Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 93 Obey... and I won't kill her.

It was late at night.

A silver moon climbed into the night sky, its light falling on the courtyard like frost.

After the nightingale left, Luo Qingfeng closed the window and called Xiao Tao to come inside and sleep.

It's freezing cold; we can't just wait outside.

About half an hour later.

As Luo Qingfeng was studying the acupoints on the young maid's body on the bed, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the window.

Nightingale is back.

Luo Qingfeng quickly told Xiao Tao what was going on, then got up, put on his coat, went to open the window, and whispered, "What did the captain say?"

Nightingale glanced into the room and said, "Let's go to Dong Miaomiao's place."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the sky outside and said, "Isn't it a bit early? She wants me to come over at midnight."

The nightingale said, "It's almost midnight."

She then glanced around the room, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What's wrong? Can't bear to part with the little maid on the bed?"

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Is there anyone protecting us here?"

Nightingale snorted and said, "Ah Tian is nearby."

Luo Qingfeng then climbed out of the window and closed it behind him.

"What were you doing in bed just now?"

"The nightingale suddenly asked."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Chatting, what else can we do?"

"hehe."

"What does 'hehe' mean?"

I can't be bothered with you.

"Climb over the wall or use the gate?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nightingale leaped over the courtyard wall.

Luo Qingfeng also jumped out.

Outside the courtyard wall, Liu Tiantian, with two long braids and an iron whip around her waist, walked out from around the corner and said with a smile, "Ah Feng, you'd better be careful. That Third Miss is not simple. Be careful not to have your body drained."

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I'll leave this to Senior Sister."

Liu Tiantian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to your family's little maid with small breasts."

Luo Qingfeng gave an awkward smile, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

After walking a distance, Nightingale couldn't help but sneer, "Tsk tsk, small body but big breasts, so Mr. Luo likes girls like this."

Luo Qingfeng coughed, changing the subject: "What's the plan?"

The nightingale scoffed, "No plan."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "What should I do if I go? When should I notify you?"

Nightingale said, "Just be prepared. We don't know why she asked you to come over so late, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. If there's any danger, you can naturally raise the alarm."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "What if she makes unreasonable demands?"

Nightingale narrowed her eyes and said, "What unreasonable demands do you expect her to make?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "For example, I have to kneel down and serve her tea and water, or I have to tell her stories all night long, only then will she give me some secrets."

Nightingale scoffed and said, "You wish! Do you think they really care about you? Sending you to a place like that in the dead of night means they're either going to eat you, skin you alive, or yell 'molestation' the moment you step inside and drag you away and beat you to death."

Luo Qingfeng: "...Isn't this showing you how much you like me?"

Nightingale rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yes, yes, everyone in this mansion, from top to bottom, from old to young, from men to women, adores you."

The two walked through the garden corridor while talking.

If she encounters guards on night watch on the road, Nightingale will first step forward and take out her name tag. Some guards already recognize her and will glance at her from afar before leaving.

Luo Qingfeng remained hidden behind her, and no one saw his face.

After all, he still had to hide his identity as a schoolteacher during the day.

Not long after.

The two then walked through a garden and arrived at a small courtyard.

On either side of the entrance to the small courtyard, there were two clumps of lush, jade-green bamboo, and next to the bamboo, there were some orchids.

The wooden door was closed, and a wooden sign hung on it with the words "Miaomiao Courtyard" written in large characters.

Nightingale explained in a low voice, "Dong Miaomiao lives alone in this courtyard because she needs to cultivate, and she doesn't live with her mother. She also lives here with two maids, one named Achun and the other named Aqiu. There is no one else in this courtyard besides the three of them."

Luo Qingfeng turned and looked around, then asked, "Where are the captain and the others? Weren't they supposed to be protecting me outside?"

Nightingale said, "Am I not enough? The captain and the others need to be monitored. If you are in danger, just sound the alarm, and they will come immediately."

Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "If the opponent is too powerful, wouldn't I die silently? You wouldn't have time to come to my rescue?"

Nightingale said, "Since she said those things today, she probably won't hurt you. She even knows about us demon hunters, so why would she take the risk and let you prepare before coming here? If she really wanted to harm you, she wouldn't have notified you in advance."

"That's true."

Without further hesitation, Luo Qingfeng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Nightingale immediately darted behind a nearby bamboo grove and whispered, "Remember, stay alert at all times. Don't be fooled, and don't eat or drink anything inside. If there's any danger, come out immediately, or sound the alarm."

Just then, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out from the darkness not far away!

One long and one short!

Their expressions changed instantly, and Nightingale immediately flashed out, shouting, "Run! There's a demon!"

Luo Qingfeng swiftly drew his broken sword and followed closely behind!

The two soon arrived at the garden from which the whistle had been emitted.

Tang Wu, Liu Yangjing, and the others had already arrived, and Liu Tiantian followed shortly after.

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

At the same time, a wave of energy from the aftermath of a fight slowly spread outwards.

Upon closer inspection, the group discovered a blood-soaked corpse lying in the flowerbed. The corpse's abdomen appeared to have been slashed open by something sharp, with its internal organs spilling out.

Luo Qingfeng's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw something familiar!

Half a candied hawthorn!

Perhaps because he ate too quickly, the half-eaten candied hawthorn was swallowed before it was even chewed properly. Now, mixed with the mucus from his internal organs, it shone with a dark red glow under the moonlight.

Luo Qingfeng's heart pounded, and he quickly took a few steps closer to look at the corpse's face.

Little Duo!

It's that little maid named Xiaoduo!

At this moment, the guards of the mansion also came upon hearing the news.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei quickly walked to the round gate and blocked the way, saying, "Protect the scene, don't go in for now."

Knowing their identities, the guards had no choice but to stop outside the round gate.

Standing before the corpse, Tang Wu held a sword, her face grim, her chest heaving slightly, clearly having just been in battle.

The group quickly inquired.

Tang Wu looked at the corpse on the ground, paused for a moment, and then said, "When I came out on patrol just now, I noticed fluctuations in the atmosphere of a fight here, so I rushed over immediately. When I got here, I found someone squatting in front of this corpse. I immediately drew my sword and fought with him for a few moves, then sounded the alarm. The other person immediately passed through the wall and disappeared."

"Going through the wall?"

Yang Jing was taken aback, and his expression became even more serious.

Tang Wu nodded and said, "The other party does indeed know how to pass through walls; they disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, their cultivation level should only be at the seventh level of the Opening Heaven Realm. I used my sword to cut their arm."

The nightingale quickly asked, "Did you see the other person's face clearly?"

Tang Wu shook her head and said, "That person was dressed entirely in black and wore a mask, but..."

She paused, then looked at Luo Qingfeng beside her and said, "That person is petite, so she should be a woman, and she seems to be very young."

Luo Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

Tang Wu suddenly asked, "Ah Feng, did you go see her?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head.

He suddenly realized something and said, "Captain, I'll go right now!"

Tang Wu nodded, her expression grave, and said, "Be careful. Have Aying and Atian with you to provide backup outside."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the little maid's corpse on the ground and the half-eaten candied hawthorn outside her stomach, then clenched his fist and quickly left.

Soon, he returned to Miaomiao Courtyard.

He suppressed his emotions and went up to knock on the door.

After a moment, footsteps came from inside, and then lanterns lit up.

"Squeak..."

The wooden door opened.

A young maid peeked out, glanced at him, and whispered, "Is this Young Master Luo? Come in quickly."

As she spoke, she quickly pulled him inside, glanced around, and then immediately closed the courtyard gate.

"Miss instructed that if Young Master Luo arrives, he should be brought in immediately."

The young maidservant, carrying a lantern, led him through the courtyard and into the main hall.

An oil lamp was lit on the table inside the room, its dim light illuminating only half of the room.

The maid put down the lantern and said, "Young Master Luo, please have a seat. I will go and call Miss out."

As she spoke, she went into the room next door.

After a while, she came out and said, "Young Master Luo, it seems that Miss is not here. Please sit for a while longer, Miss should be back soon."

not there?

Luo Qingfeng's eyes flashed.

After waiting for a long time, no one returned.

A maid named Ah Chun stood outside the door, looking anxiously ahead.

Luo Qingfeng didn't wait any longer and stood up, saying, "I'll come again tomorrow."

The maidservant hurriedly said, "Young Master Luo, don't go! If Miss comes back and doesn't see you, she'll be angry."

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and quickly left the room.

Someone died in the manor. All the guards in the manor have been mobilized and all the roads have probably been blocked. If it really is her, she should be hiding somewhere and unable to come back for the time being.

Even if you could pass through walls, you couldn't keep passing through walls forever, right?

As Luo Qingfeng walked further away, Nightingale and Liu Tiantian emerged from the darkness.

"She's not home."

Luo Qingfeng said briefly, a sudden sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Where do you go when you're not home?

"Green Bamboo Garden!"

He was startled and immediately quickened his pace!

Liu Tiantian said with a serious expression, "If someone isn't home at this time, they're the most suspicious. I need to go and tell the captain right away."

Having said that, she immediately darted away.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly turned his head and said, "Sister Nightingale, you continue to stay here and guard her. If she comes back, go and tell me immediately."

The nightingale nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, but said again, "Let me use the nameplate you just took out."

Nightingale immediately took out the nameplate and handed it to him.

Luo Qingfeng took the nameplate, took off his scholar's robe, changed into a tight-fitting outfit, put on a mask, and then rushed back to Qingzhu Garden as quickly as possible.

He encountered many guards along the way, but they immediately let him pass after seeing the nameplate in his hand.

Soon, Luo Qingfeng returned to the Green Bamboo Garden.

The room was pitch black and completely silent.

Luo Qingfeng went to the window and glanced at the white powder he had scattered on the ground before leaving. His heart clenched.

A pair of small footprints were clearly visible on it!

Meanwhile, there were also traces of a small hand pressing on the white powder on the windowsill.

Someone has entered the house!

His heart suddenly started pounding. He immediately took out the Demon-Slaying Blade, held his breath, and gently pushed open the window with his other hand.

The moonlight streamed in, illuminating only a small patch of ground in front of the window.

Through the beaded curtain in the inner room, one could vaguely see that the bed curtains were drawn, and it seemed that someone was lying there, fast asleep.

Luo Qingfeng climbed through the window, gripped the knife in his hand, and walked step by step toward the bed in the inner room.

When he parted the beaded curtain and walked to the bedside, he saw that there seemed to be only one figure lying inside the curtain. Hearing the even breathing, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

But he remained vigilant.

He gripped the knife tightly in one hand, and slowly reached out with the other, gently parting the curtain.

On the bed, Xiao Tao was curled up in the quilt, her little face rosy, sleeping soundly.

There is nothing else besides that.

Luo Qingfeng stared at the little maid for a while, and his rapidly beating heart finally calmed down a little.

He turned around and looked out the window.

Moonlight streamed onto the windowsill; all was quiet outside, and nothing seemed amiss.

At that moment, from under the dark bed behind him, a small, bloody hand slowly emerged...

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to turn around, that small hand grabbed his ankle and pulled him under the bed with a "whoosh"!

Luo Qingfeng was shocked and hurriedly tried to stab with the broken knife in his hand, but his vital point was grabbed and his wrist was bitten hard.

The pain struck suddenly!

Luo Qingfeng loosened his grip, and the Demon-Slaying Blade fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to strike with his other fist, a sudden pain shot through his vital point, causing him to shudder and go limp. His clenched fist fell limply to the ground.

The figure pressed down on him, then suddenly chuckled, biting his ear and whispering, "Don't move... I'll do it... Even though I'll drain you dry, you'll be very happy, very happy..."

With that, she ripped his clothes to shreds.

Just then, the maid on the bed suddenly woke up, stirred, and said in a languid voice, "Who? Who's speaking? Where's the young master?"

Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth, but dared not make a sound, nor did he dare to make any further movements.

Suddenly, her small mouth bit his ear again, whispering, "Be good... and I won't kill her..."

Luo Qingfeng's whole body stiffened, and after a moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Has the young master not returned yet?"

The maid on the bed murmured something, turned over, and quickly fell asleep again.
