Chapter 031 – Human Shaped Cushion! (1/2)

031 – Human Shaped Cus.h.i.+on!

The courtyard is deep and hidden; the tall walls of the private courtyard that Li Yan and Luo Qi had bought when they just came to Jiangnan city has now became a natural barrier isolating them from the rest of the world.

For many people, it is still a quiet and peaceful morning, but for the Li family it is a nightmare.

The attack of an a.s.sa.s.sin was something they had never even considered before.

Who would have imagined, a good-for-nothing youth could have attracted the attack of a high-level a.s.sa.s.sin such as Crow —and even to the extent of using an absurd reason that his right hand gave a gold coin to his left hand as payment?

At the time of danger, Li s.h.i.+nian was always the first one to rush in front of Li Muyang.

In her mind, Li Muyang was frail and weak, just like when he was young and needed protection and care,

“A deal?” Crow looked at the calm little girl across, he felt a truly fantastic feeling.” Little girl, do you know what you are doing? You want to make a deal with an a.s.sa.s.sin? If a.s.sa.s.sins are able to casually negotiate a transaction–then can they even claim to be an a.s.sa.s.sin? ”

“I'll give you the 'Art of Breaking Body'. ” Li s.h.i.+nian said in a clear voice.

Just now, when she punched out, she noticed that the a.s.sa.s.sin's face was filled with astonishment.

She remembered his expression, so she could conclude that the martial arts her s.h.i.+fu taught her is likely to be powerful.

Li s.h.i.+nian was a clever person, and in addition to this, she's also fairly composed.

If other girls were to encounter this kind of situation, they would have already hid behind their parents crying incessantly or even collapsing to the floor.

However, Li s.h.i.+nian took the place of her brother and parents in negotiating with an a.s.sa.s.sin.

“s.h.i.+nian–” Li Yan urgently shouted. He knew that the yellow-robed Taoist doted on her; he also knew that when he left, he gave a yellow-coloured book to Li s.h.i.+nian and repeatedly told her to take care of it, and not to lose it or let other people know.

Right now his daughter is going to use it to exchange, is that not going against the wish of the man who gave her the book?

However, his daughter is going to use the secret book to exchange for his son's life. He could not say words to stop her no matter what.

Li s.h.i.+nian stared at a.s.sa.s.sin Crow without blinking, then explained to her father: “Father, I remember s.h.i.+fu's words, but this is a critical moment, I can't worry about that now—I will explain it to s.h.i.+fu. If there is punishment, I will take full responsibility.”

Seeing the silent and unimpressed expression on Crow's face, Li s.h.i.+nian then tried again and said: “The person you want to kill is my brother, but look at his condition—his body is weak and pitch-black. He was struck by lightning when he was born, even until now he's still in a lethargic state, unable to do anything–Is a trash like him really worth the effort to kill yourself? If others know of this, would that not attract the laughter of everyone? ”

“Rich and powerful, generals of the kingdom, women and children, rich young ladies– as long as someone is willing to pay, there is no one we won't kill. Whether he's a trash or not—” Crow glanced at Li Muyang, then a cold smile emerged on his lips as he said: “Little girl, I'm afraid you don't know even what kind of a monster you're protecting, right? ”

Of course Li s.h.i.+nian doesn't know what kind of monster Li Muyang is, since she was already certain that he's a weak man who can't protect himself.

“No one actually paid for my brother's life, right? ”

“He spoiled my good work, I have to kill him.”

“Let my brother go, and I'll give you the 'Art of Breaking Body'. As for the matter of your own right hand giving your left hand a gold coin, no one will know–”

Crow is tempted by the 'Art of Breaking Body'. The 'Art of Breaking Body' is a secret book of Taoism, a very high level of Taoism. Apart from the senior Taoists and the seven wandering Taoist spiritual masters, no one is qualified to give it away.

Ziyang Taoist is one of the seven spiritual masters. Many years ago it has been said that his powers had reached the Withering Glory stage, able to decide life and death with just one thought. Crow does not dare to mess with Ziyang Taoist, but he still had the nerve to bully one of his disciples.

The person he's going to kill is Li Muyang, and not his disciple Li s.h.i.+nian.

“After killing you, I can also get a hold of the 'Art of Breaking Body'.” Crow sneered aloud.

“Kill me, and you get nothing.” said Li s.h.i.+nian. “The 'Art of Breaking Body' is in my mind.”

“Are you kidding me? “Crow face turned gloomy. He could tell that this little girl is very intelligent, and also slippery. Kids are this precocious these days? They even can negotiate business so skillfully? Nowadays, they are able to negotiate transactions with a.s.sa.s.sinations. Don't tell me that they teach this in school? In that case, the business of the a.s.sa.s.sination school that he graduated from is bound to be affected strongly.

The Kingdom's economy is in a slump; every profession is competing intensely against each other. The a.s.sa.s.sination business was also the same.

Crow is worried about his alma mater; written on the school gate back in his years was the ancient teaching: ' Today I am proud of the school, tomorrow the school is ashamed of me'. He had always kept this in mind, and he wholeheartedly aimed to be famous in order for the school to be ashamed of his excellent a.s.sa.s.sination achievements.

“I hope the school stay strong, it must not close down easily.” He silently prayed.

“I hope you will respond as soon as possible, otherwise, if you wait until Xiaoxin sister arrives, you will most likely get nothing. I'll give you the 'Art of the Breaking Body' and pretend you did not come today, how about it?”

Crow stared coldly at Li Muyang and said: “Li Muyang, do you really need a girl to stand up for you?”

Li Muyang patted his sister's shoulder and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice: “s.h.i.+nian, let me–”

“Brother—” Li s.h.i.+nian screamed: “Don't try to be brave. Do you not know the condition of your body? He is deliberately luring you out, and then he'll kill you in one strike. Don't listen to him, and stand behind me. If he dares to lays his fingers on you, I will fight him with all my might—“

“s.h.i.+nian—-”

“Be quiet.”
