"Alright, I'll believe you this once. But if you dare to scam this daddy, this daddy will drag you down to hell with me! "
"Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and scram!"
Clenching his teeth, Ye Yi Xin shouted in anger.
Glancing at Ye Yi Xin, the knife-scarred man placed the unconscious pearl on his shoulder and disappeared from the tent.
The moment the knife-scarred man left, Ye Laixin seemed to have drained all of his energy, and sat down limply on the ground.
Tears rolled down her face as she opened her mouth. She wanted to roar in anger, but she knew she couldn't. In the end, Ye La Xin bit her arm, and fresh blood seeped through her sleeves …
After escaping from the camp, the knife-scarred man stopped at a seemingly safe and dark place.
He threw the pearl onto the ground and stared at it with his eyes. Finally, with a vulgar smile, he took off the clothes on the pearl's body …
Pearl woke up from her coma when she felt a touch on her body.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the man riding on top of him. The pearl felt as if it had been thrown into an abyss, fear and shame engulfing its entire body.
"Ah …" "No, don't, scram, scram, scram …"
The knife-scarred man did not expect Pearl to suddenly wake up.
She used all her strength to grab the knife-scarred man's face, wanting him to leave her body. However, her actions angered the knife-scarred man.
Lifting up a rock, the knife-scarred man ruthlessly smashed down towards Pearl's head.
Again and again, until the pearl no longer had any breath …
Standing up, the knife-scarred man lifted his pants and cursed in a low voice, "How depressing, you all won't let me finish!"
Looking around, the knife-scarred man was ready to leave this place.
However, just as he leaped up onto the tree, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him down.
As he tumbled to the ground, the knife-scarred man looked up and cursed, "Who, who kicked laozi, are you tired of living?"
Just as the knife-scarred man finished speaking, a man landed gracefully.
His sight fell on the pearl which no longer showed any signs of life, and he frowned.
"You are truly a beast, not even sparing a palace maid!"
He knew that the palace maid, who had been killed by the knife-scarred man in humiliation, was someone close to Hua Mujiao.
"Say, who told you to kill her?"
The knife-scarred man looked at Nanyu in disdain, then stood up and spat on the ground.
"Who are you? I advise you to not meddle in other people's business. Do you believe that I will cripple you?!"
The knife-scarred man's provocative tone infuriated Nanyu.
With a flash, the dagger in his hand was quick, ruthless, and accurate as it slashed across the knife-scarred man's neck.
In an instant, the blood on his neck gushed out like a fountain.
Turning his head to look at the dead pearl again, Nanyu squatted down and closed her eyes, then casually straightened out her torn clothes to cover her exposed body.
With a tap of his toes, he disappeared into the darkness.
Within the palace in the camp, Mu Jin and Bai Zhan had just fallen asleep.
Because Luo Chen was injured, the guards of the palace were all other guards. A figure entered the palace without the guard noticing.
"Who?"
The man emitted a chilling aura as he looked at the two sleeping on the bed.
Looking at the white warrior who was sitting up, Nan Yu took two steps forward and said: "Who I am is not important, what's important is that the palace maid beside this woman in your arms was killed, don't you want her to go and see?"
Xiao Bai's half-closed eyes revealed killing intent. Just as he was about to speak up, Hua Mu Jin moved to the side.
In her dreams, Hua Mujie felt Bai Zhan Ke sit up, opened his eyes, and just happened to hear Nanyu's voice.
Suddenly, Hua Mu Jin sat up and asked: "Nan Yu, what did you just say?"
"You're awake? "Let's go to the south side of the hunting grounds. I can only help you with your matters."
With that, Nantan took another look at Bai Zhan Ke and left in a flash.
"Nantan, tell me clearly before you leave, Nantan …"
Hua Mu Jin shouted loudly, but got no response.
He turned to look at Bai Zhan Ke and asked with a frown: "Bai Zhan Ke, did he just say that my palace maid was killed? "Hurry up and answer me."
Hua Mujiao was panicking, and a bad premonition filled his entire body.
"Don't worry, what he said might not be true."
Calming the flower hibiscus, Bai Zhan Ke's eyes were deep.
"What do you mean that's not true? I'm going to take a look. I'm going to look for the pearl!"
In her mind, she remembered the threat Bai Linyu had given her, and Hua Mujiao flipped over and got off the bed, hurriedly running out.
When she returned to her own tent, there were no pearls in sight.
"Pearls, pearls …"
He shouted Pearl's name, but no one answered her.
After running out of the tent, Hua Mu Jin looked at the guards outside and asked anxiously, "Can you see the pearl? Did the pearl go back to camp? Where did she go? "
The guard was confused by Hua Mujiao's question, and respectfully replied, "Empress, didn't Pearl go with you to the palace?"
The guard's answer made Hua Mu Jin's anxious heart even more worried.
She turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hunting grounds.
"Jin'er, Jin'er …"
Behind him, he heard the sounds of battle, but Hua Mujie couldn't care less and flew towards the south side of the hunting grounds.
Frowning, Bai Zhan Ke followed closely behind.
Hua Mujiao searched for a long time south of the hunting grounds, but still couldn't find the pearl.
Just when she thought that Pearl wasn't in the hunting grounds, a pungent smell of blood in the distance gave her a bad premonition.
After chasing after the smell of blood, Hua Mu Jin saw the cold pearl lying on the ground.
"Pearls, pearls …"
He flew down, and when he saw that the pearl had been torn to shreds by his clothes and that his forehead was covered in blood, the tears in Hua Mujiao's eyes started to well up.
Huanmu Jin held the pearl in his arms, and choked with sobs, he shouted out the pearl's name, but the pearl in his arms didn't have a single trace of life.
"Pearl, what's wrong? Don't scare me, Pearl …"
"Pearl, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you return to the camp first. Wake up, answer me, please, answer me …"
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held the pearl tightly.
The sadness of Hua Mujie's crying made Bai Zhan Ke's heart ache uncontrollably.
"Pearl, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
She couldn't feel the aura of the pearl, and the wounds on Hua Mujiao's body began to crack due to grief. However, the pain from the wounds couldn't compare to the sadness in her heart right now.
At this moment, the guards who were following closely behind Hua Mu Jin and Bai Zhan Ke rushed over with torches in their hands, lighting up the entire area.
"Jin'er …"
Bai Zhan stepped forward and tried to call Hua Mujiao.
However, it was as if she didn't hear him. She only tightly held the pearl, as if she had lost her soul. It was truly worrisome.
Narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhan exhaled and crouched down.
He pulled Hua Mu Jin into his embrace, "Jin'er, you'll make me worry if you act like this."
"Your majesty, there's a corpse not too far away. It seems to be a killer of the martial arts world who escaped today!"
After inspecting the surroundings, the guard went up to kneel and report.
However, just as the guard finished speaking, Hua Mujiao's eyes turned blood-red as she looked towards the corpse of the scarred man.
All of a sudden, he stood up, stood in front of the guards, and spoke with a cold voice.
"Give me the sword!"
The guard was scared stiff by the bloodthirsty aura from Hua Mujiao's body. He hurriedly took out the sword at his waist and handed it over to her.
Hua Mujiao was holding a sword, the blade of the sword making an ear-piercing sound when it touched the ground.
Standing in front of the knife-scarred man's corpse, Hua Mujiao swallowed her tears as a strong killing intent wrapped around her body.
Since it was the South Island that had come to tell her of Pearl's death, then this man must have been killed by the South Island.
Intuition tells Hibiscus that the person who defiled and killed the pearl was this man!
With a raise of her hands, Hua Mu Jin stabbed at the knife-scarred man's body as if she was venting her anger.
Fresh blood splattered all over his body.
Hua Mujiao's cruel way of dismembering corpses made all of the guards' hearts tighten.
"Jin'er, enough!"
Suddenly, Bai Zhan Ke stepped forward and grabbed Hua Mu Jin's hand, stopping her.
He pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly, feeling as if something had suddenly grabbed his heart.
"Enough is enough!" "Do you know that the pearl was … was …" Hua Mujie did not say the following words out loud with tears streaming down his face.
In his mind, he began to recall all the scenes he had seen from the time he had first met the pearl.
For Hibiscus vulgaris, pearls were the first thing that made her feel warm after coming to this foreign world.
She had never treated pearls as if they were servants. In her heart, pearls were like her sisters, her loved ones.
But now, she was killed after being violated. Hua Mu Jin couldn't accept this fact no matter what.
"I know, I know!" I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Be good and calm down first. "
Bai Zhan Ke's heart ached as he looked at his hands, which were stained with blood.
Hearing Bai Zhan Ke's voice, Hua Mujiao's heart sank.
Narrowing her eyes, Hua Mujiao tried her best to maintain her calm before leaving Bai Zhan Ke's embrace. She turned to the guard and ordered, "Men, throw this man's corpse to every corner of the hunting grounds and feed the beasts!"
Swallowing his saliva, a few guards stepped forward to receive the order. "Yes, esteemed lady."
After carrying Pearl's corpse back to the camp, Hibiscus Blossom not only changed her clothes into a clean set of clothes, but also washed away the blood stains on Pearl's face. She only knew that Pearl would be clean even if she died.
Shortly after they returned to camp, Nan Ge also returned.
After calming the flower hibiscus, Bai Zhan Ke returned to the palace.
"Master, those assassins died on their way back to the torture chamber!" This subordinate is incapable, please punish him! "
Looking at Nan Ge who was half-kneeling on the ground, Bai Zhan Ke's expression didn't change much.
Then he said with a cold voice, "I had expected this. Since fifth brother dares to do it, then I will leave a way out for himself. You don't have to blame yourself."
"Thank you, Mistress!"
Looking up, Bai Zhan Ke touched the thumb ring on his other hand.
"Do you have any clues about those assassins?"
