Chapter 354: The NPC is Strange

Translator: 549690339

Congratulations, you’ve found the “True Key”.

So, are you going to share it with your comrades?

Will your comrades share their “False Keys” with you?

The fewer the people who pass, the more bountiful the reward. Who will be the traitor among them? Who harbors ill intent?

The Gardener watched quietly at the changing expressions on Yu Yaqing’s face.

Her internal struggle, doubt, regret, and agony all served to enhance his pleasure!

Women…

Selfish, greedy, vain, foolish! No matter how independent or strong they become, they are destined to be playthings!

Women! Either conquer them with power or lose them in tenderness!

They will eventually obey the words of men!

So, which bride should he see next?

He was eager to taste their suffering…

The Gardener left the room and walked leisurely along the corridor.

As he passed a room, he saw Zhu Shu on tip-toes, struggling to remove a decorative painting on the wall.

He walked in, intending to kindly ask: “Do you need help…”

Before he could finish, Su Man came over from the other side, swiftly taking down the painting, saying: “You’re too short, be careful the frame doesn’t fall and hit your head.”

“I’m 163cm, not too short, the painting is hung too high…” Zhu Shu looked behind the painting and showed disappointment, “There’s no key. I used to hide stuff behind paintings.”

“There are several other paintings over there, you can take them down and look.” Su Man turned around, only to see the Gardener at the door, and suspiciously asked, “What are you doing here?”

The Gardener gave a gentle smile: “Is there anything I can help with?”

“Strange…” Su Man furrowed her brows, took a few steps closer to look at him, “Why do I think you look… uh… a bit like Li Li?”

“You think he looks like Li Li?” Zhu Shu looked surprised, glanced from Su Man to the Gardener, “Doesn’t look like it, which part does?”

The Gardener slightly bowed: “The sun is about to set, I have to get back to the dungeon, or if the Duke finds out, there might be trouble. I hope you find the key soon.”

He turned and left, leaving the two women in mutual consternation.

“This NPC is so weird…”

“Never mind, ignore him. Let’s continue looking for the key! Ah, where would the Duke hide the key? Such a hassle…”

The Gardener continued along the corridor, occasionally looking over his shoulder with slight annoyance.

He had told them to split up and look for the key, but those two were still together.

Which bride is still alone now?

He squinted his eyes slightly and spotted Bai Youwei ahead.

She was sitting in a wheelchair, alone, stationed quietly at the entrance of the spiral staircase, gazing downstairs, seemingly lost in thought.

No family, no friends, no healthy body, and naturally arrogant and sensitive! Which other woman could be a better “target” than her?

The Gardener approached her.

“Why are you here alone?” He asked with a smile, “Everyone else is looking for the key, aren’t you going to join them?”

Bai Youwei furrowed her brows, closing her eyes.

The Gardener took a few more steps towards her, softly asked: “Do you need my help?”

“I hate it when people talk to me while I’m deep in thought.” Bai Youwei opened her eyes with evident displeasure, “Can you get lost?”

The Gardener:

After a pause of two seconds, he rephrased his words:

“You might be able to protect yourself from harm with a thorny exterior, but you also often hurt yourself. If you stay here alone and the key is found by others, you’ll be on the defensive. Do you want the situation to become like that?

Have you not had enough of those passive days? You are clearly very smart, but because of your body, you are forced to passively accept all arrangements. No one asks if you like it, if you’re happy with it, if you’re willing… Now, you’ve finally tasted the flavor of initiative. Are you going to give it up?”

Bai Youwei looked at him expressionlessly:

“I said, get lost.”
