Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Night Pearl

Then, they heard footsteps coming toward the room. Bai Xifeng glared at the man telling him to stay quiet. The man nodded because he did not want to die yet.

"Hey, are you done changing his clothes? Lord Dong is asking." A man, probably a servant asked without getting inside the room.

Bai Xifeng signalled the man beside her to answer the question.

"No... No... Not yet." The man answered.

"Then, I think you should hurry up. Lord Dong wants to proceed with the ceremony as soon as possible." The servant said.

"Yes... I will make it faster." The man glanced at Bai Xifeng.

They heard the servant walk away from the room.

"Please don’t hurt me. I am here under Lord Dong’s order." The man begged for mercy.

"Well, if you don’t want me to hurt you... Tell me which direction that can lead me to your Lord’s treasure room." Bai Xifeng grinned while thinking about things.

Since Dong Han dared to invite her inside his residence like this, she would not hesitate to rob him. She hoped that he would not dare to kidnap others like this.

"What are you going to do?" The man asked in a scared tone.

"You don’t have to worry about it. Just tell me where the treasure room is." Bai Xifeng said. Then, she narrowed her eyes. "Or do you want to die?"

The man was scared. He was still young. He did not want to die just like that.

"You can go straight about 50 meters and turn to the right. After that, you will see the pond. Turn right again and you will see a courtyard. Lord Dong stored the precious items inside the courtyard. But I don’t know which room in the courtyard." The man explained in detail.

"You are quite knowledgeable about the matter." Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow.

"Well... I went there once while carrying the box to the courtyard. I was told by others that the courtyard is the place where Lord Dong stored his goods." The man stated.

Bai Xifeng stared at the man for quite some time. The man became nervous when he saw Bai Xifeng stare at him like that. After a while, Bai Xifeng smiled.

"I will believe you for now. However, you will have to sleep first." Bai Xifeng smiled.

The man started to feel sleepy. Unable to hold back, the man fell asleep immediately. Bai Xifeng dragged the man and put him in the closet.

After that, she slightly opened the door to check the outside. There was no one outside. It seemed this Lord Dong Han must be confident with the drug that he made Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei drink. He did not expect Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei to lose their consciousness and just pretended to be unconscious.

Bai Xifeng wondered where Liu Longwei was. Well, she did not worry about him. She knew that he would be able to save himself with her help.

The important thing right now was to go and take a look at the treasure room. She wanted to see what interesting items Lord Dong Han had in his possession.

If she found something that she liked, she would take it to herself. Well, let’s say it was compensation for bringing her here. If Lord Dong Han heard this, he might choked his own blood.

Seeing no one outside, Bai Xifeng came out. She followed the man’s instructions to the treasure room. When she saw some people walking toward her, she quickly hid herself.

"Yes, Lord Dong Han bring back two handsome men. I saw them earlier."

"Young Miss probably see them today at the market and wants them to be her husband."

"How many times this had happened?"

"I don’t know. It happened so many times."

"I pity those men."

"Yes, in the end, they lost their lives to a crazy woman who can not see handsome men."

"Shh... You talk too much. Watch your mouth if you don’t want to die."

"I know... I know..."

"Let’s go. We still have work to be done. They need to be done after the wedding ceremony."

Bai Xifeng who had been hiding heard everything that the maids talked about. So, it was not the first time this happened. She became the young miss’s target this time. The young miss saw her at the market when she just arrived in this town. What a bad luck.

Bai Xifeng continued to head to the treasure courtyard. Maybe because of the preparation of the wedding ceremony, not many people were around. They focused on the hall. So, Bai Xifeng easily arrived at the courtyard. The man did not say which room in the courtyard contained the items.

That did mean she needed to go and check the rooms one by one. She entered the courtyard and immediately went to check one of the rooms. When she looked at the room, she saw a light. The light came from something rounded.

Upon close inspection, Bai Xifeng noticed that it was a night Pearl. It would produce light when it was in a dark environment. Yes, she liked it. She grabbed it and put it into her storage rune.

She explored everything in the room. The next items were not so interesting as the night Pearl.

She continued to go to the next room. It was like a weapon room. Yu Qi looked once and lost her interest. She left the room.
