Chapter 70 Extra (1)

The most discussed topic on everyone’s lips in the capital these days was the Luo Mansion, the wealthiest household in the capital.

First, people talked about the Luo family’s two unfilial daughters, who were promiscuous, fond of gambling, and incompetent. Everyone who saw them would avoid them like the plague, shaking their heads and sighing that rotten wood cannot be carved.

Then, they talked about how the Luo family had given birth to such an exceptional man like Luo Shaoxuan, with his peerless beauty and literary talent. His every move exuded the noble elegance of a great lord.

He was simply worlds apart from the other two.

It was said that Young Lord Luo possessed both talent and virtue, and the person he would be matched with in the future must be a woman of noble status and overwhelming power. To put it bluntly, just based on his appearance and demeanor alone, countless women of extraordinary standing were vying to make him their own.

But who would have thought that this man, who appeared to be both talented and good-looking in the eyes of outsiders, had another side that was extremely dark, even more bloody and cruel than a vicious ghost crawling out of hell.

In a secluded and gloomy small courtyard of the Luo Mansion, where weeds grew rampant and it was damp and dark, an ordinary person would surely develop an illness if they lived here for a long time.

But this was the place where Luo Shaoxuan had lived for eleven years, and he had long adapted to the environment here.

At this moment, he was sitting at a dilapidated wooden table, wearing a light purple splendid robe. On the jade tray on the table were plump black grapes. Luo Shaoxuan lazily propped his chin with one hand, while his other jade-white hand picked up a black grape and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully.

His pair of narrow, beautiful eyes contained not a hint of emotion, coldly glancing at the woman writhing in pain on the ground. His red lips curved into an eerie arc: “Big sister, how do you feel now?”

The woman was rolling on the ground in agony, the intense pain in her body distorting her face. She opened her mouth wide, but only rasping sounds came out.

She couldn’t even make a single cry.

Luo Shaoxuan was pleased by the woman’s anguished expression, narrowing his eyes in delight, licking the grape juice from the corner of his mouth. His voice was mellow and magnetic, very pleasant to hear: “Judging from big sister’s appearance, you must be overjoyed.”

He had specially asked Qingmo to snatch this from a strange man. He had been wondering who he should try it on, and this fool just happened to stumble upon him.

It was just as well, something that should have been eliminated long ago. He had already let her live long enough.

On the woman’s skin, whether it was her face, neck, or hands exposed outside, one could clearly see the squirming underneath. From time to time, some places had already been bitten through from the inside, and countless insects poked their heads out from under the skin, as if breathing the fresh air outside, before piercing back into the flesh.

The woman’s face was already distorted from pain, her eyes wide open, even the whites of her eyes had turned red, with maggots constantly crawling under her eyes.

Only when the woman stared with wide eyes and became motionless did Luo Shaoxuan stick out his pink tongue to lick the grape juice from his fingers. He stood up from the wooden table and left with a cold order: “Take the corpse to the cold cave to be used for raising corpse gu.”

“Yes.” A hoarse female voice sounded behind him. Qingmo emerged from the shadows and dragged the corpse away.

Luo Shaoxuan returned to his bedroom, took off his clothes, revealing his flawless white skin and excellent physique. His brows were filled with indifference as he picked up a new set of clothes that had been prepared and put them on.

With his belt untied, his clothes loosely draped over his slender body. His waterfall-like ink-black hair was let down, and he used his jade fingers to brush it behind him. Luo Shaoxuan finished dressing and stepped on the carpet with his bare jade feet, leaning obliquely on the luxurious couch, his narrow beautiful eyes staring at the chessboard beside him, his jade feet dangling from the edge of the couch, swaying lightly.

It was like a still painting of a beauty, with laziness and charm exuding from him to the fullest.

Even the birds outside the window were reluctant to break this beautiful scene, just quietly perching on the branches, tilting their heads and constantly observing the beauty in the room.

The sudden knocking on the door shattered the painting.

Luo Shaoxuan remained leaning on the couch, his eyes not even moving a bit, only coldly speaking: “What is it?”

The voice of a servant came from outside the door: “Replying to Young Lord, Miss Mu is currently waiting in the inner hall.”

Hearing this person’s name, a deep disgust flashed in the man’s eyes, and the coldness between his brows deepened: “Did she say what for?”

“Miss Mu said that there is a Gexian tour at Qinghu Lake today, and she wants to invite Young Lord to go boating together.”

The Gexian tour was also a seasonal event in the capital, occurring only twice a year. It was said that when night fell, the most charming and enchanting men would sit at the head of a boat, playing the pipa and dancing under the night.

Young lords from various families would go boating to see it, also hoping to find their beloved on this special day.

Luo Shaoxuan sneered coldly upon hearing this, his black eyes not rippling in the slightest. He picked up a chess piece: “Go tell Miss Mu that this young lord is not feeling well, and thank her for her kind intentions on behalf of this young lord.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she still had some use, he really wouldn’t want to spare her even a moment of his time.

Tsk, disgusting woman.

They should all die.

The man’s eyes were cold and frightening, and he directly crushed the chess piece in his hand.

The servant outside the door was unaware of his expression and only hesitated in place. Thinking of the gentle and refined Miss Mu, he gritted his teeth and said: “But Miss Mu said that if Young Lord doesn’t go today, she will wait there.”

Luo Shaoxuan tossed the shattered chess piece aside and directly lay sideways on the couch. His loose lapel opened, revealing his exquisite white collarbone. He twirled a few strands of hair in front of him with his jade fingers, and upon hearing this, he sneered coldly: “Since Miss Mu likes waiting, then let her wait.”

“…Yes.” The servant didn’t dare say anything more and left with the order.

But not long after he left, he came back again, carefully raising his eyes to look at the tightly closed door as he spoke: “Young Lord…”

“Speak.”

“Miss Mu is currently waiting for you outside the courtyard…”

As soon as the servant’s words fell, the crisp sound of something shattering rang out from inside the room. He lowered his head, not daring to look or think too much.
