Below an inaccessible, deserted mountain outside Yan Jing City, there was a run-down, small courtyard with only one door.
Very little people knew that the person who lived here was the third daughter of the famous physician in Yan Jing, Nalan Zhengze's daughter, Nalan Hexi.
As everywhere was barren and had very little spiritual influence, even bird beasts did not appear. One could not plant spiritual grasses and trees, even normal fruits and vegetables could not survive in the area.
At this time, it was already late at night. From time to time, the wind blew over in the courtyard, carrying with it a dry and eerie coldness.
However, Wet Nurse Chen kept pacing up and down in the courtyard, looking at the broken door from time to time.
Missy had already been missing for more than a day. Why? Why had she not returned yet?
Her gaze turned towards the room that was still lit up and finally could not resist but to walk there.
She opened a small fraction of the door and then smelled a very heavy alcohol smell and heard very loud and noisy chattering.
It was already late in the night, but in the main room of the residence, there were still a bunch of slaves drinking alcohol and gambling together.
Wet Nurse Chen walked in carefully, and her face was shocked. "Butler Lee, Missy hasn't come back in one whole day. I'm really worried something has happened to her. I'm begging you, please be nice and send someone to find Missy."
The noise in the room was instantly silenced.
"I was wondering why my luck was so bad today. It turns out there's this jinx that's annoying me."
Butler Lee, who was sitting right in front of the host seat at the Pai Gow table, kicked the stool beside him harshly; and anger was written all over his face. "What has it got to do with me when your Missy hasn't returned? Perhaps she had run off with some other man outside."
The house erupted into laughter, and someone added, "I heard her mother had seduced Doctor Nalan and was thick-skinned enough to be his concubine. As expected, the daughter will follow in the mother's footsteps. Her mother's so slutty; how good can her daughter be?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wet Nurse Chen's face was as red as a tomato, and her pair of eyes was protruding out due to anger. "I don't allow you to defame Madam and Missy."
"Hahaha, she's just a bastard, and she doesn't even have the qualifications to cultivate to become a deity. How dare she call herself a Missy? She shouldn't humiliate herself." A pageboy standing next to Butler Lee mocked.
"That's right. If it wasn't for Doctor Nalan's kind heart, why would he allow her to stay here and arrange for so many of us to serve her? Nonsense. Some bastard that came from nowhere and a useless trash. Death is the only solution for her. If not, she'll ruin the Nalan family's reputation."
If that trash—Nalan Hexi—really died, then they could go back to the Nalan family; and they would not be sent to this sh*t place with no money and improvements in cultivation.
"Shut your mouths!" Wet Nurse Chen was boiling with anger as she pounced at the few people. "You bunch of ungrateful slaves. Old Master clearly sent you here to take care of Missy, but you only occupied the flat and even chased me and Missy to the storeroom, causing our lives to be miserable."
She was in an insane state; before Butler Lee could react, she actually grabbed a whole bunch of his hair, strangled his neck, and caused him to roar in pain.
Wet Nurse Chen looked as if she wanted to die along with him as she pulled at his hair with all her might while yelling. "If Missy dies, I'll bring you down with me.
"Even if I have to crawl back to the Nalan Residence, I will tell your immoral actions to Old Master. I don't believe Old Master will really ignore Missy's life and death. Even if Missy is being given up on, you bunch of shrew slaves that betray your master will not have a good ending!"
