Chapter 2455: Chapter 1106: Palace Maid Sister (Part 2)

Moreover, Lin Baici wanted to see if, after he was alone, that mysterious palace maid would come looking for him!

Maybe she would give him another hint on purifying the rules’ corruption.

"Great King, I feel a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, may I go relieve myself?"

Lin Baici said, feeling a bit uneasy. If the king disagreed, he’d have to continue waiting.

"Uncomfortable?"

The Marquis Changxin teased: "You look absolutely fine to me, clearly capable of drinking another pot!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Great King, why not let him try again?"

The Marquis Changxin suggested.

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin stared at the Marquis Changxin.

Pour white liquor, huh?

I’ll smash you with a wine barrel later!

"Forget it, his stomach is bloated. If he drinks more, his belly might explode!"

The Great King was starting to like Lin Baici: "Go ahead, go!"

"Thank you, Great King, for your compassion!"

Lin Baici stood up.

There’s no harm in politeness; words of praise don’t cost anything.

A young eunuch hurried over: "Sir, please follow me!"

"God Lin, come back quickly!"

"God Lin, you won’t take the chance to run away, will you?"

"God Lin, hurry, and return soon!"

Everyone knew the chances of Lin Baici escaping were slim, but they were still worried.

"If you care about me, don’t call me God Lin!"

Lin Baici was speechless.

If they kept calling him that, not only would the Great King be upset, even he felt it was deserved to be killed!

Some titles aren’t to be used casually.

Lin Baici followed the young eunuch, walked past a curtain, went straight for more than ten meters, entered a small door, then turned left into a more than twenty-meter-long corridor.

At the end, turning right led to the back hall.

Lin Baici followed the young eunuch for five minutes and reached the restroom.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Baici handed over two pearls.

These were trophies salvaged from shipwrecks.

The young eunuch beamed with joy, his small hand moved, and he quickly took the pearls: "Sir, whatever you need, just ask!"

"I drank so much; I’m terribly thirsty. Could you please get me a cup of water?"

Lin Baici wasn’t actually thirsty; he just wanted an excuse to send the young eunuch away, otherwise he’d stand at the door, and the palace maid likely couldn’t come to find him.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

The young eunuch tightly grasped the pearls and immediately left.

These two pearls were of good quality, similar to tributes offered to the Great King, and converted into knife coins, worth more than a year’s salary; hence the young eunuch was very courteous.

Lin Baici entered the room, saw several rows of screens, and behind each was a red-painted toilet.

The toilets had carved patterns, looking quite high-end.

Lin Baici chose a clean one and went inside, then started counting down.

Wait for three minutes!

If no one came, he’d have to return.

Lin Baici worried that if he delayed too long, something might happen to Hua Yue Yu and the others.

In fact, Lin Baici hadn’t had a chance to think about what he’d say if the palace maid appeared, when he heard hurried footsteps rapidly approaching.

The footsteps were light, clearly indicating the person intentionally kept the noise down, acting furtively, not wanting to be discovered.

Lin Baici didn’t want to waste time, so he stepped out, indeed seeing that the palace maid was now standing in front of a screen, looking inside.

She was obviously searching for someone.

Lin Baici’s sudden appearance startled her.

"Thank you, elder sister, for your help earlier!"

Lin Baici clasped his hands: "Whatever wish you have, I’ll do my best to fulfill it!"

The palace maid still wore a veil, but from her exposed eyes and forehead, it was clear she was an exceptional beauty.

It’s reasonable, someone who can perform as the lead dancer in the court must be top-notch in both appearance and talent.

The palace maid’s beautiful eyes rolled upward, giving Lin Baici a glance.

In that instant, amidst her charm, there was a hint of purity, quite contradictory.

But thinking carefully, it’s understandable; she was a dancing girl, using beauty to entertain people — how could she attract people without being charming?

Yet she herself was only seventeen, inexperienced in love affairs, naturally carrying a pure aura.

"Haha!"

Not receiving a response, Lin Baici awkwardly chuckled, pondering how to continue the conversation, trying to gain her favor, when the palace maid spoke.

"The Great King only forsakes drinking and reflects on life when he hears emotionally stirring songs!"

The palace maid reminded: "Otherwise, the Great King will keep drinking until he is completely drunk!"

"Thank you for your kindness, elder sister!"

Lin Baici was delighted and quickly thanked her.

At times like this, one shouldn’t expect the King to get drunk; songs are undoubtedly more effective.

According to the palace maid’s hint, hearing music isn’t the focus; it’s about evoking a certain emotion in the King through the songs.

Just like how listening to melancholy songs can bring down mood, gaming while listening to battle songs fuels passion, even improving performance.

"I can’t always find chances to help you!"

The palace maid sighed: "Coming over this time puts me at great risk; if it’s discovered that I secretly interact with outsiders, I’d be dragged away for execution by dismemberment!"

"Thank you, elder sister!"

Lin Baici solemnly thanked her again.

Indeed,

This favor is a heavy one.

"I don’t need your thanks, I just hope you leave the Royal Palace alive!"

[Say you’ll take her with you!]

Eater God commented.

"..."

Lin Baici didn’t say it, thinking it sounded too much like a jerk, and besides, if he truly managed to escape with the palace maid, how would he settle her?

The palace maid saw Lin Baici’s silence, her expression dimming; it was evident she was a bit unhappy.

That wasn’t the answer she was hoping for.

She wanted to hear Lin Baici say he’d take her away.

"In any case, be very careful!"

Originally planning to leave, the palace maid quickly hid behind a screen upon hearing footsteps outside.

The young eunuch had returned.

"Sir, here’s the water you wanted!"

The young eunuch handed over a bulging leather water bag.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Baici took it: "It’s quite smelly here, you’d better leave quickly!"

The young eunuch certainly didn’t want to linger in the toilet: "Hurry up!"

After the young eunuch left, Lin Baici poured out half the water in the leather bag, then departed.

Why did that palace maid help me?

And why did she seem somewhat familiar?

There’s no reason for it!

When Lin Baici returned to his seat, he still couldn’t find the reason.

San Miyairi leaned towards Lin Baici, quietly asking: "What did you find out?"

She knew Lin Baici didn’t leave because of physical reasons.

"For this round, singing a song that causes intense emotional fluctuations for the Great King is the key to success!"

Lin Baici explained.

"..."

San Miyairi looked at Lin Baici in astonishment.

Not really,

I was just casually asking, and you actually gave me the answer?

This is too miraculous!

"What are you staring at?"

Lin Baici frowned: "Didn’t understand what I said?"

"Isn’t it about listening to music and getting emo?"

San Miyairi confidently smiled: "I excel at that!"

"Are you really up to it?"

Lin Baici was worried: "Failing could mean death!"

"Did you know?"

San Miyairi revealed a look of longing: "If I hadn’t become a God Hunter, I would have debuted as a band lead singer!"

"So impressive?"

Lin Baici was surprised.

"Not really, I’ve never found playing in a band enjoyable!"

San Miyairi shrugged, then prepared to stand up and perform "Sorano Uta."

This is a ballad; if the Great King doesn’t cry after hearing it, he’s truly formidable!

Bang!

Lin Baici held back San Miyairi: "Don’t rush, it’s time for Dudek to make an effort!"

Although Lin Baici could be sure that the palace maid wouldn’t trick him, who could guarantee nothing would go wrong during the singing?

Better let someone else try first!

"True, Dudek is the Godfather, his choir must know some religious songs!"

San Miyairi had actually considered this earlier; she just wanted to see how Lin Baici felt about her.

It turned out, Lord Lin was very concerned for her.

What to do?

I think I’m falling more and more in love with him!
