Chapter 440: Ninety Ninth Concubine

It was already midnight by the time the masked man finished. Chu Qingchuan had fainted a long time ago. Chu Qingchuan had never suffered hardships, so how could she have possibly endured hours of being ravaged? With this, as well as the torture on her mental state, it’d have been hard for her not to faint.

“Guiyi! Guide!” Cried the masked man coldly at the door.

Two masked men walked in, bowed and respectfully said, “At your service, Master.”

With a slightly reckless tone of voice, the masked man said, “This woman is far more seductive and beautiful than the other wives. Where did you guys find her?”

Guiyi hesitated for a second, then respectfully replied, “Master, I found this woman in the firewood shed in the back of the courtyard.”

“Are you saying that you guys don’t know where that woman came from?” asked the masked man.

“I don’t know, but this woman dared to trespass on the Almighty Castle. She must be an outsider. Nobody would be offended if we captured her.”

“Haha. You’re right. Send this woman to the tower. From now on, she’ll be my ninety-ninth concubine.”

“Yes, Master Bao.”

Guiyi and Guier wrapped up Chu Qingchuan in blanket and delivered her to the sixth tiered tower. According to her status, Chu Qingchuan would stay in one of the large rooms on the third floor.

The next day, the masked man woke up early in the morning and left the Almighty Castle. Two maids stepped into the room and spotted a tally with an intricate design carved on it and several words.

“What’s written on this?” asked the maid in green clothing.

The other maid held the tally in her hand and pointed at the words. “Something five, something Chuan. I can only read those two words. I don’t know the others.”

“This tally isn’t made of gold, nor silver. It’s certainly not made of some kind of precious gem. I suspect it’s made of crappy iron. Give it to me. I’ll find some place to throw it away,” said the maid who couldn’t read.

“Mhm, I think this tally is made of rubbish iron too.” The literate maid handed it to the illiterate maid, then continued to pick up the torn clothing on the floor.”

The illiterate maid put the tally away in her breast pocket and smiled. “Have you heard? Another beautiful woman is staying at Yunzhong. I hear it’s the ninety-ninth concubine.”

“I’ve heard. But Master Bao has never spoiled any of his concubines for more than ten days. This ninety-ninth concubine won’t be an exception.”

“I really want to see what that ninety-ninth concubine looks like.” The illiterate maid’s face was full of anticipation.

The literate maid quickly tidied the room, then smiled and said, “Then let’s finish up early and stand guard at the tower. Who knows? We might be able to catch the ninety-ninth concubine come out.”

The two maids exchanged glances and smiled, then quickly tidied up the room.

“Ninety-ninth concubine, it’s time to get up now,” cried a tall, thin, ordinary-looking maid dress in green who stood in front of the bed.

Chu Qingchuan tightly furrowed her brows from the sore sensation in her lower half. She showed no signs of waking up.

That maid had no choice but to shake Chu Qingchuan’s shoulders and cried, “Ninety-ninth concubine, it’s time to wake up. Otherwise, you’ll be late to give Madam your morning greetings.”

Chu Qingchuan furrowed her eyebrows and opened her eyes. Her lower body felt unbearably shattered and her face turned pale white. She couldn’t resist but tightly bite down on her lip.

“Ninety-ninth concubine, you need to greet the concubine in half an hour, so it would be advisable to pick up the pace and get ready,” respectfully said the maid dressed in green.

Chu Qingchuan suddenly remembered what happened last night. Her head shot up and she immediately asked, “Where am I? And who are you?”

The maid in green smiled and said, “Ninety-ninth concubine, I am Sui’er. This is the Almighty Castle.”
