NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1198: Someone was murdered
When Lang Ru heard that ice candy was something sweet and delicious her eyes lit up. After all, she was a child, how could she be not excited when she heard of a candy that was not only sweet but also cool? Who wouldn't like a sweet and cool candy in summer like this?
Yu Dong patted the two kids and then stated, " You two wait for a few days I will let you know what is an ice candy."
Though she had a refrigerator in her space, Yu Dong did not think that she could take it. Small things like flashlights and mirrors weren't big enough to garner the attention of the villagers but if she was to take out the refrigerator from her space then it might attract the attention of villagers.
Yu Dong was not afraid of the villagers but she was indeed troubled about the one sitting in the Imperial City which was why she decided to keep her secrets safe for the time being.
' Maybe I will look around and see if there is an ice core thrown somewhere inside the space,' Yu Dong thought in her head. When she was hunting zombies she had collected all sorts of cores, while the green core which resembled the spiritual energy of nature was all swallowed by her space, there were a few that she left behind such as the ice and thunder core.
She needed to take a look at the space and see if there was any ice core left behind.
" Let's eat dinner?" Yu Dong turned to look at the kids when she saw Chen Ying bringing freshly cut pork hock with a large chunk of pork belly. She looked at the meat that Chen Ying placed in the ice cellar before turning around and making sure that no one was watching. She then placed the meat in the cellar. She was going to put it back in the cellar earlier in the morning.
" Yay! I want to eat sour and sweet pork!" Yu Mai shouted as he chased after Chen Mi. " Brother Mi teach me how to cook sweet and sour pork! I want to cook as well."
" Haha, you want to cook? Come Brother Mi will teach you!" Chen Mi chortled as he rubbed Yu Mai's head. " Brother Nan and Brother Mi will teach you so well that when you grow up, there will be a line of women willing to marry you."
Lang Ru was talking to her mother about ice candy when she heard Chen Mi say that he was going to teach Yu Mai so well that there would be a line of women lining up for Yu Mai, she was speechless. There was no need, was it? Even without those skills, she was lining up!
"… I think there is no need!" Lang Ru chased after Yu Mai as she tried to change his mind. She was already having a lot of trouble fending off those girls who were trying to get cosy with Yu Mai because his sister was the richest woman in the town.
To top it all Yu Mai was the feminine and gentle version of Yu Dong causing him to win the hearts of many girls in the village, she was already having a tough time!
What was Brother Mi trying to do?
Laughter and giggles echoed in the village as Lang Ru's panicky voice echoed in the Yu house.
" You brat! What are you trying to do?" Yu Dong called Lang Ru while chasing after her.
At night, the mountain wind blew across the open space, bringing a trace of a scent that was too sweet and sick. The sound of a flute playing a tune that was melodious but at the same time cold and eerie echoed in the village.

In the dark main house of the village, Xiao Yu who was sleeping in her bed stood up and turned to look at the mountain that was shrouded in darkness. She took out a dagger that she carried with her and then headed towards the Yu house. If someone had noticed her eyes they would have seen that she was looking at Shen Li's room with a cold glint in her eyes.
Just as she was about to arrive at Shen Li's room and break open the window, Xiao Yu suddenly cried out in pain and held her neck in anguish. The dagger in her hand dropped to the ground as she came to her senses.
Her eyes flickered around as she turned to look at Yu Dong and then cried, " I did not know… I really did not know... I don't know why I am here, I was clearly sleeping in my bed."
Yu Dong's eyes flared up with annoyance, she looked at Xiao Yu who was kneeling on the ground and kicked her on the back before saying, " Get the hell out of here. The next time I see you sneaking around, I am getting your limbs chopped off."
Xiao Yu rubbed her neck which no longer hurt and then looked around, she did not understand what was going on, was her resentment towards Yu Dong so deep that she sleepwalked here?
Not wanting to think anymore, she scrambled to her feet and then rushed out of the Yu house.
On the other hand, at the mountain on top of the tallest tree stood a woman in red, when she saw what happened to the Yu family, her smile turned even more maniacal.
At the same time, while Yu Dong was fending off the dangers in the dark, the customers who brought who had brought the vegetables from Yu Dong were having a pleasant time.
One of them was Qiao Sha who was listening to her mother scold her while eating the dumplings made from the pork belly that was bought from Yu Dong's mall.
" It's really good.. why did you not buy more? What were you thinking while saving your money? Can't you purchase a decent amount of pork belly for your mother?" Madam Qiao asked her daughter who had her head lowered.
Qiao Sha wanted to tell her mother that she bought more than ten catties of pork belly. It was not her fault that the entire house snatched it away.
" Mother I——"
" MARQUIS QIAO! HURRY SOMEONE WAS MURDERED!"
