Walking out of the room, Ling Tian drew a long breath . He mysteriously felt as though his mood was a little heavy, as though his heart was being weighted down by a lofty mountain .
White robes flashed, and Li Xue smilingly appeared in front of him . ”Is it done, Mister Ling who everyone loves?”
Ling Tian stared at her with a sour mood . ”Ling Jian's sword is already placed on your neck, and you still have the leisure time to stroll around? Be careful that your face doesn't end up being disfigured! If your looks are destroyed, then you won't be a witch in name anymore!”
”Oh, I'm so scared! Cheh!” Li Xue stuck out her neck like a proud swan, raising her head as though in disdain, ”Just based on him? Maybe if he practices for another decade or so, he might have a chance . When the time comes, we'll see how this lady beats up a sandbag then . Like you said, I'm a witch, so how can I play the part if I don't have the skills of a witch?”
Ling Tian waved his hand a little depressedly, ”Then my great Miss, please find your little black cottage to go and fantasize . This n.o.ble here is not in a very good mood now, and I won't entertain you . ” Ling Tian turned around, ready to scram .
”Ha, Young n.o.ble Ling rus.h.i.+ng off to settle his feelings after ending a day of flirting, is it?” Grinning, Li Xue suddenly blocked his path . ”I found out something very interesting, would you like to hear it?”
”Nope . ” Ling Tian felt like hugging his head and screaming . ”I've been eating air for food and camping outside for the last few days, and I would like some good sleep right now . ”
Li Xue laughed craftily, and suddenly started talking to herself, ”Everyone says that a woman goes about conquering her man in order to dominate the world, but I just found out that our Young n.o.ble Ling seems to run opposite to that . ” As she laughed, she slowly spoke each word . ”Our Great n.o.ble Ling here seems to use the method of conquering women to dominate the whole world, hahahah… . ”
A row of black lines appeared on Ling Tian's forehead as he clenched his teeth and spat out, ”This is really interesting . I've just found out that our great Miss Li here is also a woman! So, do you want to conquer, or be conquered?!”
The la.s.s snorted in response, ”So what? Can you conquer me? I'm OK with it if you want to try!” As she replied, she sent over a flirtatious glance . However, not being too used to such actions, it looked like she was glancing at him from the corner of her eyes .
Ling Tian trembled with fright, his face turning white . He immediately circulated his movement technique and ran off as fast as he could . If not for the improvement in his movement technique, most likely he would not be able to outrun her . Before this, Li Xue was the only woman that Ling Tian could not 'chase' . . .

The night sky slowly descended, and following the flow of time, everything turned dark .
Ling Tian's figure flashed around the courtyard, and after circling it once, he landed on a branch of a tree towering the fringes of the compound, just like a falcon . He cautiously landed, and only after checking his surroundings did he sigh in relief, and leap down from the tree, merging into the shadows .
On that same night, the Shui Family who came from afar had a commotion . This few matters let those injured and dead members of the Shui Family feel even more anxious and fearful .
The young n.o.bles from afar, Shui QianJiang and Shui QianHai, were found hanging naked on a tree, their faces beaten and swollen, riddled with injuries and on their last breaths .
As for the last one, Shui QianHu, he got extremely drunk inside the Smoky Thea Pavilion, started a fight with another expert as he vied for attention, and was killed on the spot . His corpse was terrible to behold . This scene was even witnessed by more than a few hundred people . . .
As for the little princess of the family, Shui QianRou used a thousand-year blood ginseng and two Ice Jade Mangoes as well as four trunks of hundred-year Red Jade Ginsengs as the price to move Ye QingChen of Beyond Heavens, allowing him to invite the number one expert Justice to save the dying Shui QianHuan . With the Ling Family escorting him, Shui QianRou proceeded to Beyond Heavens . . .
The supposedly dead Shui QianHuan was suddenly saved!
This news no doubt left many of those with nefarious intentions dispirited .
Outside the city, in the darkness, a black painted carriage silently stopped at the roadside . The carriage seemed to be full of misfortune, and one could even make out the soft sounds of a female crying, full of the sadness of losing a loved one .
Under the dusty light of the oil lamp, the direct descendant of the Shui Family, the only male heir Shui QianHuan's chest had already turned into a deathly shade of black . He used all the strength he had left, and stretched out his right hand, stroking the soft hair of his sister . A look of release was on his face, and even a hint of satisfaction, as he thought how he managed to stab a longsword straight into the heart of Shui QianHu . So what if he died? In the end, he made sure the perpetrator died before him! s.h.i.+u QianHuan thought to himself as he smiled .
From outside, the sound of the wind grew louder, causing the entire carriage to shake . Outside were six strong and burly guards standing on guard, all without a single expression .
”Rou'er… promise Brother… that you'll live on happily, and help brother to take care of Dad and Mom…” Shui QianHuan's mouth slowly moved, staring at his sister's face . ”Brother can't make it anymore, but the bloodline of the direct Shui descendants cannot fade away! You must use your last breath to prevent it from landing in the hands of those despicable people! Promise me!” Shui QianHuan began to violently cough, yet his eyes were still dead set on Shui QianRou . He coughed till he could not catch his breath, and with a choking sound, a mouthful of black-purple blood was spat out .
”Promise me!”
Shui QianRou's face was wet with tears, and she nodded her head, her tears falling like pearls dropping off from a broken necklace onto his body .
Shui QianHuan seemed to use all his strength to catch his breath . Suddenly, his eyes turned warm, and his voice too became dreamy as he spoke, ”I'm not sure about Lady Ling Chen… . But I hope she can… live on happily… if there's a next life… cough cough cough…”
A shadow flashed, and the light suddenly dimmed by quite a bit . ”Brother QianHuan, this younger brother here came to send you off one last time . ” Ling Tian was clad entirely in black, and he slipped into the carriage like a wisp of vapor . Looking at QianHuan, he warmly spoke, ”I know, you have something to say to me too, right?”
Shui QianHuan slowly nodded his head, his gaze turning penetrative, ”It's you! Ling Tian, you actually didn't die, you managed to escape the pursuit from Justice . I only have a word for you, respect!”
Ling Tian smiled in response, ”Between the two of us, one has to definitely remain alive, right?”
Hearing this, Shui QianHuan also laughed out even as he coughed, ”That's right!” He then seriously faced Ling Tian, ”To be able to see you today, I'm really gratified . ”
