Chapter 1625: 1625 Poison King Valley Qin Garden 2

For several days of traveling, Su Qingyue and her subordinate Fu Chou often only ate dry food to fill their stomachs. Seeing the aromatic dishes, they were famished.

Qingyue walked to the table and sat down, picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Manager Wei saw her start eating first, gestured, and a maid walked to the table to serve Qingyue during the meal.

Su Qingyue glanced at Fu Chou nearby, "You eat too."

Manager Wei was just about to speak of the difference in status, being reluctant. Fu Chou spoke first, "Master, I do not have the qualification to sit at the same table with you."

"No matter." Su Qingyue said indifferently, "This is an order, just sit."

"Yes." Fu Chou sat on the chair next to her, and the maid beside them immediately added a set of bowl and chopsticks.

Manager Wei thought to say it was inappropriate, but reconsidered and decided not to interfere much.

The master and servant quietly ate their meal.

The whole table of dishes was indeed a feast for the senses.

Fu Chou was not afraid that the people of Poison King Valley would poison the food. With his master’s medical skills, there was no poison in the world she could not identify.

Seemingly calm while eating, underneath Fu Chou’s composed exterior, his heart was pounding.

This was the first time he dined at the same table with his master, and she sat right next to him.

He knew he was not worthy of her; being this close to her in this life was enough.

After the meal, the maid cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.

Manager Wei, who had been waiting, inquired, "Young Master Su, would you like to take a bath?"

"He" nodded.

"Fu Gongzi’s room is arranged in the next yard, the servant will take you there." Manager Wei gestured to Fu Chou.

"No need, no need to arrange separately, there are several rooms in the yard where the master is staying, I will stay in the room next to it."

Manager Wei did not compromise, "This is the Valley Master’s decision, the Valley Master does not like outsiders to stay in Qin Garden."

By implication, Su Qingyue was an ’insider’.

Fu Chou said coldly, "My duty is to protect my master."

"This is Poison King Valley." Manager Wei’s words carried a hint of threat, "On the Valley Master’s territory, the outcome for disobedience... is to become fertilizer for the poisonous flowers in the valley."

"You!" Fu Chou drew his sword, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

Su Qingyue waved her hand, "You stay in the other courtyard. It’s rumored that no one can enter Poison King Valley. On our way here, we encountered forty-nine barriers and traps, regardless of those giant ants, poisonous insects, groups of snakes, bewitching forest... all had lethal attacks. Even the arrow array installed in the forest, traps on the ground covered with passing wooden boards, and blood-sucking leeches in the swamp were all temporarily neutralized. This indicates Poison King Valley has no malice."

Manager Wei was quite surprised, "Young Master Su knew everything. Indeed, the Valley Master knew you were coming today and specially controlled all obstacles in advance. Otherwise, without the Valley Master’s permission, no one could step in here alive."

Fu Chou also vaguely noticed this, so he followed the servant.

Manager Wei instructed the maid to serve well and withdrew.

Two maids carried a large tub of hot water into the room, prepared clean clothes, and bath towels, and stood on either side, ready to help Su Qingyue undress.

"You may go now." Su Qingyue started to undo her buttons. Ancient women liked to have maids help with bathing, but she didn’t prefer that.

"The maids will be waiting at the door." The two respectfully left the room.

Su Qingyue closed the door, took off her clothes, removed the human skin mask from her face, and walked naked into the bathtub.
