Footsteps grew closer.
Feng Xi finally regained consciousness and immediately took out the corpse-dissolving powder.
Unexpectedly, the person outside seemed to sense something was amiss in the room and suddenly leaped up.
The door was instantly opened.
And Feng Xi had just poured the corpse-dissolving powder onto the maid's corpse.
A thick smoke billowed out, and the entire room was instantly filled with a foul odor.
Under this dense smoke and stench, the corpse quickly dissolved into a pool of water.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xing watched helplessly as the maid's corpse vanished into thin air. She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
She had been tracking the ghost-like figure and lost its trace after it reached the courtyard.
She had already searched elsewhere and finally found this place.
To her surprise, the person was with Feng Ling, and they were… destroying evidence!
Feng Ling and Feng Xi exchanged glances. Feng Ling took a step forward, closed the door, and used her body to block the doorway, cutting off Yu Xing's retreat.
Yu Xing immediately became defensive, "Miss Feng, what do you mean by this?"
"Yu Xing, what did you just see?" Feng Ling asked calmly.
Yu Xing snorted coldly and angrily said, "You killed someone and destroyed the evidence, and now you want to kill me to silence me?"
"Heh, you worry too much. That maid just tried to assassinate me, and I merely killed her in self-defense."
Feng Ling curved her lips into a smile, but her eyes held no mirth.
"If it was self-defense, why would you need to dissolve her body?"
Moreover, Yu Xing had seen it clearly. It was not self-defense at all!
It was clearly a brutal murder!
Even though she only caught a brief glimpse, those two glances were enough to make her unforgettable for a lifetime!
The maid had been kicked to death!
Kicked again and again until her body was a bloody mess!
Looking down, as expected, there were still bloodstains on Feng Ling's boots.
Feng Ling knew what she was looking at. The bloodstains on her boots were so obvious that anyone with eyes could see them.
It seemed that deception would not work.
But she did not panic. Instead, her smile deepened, "Yu Xing, tell me, why exactly did I dissolve her body?"
Yu Xing said coldly, "I don't need to guess, and you don't need to explain to me. Save any explanations for the Prince."
As for the woman in her room, Yu Xing felt she had seen her before, but she wasn't sure.
This matter needed to be reported to the Prince first before any conclusions could be drawn.
"Move aside!" She stared at Feng Ling, who was blocking the door.
"What if I don't?" Feng Ling's smile gradually faded.
When she wasn't smiling, her expression became increasingly terrifying.
But Yu Xing was not that timid. Having followed the Prince for many years, she had seen all sorts of villains.
"You want to kill me to silence me? Miss Feng, I advise you to think twice."
With Feng Ling's martial arts, she was no match for her.
"How could I possibly..."
But before Feng Ling could finish speaking, Yu Xing distinctly felt a chilling aura coming from behind her.
She turned around and sent out a palm strike.
Having been prepared, the woman behind her, who even possessed corpse-dissolving water, was naturally not to be trifled with.
Feng Xi was forced back several steps by the force of her palm strike.
The Four Killers by the Prince were indeed extraordinary. Although Yu Xing's martial arts were not as good as Jing Ri's or Wang Yue's, she was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Feng Xi's eyes darkened. With a flick of her hand, she scattered a handful of colorless and odorless powder.
