Chapter 2294: Chapter 2294: The Power Within!

"That guy, how could he come up with such a vicious trick? Who does he think he is!"

He’s just a sworn brother to the city lord. What, does he think he can meddle in the affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion?

Or does he believe that now that Lu Tiankuo has been brought down by the city lord and Lin Baizhong working together, he can somehow secure a place for himself in Sky City?

Dream on!

"Madam, what should we do now?" a maid asked.

"Now..."

In the eyes of the city lord’s wife, the most straightforward approach would be to storm his place and kill that bastard Lu Tianfeng outright.

But in the end, she restrained herself.

As the wife of the Sky City’s city lord now, she could not afford to act so recklessly.

She was no longer just her own person; she was tied to the city lord. She could not risk putting the city lord in an unjust position. Besides, Lu Tianfeng, even though not a blood relative of the Lu Family, held considerable prestige within Sky City.

Who would have thought that his charitable acts of distributing medicine and porridge were simply a façade to cover up that hideous face of his!

"Regarding this matter, act as if it never happened. Believe in the city lord and Commander Lin—they’ll handle it properly," she said, lifting her gaze and instructing the maids.

"Yes, Madam."

The maids responded.

...

On the other side, Lin Baizhong, after returning home briefly, brought Liu Yuyang along and went to the inn where his daughter and son-in-law were staying.

He handed his daughter a list of medicinal herbs he had obtained from the city lord.

Lin Caisang merely glanced over it briefly and immediately furrowed her brows.

"Sangsang, what is it?"

Seeing his daughter frown, Lin Baizhong quickly asked.

"This list, at first glance, doesn’t seem out of place. Each herb listed individually doesn’t pose much toxicity—apart from those dozen or so extremely poisonous ingredients, of course."

Lin Caisang placed the list on the table, tapping her index finger on the names of the herbs.

"Perhaps Lu Tianfeng thought no one would uncover the secret hidden within this list."

"Hmm?"

All three pairs of eyes—Sui Zimo’s, Lin Baizhong’s, and Liu Yuyang’s—fixed themselves on her.

"Ever since I learned about the existence of the demon child, I have carefully studied its correlations with poisonous corpses in both the herb garden dimension and the toxin garden dimension. Nearly eighty to ninety percent of the herbs listed here could enhance the powers within demon children and poisonous corpses!"

"These..."

Liu Yuyang’s eyes widened as he stared at the list under Lin Caisang’s palm.

"So, Lu Tianfeng is clearly using the name of the city lord’s wife to create demon children and poisonous corpses for himself?"

It seemed evident—there is no worst villain in this world, only one far worse.

"Then does this mean... that there are already demon children and poisonous corpses in Sky City?" Lin Baizhong added.

"More or less. That seems to be the case. I just don’t know where in Sky City one could raise a demon child," Lin Caisang replied, raising her brows as she nodded.

"Poisonous corpses are easier to explain, but demon children..."

Sui Zimo wondered aloud whether there might be traces of wicked energy on the dragon veins beneath Sky City.

But of course, the answer was impossible. Not everywhere shared the misfortunes of the Ziyan Kingdom.

So it was certain—Lu Tianfeng must be using some covert method unknown to them to foster demon children within Sky City.

"Looks like we’re going to be quite busy again."

He raised his hand and lightly tapped his wife’s head, speaking tenderly.

Just handling one demon child hadn’t been resolved yet, and now there’s possibly another emerging in Sky City!
