462 Immortal Meat
Liu Sanniang retracted her power.
Mu Cong exhaled and looked at Liu Sanniang with enthusiasm. He really wanted to get close to her.
He really did not have any other thoughts. It was just respect.
Su Yanyu was the same. He asked. “Miss Liu, Hui Zhen has been captured by Lord Wei of Xuanyi Department. Are you going there? What did Hui Zhen feed people? Why does it smell so good?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I don’t know either, so I’m going to find out.”
Su Yanyu couldn’t hide his excitement. “Can I follow?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. Su Yanyu was inquisitive. Even if she wanted to stop him, he wouldn’t listen.
Wei Shilai took Hui Zhen away. He knew that this was a serious matter, so he immediately instructed his subordinates to guard her well before going to invite Liu Sanniang.
When he arrived at her place, he realized that there were many people present there already.
Wei Shilai looked at Marquis Su and cupped his hands. “Greetings, Marquis, Madam, and Young Marquis.”
Marquis Su also said, “Lord Wei is here for a purpose. There’s no need for formality.”
Wei Shilai nodded and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, I think you know why I am here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiu Sanniang nodded. “Sir, come with me to Suzhai Pavilion.”
Wei Shilai nodded.
Marquis Su and Mrs. Su returned home while Su Yanyu followed Liu Sanniang.
Mu Cong, Li Wei, Cheng Yan, and the others followed. They were in good spirits now and wanted to see what in the world was going on.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan went out together.
Soon, the group arrived at Suzhai Pavilion. The sky was already dark, and there were still many soldiers guarding outside. Most of the stench had already dissipated.
However, when they entered again, Su Yanyu and the others still retched. This was a physiological reaction.
Even if he couldn’t smell the stench anymore, he still remembered the disgusting smell in his heart. When he walked in, he would only remember how stinky it was.
Mu Cong waved his hand. “Lord Su, I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you outside. Go and take a look. Tell me about it later…”
He probably did not want to pass by this street for the rest of his life. His stomach felt like it was about to burst.
No matter how curious he was, he held it back.
Seeing the discomfort on his face, Su Yanyu said directly, “Then wait outside. If you really can’t, go back. I’ll take a look and tell you about it later.”
Li Wei and Cheng Yan hesitated. “Um…”
They did not want to go in either.
Su Yanyu looked at them. “You can all wait outside.”
He was also disgusted, but he could tolerate it.
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang in confusion. “Miss Liu, don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No.”
She looked at Chu Yan. He must be feeling very uncomfortable smelling the rotten stench.
Liu Sanniang suggested. “Chu Yan, why don’t you wait for me outside?”
Chu Yan squeezed her palm. “No need.”
Nothing was unbearable as long as he was with her.
Liu Sanniang was already used to Chu Yan squeezing her palm. She was also used to him saying ‘no need’. She did not say anything else because she believed that Chu Yan was capable of handling everything.
Suzhai Pavilion had four floors with a large plot of land in the backyard where they grew vegetables.
But now, the originally fresh and green vegetables were all rotten. Without the support of spiritual qi, they had revealed their original appearance.
Spiritual qi was only attached to the surface, but inside, these things were all rotten.
Suzhai Pavilion was famous for only serving vegetarian dishes. It was true that there was no meat. Even the oil was extracted from vegetable seeds.
Su Yanyu’s heart skipped a beat. “Are these what I used to eat?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had spent a lot of money in Suzhai Pavilion, but this was what he paid for? Su Yanyu felt terrible.
Liu Sanniang walked to the well and peeked inside. She picked up a wooden bucket to fetch the water.
A bucket of clean water was lifted up. It looked refreshing and made one want to drink a few mouthfuls. However, in a few breaths, the bucket of water turned black and emitted a stench.
Wei Shilai covered his nose. “Miss Liu, what’s in this well?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai. “Hui Zhen’s secret. Sir, find two strong people to salvage what is down there.”
Wei Shilai immediately gave the order. The constables were a little unwilling because what was down there must be disgusting.
They looked at Wei Shilai and said, “Sir, we’re all ordinary people. It’s obvious that what is down there is dangerous. We…”
Liu Sanniang fetched another bucket of water and put her hand in. The water instantly turned black and emitted a stench. She was the nemesis of evil.
However, the thing in the well was very tempting, so the person who went down to get it had to have a strong mind. At the very least, the person had to withstand the temptation.
Wei Shilai was a little angry. He rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll go down.”
Liu Sanniang said nothing.
Su Yanyu couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’ll go. I’m already disgusted by Suzhai Pavilion to the point of numbness. I’ll be fine.”
Liu Sanniang looked at him. “Go and call Young Master Mu over so that the two of you can do it together.”
Su Yanyu thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright.”
Liu Sanniang must have her reasons for suggesting such an arrangement.
Mu Cong quickly wrapped himself up tightly and entered. He only kept his eyes uncovered. He was a little afraid of going into the well, but since Su Yanyu was going down, he could only risk his life to accompany him.
Wei Shilai got someone to bring a rope and hang Su Yanyu and Mu Cong down. Su Yanyu shouted from the well. “The water in the well is not deep. It only reaches till my thigh.”
After saying that, Su Yanyu started to search in the water. The wall of the well was smooth, and so was the bottom of the well. He did not find anything. He searched carefully and touched a bulge. He tore it open and a layer was ripped off. He shouted. “I found it.”
