Peerless Young Master

With a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe, Li Xuan suddenly woke up, gasping for breath. Soon, a pungent and unpleasant smell made his face distorted.

After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Li Xuan finally realized that he had been kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped him was the housekeeper.

At this moment, the butler had his hands behind his back, and his calm eyes looked cold in the flickering firelight, like a superior.

"Butler, what are you doing? Why did you tie me up?" Li Xuan used his arms to exert force, but the rope was too tight and he couldn't break free at all.

"Tell me, who are you and what is your purpose in approaching the princess?" The butler's eyes fixed, and his voice was deep and powerful, like the echo of a death knell.

Have I been exposed?

The housekeeper discovered that I was an undercover agent of the Shenlong Cult and wanted to pry open my mouth so as to get rid of these pawns.

But how was I exposed?

For a moment, many questions emerged in Li Xuan's mind one by one: "Butler, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Humph"

The housekeeper snorted coldly, "You don't have to struggle. This rope is made of special material. Even a warrior can't break free. I also sent someone to check you after I tied you up. There's no poison hidden in your teeth.

If you don’t tell me, I’d like to see how tough your bones are.”

"Butler, what do you want me to explain? I know nothing," Li Xuan said anxiously.

"What is your purpose in approaching the princess?"

"You asked me to deliver food to the princess, and after a few visits, I became close to her."

"I don't believe you don't know the princess's reputation. Ordinary people don't dare to approach the princess, let alone her mansion. Why do you dare to come?" the butler asked.

"I don't know. Someone recommended a job to me, saying it paid well, had little work, and included food and accommodation, so I came."

housekeeper:……

The butler took a few steps towards Li Xuan. The scorching firelight made his face red, and his eyes in the shadows were like an abyss, which made people shudder.

“It seems that you are determined not to tell me. You think that because you have a good relationship with the princess, I will let you go for the princess’s sake.

If you think so, you are too naive.

Anyone who has evil intentions towards the princess must die."

After saying that, the housekeeper came to the stove, picked up a piece of red-hot iron, and spat on it. Immediately, a sizzling sound was heard.

If this were to stick to a person, it would be extremely painful.

"I'll give you one more chance, tell me or not"

Li Xuan's pupils widened instantly, and then quickly contracted violently, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene. The huge sense of fear engulfed him like a tide.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

This thing is iron. The pain from being burned by it will definitely make you unforgettable for the rest of your life.

This is simply inhuman torture.

Li Xuan struggled violently, horrified in his heart: "Butler, you can't do this to me. I am loyal to the princess and have no second thoughts. If you kill me, the princess will never let you go."

As the housekeeper got closer and closer, Li Xuan seemed to have heard the sound of his heart exploding, and his speech speed became faster and faster: "I don't know anything. It was obviously you who let me get close to the princess. What does it have to do with me?

You are the ones who are afraid of those rumors. I know nothing. Don’t kill me…”

The housekeeper frowned, stood there holding the iron chain, and watched Li Xuan talking nonsense. Could it be that the other party was really innocent, or just simply ignorant and innocent?

Or perhaps the princess's ominous body had no effect on him.

I was overthinking all this.

Suddenly, Li Xuan became manic and roared to the sky: "Ah, bastard, I will not let you go even if I die. Come and kill me if you dare!"

Bang!

The butler, who was lost in thought, was startled by the shout and the branding iron in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

After a snap of his fingers, Li Xuan saw that he felt no discomfort. He opened his eyes and looked at his body carefully. After making sure that he had not suffered any injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the butler and said cautiously: "Butler, I am really innocent and know nothing. You have to believe me. I am a good person."

The butler remained silent and bent down to pick up the iron wire on the ground.

This scene frightened Li Xuan, and he began to struggle again. Before he could speak, the housekeeper spoke first: "Don't be nervous, I believe you."

As he said this, he placed the branding iron in the stove, then waved his hand, and two servants came up and untied Li Xuan.

Li Xuan shook his body and said tentatively: "Butler, you believe me now."

"All of you get out"

As the servants left, only the butler and Li Xuan were left in the dark and stuffy room, with the faint sound of burning flames.

"Do you know why I believe you?" the butler said, with a hint of relief and helplessness in his tone.

"The housekeeper has a keen eye and a clear mind. I'm sure he can see that I'm innocent at a glance," Li Xuan flattered a little.

The housekeeper smiled and said nothing: "I have watched the princess grow up since she was a child. When the princess was just born, the queen died of dystocia. After that, many bad things happened.

All this is related to the princess. The evil star and the ominous entity appeared from that time.

For more than ten years since the princess came here, she has been alone, with no one to accompany her, no one to talk to, and no idea what the outside world is like.

I thought it would be like this for the rest of my life, but I didn’t expect you to appear;

It's incredible that you're not afraid of the princess's ominous body."

At the end of his speech, a smile appeared in the corner of the housekeeper's eyes: "In more than ten years, this is the first time I have seen the princess smile. She is so happy and carefree, just like the queen."

"Butler, what are you doing? You can't do that."

Suddenly, the butler bowed to Li Xuan, and the latter quickly raised his hand.

"Perhaps you are a special person like the princess, which is why you are not affected by her influence. The reason I tested you was to see if you had any ulterior motives. Now it seems that I was overthinking it."

Hearing this, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Old man, I knew you were bluffing. Fortunately, I held on to the end.

"Butler, there's no need to do this. You're also thinking about the princess. Although I don't know why I'm not afraid of the princess's ominous body, I'm also very happy when I'm with her."

“I will leave the princess to you from now on. I am old and don’t have much time left to live. Before I die, I will be satisfied to see the princess be like a normal person.

When I get to the underworld and see the Empress, I will have no regrets."

Facing the housekeeper's emotional outburst, Li Xuan did not respond: "Housekeeper, this is wrong. You look very energetic and you will definitely have no problem living to be a hundred years old.

The princess is still young, and the mansion cannot survive without you and Optimus Prime."

After a while, Li Xuan left the room. A cold wind blew on him, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

No matter how much I planned, I never expected the housekeeper to come back.

But fortunately, this matter is over.

You old thing, you dare to scare me? When I kidnap the princess one day, I'll see where you can cry...
