“Yu Yaqing went with people. Zhu Shu was worried about you, so we came back first,” Su Man asked, “Shall we go to the basement now?”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment and shook her head: “Forget it. We should save some time and go to the courtyard. If Yu Yaqing finds any clues, she won’t hide them.”
She thought Yu Yaqing was as straightforward as iron. She might be disliked, but she would never engage in plotting and scheming.
The day gradually darkened and the sun set faster than they had imagined.
Everyone instinctively quickened their steps.
Apart from the seven rooms for the brides on the first floor, the rest are all empty.
The rooms on the second and third floors were filled with gold, silver, and jewels.
The basement was full of odds and ends and dust – there was nothing suspicious to be found.
Apart from flowers, there was nothing to be found in the courtyard.
They had spent a whole day searching and had found nothing. The outside was getting darker…
Finally, the seven brides gathered in the hall.
Zhao Lanfen collapsed on the sofa, panting heavily, “You all look for it. I can’t go on anymore. I can’t take another step!”
Her hair was loose, her back was soaked, and her white wedding dress clung to her body like a pale spiderweb.
Cheng Xi was in the same desolate state, soaked through and through.
Both she and Zhao Lanfen had never been involved in games or mazes before. Their physical condition was the worst among the seven of them. They really couldn’t handle running around inside such a large mansion.
Bai Youwei looked at the setting sun outside and said softly, “I remember there were some weapons in a room on the second floor. Let’s have a look and pick some out. It’s better to be prepared in case something happens later.”
The game was not allowed to bring in weapons, but players were allowed to use the items in the game.
Yu Yaqing and Hu Ya stood up to pick weapons.
Cheng Xi and Zhao Lanfen, who were too tired to move, also forced themselves to stand up.
In the end, everyone except Bai Youwei ended up with a knight’s sword.
When the dinner bell rang, the Inspector laughed when he saw these women, with solemn expressions, dragging heavy iron swords into the dining room.
“Are you sure you want to do this? Dine with the Duke with your weapons! Like you’re plotting to kill your own husband. Aren’t you afraid the Duke will be angry?”
At his words, their faces changed, and they were at a loss whether to hold or drop their swords.
Zhu Shu looked at everyone and said softly, “The Duke will not be angry. We are just worried about him going out early and coming back late every day, so we want to give him a sword for self-defense. Quickly hide the sword under the table. This is a surprise gift we prepared, and we can’t let the Duke see it in advance.”
Her words were so convincing that even the Inspector took a second look at her.
Just as they had hidden their swords, a sudden boom rang out from the main entrance!
Without any warning, a huge figure appeared at the door!
His appearance was so sudden that everyone was startled and turned to look, their faces changing!
Included in the group was Bai Youwei, who was given a real fright!
“Where’s my dinner?! Are you trying to starve me?!!”
The man’s voice was deep and resounding, his roaring echoingly throughout the entire hall!
As he approached, they gradually saw what he looked like – rather than calling “he”, it was more appropriate to use “it” because….the Duke had clearly the face of a beast!
He was dressed like a gentleman, but he was as big as a giant bear, his face covered with black, purplish thick mane! Under the lighting, it gleamed with a blue tint!
Bluebeard!
He was Bluebeard!
Everyone felt a cold shiver, staring at him in horror.
Another loud bang!
A bloody buffalo fell onto the dining table out of nowhere, smashing the plates, shocking these women.
The Duke grabbed the horns and hooves of the buffalo, and effortlessly ripped off its head! Then, he opened his mouth, took a bite into its leg, tore off the fresh, red meat with a squelch and swallowed it after chewing.
“My brides, why don’t you eat?” The Duke’s cold eyes swept over them, “Could it…be that you don’t want to dine with me?”
