Chapter 714 Sneak In


    “Don’t worry. I’m a gentleman. I won’t force you. In fact, I want you to do it willingly if I ever want to


    sleep with you.”


    Jared shed her a confident smile as he arranged his mattress on the floor.


    “Who in the world will want to sleep with you,” she muttered softly.


    With a roll of her eyes at him, Lyanna climbed into bed without changing out of her clothes.

    She didn’t tell Jared about the dissipation powder because she wasn’t nning on feeding it to him.


    Aware that he would be nothing more than an average man awaiting his death if he lost all his powers


    and recovered them after twelve hours.


    Shey in bed for a long while and couldn’t fall asleep. Hearing Jared’s carefree snore, she sat up


    feeling frustrated. “Oh my, how can you still sleep so soundly knowing you will turn into a cadaver king


    soon?”


    She changed into an all-ck catsuit, then snuck out of the room. Since she couldn’t ask Poison King


    directly, she would have to poke her nose around to search for clues about her parents.


    Right after she shut the door to her room, the snoring Jared opened his eyes immediately. With a curl


    of his lips, he followed her out.


    She made a beeline for the second floor where Poison King sleeps. After having stayed there for


    twenty years, she was familiar with the cabin and the timing of the guards’ patrol. It was a piece of cake


    for her to dodge all the patrolling guards.


    Soon, she made it to the second floor. She didn’t find anything after sneaking around themon


    area. She knew the secrets of Poison King would be locked in his bedroom, but there was a strict rule


    that nobody could enter his bedroom without his permission.


    Never once had she entered his room in the twenty years she had stayed in Mapleton. She was never


    curious about his bedroom until now when she needed to search for clues about her parents.


    Hiding under the window to the room, she carefully peeked inside. Her eyes widened after a nce at


    the interior of the room. The entire room was decorated festively with a red nket and fairy lights as


    though it was for a newly married couple.


    She didn’t hear anything about Poison King taking a bride during her stay in Mapleton, so why would


    he decorate his room in such a way?


    The decorations seem recent. Is he nning to take a bride soon?


    She filed away the thoughts at the back of her mind and pulled her focus back on her mission. Once


    she was sure Poison King was asleep, she sneaked into his room.


    With light fingers and feet, she began to search around.


    The furnishing within the room was simple. There was only a table, a closet, and therge safe beside


    it. Her gaze zeroed in on the metallic cube, assuming Poison King would keep all his confidential and


    important documents inside it.


    A sense of helplessness filled Lyanna as she studied it. Even though she possessed martial arts skills,


    she didn’t have the skills to open the safe. She could open the safe by force, but that would risk Poison


    King finding out someone had snuck into his room.


    Her gaze darted around the room as she contemted, finallynding on a piece of photo on the table.


    Picking up the photo, she scrutinized it under the moonlight.


    Her entire body stiffened when she saw the people in the photo. She could recognize the young man in


    the photo as Poison King when he was younger, but there was a young girl too. The girl looked familiar


    to Lyanna because she looked very simr to herself.


    Despite the photo being slightly yellowed from its age, Lyanna was sure she was rted to the girl in


    the photo for they looked too alike to deny any rtion.


    Still immersed in analyzing the photo, Lyanna didn’t notice Poison King had sat up. “Who is it?”


    His shout startled her. She swiftly pocketed the photo and leaped out of the window.
