee from the troubled land.

Anyhow, the bodies in front of her looked terrifying. Though mentally-prepared, Lin Mengya still felt her hands a little cold.

“Alright, Baisu. Now, we need to find a way to bury your master and his friends.”

Lin Mengya walked over and patted Baisu’s shoulder.

The girl, only at times like now, showed an extremely unusual weakness. Lin Mengya couldn’t just stand and watch her fall into sadness, nonetheless, now, he couldn’t find a better way to comfort her.

“Master, since when I’m young, my kung fu master has been raising me. But today, he died such a tragic death. I am his disciple, and I’ll take revenge on the murderer!”

Lin Mengya didn’t oppose revenge. However, even Qinghu didn’t dare to confront that Xin Li.

At present, Baisu clearly hadn’t been capable yet.

Indeed, hate could make one stronger. That being said, she couldn’t let her girl die in vain because of hate.

Just as when she was about to say something, a pleasant smell suddenly filled the air, which startled Lin Mengya. All of a sudden, she blocked Baisu behind her to protect her girl.

“Xin Li! What silly games are you trying to play!”

As expected, from a small alley behind her, a fine figure slowly walked out.

The clothes were blood red, and the face was snow white. The hair, as dark as the ink, casually fell on the skinny shoulders.

Step by step, the figure walked to Lin Mengya.

“I thought, you weren’t afraid of anything. It turns out that, you can be afraid sometimes. Since you are now, then tell your brat to stay away from things that don’t belong to him!”

The young man’s voice sounded unis.e.x, yet it carried wet, slippery and sticky coldness like that from a viper.

Lin Mengya cautiously looked at the feminine man, and alarm bells rang.

“You did this?”

Xin Li suddenly smiled. In the dark night, however, his smile looked like the moon in the sky, chilly and aloof.

“That’s right. I personally chopped off their arms and legs. I wanted to use them to fertilize my flowers. But they were all useless hard bones. So, I can only let them die here.”

Xin Li talked as if the dead were supposed to be killed by him.

Lin Mengya knew too well this kind of person. They had no sympathy for anyone. All they had were disrespect and contempt for lives.

In Lin Mengya’s calmness, there already had been a trace of coldness. “You’ll pay for it.”

Xin Li’s several provocations had crossed the line. She used to think the man, at least, cared about something.

Nevertheless, now, Lin Mengya finally realized how unscrupulous he was.

Not to mention her, Xin Li might even take Long Tianyu lightly.

“I’ll kill you! To avenge my master!”

Baisu’s eyes were red from crying. The instant she saw her enemy, she immediately lifted her sword, ready to kill Xin Li to avenge the death of her master.

Lin Mengya clung on to Baisu. She fully understood that even if Baisu went to take her revenge, she would only lose her life. However, she didn’t want Baisu to die in vain.

“Hahaha—I didn’t expect people from the Dragon Pavilion were all so innocent. Kill me? Even your master couldn’t kill me, what can you do? But, you have a pretty face. If you fertilize my flowers, I don’t believe they’ll find it degrading. Do you know why my Rosa Multiflora is so beautiful? Because I water it with the purest and prettiest young girls’ blood. So, it’s more beautiful than any woman in the world.”

Xin Li was nearly looking at the Rosa Multiflora in his hand feverishly, which chilled Lin Mengya to the bone.

Once again, perverted men all turned out to be fetis.h.i.+sts.

“Water them with young girls’ blood?” Lin Mengya only felt sick. A perverted man who stank of death like him should die.

“Calm down, Baisu, I won’t let him hurt any of my men!”

Lin Mengya held Baisu tightly, and Qinghu stopped her. Then, Baisu finally calmed down.

Glancing at her master, Baisu had to suppress her desire to kill this man now.

“What do you want? Xiaoyu won’t get in your way in Dajin. Why do you have to do such a cruel thing?”

The carriage that would call for backup for them had returned. Moreover, the group of people her father dispatched to her had been gone since a while ago.

Lin Mengya thought that these were her father’s private guards. Either, they had retreated with the carriage to call for help, or, they had hidden somewhere she couldn’t see. A pair of fists couldn’t compete with four hands. As long as Prince Yu’s Mansion’s people arrived, Xin Li couldn’t benefit from this at all.

“Not in my way? Haha, you’re making me want to kill you right now!”

Standing on the white snow, Lin Mengya grew increasingly restless at the blood smell on Xin Li.

“That brat’s sheer existence is a thorn in my heart! I’ll tell you. If he hasn’t hidden in Prince Yu’s Mansion all this time, I would have taken his head long ago to celebrate my victory. Lin Mengya, I used to think you clever. But now, you’re just as stubborn as those people.”

Qinghu blocked in front of Lin Mengya, drew his long sword and lifted it up before him. Looking cold, he was protecting Lin Mengya.

“And you! Why can’t you be the owner of the Peach Blossom Dock? Instead, you became this woman’s dog. Even I feel ashamed for you. What? Will you suck up to her with the skills you learned when those men and women rode on you? Tut-tut, you used to be the top-notch plaything in the capital. Now, you learned how to protect people?”

Though someone revealed his past, there still hadn’t been a trace of wavering in Qinghu’s eyes.

Those days were, without doubt, his h.e.l.l. But, as long as Lin Mengya was here, even if she hated him, he would still block before Lin Mengya to protect her, or even die for her without the slightest hesitation.

A pair of delicate hands suddenly grabbed his arms. He looked around, only to see her, determined.

“You don’t have to attack the people around me! Even though he has his past, as long as they’re with me now, I won’t let anyone hurt them in the least! Xin Li, I didn’t want to be your enemy. But now, you really p.i.s.sed me off!”

Her voice carried very rare iciness.

Lin Mengya never knew what it felt like to fear. Let alone Xin Li, even the emperor in heaven came, she, Lin Mengya, wouldn’t back away!
