Li Feng's expression turned even colder.
'Of course they were careful.'
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Understood. Thank you for your hard work, Little Ling."
"Mm! You're welcome~"
With that, he returned the corpse.
After checking it a few more times and still finding no other results or hidden tricks, Li Feng finally turned to leave.
Yue Lan and Lan Suyao followed him silently out of the Cold Jade Chamber.
As the heavy stone door slowly closed behind them with a dull thud, the Cold Jade Chamber once again fell into complete silence.
Inside the now-empty chamber…
Prime Minister Mu's corpse remained sitting upright on the stone chair.
That strange, fanatic smile was still frozen on his lifeless face.
It was as if he hadn't died at all…
…but had instead achieved paradise.
The dim blue light of the cold jade stones reflected off his pale skin, making the smile look even more eerie and unsettling in the silent chamber.
