Chapter 1345 The Carefully Cultivated Image
It was unclear how much time had passed before the surge of blood in Feng Ling's chest finally subsided.
She no longer felt the urge to vomit blood and had calmed down.
The only thought occupying her mind now was when Feng Xi would arrive.
The celestial silkworm could preserve the Lord's blood for half a month. As long as Feng Xi arrived, there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
Feng Ling closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm.
When she opened her eyes again, her scarlet gaze had finally cooled.
Turning back, the sight sent a tremor of fear through her.
The maid lay on the ground, motionless.
Her body was beyond recognition, uneven, and a bloody mess, as if it had completely rotted.
A pool of blood on the ground had all come from her.
Feng Ling looked down at her own feet; her boots were covered in blood.
She had never witnessed such a horrific death. Even she was startled and hastily stepped back.
With a bang, she immediately hit the windowsill.
"No, it wasn't me!" Feng Ling, terrified, scrambled to close the windowsill.
However, before she could secure it, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept in from outside.
On this early summer day, such a wind chilled her to the bone.
"Feng Xi!"
Only Feng Xi, who had spent years dealing with poisons, could bring such a chilling, ghostly aura!
As if seeing a savior, Feng Ling quickly opened the half-closed windowsill.
A chilling breeze swept through, and Feng Xi soon flipped in, landing in the room.
With a bang, Feng Ling immediately shut the window.
"Sister… What is this?" Feng Xi's eyes widened as she took in the bloody, mangled corpse on the ground, startled.
"She… she lied to me! That's right, she lied to me, she deserved it!"
Feng Ling didn't know how to explain, so she simply stopped trying.
"Feng Xi, you've arrived at the perfect time. Quickly help me dispose of this body. I was just worrying about what to do with it."
Feng Xi carried all sorts of poisons. With Feng Xi here, everything could be resolved.
"Feng Xi, hurry! We absolutely cannot let anyone see this, and Feng Ye Xuan must not find out that I… I killed a maid like this."
Feng Xi naturally understood why she dared not let Feng Ye Xuan know.
Looking at the maid's corpse… was this something a human could do?
Although Feng Xi had killed countless people in her life, she rarely encountered such a bloody scene.
It looked like she had been kicked to death.
Kicked again and again, until the person's body caved in, and flesh flew out piece by piece!
The pool on the ground was not just blood, but also contained flesh…
Upon seeing this clearly, Feng Xi almost vomited.
This was truly not the work of a human. While Feng Ling, like herself, had killed many, she had never been so vicious before.
Looking back at Feng Ling, Feng Xi couldn't help but feel a chill.
Sister… had become somewhat terrifying.
"What are you still standing there for? Feng Xi, hurry and deal with the body!" Feng Ling's greatest fear was what if Feng Ye Xuan returned at this moment?
If Feng Ye Xuan were to return now and see how she had tortured and killed a defenseless maid, her carefully cultivated image of kindness and gentleness in front of him for so long would be utterly ruined!
"Feng Xi! Think of a way, get rid of her! Quickly!"
As soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, and as if her luck was truly terrible, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside…
