Chapter 193: Dealing with Jiang Yulang
"Young Master, how did you know Jiang Yulang was with me?" Xiao Mimi asked with a look of astonishment.
This person not only possessed terrifyingly high martial arts and lightness skills, but he also seemed to know a great many things.
"Don't worry about how I know; just bring him here," Yu Liancheng waved his hand. "Of course, if you have great confidence in your lightness skills, you could also try to run away directly."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Xiao Mimi said with a forced smile, then turned and left.
"Jiang Yulang? Could it be that you are talking about the son of the 'Great Hero of Jiangnan', Jiang Biehe?" Xiaoxiannv Zhang Jing asked in surprise.
"Correct, it is indeed his son," Yu Liancheng nodded.
Zhang Jing's eyes flickered: "Edo rumors say that in the Jiangnan region, an extraordinary hero has emerged, the first person since Yan Nantian worthy of the title 'Great Hero'. How could his son be here?"
"Great Hero? Heh," Yu Liancheng gave a cold laugh, which seemed to carry an indescribable sense of mockery.
Just as Zhang Jing was about to ask more, Xiao Mimi had already brought a boy over.
The boy had delicate features, but he was sallow and thin, looking as if he were stunted. He hunched his shoulders and back, shivering incessantly, yet his eyes would occasionally dart toward Xiao Mimi's towering bosom, and when he saw Zhang Jing, a flash of heat seemed to pass through them as well.
Xiao Mimi backhanded the boy across the face and sneered, "Little brat, don't let your eyes wander."
"Yes..." The boy covered his face, lowering his head even further, but once everyone could no longer see his face, his expression was filled with murderous intent, and the viciousness in his eyes was truly frightening.
But the moment he raised his head again, he returned to a pitiful, wretched appearance.
Yu Liancheng looked at the boy, then turned to Xiao Mimi and said, "Do you want to live?"
"I do, of course I do. As long as you can spare me, Young Master, I am willing to do anything," Xiao Mimi said immediately.
"Good. First, go and release all the 'concubines' in your house. This sort of thing should be based on mutual consent. If I ever hear of you ruining young sprouts again, don't blame me for being impolite," Yu Liancheng said.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Xiao Mimi nodded repeatedly; as for whether she would return to her old ways after leaving, it is likely that even she herself could not say for sure.
"Then, I want you to find someone to properly serve this boy a meal; look at how sallow and thin he is."
"Find someone to serve him?" Xiao Mimi suddenly cried out, "Young Master, you don't know him..."
"Then do you wish to die?" Yu Liancheng narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of dangerous intent.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I don't know what kind of person you want me to find to serve him, Young Master," Xiao Mimi asked hurriedly.
Yu Liancheng pondered for a moment: "Is this brat very lecherous?"
"This brat is indeed very lecherous. In the past, he did countless filthy things in secret, and even after coming to me, he hasn't been the least bit well-behaved."
Yu Liancheng thought for a moment, a smile of wicked amusement appearing in his eyes: "First, take him to be castrated, then find a few Kunlun slaves to take good care of him, so he can experience what those young girls felt."
"Hiss..." Even the notorious Xiao Mimi, after hearing Yu Liancheng's words, could not help but gasp, then she giggled, "Young Master, what a great idea. Why didn't I think of that before?"
"Go on down, and remember to take good care of him," Yu Liancheng waved his hand.
"No, I don't want to be castrated, I don't want Kunlun slaves, please, I beg you..." Jiang Yulang was so scared his face turned white, and he tried to bolt, but Xiao Mimi grabbed him instantly, as if she were catching a little chick.
"Goodbye, Young Master, I'm leaving." Xiao Mimi turned and left.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but say, "She is one of the Ten Great Villains; are you just going to let her leave like that?"
Yu Liancheng shrugged and said, "Whether I kill her or not is of no consequence. But if she were dead, would you be the one to help that brat get castrated and find Kunlun slaves to serve him?"
Zhang Jing asked in confusion, "What does 'castrated' mean? And why find Kunlun slaves to serve him?"
Yu Liancheng raised an eyebrow, once again revealing a smile of wicked amusement: "Since your thirst for knowledge is so strong, then I must certainly tell you."
He explained a few sentences, and Zhang Jing's face, which was like snow reflecting the morning glow without the need for powder, suddenly turned green, then shifted from green to white, and she even made a retching expression, as if she had heard the most disgusting thing in the world.
After a long while, she finally recovered and couldn't help but stomp her foot: "How can you... how can you be like this? Does he have some deep, irreconcilable hatred for you?"
"He isn't worthy. I just don't like him or Jiang Biehe, and I don't want them to die too easily," Yu Liancheng said indifferently.
"But... but isn't Jiang Biehe the Great Hero of Jiangnan praised by everyone?"
"Great Hero of Jiangnan?" Yu Liancheng gave a cold laugh: "I assume you have heard of the reputations of the Ten Great Villains; they are truly wicked to the core. Although they are bad people, sinister and vicious, others can still see it, and they know to be cautious and guarded when they hear their names. But after Jiang Biehe does all sorts of evil, people still call him a Great Hero. Compared to him, the Ten Great Villains are simply not qualified."
"Is that so?" Zhang Jing's brows furrowed slightly.
A single speech from Yu Liancheng was not enough to demote the illustrious Great Hero of Jiangnan in her heart to someone more detestable and vicious than the Ten Great Villains.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about such things. Now that there are only the two of us left in the Underground Palace, we can start looking for the treasure." After saying this, Yu Liancheng walked out of the room.
"Wait for me." Zhang Jing also hurriedly followed.
Yu Liancheng did not have a deep mastery of the art of mechanisms; he had only read two books on the subject from the collection of Xiaoyao Hou.
Fortunately, his martial arts were very brilliant, and his insight was quite good. Coupled with having read the original story and knowing many detailed clues, he was not afraid of failing to find it.
The two walked and looked, occasionally touching a mechanism here or there. After half an hour, they arrived in a strange room.
The reason this room was strange was that it was an octagonal room with eight walls; some were Iron, some were steel, some were stone slabs, and some were gold...
In the octagonal room, there were no tables or chairs. Because it was underground, there were no spiderwebs or dust, and it was unknown where the air came from.
There were only winches in the room.
Winches of all sizes and shapes were used to open the room.
Yu Liancheng smiled and said, "How is your luck?"
Xiaoxiannv raised her head proudly: "My luck has always been quite good."
Yu Liancheng said, "Good, you choose a door to open and try."
Xiaoxiannv looked at the smiling Yu Liancheng, pondered for a moment, walked to a stone wall, and pressed her hand on the winch. With a "creak," the winch turned. That stone wall suddenly rotated, revealing a doorway.
"Ladies first, please." Yu Liancheng gestured with his hand.
Xiaoxiannv lit a fire starter and walked in front.
But she came out very quickly, her face already white.
Because that room was filled with corpses, all of them skeletons wearing clothes.
