Bloody Kyoto

Liu Zihe, the butler, Xiao Si, and even the hidden guards on the roof were all shocked by what they saw.

Liu Zihe rushed over to check and found a layer of dust on the ground.

He rubbed the powder between his fingers; it was stone powder, and he was so shocked that his body trembled uncontrollably.

A pair of excited eyes looked at the old woman, "Senior..."

"How is it!" the old woman said with a smile. "Is this skill enough?"

"Enough, enough! Please wait a moment, senior. I will go and fetch the divine medicine right away." Liu Zihe seemed to be infused with boundless vitality, and suddenly became energetic.

With such a master in charge, any outsider who dares to come will surely die.

He wasn't afraid of being killed by the otherworldly beings; what he feared was dying before they were killed, then he would have no face to go down and see his family.

"Alright, I'll wait here."

The moment Liu Zihe turned around, a seed silently landed on him.

The steward and servants did not follow, because the master would not let them know where the divine medicine was placed.

Having witnessed the old woman's skill, the butler fawned over her, saying, "Senior, you are amazing."

The old woman (Li Nanle): "..." She moved two steps to the side with a look of disgust.

"Senior, do you need any servants?" the butler asked hesitantly, like a timid young wife.

Xiao Si stared at the butler in disbelief, wondering if his mind was too dirty or what.

How could he tell that the butler's use of the word "serve" had a different meaning?

Li Nanle's face twitched violently a few times beneath the silicone skin; this person really was flexible and adaptable.

Judging from her current appearance, she is probably older than his grandmother. How could he use the word "serve"?

That's what I was thinking, but I haven't gotten Yunxia's blood yet, so it's not good to ruin my image.

She pointed at him in the air with her hand, "You! You've already missed your chance. I never go back to what I've already given you."

After saying that, Li Nanle shuddered; she felt utterly disgusted.

The butler immediately looked like he was about to cry. Had he just missed his chance?

What should he do? He's afraid! He's afraid that when the otherworldly beings kill the master, they won't forget him either.

If this person were by his side, he would definitely be safe and sound.

In all honesty, he was simply doing his duty and never harmed anyone or cheated his servants.

He would be so wronged if he were killed like this.

Li Nanle saw fear in his tearful eyes and subconsciously asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this question, the butler could no longer hold back; tears streamed down his face, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Senior, I'm afraid the people from other worlds will kill me."

Hearing this, Li Nanle's eyes sharpened. "Why are you afraid? Could it be that you..."

"No, no, I have never done anything to harm anyone."

The housekeeper knew what she hadn't finished saying and hurriedly stepped in to defend himself.

"Since there's nothing, what are you afraid of?" After saying this, Li Nanle ignored him and focused her attention on Liu Zihe.

The butler felt something was off when he heard her words. Did she mean that if he didn't do bad things, the otherworldly beings wouldn't kill him?

Putting aside the veracity of this statement, how can the senior be so certain?

Furthermore, the implication of her words was somewhat biased towards people from another world.

The butler scratched his head, thinking he must have misheard.

At this moment, Liu Zihe had arrived at an abandoned courtyard. He looked around and then walked to the corner of the wall and picked up a rusty shovel.

Next, they came to a broken jar in the abandoned yard, moved the jar aside, and began digging.

Liu Zihe, focused on digging, did not notice a green figure behind him that resembled a snake, its head raised high.

A short while later, he dug out a box, opened it, and found five small bottles containing red liquid.

He took a bottle out of it, buried the box again, and then left quickly.

Li Nanle's lips curled up as she looked around. She didn't rush to make a move, after all, she could only control one vine. If the experts all attacked with their swords at the same time, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Liu Zihe handed the bottle containing the blood to Li Nanle. Li Nanle took it but did not open it immediately to check. Instead, she looked at Liu Zihe.

Liu Zihe understood his meaning and immediately instructed the servant beside him, "Steward, make a cut on the arm."

Upon hearing this, the butler turned pale, but still did as he was told.

The injured butler drank a small sip of the blood from the bottle, and his wounds visibly began to heal.

The servant, the steward, and the hidden guards, who were seeing such a strange scene for the first time, couldn't help but gasp.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a miracle drug.

After the butler's wounds had fully healed, Liu Zihe looked at Li Nanle and asked, "I wonder if Senior is satisfied with this miraculous medicine?"

Li Nanle suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and nodded with a smile, "Not bad, very good!"

Therefore, Li Nanle stayed at the Liu residence and lived in a separate room from Liu Zihe's room.

Li Nanle was very satisfied with this arrangement, and looked at Liu Zihe as if he were a dead man.

Since the tragic deaths of his entire family, Liu Zihe has not had a proper rest for many days.

As night fell, he went to bed early, which was unusual for him.

Li Nanle stayed in the house and sensed from the seeds scattered in the yard that there were four hidden guards watching over the yard.

Anyone who tries to obtain Yunxia's blood will not escape the notice of these four guards.

Therefore, we have to put aside our plan to collect blood for the time being.

But Liu Zihe will surely die tonight.

Liu Zihe was in the next room, so she didn't need to pass by outside to get to his room, and therefore wouldn't be discovered by the guards.

She walked lightly to Liu Zihe's bedside, and Liu Zihe suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Seeing that it was an elderly woman, his vigilance lessened a little, but he didn't completely relax.

"Is there something you need, senior?"

Li Nanle, whose shadow could only be seen in the darkness, hummed in response. The sound was undisguised and belonged to a young woman.

Liu Zihe immediately sensed something was wrong and was about to grab Li Nanle by the neck, but the moment he touched her, he was moved to a dark place with a strong smell of blood.

He thought Li Nanle was still in front of him, and waved his hands, trying to grab her, but he couldn't grab anything.

He touched the cold wall with both hands. The wall was not made of wood or brick, but of iron. He knew he had been moved to a different place.

He was filled with anger and fear at the same time. How could she have moved him to another place in an instant?

He started banging on the metal of the container, shouting and yelling for the butler and the guards.

No matter how he shouted, no one answered him.

Li Nanle sat in the courtyard of the villa, rubbing the puppet incense with her delicate hands. After she finished, she placed it aside to dry.

Then, while listening to Liu Zihe's shouts, she cooked.

Once the meal was ready, Liu Zihe's shouts ceased. She ate her food in small bites, her movements elegant, showing no sign of urgency.

After finishing a bowl of rice, cleaning up the leftovers, and washing the dishes, he picked up a puppet incense stick and headed towards the container.
