Ye JunFei didn’t expect Ye MuXi to be so efficiently ruthless.
She said to take action and action she took.
What was even more unbelievable was that she was so fast that Han XiuYuan, a person who had opened his Earthly Soul, couldn’t even react.
Han XiuYuan’s face turned pale in an instant after realizing in hindsight that he had been crippled. The intense pain along with the blood that gushed like a fountain, made his body rock with tremors.
“Ah…you! You!” Han XiuYuan covered his lower body. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and was extremely pampered, never suffering much. This time, the pain he had to endure caused him to speak with difficulty.
He could barely cover the cascade of blood, and most of all, when he saw that certain thing on the ground, he felt dizzy after each wave of pain.
Ye JunFei’s mind was in bad shape.
He stared incredulously at Ye MuXi: “Ye MuXi, you’re crazy! Do you even know who he is? Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the entire Han clan?”
Ye MuXi curled her lips. “He dares?”
Ye JunFei gritted his teeth. “The strength of the Han clan is such that even our own family has to yield to them with courtesy, you don’t think they dare? At that time, even if the Ye clan’s own family members were to step in, they wouldn’t be able to protect you and your mother!”
Ye MuXi withdrew the cold, glittering dagger from her hand and wiped away the blood. “If he dares, I guarantee that the entire capital of NanYan will know that the Han family’s eldest lord is nothing more than a eunuch.”
Han XiuYuan was a womanizer and a pleasure seeker, plus the Han family was huge. If he knew that Han XiuYuan had been ruined….
“You…Ye-Ye MuXi you…”Han XiuYuan thought of that possibility, and his face turned even more ashen as the words came out. His dizziness came again and again, and in the end, he just blacked out and fainted.
“And you.” Ye MuXi turned her gaze towards Ye JunFei.
Looking at the pair of eyes that were clearly so beautiful, but unusually cold, Ye JunFei involuntarily took a step back and stared at her cautiously.
It was unbelievable that he, a cultivator who had opened his Human Soul, would be afraid of a mortal’s eyes.
“If my mother is missing a single hair, Han XiuYuan’s end will be your end.”
Ye JunFei swallowed, “If you dare to touch me, this clan will not let you and your mother go.”
Ye MuXi was expressionless. “Don’t worry, I’m the best at destroying corpses.”
Ye JunFei: “……..”
This definitely was not the ditzy Ye MuXi…absolutely not!
Ye JunFei had this thought in his mind for some reason; he really couldn’t believe that the girl who was annoying and starry-eyed a month ago, would turn out to be as vicious as she was today.
“Now, lead the way for me.” Ye MuXi looked at him with cold eyes. “It’s best if I see her before dawn.”
Ye JunFei looked at the unconscious Han Xiuyuan on the ground and clenched his teeth.
In fact, there was a sentence that Ye MuXi said that was right. When Han XiuYuan wakes up, he definitely wouldn’t want anyone to know about him being crippled. Yet he had witnessed the entire process.
Han XiuYuan might even take out his anger on him when the time came.
Thinking of this, he hardened his heart and gritted his teeth. “Ye MuXi, you win!”
He had no choice but to lead the way.
This was one of Han Xuyuan’s small courtyards, and the Han clan’s guards had become so accustomed to what Han Xuyuan would do every night, that after the arrival of Ye MuXi, the guards knew to retreat far away, so as not to disturb the mood of their young master.
Thus, when Ye JunFei and Ye MuXi left, they didn’t see the guards.
After leaving the courtyard, Ye JunFei’s heart was still a little unsure. On one side, if Ye Muxi was a fake, who could she be? But after thinking back and forth, he couldn’t discern any part that was fake.
Third half of midnight1had passed, and the night was getting deeper and deeper.
In the top suite of the Tower of Welcoming Celestials, Chu Ci made the bed and was preparing to let his master sleep, when the long sword placed on the table started to hum and vibrate behind him.
Chu Ci’s face changed, quickly picked up the longsword and lowered his voice. “Master, a Shaman Puppet is approaching.”
In front of the window, a slender figure in fluttering clothes was distantly illuminated in the moonlight. The crescent-white, silver-patterned brocade robe was not brilliant, not eye-catching, but it was prestigious beyond compare.
When hearing Chu Ci’s voice, he turned his head, and it was a face that had a countenance of all concentrated beauty on earth and an up-raised eyebrow peak as delicate as a feather. The thin lips had a slight lift, a faint curve; it had a slight coolness, along with a hint of a light smile.
“A Shaman Puppet?” He spoke. His voice was low and cool, but very pleasant to hear.
Chu Ci replied, “There seems to be four Shaman Puppets approaching…just around the corner.”
He swept out of the door and flew out the Tower of Welcoming Celestials.
The man sitting by the window tidied his long sleeves, seemingly smiling as he watched Chu Ci’s figure landing on the street.
On the other side of the street, two silhouettes were approaching leisurely.
As these two figures drew closer, the longsword on Chu Ci’s body vibrated more and more, until these two figures were fully revealed.
Startled, Chu Ci realized that it was a human man and human girl, not a Shaman Puppet.
He quickly returned to the man’s side. “My lord, it is strange.. They’re obviously two humans, but the human girl has the Shaman Puppet’s smell on her body.”
The man’s deep eyes fell on the tiny figure in the street. “Oh?”
A low voice of confusion spilled out, and the man’s gaze became even darker as he saw the girl’s face.
He looked up and touched his chest, remembering the foot that viciously stomped on him during the day. He raised his eyebrows. “It really is… a small world2.”
“Master?” Chu Ci looked at him, puzzled. ” Does the master know this duo?”
The man rubbed his chin. How could he not recognize her?
He wouldn’t forget this brat who had stomped on him during the day, leaving him to die.
Not only that, she also stole all the money bags the Shaman Puppets had on them.
To even dare to snatch Shaman Puppets’ silver, was bold. But was she that desperate for money?
“She is probably carrying a Shaman Puppet’s Inner Bead with her.”, the man said unhurriedly.
“I see, no wonder she has the scent of a Shaman Puppet on her. But Shaman Puppets have mental connections among their companions, so they should be looking for her soon.”
Shaman Puppets are not weak. This time, those people sent over a hundred Shaman Puppets to take advantage of the master’s most vulnerable period, just after his transformation, to sneak in an attack. They probably gave their all, to send so many Shaman Puppets.
Fortunately, the master is fine.
Just as the master and servant were talking calmly while looking at the girl, the girl seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly raised her eyes to the building where they were looking over.
Ye MuXi had felt that someone was staring at her; the gaze was well hidden, but she could discern a probing glance.
With the sudden raise of her head, she plummeted into a pair of lustrous ink-black eyes.
Being caught on the spot by Ye MuXi, the man did not panic, but rather, nonchalantly waved at her, smiling. “Young lady, the night’s dew is harsh. How about coming up for a drink?”
Hearing the voice, Ye JunFei also raised his head and was stunned when he saw the startlingly handsome face by the window.
It was a man who was so gorgeous that he was somewhat unlikable, yet not at all feminine.
“You freak.” Ye MuXi expressionlessly dropped the two words and continued to walk forward.
The man: “……..”
“That man is…” Ye JunFei couldn’t help but ask as he saw such a good-looking man for the first time in his life.
“Let’s go faster.” Ye MuXi was a little impatient, “Do I look like someone who would find a brothel boy?”
Ye JunFei was dumbfounded, “B-brothel boy?”
“What is he if not a brothel boy who is posing and flaunting flirtatiously there in the middle of the night?” Ye MuXi didn’t bother to pay him any more attention and strode onwards.
In front of the window, the man who was ‘posing and flaunting flirtatiously’: “……..”
