As they had said before, the Duke only had one child, which clearly indicated that he wasn’t someone who randomly embraced new members. It was difficult to be chosen by him, suggesting that those sent here periodically as rations were destined to become corpses.
Bei Yutang didn’t want to become a corpse, so she had to devise a plan before being summoned.
Since the day Ailey was taken away, they hadn’t heard the Duke summon them again. Besides eating and sleeping, they had nothing else to do.
Their daily meals were excellent; from Eve and the others, she learned that their food was top-notch. If they hadn’t become the Duke’s rations, they probably wouldn’t have received such treatment.
Eve and the others kept praising the Duke’s kindness.
Bei Yutang, after hearing this, could only look up at the sky.
What was so kind about him?
He was clearly fattening them up with good food and drink so he could slaughter them later.
Bei Yutang knew that this mindset was deeply ingrained in their minds, and changing it would take considerable time and effort.
This palace, seemingly luxurious, was essentially a high-class prison, or even a high-class pigsty, and they were the ‘pigs’ being raised there, constantly facing the possibility of being slaughtered by their master.
There was no day or night here; they slept when they were tired and ate when they were awake.
Based on the timing and frequency of their meals, Bei Yutang roughly calculated that seven days had passed since she arrived.
On the eighth day, the bronze door opened again, and a vampire walked in. Seeing that he wasn’t carrying a food box, the group realized something and excitedly stood up.
The vampire indifferently swept his gaze over the group, finally settling on Bei Yutang. He pointed at her: “You come with me.”
Under the envious gazes of Eve and the others, Bei Yutang followed the vampire out of the gilded pigsty.
The vampire walked very fast, showing no concern for whether she could keep up. Fortunately, she had been practicing the Ice Palm internal energy technique daily, and her daily physical training within the palace allowed her to barely keep pace.
Passing through a series of magnificent halls, they walked for a full hour before arriving at a palace. Bei Yutang was then pushed inside. Before her lay a large pool, shrouded in mist.
Four human maids stepped forward and began to undress her and then wash her.
They were very rough, scrubbing her skin layer by layer, as if trying to peel it off.
“I don’t need you. I’ll do it myself.”
The four women seemed not to hear her, their grip remaining firm.
Seeing they wouldn’t listen, Bei Yutang used a clever trick to easily break free from their grasp.
The four women were stunned, not expecting her to do such a thing, and it took them a while to react.
“You’re about to be delivered to the Duke. We must remove all the filth from you to avoid defiling him. Hurry up, don’t waste time, or we’ll all suffer.” The leading maid warned coldly.
“No need, I can clean myself.”
The four women exchanged glances, but unable to catch her, they could only let Bei Yutang wash herself.
Damn it, she was preparing to wash herself clean and be eaten.
Before, ‘eaten’ meant something else entirely, but here, it meant literally being eaten.
The thought of becoming someone else’s ‘dish’ made her cringe, even though she didn’t have any balls.
