Chapter 334: The Flower of Vengeance
    The maid stares blankly, then she immediately says: “Me, I saw it with my own eyes, I am a witness.”
    “Witness testimony? No need…” Di Ming Jue’s lips curl up like he’s smiling, but the chill and bloodthirst within his eyes is making his handsome face look particularly dangerous, “Ben Jun has better evidence.”
    Just as his voice falls, a powerful energy strikes at the withered Dark Clouds Spirit Flower.
    It’s ignited into flames, and the withered plant burns until there’s almost nothing left.
    The next moment, they see a strand of black gas coming out from smoke, and it flies straight towards the maid.
    At the side, Han Ye says with a sneer: “I forgot to tell you, the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower used to be called the Holy Soul Flower in ancient times.”
    “That’s because it can only accept a purer and purer breath for nourishment. Previously, the one cultivating this Dark Clouds Spirit Flower is Miss Jun, so her body has the unmixed Internal Force. So from then on, if someone touches the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower without the exact same kind of breath as Miss Jun, the Spirit Flower will die from making contact with the polluting qi.”
    “That’s the reason why, these past six days, every one of us in this courtyard would dare to approach the Dark Clouds Spirit Flowers, but no one would dare touch them.”
    The maid widens her eyes in horror, “No, that’s impossible!”
    How could there be such a strange and sentient flower in this world?
    Han Ye continues: “There’s one more thing that I forgot to tell you – this Dark Clouds Spirit Flower is a kind of plant that is very vengeful.”
    “Since its life only lasts for seven days, this flower really treasures the period of its growth. So if it happens that a dirty breath causes them to die, the withered flower leaves will lock on to this pollution and strengthen it. Once the flower leaves have burned or rotted completely, the dirty breath will once again return to its owner.”
    It’s as if the black smoke has a mind of its own, as it flies straight to the maid.
    The maid scrambles in trying to dodge, but she simply cannot hide from this black wisp.
    After a few short breaths, her face has been completely covered by this black smoke.
    “Aaaah–!!” a shrill, blood-curdling scream pierces through the sky.
    The maid howls in grief as she desperately rolls on the ground.
    This kind of pain goes on for a quarter of an hour, and the black smoke slowly dissipates.
    Revealing the maid’s haggard, black-colored face.
    One can say that the maid initially had a face that’s considered pretty and lovable, red lips and white teeth.
    Now, she’s only left with black, even her teeth are dark yellow.
    Incredibly ugly.
    Simply a bumpkin even among village folk.
    “Pft… *cough* *cough*…” one of the black-clothed guards at the side couldn’t help himself, and lets out a laugh.
    Then he hurriedly restrains himself in fear.
    “Hahahaha…” Han Ye doesn’t have any reservations, holding his stomach as he leans against Ying Mei. He can’t straighten his waist from laughing, “Hahaha, Little Shadow, look at her face, doesn’t it look like a charcoal briquette?”
    Ying Mei disapprovingly pushes Han Ye away, but seeing the maid’s appearance, her lips can’t help but twitch up.
    Muyan is also a bit stunned.
    She didn’t know that the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower would actually have this kind of ability after its death.
    This means of retaliation really displays originality.
    Pfft–!
    Di Ming Jue looks at the smile on her face, and the cold harshness between his brows finally recedes a bit, changing into gentle doting.
    ……
    The maid feels up her own face, and brings down the hand that touched it. She sees that her palm is pitch black.
    And this kind of darkness wouldn’t come off with any kind of rubbing or washing.
    She was originally quite confident about her own appearance. All along, she was fantasizing of being able to follow by her lady’s side, and accompany the Miss into marrying a handsome groom.
    But now… now… everything is ruined.
    However, before the tears could rush out-

Chapter 333: Fetch a good price
    “Make her compensate for a Spirit Flower, I think that she should be flogged a hundred times. It would serve as a warning against following her bad example!”
    As she’s saying this, the maid looks at Muyan maliciously, a smile of ridicule filling her eyes.
    She dares to be certain that this mysterious Lord must have a favorable impression towards her lady.
    Otherwise, how can you explain the fact that he wants to give such a precious Spirit Flower to Miss?
    Even if this fox-faced gardener wants to seduce him again, what about it?
    Wait until Miss moves her hand, it would be easy to deal with something like her.
    Muyan looks up towards Di Ming Jue, smiling like a flower, “Killing the ‘intention’ that is Jun Shang’s present to his lover, Muyan has really sinned and should die ten thousand times!”
    As she’s saying that, she suddenly operates the Mysterious Energy on her hands, breaking away from Di Ming Jue’s confines within a blink of an eye.
    Just as her hands have broken free, who would’ve thought that her waist would get captured.
    The pair closes the distance between them instead.
    Muyan is about to blow her top off from anger.
    It’s as if Di Ming Jue is looking at a child’s mischief, his cold voice even contains a helpless coddling tone, “Don’t make trouble. Or do you want to get even closer Ben Jun?”
    Muyan: “…!!!” I’d rather want to neuter this scoundrel!
    ……
    The maid is shocked and hatefully jealous of how Muyan is sticking even closer to Di Ming Jue. The light in her eyes changes from complacency to bitter resentment.
    However, she hears Han Ye continue to laugh and ask: “The Dark Clouds Spirit Flower is a rare plant, it is hard to search for it in this world. Finding another flower is practically impossible, this requirement seems to be somewhat of a Herculean task.”
    Hearing Han Ye’s words, the maid’s eyes immediately brighten.
    As it turns out, this fox-face hasn’t completely captured the Lord’s heart.
    She ruined Miss’ Spirit Flower, so she must pay.
    The maid sets her mind to it, “And precisely because the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower is hard to find, it’s even more important that she pay for it.”
    “I remember my lady saying that if this Spirit Flower appears on the market, it would be worth… at least ten million gold coins. If she can’t come up with a Dark Clouds Spirit Flower, let her compensate for its price in gold. And she absolutely couldn’t escape from that hundred lashes either.”
    Han Ye blinks, “Ten million gold coins ah, this isn’t a small amount, is it? I’m afraid that an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to earn it all in their lifetime.”
    “This is her punishment for courting disaster!” the maid’s eyes are shining as she stares at Muyan, her gaze is brimming with malice, “If she really cannot pay with money, I think it would be right to sell her to Ghost City’s Wan Ren Ku. With her good looks, she would definitely be able to fetch a good price. Then when she works like a horse for several decades in the Ghost City, there would come a day where she would be able to make up for ten million gold coins.”
    As soon as these words are said, a change comes over the faces of everyone present.
    Even Han Ye’s eyes somewhat darken.
    Not to mention Di Ming Jue.
    There’s already a thick, dark-red killing intent that is welling up within his eyes.
    Ying Mei is under the impression that Di Ming Jue really wants to punish Muyan because of the Spirit Flower.
    Bending a knee, she kneels down in a flash, “Jun Shang, the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower was killed by this subordinate. If it’s compensation, please let this subordinate pay for it, by no means could Miss Jun be wrongly accused.”
    Muyan frowns, wanting to step forward and help her up.
    But Di Ming Jue has already taken the initiative to release her, slowly making his way until he arrives before the Spirit Flower that had withered.
    “If you damage something, it would only be fair to receive punishment, as well as provide compensation according to its value.”
    The man’s voice is bone-piercingly cold, making everyone at the scene shiver uncontrollably.
    However, the meaning in those words is making the maid violently happy.
    Even forgetting to be scared of that ruthless killing intent in the atmosphere.
    She’s proud of herself as she looks at Muyan, anticipating the other woman’s miserable end.
    “How can you prove that she is the one who killed this flower?”
    The man’s ice-cold voice rings once more.

Chapter 332: ‘Be good’- your sister!!
    The maid turns around to angrily point towards Muyan, “It’s her, she was actually planning to steal the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower, even making her pet go and trample it.”
    “Even though this servant immediately stepped forward to stop her, it was still too late, and she has already killed one of these precious flowers.”
    Saying that, the maid points towards the withered Dark Clouds Spirit Flower, her tears falling even more fiercely.
    Looking like she really suffered through all kinds grievances.
    Ying Mei listens to her words that invert black and white, her complexion turning a little green from anger.
    But she has always been bad at expressing herself, and the black-clothed guards in the courtyard are all habitually silent.
    “Jun Shang, the matter is not as she says it is, Miss Jun did not…”
    “How is it not so?” the maid rips a scream out of her throat, “You dare say that she didn’t want to steal the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower just now?”
    “You dare say that you didn’t threaten me just a moment ago, wanting to kill and silence me?”
    Ying Mei’s face turns red, tightly clenching both hands into fists, but she couldn’t come up with anything to say.
    She has always been better at speaking with swords and fists.
    But this time, she simply cannot allow Miss Jun to be wrongly accused.
    Ying Mei takes a step forward, and just as she’s about to speak, a hand presses down on her shoulder.
    Muyan slowly walks forward, patting Ying Mei’s shoulder and sending her a shallow smile.
    Then she indifferently looks at Di Ming Jue, “I ruined the flower, what about it?”
    Muyan’s voice is bone-piercingly cold.
    Even those peach blossom eyes that are usually gleaming with the reflection of waves in sunlight, also seem to condense into ice.
    Di Ming Jue instinctively doesn’t like seeing her with this kind of expression. He furrows his brows.
    Hearing Muyan’s words, the maid immediately shouts out, “Gongzi, you heard that, she admits it. You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You deliberately ruined my lady’s Dark Clouds Spirit Flower!”
    Muyan looks at her with indifferent eyes, her expression is heedless beyond words, “Yeah, I did it on purpose. What can you do about me?”
    “I cultivated these Spirit Flowers, what can you do if I don’t want to give any of them to your Miss?”
   Saying that, she raises her hands, intending to take away the remaining three flowers.
   What happened just now, she doesn’t want to experience that again – seeing with her own eyes how the flowers that she has raised herself wither, the scene of their lives getting snuffed out.
    Before her Internal Force could touch the flowers however,
    She has her wrists captured by Di Ming Jue.
    Her Internal Force is contained, and she naturally couldn’t take the Dark Clouds Flowers anymore.
    Muyan snaps her head up at Di Ming Jue, and there’s finally a bit more anger in her eyes, “Let go!”
    Not only does Di Ming Jue keep his hold, his fingertips are even caressing her wrists gently, like flirting.
    “Be good, I still have some use for these flowers.”
    ‘Be good’ – your sister!!
    You want to use the Dark Clouds Spirit Flowers that this Miss has painstakingly raised, all to curry favor with your lover!
    Di Ming Jue, you want to die, you better die, just die ah!
    The maid sees this scene and she’s stumped for words.
    Isn’t this Lord’s attitude towards this gardener rather too intimate?
    Could it be that he’s really been seduced by this fox gardener’s wiles?
    “Gongzi, this person deliberately killed the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower, you mustn’t let her off lightly!”
    Di Ming Jue coldly looks at that maid. He doesn’t say anything.
    Han Ye steps forward from the side, all smiles as he asks: “Oh, then what do you say should be done?”
    The maid immediately replies: “The Spirit Flowers that Gongzi wants to give to my lady, which one is not worth a city, which one is easy to find in the world – more importantly, what of the Gongzi’s intentions towards my Miss?”
    “This person is so vile, even killing the Dark Clouds Spirit Flower that Gongzi wanted to give to my lady. If not punished severely, wouldn’t that be an insult to Gongzi’s intentions?”
