Chapter 228 - Saving the Maids

Chapter 228 Saving the Maids

“It is none of your business.”

Tang Xia replied coldly and left after pushing Li Xianxian aside.

Behind her, Li Xianxian’s exquisite face became slightly twisted as she continued to scream hysterically, “Tang Xia, stop wasting effort! You will never win!”

Even after Tang Xia heard her voice, she did not pause. She continued to move forward without looking back and pushed Li Xianxian’s voice and figure far away in the back of her mind.

Everything that Li Xianxian had done had served the purpose of obtaining the final victory. In order to achieve her goal, she could be unscrupulous even at the cost of her own reputation.

However, Tang Xia was different. She treated Pearl, La Chapelle and the Hell Girls with sincerity. She was not just doing a live stream. She genuinely wanted to help them escape from the Garden of Eden and regain their freedom.

Many people thought that she was foolish to devote herself to them when she obviously knew that they were virtual characters.

However, that was how Tang Xia live-streamed. This was the intrinsic difference between her and Li Xianxian. Unfortunately, people like Li Xianxian would never understand this.

After she left the big auditorium, Tang Xia returned straight to the laboratory to find La Chapelle.

Tang Xia was unaware of the situation inside, so she first snuck into the storage room and pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop on the activity inside. However, it was silent inside.

She had clearly seen many scientists return to the laboratory previously. Why was there no sound? What was going on?

After some hesitation, Tang Xia pushed open the door probingly and a strange medicinal scent instantly filled her nostrils.

Tang Xia frowned subconsciously and was surprised to see the scientists sprawled all over the ground. They seemed to have lost their consciousness.

As Tang Xia was shocked and bewildered, she felt her head spin so fast that she almost fainted.

“Tang Xia!” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard, making Tang Xia recover some of her consciousness. She saw La Chapelle hand her a wet towel. “Use this to cover your mouth and nose.”

Baffled, Tang Xia followed her instructions. When she felt a cooling sensation on the tip of her nose, she recovered from her dizziness.

After she left the laboratory with La Chapelle, Tang Xia could not help but ask, “What exactly is going on?” Why were those scientists knocked out on the ground within such a short period of time?

La Chapelle smiled slyly. “While they were not looking, I placed some drugs in the vents that made them pass out.”

It turned out that while La Chapelle had been looking for the antidote, she had also hidden some chloroform on her body. When these scientists had returned, she had secretly placed the drug in the vents and quietly hidden up and covered her nose and mouth so that she would not be affected by the scent.

No wonder La Chapelle had told her not to worry. It turned out that she had been prepared. When Tang Xia heard this, she secretly praised La Chapelle for her thoughtfulness.

“I just found some antidotes in the cupboard. I combination with what I found previously, this should be sufficient to restore the consciousness of the maids in the Garden of Eden.”

La Chapelle spoke to Tang Xia as she took out a few green medicine bottles. After she had knocked out those scientists, La Chapelle had found the keys on their bodies and opened the locked cabinet she had been unable to search through previously.

One had to admit that these scientists were also very cautious. Other than being obscurely hidden, the antidotes had also been spread out.

Tang Xia nodded. Now, there was no need to worry about the antidote. The question was how to get the maids to consume the antidote. Judging from the amount of effort it had taken Tang Xia to get Pearl to take the medicine, it would obviously be very difficult to make the maids consume the medicine solely based on her and La Chapelle’s efforts.

After the two of them talked for some time, they decided to go to hell to seek help from the Hell Girls.

As soon as they reached hell, the Hell Girls hurled abuse at Tang Xia and gave her a hateful look upon seeing her.

“Why are you here again?”

“Get lost! You are not welcome here!”

“Nothing good comes out of seeing you.”

“Get lost, you jinx!”

“…”

This abuse and scolding attitude went on incessantly. The Hell Girls had been severely punished because of the last rebellion and thus directed their resentment towards Tang Xia.

Upon seeing this situation, Tang Xia and La Chapelle both felt very helpless.

“I know that none of you trust me now, but please ask your hearts. Are you really give going to give up on the chance to regain your freedom?”

Tang Xia stepped forward as she spoke, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the curses of the Hell Girls. In the face of their anger, words were simply too weak.

Hailada was the only one who did not insult Tang Xia like the other Hell Girls. Instead, she stood on her side, even though she appeared to be in a slightly difficult position. “Tang Xia, I believe in you, but we are locked here right now. What can we do?”

After the last rebellion, Chu Tianjiao had cancelled the free time of the Hell Girls and even locked the door. Every day, the door would only open briefly when the maids came to deliver the meals.

When Tang Xia heard this, she did not back off like Hailada had expected. Instead, she asked Hailada when the maids would come to deliver the meals. Coincidentally, this would happen soon.

A pensive look flashed across Tang Xia’s eyes before she exchanged a look with La Chapelle. They then hid in a corner and did not try to speak to the Hell Girls again.

The Hell Girls were very confused when they saw this. However, the things they said about Tang Xia were still unfriendly. “What kind of tricks is she playing again?”

“Let’s not waste time on her. The maids will arrive soon anyway.”

“She was the one who wanted to stay here. If she’s caught by the maids, it’s because she’s asking for it.”

“…”

The Hell Girls discussed this noisily. Most of them were gloating over Tang Xia’s behavior. Only Hailada, who was slightly worried, attempted to persuade her. “Tang Xia, why don’t you leave first? You need to preserve your strength in order to have an opportunity in the future.”

Tang Xia gave Hailada a slightly grateful look but shook her head firmly.

When Hailada saw this, she could only give up persuading her. Judging by Tang Xia’s confident expression, perhaps she really had a way of dealing with the maids.

Soon, the maids who were supposed to deliver the meal arrived.

Tang Xia and La Chapelle exchanged a look. Then, the two of them seized the opportunity to rush forward, restrain a maid and feed her an antidote.

After taking the antidote, the maid quickly recovered her consciousness. When she realized that Tang Xia and La Chapelle had saved her, she thanked them profusely.

The change was so sudden that all the Hell Girls widened their eyes. After they ascertained that Tang Xia’s medicine had really helped the maid regain her consciousness, the way they looked at Tang Xia changed slightly.

Tang Xia did not stay for long. After she got the keys from the maid, she opened the gates of hell one after another.

“You all saw this. I have already obtained the antidote that can restore the maids’ consciousness. As long as we save all the maids, Chu Tianjiao will no longer be able to stop us. However, this would require your help.”

The Hell Girls, who had witnessed the earlier scene, began to hesitate. It was obvious that witnessing the maid regain her consciousness had made a great impact on them.

“If you still don’t believe me, then there is nothing that I can do,” Tang Xia added as she gritted her teeth.

Finally, Hailada stepped forward. “I am with you.” Subsequently, many Hell Girls came forward firmly or a little hesitantly.

Staying here would just be a continuation of a life that was worse than death. Thus, they might as well try to fight.

Moreover, this time, Tang Xia had also found the solution to the most pressing problem: the maids. Perhaps they could really take advantage of this opportunity to escape and regain their freedom.

As this thought crossed their minds, a glow of hope surfaced once again in the eyes of the Hell Girls.

Tang Xia and La Chapelle watched the change in the Hell Girls with delight and distributed the antidote to them. The group of people quickly began to take action.

With the help of the Hell Girls, it would be much more efficient to feed the maids the medicine.

At the beginning, Tang Xia still needed to evade the maids who patrolled in groups. However, soon, they bumped into fewer and fewer maids on the way. Many of them had already consumed the medicine and regained consciousness. It was obvious that the Hell Girls’ participation had played an important role.

Tang Xia did not idle about. Whenever she got an opportunity, she would feed the antidote to any maids who were alone. All of a sudden, just as Tang Xia was caught up with one of the maids, a commotion was heard from the side.

“Tang Xia, what are you doing?” It was Li Xianxian, who was looking at Tang Xia in surprise.

Tang Xia rolled her eyes at Li Xianxian and continued to feed the maid the medicine without speaking. As the saying goes, there’s little common ground for understanding between people of differing principles. She had chosen a completely different path from Li Xianxian, so there was nothing to say.

However, while this was what Tang Xia believed, Li Xianxian did not agree. Although she did not understand what Tang Xia was doing at the moment, she subconsciously felt that Tang Xia’s actions wouldn’t benefit her.

Li Xianxian immediately yelled and tried to get the maid to catch Tang Xia. However, the maid had already consumed the antidote and regained her consciousness, so she obviously did not listen to Li Xianxian’s instructions.

Li Xianxian’s face changed and became even more aghast. Tang Xia had actually been able to help the maid regain her consciousness. This discovery made her a little flustered. If this continued, Tang Xia might really be able to lead others to rebellion!

If that happened, wouldn’t she be defeated? No, she had dedicated so much to this live stream. She couldn’t possibly allow Tang Xia to obtain the final victory!

A vicious look flashed across the eyes of Li Xianxian, who actually grabbed hold of Tang Xia personally. As she yanked Tang Xia’s elbow, she yelled out Chu Tianjiao’s name.

Even at this point in time, she still believed that her choice was correct. As long as she informed Chu Tianjiao in time, no matter how prepared Tang Xia was, nothing would happen. Only one person could be the final victor, and that person would be her!

Tang Xia, who was scared by Li Xianxian’s demented look, frowned. “Are you crazy?”

“You are the crazy one!” Li Xianxian yanked Tang Xia carelessly like a real shrew. “When Chu Tianjiao comes, you will be punished.”

As Li Xianxian said that, a smug smile appeared on her face. Even though Tang Xia was lucky and had not been punished by Chu Tianjiao previously, this time, Chu Tianjiao would certainly not let her off again.

When they got into a fight, Chu Tianjiao heard the commotion and rushed over.

However, before Li Xiangxian could look at him triumphantly, she saw the look of panic on Chu Tianjiao’s face. It was completely different from his usual high and mighty look.

“Quick! Come with me!” Chu Tianjiao pulled at Li Xianxian’s hand while speaking urgently.
