Chapter 63

That night.

Lu Wanxiao changed into a black outfit and told Song Changting she was stepping out for a bit.

Song Changting didn't ask where she was going or what she was going to do, only told her to be careful and come back safely.

Lu Wanxiao left Biren Creek, and then Hua Hua took her all the way to the Luo residence.

Arriving at the Luo residence, Lu Wanxiao used her space to conceal herself and easily found Luo Shao's courtyard.

At that moment, Luo Shao was in the middle of a steamy session with a maid, and all sorts of indescribable sounds came from the room, even causing the maid standing guard outside to blush.

"What the heck..." Lu Wanxiao cursed under her breath, grabbed a dose of knockout powder, and had Hua Hua knock them both out. Then, closing her eyes, she roughly wrapped Luo Shao in the bedsheet and put him into the space. As for the maid, she simply shoved her under the bed.

After putting Luo Shao into the space, Lu Wanxiao also gathered all the valuables from his room into her space.

She took everything of value: antique paintings, vases, silver, banknotes—she didn't leave a single thing.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Shao had sat on the Huanghuali wood chair, she wouldn't have left him the chair.

After finishing, Lu Wanxiao silently left the Luo residence and headed straight out of the city.

Arriving at a small forest, Lu Wanxiao tossed Luo Shao out of the space, tore several strips from the bedsheet to blindfold him, tied his hands and feet, and gave him some muscle-relaxant powder.

Then, she found a stone in the forest, looked at Luo Shao lying on the ground like a dead dog, and smiled darkly.

Raising the stone, she brought it down hard on his third leg. Still not satisfied, she crushed several of his fingers under her foot.

Since he liked breaking people's legs so much, let him experience it himself!

What's the point of always getting your kicks off others?

"Ahhhh..."

Although Luo Shao was unconscious, having his lifeline smashed like that and his fingers crushed, he still screamed like a stuck pig.

The sound was too harsh. Lu Wanxiao frowned in disgust. Seeing a dark, lumpy object on the ground, she didn't bother to look closely; she simply picked up a branch, speared the lump, and shoved it into Luo Shao's mouth.

After that, she found some bug lure in the space, closed her eyes, tore off the bedsheet from his body and tossed it aside, then dumped all the bug lure over him.

Then she clapped her hands, spat, and walked off in triumph.

As for when Luo Shao would wake up, how he would get back after waking, whether anyone would come looking for him, how many insects would come to greet him before he woke up...

Those were not her concern.

The reason she didn't break his other two legs was that Luo Shao was currently an imperial official, and had just been transferred to the neighboring county as magistrate, set to take office in a few days.

Crippling an imperial official was a serious crime, and if Luo Shao broke his legs on the eve of taking office, it would certainly cause an uproar and attract the attention of higher-ups, leading to a thorough investigation.

Moreover, Jinghe County was the Luo family's turf. If Luo Shao broke his legs inexplicably, Luo Minghui would certainly be furious.

Then there would be curfews and heightened security, and extensive searches throughout Jinghe County.

She wasn't afraid of being investigated; no matter how thoroughly they searched, they wouldn't trace it back to her.

But this would inevitably affect the daily lives of the common people, cause panic, and they wouldn't be able to return home for a while.

However, breaking the third leg was different.

Suddenly turning into a eunuch overnight—this was a humiliation for any man.

Neither Luo Shao nor Luo Minghui would make a big deal out of it. On the contrary, they would try to keep the secret, and any investigation would only be done in secret.

Anyway, the third leg was also a leg—call it interest.

As for the other two legs?

No rush, take it slow—not one will be spared!

For now, let them stay on him for a while!

Lu Wanxiao returned to the city and was about to go back to Biren Creek.

But Hua Hua suddenly told her that because of her amazing performance tonight, the space had grown again.

If she added a bit more effort, she could successfully unlock the "Heart of the Other Shore—Jade You."

"Heart of the Other Shore? Jade You? What is that thing?"

Heart of the Other Shore—the name alone sounded powerful. Lu Wanxiao's eyes lit up.

"A very powerful thing, Master. You'll definitely like it," Hua Hua said, with a mysterious air. "Master, hurry up and do something more. Soon we'll be able to meet Jade You."

Seeing Hua Hua so excited, Lu Wanxiao got excited too.

The Other Shore Space had passed through many owners and was filled with countless treasures.

Although not many had appeared so far, each one had delighted her.

This Jade You, being called the Heart of the Other Shore, must be even more incredible than anything before.

At the thought of unlocking something so awesome soon, Lu Wanxiao was no longer eager to rush back to Biren Creek.

But what else could she do?

Lu Wanxiao bit her lip, thinking, and headed back to the Luo residence.
