Chapter 31: Entangling Vines
She wanted to warm and redeem them.
He Yuzhang's expression didn't change at all in response to this concern. He just said helplessly.
"I've seen so much that I can only feel helpless. But that person ran upstairs with injuries, so there must be a lot of blood upstairs. I'd like to trouble you to clean it up."
Qiao Xianxian looked at the corpses on the ground and the rotten food on the table, and she nodded without hesitation.
There was only the man who ran away upstairs, and he was seriously injured. She would be fine as long as she hid. Besides, she could go upstairs and pretend to meet the young master she had heard about. It was better than dealing with the restaurant in any way.
After Qiao Xianxian hurriedly took the rag and went upstairs, Jiang Xinglan looked at He Yuzhang sarcastically.
"He killed people without leaving any blood. I don't know how many people he deceived with this gentle mask."
There was a sting in his voice, and He Yuzhang knew who Jiang Xinglan was talking about.
He Yuzhang curled his lips and smiled, looking at the things on the carriage outside the manor, he accurately found what he wanted and said.
"The Second Young Master probably doesn't need any lady's stuff, so I'll take these away."
Seeing his movements, Jiang Xinglan hurried over and said, "Who said I don't want it? Butler He is not the only one who has gifts for others."
He Yuzhang: "I am giving it to my fiancée, who is the Second Young Master giving it to?"
Jiang Xinglan snorted coldly, supported the carriage, jumped up, carefully held the luxurious dress in her hands, and said with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not like you're the only one allowed to have a fiancée, I have one too!"
He Yuzhang's expression gradually turned cold.
The servants who were moving people out didn't know why these two men had fiancées and the tone of their conversation was so weird.
But they were both people they couldn't mess with, so the servant lowered her head and placed the pierced, lifeless adventurer on the lawn outside.
The vines growing from the roses on the manor were seen flowing towards the people on the ground like water. In less than a minute, the bodies there had been completely devoured, and even the blood on the ground had been absorbed by the grass, leaving no trace behind.
The servant was obviously used to this kind of scene, so he treated the vines as a garbage disposal, lowered his head calmly, and went in to continue cleaning up, not daring to find out who the fiancée the two men were talking about was.
Upstairs, after Yun Jiao spent several minutes walking out of the room, the system finally couldn't help but go to the main system to ask for permission. With an independent system perspective, it could guide Yun Jiao.
"There seems to be no sound. Are those people who came to the manor still there?"
There was always darkness in front of him. Even though Yun Jiao was a weak person with good mental quality, he felt powerless and anxious in his heart after being hit several times in the darkness.
Originally, she wanted to go down when she heard the sound, but it took Yun Jiao a lot of time just to walk out of this very spacious room. If she went further down, even with the system to guide her, Yun Jiao was worried that by the time she got down, those outsiders would have been dealt with.
The system took a look around and saw the body of the last adventurer being devoured by countless vines. Its program was shaking as it spoke.
[They were eaten by vines! This host is so scary, we don’t want to go down.]
Yun Jiao was surprised that besides ghosts, there were also man-eating plants and strange elements.
She is a very weak person now, and even ordinary people can easily deal with her, let alone this kind of unnatural thing. If she encounters it, she will definitely not even have time to escape.
Yun Jiao, who is currently very weak, gave up the plan to go downstairs and asked the system where He Yuzhang, Jiang Xinglan and the two young masters were.
System: [I see those servants are very respectful to that bastard, he must be one of the two young masters, he and He Yuzhang are both downstairs, they seem to be looking at the caravan’s things.] After saying that, the system said in a strange voice, [That bastard is Jiang Xinglan, no, the heroine is here too, why doesn’t he go find the heroine?]
Yun Jiao paused with her hand that was holding the wall. She had never seen Jiang Xinglan face to face. Her only impression of him was that he had hair whiter than Mr. Jiang at the banquet. He was also a guy in the entertainment industry who would confront anyone he disliked, regardless of the person.
But when she thought of the man who kept distorting He Yuzhang in front of her and kept saying that he was her fiancé, Yun Jiao smacked her lips. Was this man's character ruined?
The system didn't like Jiang Xinglan, who appeared with a knife and almost stabbed the host.
After it finished speaking, it said it would take Yun Jiao to find another young master.
Yun Jiao collected her thoughts, followed the system's instructions, and carefully walked upstairs while holding onto the wall.
I didn’t know where to go. Maybe because I couldn’t see with my eyes, Yun Jiao’s hearing was extremely sensitive. She heard a heavy object fall to the ground, and then the sound of liquid dripping.
"Is there anything in front?" Yun Jiao asked the system vigilantly in his heart.
The system was so frightened by the scene of someone's legs being tied with vines and then thrown down, with blood gushing out and flowing all over the ground that it almost went mad.
[Host, that is the adventurer who came to the manor tonight. He is dead. There is a big hole on his body. There is a lot of blood flowing, and it is about to flow to the host's feet! ]
Yun Jiao trembled and moved back reflexively.
Listening to the system's description, Yun Jiao was glad for a second that she couldn't see it, but the next moment, she felt something cold sticking to her ankle and then slowly climbing up.
With such an unknown object stuck on her warm body, Yun Jiao couldn't help but shiver, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or the fear, and the fear of the unknown swept through her whole body.
Her hand touched the candlestick on the wall, and she asked the system, ready to smash the candlestick at any time.
"What is this?"
The system was also shaking. [The vines that killed the adventurers seemed to have their own consciousness. Host, you must be careful and don't anger them for the time being.]
vine?
Yun Jiao felt something cold, yet soft and not prickly on her leg. Was it a vine?
She stretched out her hand tentatively downwards, and the vines seemed to be able to sense other people's consciousness. Several vines that were still greedily absorbing the warmth and rich fragrance were vying to get into her palm.
One of the vines whipped the other competitors and successfully grabbed the position.
She was well-behaved, pretending to be a good baby vine, rubbing Yun Jiao's palm with her softest part, silently expressing her friendly and approachable attitude towards her.
Yun Jiao did not let down her guard against this strange creature that had just killed a person, even though the other party did not show its vicious side to her for the time being.
She touched it tentatively with her fingers, and immediately, her fingertips were tightly wrapped. The feeling of restraint and the feeling of blood engorgement in her fingers made Yun Jiao frown.
"open."
There was a hint of coldness in her words. The vine sensed her emotions, carefully loosened its fingers, and rubbed Yun Jiao's palm aggrievedly.
As if to express apology, the vine loosened its grip and wrapped around her wrist. Yun Jiao only felt a pulling sensation on her hand, and she lowered her head and asked.
"Are you taking me somewhere?"
