Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

moon in the sky was coincidentally blocked by a large dark cloud.
The pond had returned to its usual calm and the atmosphere was even more bizarre and desolate.

Hiding in the corner, Lin Mengya was unable to see the person’s face clearly, but she could clearly hear him swallowing.

“Why, why did this happen? There are no such things as ghosts in this world! This happened most likely because you were careless!”

The man, however, had not given up and strained his voice in a roar.

In the next second, all the men let out a horrible shriek filled with fear.

“God! A Ghost!”

Right at the center of the pond, a lifeless human body floated to the surface of the water.

Lin Mengya had a keen sense of smell.
Although diluted by the water, the odor of blood was unmistakable and it shot up her nose.

She reached out her hand to cover Baizhi’s eyes to prevent her from letting out a scream at the horrible sight, which would be too much for her.

It was a badly mutilated corpse.

At this moment, the body was standing upside down right at the center of the pond.
It bobs up and down in the water but did not fall flat.
At the sight, everyone was greatly shaken and terrified.

“So I, I heard… that over a decade ago, the Elder Miss Lin had been frightened by a ghost here!”

Someone blurted out the mansion’s secret with a trembling voice.

The dark cloud dispersed and the silver moonlight shone onto the maimed corpse, which appeared even more appalling.

“Run… quickly flee!”

Their sharp and unpleasant cries seemed to be forced out of their throat.
Thereafter, the remaining men ran off in all directions.
They seemed to think that lagging behind would cause them to be slain by the ghost.

They were in such a panic that they did not care which way they were headed.
One of them almost tripped where Lin Mengya and Baizhi was hiding.

Lin Mengya and Baizhi felt their heart in their mouth at that moment.

Fortunately, those men had all been so unnerved that none of them noticed that there were other people hiding behind the rockery.

Lin Mengya and Baizhi waited for those men to be completely out of their sight before they emerged from behind their hiding place.

By this time, the mangled body had completely disappeared.

“Master, master, are there really ghosts in this world?”

The fear that remained in Baizhi spurred her to tug on her master’s sleeves.
Although she had missed that blood-curdling sight, she could more or less guess what happened judging from the how frightened those men were.

“Where’s the ghost? If there really is, it would be in their hearts.
Rest assured that nothing will happen with me around.”

Lin Mengya, not taking this matter to heart, turned around and walked to the side of the pond.

She was pondering over the reason the dragon turtle had acted indifferently towards her.

How was it that it turned savage again? The answer might lie in the seal which was the key to the lock.

Perhaps this dragon turtle was reared by her mother or some professional trainer.
If this were the case, he would still be eaten if someone were to go near to the dragon turtle without carrying the key.

At this moment, her belief that the item which her mother had hidden was certainly very precious.
With so many layers of protection, even if the secret had been discovered, it would be extremely difficult to lay hands on the item.

However, were the men who came today here to seek the treasure?

Lin Mengya stared at the rippling pond.
Her heart was likened to the pond that could no longer revert to its initial calm.

She had hidden the little cloth pouch near her chest in her clothes.
All the servants in the mansion did not have the audacity to trail behind to check on her because they were afraid of her.

This way, Lin Mengya had escaped much trouble.

After Lin Mengya and Baizhi returned to their bedroom, she felt that she had been drained of all energy after a perilous night.

After washing up, Lin Mengya went to bed and only woke up around midday.

As Baizhi helped get Lin Mengya ready after she got out of bed, she heard the rumor that a few servants in the mansion had suddenly died of illness the night before.

The physicians in the mansion merely explained that they died of strange reasons.
However, they assured the people it was not pestilence and there was nothing to worry about.
Lin Mengya laughed grimly, knowing that those men had only been killed to be silenced.
These people were indeed ruthless and cruel.

“Could it be those same men who tried to get into the pond in search of something?”

Baizhi asked softly as she nimbly did up Lin Mengya’s hair.

Lin Mengya smiled but remained silent.
She thought that would naturally be the case.
Nevertheless, Lin Mengya believed that they were not simply there to look for the treasure.
Otherwise, why would they be eradicated after being used for once?

It only showed that they were too stupid and it was feared that they would leak out information.
Otherwise, the mastermind could have waited for Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng to leave before getting rid of those men quietly.

“Little Sister, have you heard what had happened in the mansion?”

Lin Nansheng, who had just finished practicing martial arts, was wearing a white long coat with his hair secured with a wooden hair clasp.

Not only was there no longer any sign of fatigue on his handsome face, but his eyes were also sparkling with light as he gazed at Lin Mengya.

“Hm, I’ve certainly heard about it.
Everyone was talking it since early morning as if they were afraid that no one knows about it.”
