Li Mengmeng blinked at Bei Yutang.
“I’m going outside for a walk to digest.”
“I’ll come with you.” Li Mengmeng immediately took her arm.
“Mind if I join you?” Gongsun Mingyue asked, already walking to their side.
The three of them left the dining room and walked out of the castle.
The island after the rain was as if it had been washed clean, fresh and clean, the air seemingly carrying the fresh scent of earth and grass. This secluded place brought peace to one’s mind.
Bei Yutang had always longed for this kind of secluded life, but such a life was very, very far away from her.
As long as the burden on her shoulders remained, she had no right to enjoy such a life.
Bei Yutang stood before the cliff, closed her eyes, and took two deep breaths.
Li Mengmeng dared not approach the cliff edge, only standing ten paces away watching Bei Yutang.
Why was she standing there motionless?!
Li Mengmeng looked at her suspiciously.
For some reason, she had a feeling that Bei Yutang could find that thing. Therefore, since arriving on the island, she had been intentionally or unintentionally trying to get close to her.
Gongsun Mingyue looked at the two of them, her brows slightly furrowed.
She had thought that the woman had found some clues, but after she came out, she just stood there, motionless.
Could it be that because they were beside her, it was inconvenient for her to act, so she was deliberately standing there?
After a few moments of thought, Gongsun Mingyue stopped idly guarding the woman’s side. Since she had come out, she must have found something outside.
She would look outside now; maybe her luck would change, and she would find it first.
Gongsun Mingyue turned and walked away, heading in another direction toward a dense forest. Beyond the forest lay the coastline. As she walked toward the forest, she suddenly saw something shimmering with light ahead.
Gongsun Mingyue hurried toward the light, and as she approached, her pupils widened abruptly, and then she let out a piercing scream.
Standing on the cliff edge, Bei Yutang and Li Mengmeng were startled by her scream.
They quickly ran toward the opposite side of the dense forest. When they arrived, they saw a corpse hanging in the air. The corpse was emaciated and withered, like skin and bones, with deep, animal-like claw marks on its face and chest.
The claw marks were deep, tearing through the flesh to expose raw bone. These wounds covered its entire body; the body was utterly mangled, a pile of bones covered only by a thin layer of broken flesh.
The death was horrific, even more gruesome than Ke Hongyu’s.
Gongsun Mingyue and Li Mengmeng turned away, leaning against a nearby tree trunk, retching uncontrollably.
Dr. Zhang, Butler Sen, and others also arrived; Feng Qing’s body hadn’t arrived yet, but his voice had reached them first.
“What’s all the yelling about so early in the morning?”
His words had barely left his lips when he reached the scene. Upon seeing the corpse floating in the air, his face turned deathly pale, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Yan Jin and Ah Hua, upon seeing this, immediately turned away and began to vomit.
“This…this…” Feng Qing was so frightened that he could barely speak.
“Could he be…” Dr. Zhang, looking at the corpse’s hair, tattered clothes, and the expensive watch on its wrist, could basically deduce who the person was.
