Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: Ask About Their Prized Treasure
The sheer force of the spiritual pressure forced the guard-servant to cough up a mouthful of vivid red blood! Before she could even attempt to lift her head, an invisible, crushing weight slammed down onto her spine, ruthlessly grinding her face flat against the cold stone floor! She trembled violently, her body shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
"Y-Your Excellency, please spare me! I beg for your mercy!" The woman sobbed desperately, tears and blood streaming down her cheeks while her head remained pinned firmly against the ground. "I did not know my place! I had no idea Your Excellency was a high-tier, supreme cultivator!"
Nanny Wang, who had been smugly watching the scene with her arms crossed moments earlier, instantly turned as pale as a corpse.
"Y-You... You two..." Nanny Wang stammered, her voice shaking violently as she frantically took several trembling steps backwards.
The horrifying truth finally dawned on her. These two young ladies were not weak, helpless, delicate little sheep waiting to be slaughtered and abused. They were absolute monsters clad in human skin, terrifying cultivators whose power vastly exceeded anyone in this town! And she had just casually ordered her servants to attack them!
Bai Xifeng slowly walked toward Nanny Wang, her boots clicking softly against the stone tiles. Each step she took was completely relaxed and unhurried. Yet, with every single step Bai Xifeng took, the atmospheric gravity around Nanny Wang became exponentially heavier and more suffocating.
Nanny Wang wanted to run. She desperately wanted to turn around, scream for help, and sprint out of the mansion! Unfortunately, her legs completely betrayed her, refusing to budge an inch. It felt as though her feet had been nailed deep into the bedrock below! All she could do was stand there, petrified, helplessly watching her worst nightmare approach her step by step.
"Humph! Why don’t you say something now?" Bai Xifeng asked coldly, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "Earlier, you were so loud and talkative. What happened? Did the cat suddenly drag your tongue away?"
Nanny Wang’s face drained of whatever colour remained. She was in a state of absolute, blind panic. Her survival instincts screamed at her to yell out and call for Young Master Su and the mansion’s senior guards! However, before she could even open her mouth to utter a single sound, she suddenly felt a terrifying mountain of crushing spiritual energy crash directly down onto her shoulders!
"Ugh!" Nanny Wang let out a sound.
Her legs instantly gave out under the sheer load.
BAM!
Nanny Wang dropped heavily to her knees, the stone floor beneath her cracking from the impact! The spiritual pressure was so immensely dense that her lungs couldn’t even expand to draw in air. Just like the guard-servant before her, Nanny Wang was completely and utterly powerless to resist! In fact, she fell even faster and harder because her own base cultivation was vastly inferior to the two guards!
"Your Excellency, please have mercy! Forgive me!" Nanny Wang wept, banging her head against the stone floor in desperate bows.
Bai Xifeng looked down at her grovelling form with an ice-cold, contemptuous expression.
"Judging from your smooth, practised actions earlier, it seems you are quite a seasoned professional at managing this exact line of work." Bai Xifeng chuckled coldly, her tone dripping with venom. "Kidnapping innocent young girls, tearing them away from their families, and dragging them to your filthy Young Master Su to serve as his disposable concubines... You must have committed this exact crime countless times before."
Nanny Wang’s body shuddered violently as a cold sweat soaked her clothes. She finally realised with terrifying clarity that the young lady standing over her was not merely a powerful figure, but someone she should have never, ever dared to provoke. She had made a catastrophic, fatal mistake, and there was no turning back.
Bai Xifeng smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into delicate crescents as she looked down at the kneeling Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang instantly broke out in a drenching cold sweat the second she saw Bai Xifeng smiling at her like that. Her instincts screamed in sheer panic. It was never a good sign when someone smiled so sweetly and radiantly, especially in a life-or-death situation like this.
"Old woman, what is the single most valuable treasure hidden in this entire mansion?" Bai Xifeng asked, her voice light and melodic.
"H-Huh?" Nanny Wang was completely stunned for a moment, blinking in confusion.
"Don’t tell me a veteran like you doesn’t even know where the good stuff is kept?" Bai Xifeng raised a subtle eyebrow, her tone dropping slightly.
"I-I don’t know all the details, but I heard that Young Master Su keeps a rare, high-tier breakthrough pill hidden in his private quarters!" Nanny Wang stated hastily, eager to offer up any information to save her own skin.
She had naturally assumed that two young cultivators would be utterly thrilled and starry-eyed upon hearing about a prized breakthrough pill. However, to her complete bewilderment, all she saw in the eyes of the two young ladies was complete, absolute indifference.
What on earth?! Why didn’t these two young girls show even a flicker of excitement upon hearing about such a precious breakthrough pill?!
"Now, what other valuable treasures does your Young Master Su have hidden away?" Bai Xifeng stated, her cold, sharp gaze locking onto the trembling old woman. "Answer my question very carefully this time. And don’t bother wasting my time mentioning any ordinary pills or medicinal elixirs."
Nanny Wang was utterly confused by the demand. Usually, rare breakthrough pills and miracle elixirs were the absolute highest priority for any travelling cultivator seeking to increase their strength. Why on earth were these two strange young ladies acting so completely indifferent toward such priceless treasures?
