181 Perverted Man

When Yue Mi heard XuanRong's words, her face paled. Without saying anything, she kneeled and kowtowed.

XuanRong waved her hand and ordered YuShen to retreat and return to her courtyard, leaving only XuanRong and YuMi alone in the gazebo. YuShen left without a word. Although she was rather confused of YuMi's sudden action, YuShen knew that it was a matter between YuMi and XuanRong. As one of XuanRong's maidservants and the one who was the eldest among them, YuShen understood XuanRong's character. Although she was mostly a warmhearted person, she was merciless and coldhearted. YuShen took a final glance at YuMi before leaving.

"This servant would like to ask forgiveness. This servant has been with WangFei for years and this servant has been grateful toward WangFei's care. This servant knows that this servant has no right to show her face in front of WangFei but this servant's heart will not stay still because of guilt. Before this servant disappear in front of WangFei, this servant would want to say that when this servant was picked to be WangFei's personal maidservant, this servant was both happy and glad. Although this servant was initially sent by His Lordship, this servant had been loyal with WangFei ever since this servant was brought it by WangFei."

XuanRong only stared at YuMi without saying anything. Retracting her gaze, she repeatedly blew the tea before testing it with her lips. YuMi did not care that XuanRong was not paying attention at her and continued kowtowing. Her head was already bruised due to the impact. Luckily, the ground in the gazebo was smooth. Even though her head was already red, it was not bleeding.

The silence continued for a cup of tea time[1]. Only the repetitive noise coming from YuMi's head colliding on the floor could be heard.

Although Xu Fei Yi had already told her the truth, XuanRong was still feeling sour inside her heart. What she hated the most was betrayal. She had picked YuMi when she was young with the intention of grooming her to be one of her people. Unexpectedly, she did not expect that from the start, YuMi had been a spy sent by Xu Fei Yi. Though she and Xu Fei Yi had been closer after the full moon, she still bore a bit grudge for what he had done, and YuMi was also included.

XuanRong placed the tea cup on the table and turned her head, staring at YuMi who was kneeling in front of her, knocking her head on the floor repeatedly. She really liked YuMi, that was why she was disappointed when she learned the truth.

Sighing, XuanRong waved her hand and ordered YuMi to stand up.

"What I hate the most is a person's betrayal… but for the sake of giving face towards your master, I will not order you to die. Leave and do not show your face in front of me again."

XuanRong thought that YuMi would show happiness after being pardoned but on the contrary, a very reluctant and painful expression appeared on her face.

XuanRong raised her left eyebrow. With a mocking tone, she asked YuMi.

"What? You are not happy that your life is spared?"

XuanRong laughed and stood up. Walking towards YuMi, XuanRong moved her eyes up and down, carefully measuring the young woman.

"Don't tell me, you desired to remain by my side?"

Hearing XuanRong's voice, YuMi's eyes quivered. Her pale face showed shame.

Indeed.

In YuMi's heart, she hoped that XuanRong would forgive her and allow her to be by her side. When YuMi entered XuanRong's wings, it was to spy with her. Xu Fei Yi placed her near XuanRong to monitor her movements. In the past few years of observation, XuanRong treated her own people differently. YuMi slowly dreamed to be one of XuanRong's closest aids. Every time she would report something related to XuanRong, the places she went, the food she ate, the things she did and the people she interacted with, she would be filled with remorse and shame.

XuanRong could see what was inside YuMi's eyes. She internally sighed.

XuanRong walked pass through YuMi but she stopped after a couple of steps. Without turning back, XuanRong spoke.

"If you want to stay by my side, show your loyalty. Since you are Fei Yi's subordinate and has been sent to monitor me, then, you must be aware of my involvement in Rui Fang Li's death. Go and show me how devoted you are. In a week's time, show me an outstanding result."

XuanRong left, leaving YuMi alone to contemplate. Although she only vaguely said what she wanted and did not properly order YuMi to do something, XuanRong knew that she would understand the deep meaning behind her words.

A week later, the entire Qian Zou was filled with dread. A bunch of men, consisted of nobles and commoners, died in a similar manner with Rui Fang Li. Although the torture method was different, all of the victims shared something similar with him. Before they died, those men had their butthole destroyed and their male organ cut off. Because of it, a rumor had spread out in the entire country. It is a rumor about a murderer who would abduct men in order to vent out his frustrated desire.

The entire citizen of Qian Zou became anxious and the nobles angrily rebuked his sadistic way of killing people. Aside from the similarities of the way they died, the people did not notice that all of the victims shared the same horrible personalities. Killing innocent people, raping young maidens and conducting evil deeds… all of the victims were lecherous people who deserved death.

When XuanRong heard the rumor, her mouth rose upward.

Baili Chen shivered when the cold air blew inside the room because of the sudden opening of the window.

Looking at the man who just entered the room, his face turned pale. His butt subconsciously contracted when he recalled the pain and pleasure he experienced in the past few months. He felt disgusted but at the same time, he could not deny the excitement of his own body.

"W-why did you come?"
