188 Calamity (1/2)

”Heh. So, Baili Chen went mad after that?”

XuanRong snorted. She was currently inside the manor in the outskirt. YuShen was standing behind her, fanning her face as she poked a black centipede repeatedly as if she was teasing it.

”Reporting to WangFei, it was indeed true.”

XuanRong placed the stick on the table and closed the container that was filled with black centipede. Hearing YuShen's report made her uninterested.

Was it karma?

Baili Chen had surrendered after being sexually tortured repeatedly. XuanRong did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had planned to make his life more miserable but the heavens made its move.

Was it a relief or a punishment for him?

XuanRong sighed. Since things had gone that way, XuanRong believed that Baili Chen had already received his retribution.

”Mistress.”

Shu San entered the room and cupped his hand, showing curtsy.

”Mmm… What is it?”

This slave encountered a very peculiar plant from the merchants in the harbor.”

Hearing Shu San's words, XuanRong's eyes glistened. She could not help but be excited.

Looking at XuanRong's face that was full of interest, Shu San immediately showed a small box. Opening it, XuanRong saw a green-colored semi-round object that was full of spikes.

”Where did it came from? This tiny plant has many needle-like thorns. I have not seen this one.”

”According to the merchant, this plant is called cactus and can be found in the western part of the sea in another continent.”

XuanRong froze.

”Did you say 'western part?'”
