Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pfft!
A loud fart resounded in the courtyard.
Quickly following was a foul smell that could knock people out.
The guards almost vomited on the spot.
But before they could recover, a series of farts erupted like firecrackers, popping and crackling, creating quite a lively scene.
The princes’ concubines rushed out of the house!
Qitian Yu was also on the verge of passing out from the stench. His handsome face contorted as if it had been crumpled like a rag.
Before he could even curse, his intestines started violently convulsing.
His complexion couldn’t help but change drastically, and he clenched his fists, trying to control himself.
But he couldn’t control it at all.
Pfft! Another loud and unrestrained fart echoed!
Qitian Yu’s face turned completely dark.
“All, it’s so itchy!”
“Don’t scratch it. Your face is covered in pimples, and you’ve scratched it all up.”
“Yours too, you have red pimples all over your body. It’s so scary!”
“What is this? It’s so uncomfortable!”
“All, my face! My arms!”
Several disheveled concubines, their attire as unkempt as Qitian Yu’s, seemed oblivious to their appearance as they scratched their skin in discomfort.
When they noticed the looks of their companions, they all revealed expressions of horror.
Even without looking in a mirror, they could guess that their situation was the same as their companions’.
Qitian Yu slowly began to feel the itchiness too. Seeing the terrified look of the women, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart. He suppressed the urge to scratch, and angrily shouted at the dumbfounded guards, “What are you idiots standing there for? Summon a physician!”
“Yes, yes!” One guard hurriedly rushed out.
Meanwhile, guards pursued Gu Xiaonan, while he darted around, finding hiding spots within the sprawling palace of the prince.
Leveraging his higher cultivation and small stature, he quickly shook off the guards and found refuge in a side courtyard.
However, with so many guards in the prince’s mansion, he encountered a group of them every few steps. He got lost again and didn’t know how to get back to the woodshed.
Just then, Xiao Bai suddenly jumped out of his arms and dashed toward a house.
Gu Xiaonan whispered, “Xiao Bai, where are you going? Don’t run around!”
“Squeak squeak!” Xiao Bai stopped and turned back, squeaking at him a couple of times.
Gu Xiaonan’s mind raced. Could Xiao Bai have discovered something?
Xiao Bai continued ahead.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaonan followed.
Entering the house, it was sparsely furnished, yet for some reason, Gu Xiaonan felt uneasy.
“Xiao Bai, why did you come in here?”
Xiao Bai jumped onto a bed and tapped the bed frame with its paw.
Gu Xiaonan squinted his eyes. “Are you saying there’s something strange about this bed?”
Xiao Bai nodded.
Gu Xiaonan walked over, tapped the bed frame, and found the sound odd.
After a bit of exploration, he discovered that a dragon-shaped carving on one of the bedposts could be turned. He gave it a spin, and the bed split open, revealing a staircase.
Gu Xiaonan picked up Xiao Bai and went down.
“A foul smell.”
Gu Xiaonan wrinkled his nose.
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.
Below was a secret passage, built with sturdy minerals, and adorned with oil lamps on the walls.
Certainly, the prince’s mansion was affluent, and there was no lack of resources, even for obtaining several star stones. Yet, curiously enough, they were relying on coal lamps to illuminate a hidden chamber. Quite peculiar. Could the repugnant prince harbor some strange obsessions?
Gu Xiaonan muttered softly, his big, bright eyes darting around as he walked forward.
Upon passing through a narrow passage, a vast space came into view.
“Hiss, what is that?”
Gu Xiaonan’s eyes widened, and he gasped in a deep breath..
