Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 58 - 42: One Person Living the Lives of Two People

Neither the nightclub nor Xie Yu, who tried to muddy the waters, managed to take the Ancient Xuan Beast Egg from the Imperial Uncle Mansion.

Imperial Uncle Luo, an astute veteran of such joyous places, had been wary of this and had hidden the egg within a portable chest he carried.

The chest was crafted by a skilled artisan, with two keys to lock it. He and Lady Yao had agreed that after the ceremony, they would dispatch the precious chest. During the welcoming of the bride, one key had been handed to the two sisters Xiao Chu, while the other remained in the hands of Imperial Uncle Luo.

One of those keys now resided in Xiao Ya's hand.

Having firmly fallen flat on her face at the nightclub this time, Lady Yao lost two subordinates and was publicly shamed, leaving her seething with rage and indeed, she stormed off without even taking along Xiao Chu's corpse.

Before leaving, she declared that Xiao Ya's life or death was of no concern to the nightclub.

In her dying moments, Xiao Chu's desperate stab blinded Imperial Uncle Luo in one eye. A beauty doomed by fate had exchanged a life for an eye, drawing much face-wrenching grief.

With one twin dead and the other missing, Imperial Uncle Luo was furious, ordering a city-wide search for the fleeing Xiao Ya, vowing to humiliate and kill her upon capture.

In the following days, the city was abuzz over this incident, with nearly everyone believing that Xiao Ya could not escape her grim fate, better off dead like Xiao Chu to end her suffering sooner.

Poisoned and injured, it was impossible for such a frail woman like Xiao Ya to evade the joint pursuit of the nightclub and Imperial Uncle Luo on her own.

After watching the spectacle at the Imperial Uncle Mansion amidst the chaos, Xie Yu strolled back to his lavish sedan chair.

The city was under martial law, but Xie Yu's flamboyant sedan, belonging to a fellow scion of privilege, went unquestioned and appeared quite inconspicuous.

Even before lifting the curtain, Xie Yu's body tilted awkwardly, as if he had been kicked on the buttocks, and "rolled" into the sedan. freewёbnoνel.com

Seldom in such a discomfited state, Xie Yu was about to curse loudly at the audacity of anyone daring to kick his noble behind when he saw two people neatly seated inside the sedan.

Rubbing his buttocks, he cast Yue Xiaoqi a resentful glance.

Yue Jinghua snickered quietly, stirring with her right hand in a small incense burner on the coffee table, the fragrance masking the blood scent emanating from Xiao Ya.

In the recent turmoil, with numerous hands at the Imperial Uncle Luo Mansion, Yue Jinghua only managed to reach Xie Yu's sedan amid the escape.

Xie Yu, a man of pleasure, his sedan was comparable to a luxurious Mercedes, spacious enough for three without feeling cramped, complete with amenities.

A couch, small tables, incense burner, fruits, beverages, even sunflower seeds and candied fruits, along with all sorts of recreational books, oddly though, the luxury sedan fittingly had a high-padded soft couch resembling a comfortable bed, stocked with several sets of colorful clothes for changing.

Such tacky extravagance, who fills their sedan with a bed.

However, this outwardly lavish, sedan-styled carriage had beams made of century-old Iron Tree Core, encased in South Sea Stone Heart Cotton for blade and fire resistance; the cost of construction alone could purchase half of the Qianbin Building.

The clever design of Xie Yu's sedan included distinctive Jade Curtains resembling modern blinds, not of bamboo but carved from numerous cold jade pieces sized like fingers, outside of which hung a layer of ice silk, providing protection against sun and heat.

From inside the sedan, one could clearly see the outside, but from the outside, it was impossible to see within.

Xiao Ya's eyes were swollen, tightly shut, her breath was faint. She hadn't recovered from the earlier chaos, Xiao Chu's horrifying death like a bloody knife plunged into her heart, "Let me out, I want to kill him."

"No," the noise outside had quieted down, but cries from Imperial Uncle Mansion's soldiers were still occasionally audible; still, Yue Jinghua remained vigilant.

"It's my life, what right do you have to interfere," Xiao Ya angrily opened her eyes, thick with hatred, at this moment, anyone preventing her from killing Imperial Uncle Luo was her enemy.

During the recent confusion, this woman named Yue Xiaoqi suddenly appeared, she subdued several of Xiao Ya's vital points, hiding inside the sedan.

After entering the sedan, she first searched around, finding several bottles of golden sore medicine, and after Xiao Ya refused to have the medicine applied, she did not force it nor offered any comforting words.
