Chapter 12: Qi Yichen in Critical Condition! (1/2)

“Ah! I really cannot walk anymore!” Gu Qingyu collapsed onto the ground, she was just too exhausted.

“...” Jia Qizhe stopped, then continued on, “Let’s go.”

Qi Yichen looked at Gu Qingyu, then followed after Jia Qizhe.

“Damn! You’re really willing to abandon me? Xiao Qi! ” Gu Qingyu shouted after Xiao Qi, who was last in the group.

Xiao Qi ran to Gu Qingyu’s side, “Xiao Yu, there’s really a lot of monsters at night, we have to keep going!”

It looked like asking Xiao Qi would not work, so Gu Qingyu changed her mind. She shuffled to Jia Qizhe and latched onto his leg, “Ah! The beautiful and handsome Hero Jia! Please have pity on me!”

Xiao Qi froze. Her face was full of shock, her whole body turned rigid in the strong wind. “Xiao...Yu…”

Even the ever-calm Qi Yichen widened his eyes.

“...” Jia Qizhe was silent for a bit, then squatted down and patted her on her head, “Ok, let’s rest for a while.”

Gu Qingyu tilted her head upwards as she looked at Jia Qizhe in disbelief, “You...You actually agreed?”

“Actually I agreed from the start, I was looking for a good place to rest.” Jia Qizhe shrugged nonchalantly, while smiling deviously.

...You gotta be kidding me!Gu Qingyu felt enraged.

Suddenly, a rustling noise came from the woods. Qi Yichen immediately spread his fan in front of himself. “Shield!” A golden light formed a shield, blocking the attack of several silver needles.

“Those needles are poisonous!” With her cat demon senses, Gu Qingyu could smell the poison on the needles.

“So we’re not fighting demons, we’re fighting people.” Jia Qizhe smiled as he relaxed, “Then if it’s just men we’re dealing with, there’s nothing to be scared of.”

...Of course you have nothing to be scared of, what about me?And with Qi Yichen here, she cannot transform. She was in deep trouble. Within moments, shadows descended upon them. All of them wore black masks and skin-tight suits. They all look like professional assassins!Gu Qingyu grumbled internally. Who in the world did I piss off!

“Why are you after us?” Jia Qizhe conjured his sword, the tip of his blade emitted an azure mist. Despite the situation he kept an even tone, there was not an ounce of panic in his voice.

“No. Hero Jia, we respect you immensely.” One of them, who looked like the leader of the assassins, bowed. “We are here to assassinate the Third Young Miss of the Gu family. As long as you do not interfere, we will not hurt you or your friends.”

The leader of the assassins looked at Qi Yichen. “We apologise for what we just did.”

“But, she’s my friend too.” Jia Qizhe tilted his head slightly and the man collapsed in a flash of blue light.
