1658 Monsters’ Death 2
Compared to the twisted bodies and blood, he looked gentle and friendly, not fitting the crowd of bodies, but Ouyang Mingjing did not find it strange. He was totally straightforward about it.
He saw Gu Chaoyan as he walked into Xinlin Mansion.
He was still portraying a friendly image, showing the bodies to Gu Chaoyan. He made the introduction as he showed her around. “Monsters have strong vitality. They can hurt people as long as their brain is not dead. They can even heal themselves. So when my people tried to kill them, they cut off the limbs so that they would be completely dead.”
“…”
“These monsters are fast in movement and understand people’s orders, yet they aren’t very skillful, because they have been trapped and trained for too long.”
!!
“…”
“There are no other monsters for the time being, but you still need to be careful. I am not sure if those who release the monsters will continue, or if the witches will blend themselves in and sneak here,” Ouyang Mingjing said carefully, as he stood by the pile of monsters’ bodies.
Gu Chaoyan observed the bodies carefully.
The servants at Xinlin Mansion were already very far away.
Guards from Xinlin Mansion still felt frightened. They felt like vomiting when smelling the blood.
Sword One noticed that Elder Miss was observing the monsters’ bodies as if she were observing jewelry, which was a strange scene for her, yet it did not seem to be a huge problem.
So she shook her head, and went to prepare the tea.
After careful observation, Gu Chaoyan went out of the piles.
To thank Ouyang Mingjing for what he did, she asked Ouyang Mingjing to drink some tea in the yard, according to etiquette.
Ouyang Mingjing seemed quite amused.
He started to tell Gu Chaoyan many things about the monsters and witches.
Two hours passed, and Ouyang Mingjing almost understood what she liked – she liked tea and the pastries on the table.
It was very difficult to get Acacia beans in the teacup, because she might not be able to eat them. So Ouyang Mingjing chose to put Acacia beans in the pastry. He observed that she did not like wasting time, so she was definitely going to finish the pastry. And she liked them, which made his plan much smoother.
Ouyang Mingjing chose to leave after he placed the Acacia beans properly.
Ouyang Mingjing helped her a great deal, so Gu Chaoyan walked Ouyang Mingjing out of the mansion, as the mistress of this place.
When Ouyang Mingjing headed back to the court, she returned to the mansion.
There were no guests in the mansion, so Sword One and Qing shared the table with Gu Chaoyan.
“The pastry is very tasty today, try some.” Gu Chaoyan said as she sat down.
Qing took the pastry and started to eat. She was starving! The monsters’ bodies were very scary, and she had just puked all of her food out, so she felt like eating.
Soon, Qing ate all of the pastry.
Gu Chaoyan and Sword One were smiling. They were spoiling Qing!

On the street… inside the wagon of the Snow Territory.
Ouyang Mingjing asked seriously, “Elder, how long does it take before the Acacia beans start to work?”
