Meanwhile, in Liangzhu...
When Wu Qi was delegating his power in Dong Hai City and arranging the dragon pythons to be married, a dark cloud was gathering over King Bai Shan's mansion, and the atmosphere within was extremely tense. Several servants were carefully cleaning the bloodstains in the courtyard with ashes and scrubbing the boulder-paved floors to a mirror-like shine.
In the great hall, King Bai Shan sat gloomily behind a stone table. He was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of linen trousers. Two naked girls lay sprawled in front of the table, their necks twisted at a strange angle; one had a green fist mark sunk three-inch deep into her skin near her spine. Clearly, both of them were dead.
