Chapter 1202 - 1206: Princess Consort Le (Part 2)
Chapter 1202: Chapter 1206: Princess Consort Le (Part 2)
In the water, there isn’t nothing; a few strands of aquatic grass still float.
They further accentuate the crystal-clear nature of the small pond.
But when Lin Xi saw these few strands of aquatic grass, a hint of unusual color flickered in his gaze.
If he wasn’t mistaken, these strands of aquatic grass are extremely rare in the world.
You could say they aren’t merely simple aquatic grasses.
Because they are exceptionally valuable medicinal herbs.
This kind of herb can cure many diseases and is also a potent tonic.
For example, if you have a weak constitution.
After brewing this aquatic grass in soup and drinking it, your condition will noticeably improve in a few days, and with continued consumption for a period, it’s possible to fully recover to peak condition.
Therefore, it’s incredibly valuable.
It’s simply far superior to centuries-old ginseng and the like, by magnitudes unknown.
"Is this unintentional? Or deliberate?" he couldn’t help but ponder secretly.
If intentional, then this Princess Consort Le isn’t what she presents to the public.
Regarding these matters, Lin Xi didn’t tell the two women.
However, upon reaching the door inside, he found the door extremely simple.
Why say simple?
Because this door was meant only to prevent animals from entering, but is ineffective against humans.
Opening it doesn’t require a lock at all.
There isn’t even a doorbell.
The two women rubbed their eyes, initially thinking they had seen incorrectly.
Finally realizing they hadn’t, they looked at Lin Xi with some astonishment.
Lin Xi said nothing, directly removed the overturned latch, and walked in.
Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu remained motionless, staring in astonishment at Lin Xi, with Luo Susu frowning slightly, saying, "At least knock on the door!"
"What if you offend the owner, and Xiaoxian can’t apprentice?"
"Are you responsible?"
Gu Xiaoxian tugged on Luo Susu’s sleeve, signaling her not to say that.
Lin Xi ignored Luo Susu and directly said to Gu Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, come in!"
Xiaoxian hesitated slightly, but ultimately followed Lin Xi’s words and walked in.
Standing outside, Luo Susu watched the two walk in, silently cursing, rascal.
Ultimately helpless, she followed inside.
But as she entered, she carefully examined the interior decor of the villa.
She scrutinized the potted plants.
Despite her extensive experience, she didn’t recognize many of the pots inside.
Moreover, some had exceptionally peculiar or wondrous designs.
Simply captivating.
In an instant, she felt Princess Consort Le must be someone with a very high quality of life, or intensely fond of potted plants.
There’s also sculptures and paintings.
Because the walls are full of them.
Did she make them all?
Such a thought suddenly arose in Luo Susu’s mind.
Strangely, it wasn’t Princess Consort Le who had someone else do it!
Ahead, Lin Xi, with Gu Xiaoxian occasionally glancing back at Luo Susu, walked straight toward the villa.
Of course, he also took notice of the potted plants and other decorations.
Yet at this moment, his primary focus wasn’t on these.
It was on catching a whiff of an unusual scent.
A scent of blood!
Inside the villa, there was a scent of blood, human blood at that.
What has happened?
Could something have happened to Princess Consort Le!
It’s notable that upon entering, the three of them found no servants, nor were there any guards.
Logically, such a large villa should definitely have many hires.
"You two, wait for me outside!" he turned and spoke to Gu Xiaoxian and the approaching Luo Susu.
His tone and expression left no room for doubt.
The two women weren’t clueless and had occasionally encountered danger alongside Lin Xi, or rather, Lin Xi had helped resolve such dangers.
"What happened?" Luo Susu asked with a furrowed brow.
Lin Xi, stepping forward, said, "Not clear yet."
"But hopefully nothing has gone wrong!"
Meanwhile, he thought inside that distinct as the villa is, its owner Princess Consort Le must also be distinct.
If distinct, then hopefully nothing major should happen.
But that scent of blood left him hesitant to be certain.
However, judging by the villa’s cleanliness, it likely wasn’t anything serious.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so neat and tidy.
Upon reaching the main door, he noticed the iron gate was locked from the inside, not easily pushed open.
Of course, with his strength, forcing it open wouldn’t take much effort.
Even if it were twice as thick!
Taking a step back to look, he saw the second-floor balcony nearby.
For ordinary people, without a ladder or such, trying to reach the balcony was impossible.
It was well over three meters, practically four.
To Lin Xi, with a slight jump, his hand grasped a small protruding section nearby.
Another slight exertion, his other hand reached the balcony’s edge.
Under the stunned gazes of Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu, he spent less than three seconds and was already standing on the balcony.
"This is even more impressive than Hollywood’s Spider-Man films!" the two couldn’t help but think.
Actually, Lin Xi, not wanting them overly astonished, deliberately grasped the slight protrusion below the balcony.
Otherwise, he could easily leap directly onto it.
Yet for these two ordinary women, the sight was utterly shocking.
"The scent of blood is stronger!" Lin Xi inwardly remarked, standing on the balcony.
Simultaneously, he sensed two people in the first-floor hall.
A man and a woman, separated by about four or five meters.
As if in confrontation.
However, their aura seemed weakened.
In terms of strength, he was still a certain distance away from them, with many obstructions, so it wasn’t very clear.
He only knew it wasn’t weak.
The balcony door was open.
He directly pushed it and entered.
Not pausing to examine the second-floor decor and arrangement, he headed straight for the stairs, going down.
Upon reaching the first floor, he discovered the hall was much brighter than he imagined, yet not dark at all.
Because despite the main door being closed, light from outside still shone in from various angles.
Coupled with some lights, it felt almost like daytime.
Though turning on lights during the day seemed somewhat odd.
Especially, the lights emitted colorful rays rather than white.
Thus, the hall felt not only bright but enveloped in a multi-colored environment.
Enchanting?
Such a notion suddenly flashed in Lin Xi’s mind.
"Excuse me, but who among you is Princess Consort Le?" Lin Xi’s gaze shifted as he abruptly asked.
Two more women were in the hall, ones he had just sensed.
Moreover, both were dressed in white shirts and pants, similar to the Emei sect from martial arts films, remarkably impressive.
In terms of appearance, the one on the left was considerably more attractive, likely scoring nine and a half on Lin Xi’s rating scale.
The other one was weaker in comparison, yet still above passing, scoring just over eight.
Notably, both women’s white clothing and pants bore quite a bit of bloodstains.
