Chapter 68 – Assasins The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

Murong Xue was exhausted. The slight shifting of places didn’t make her open her eyes. Instead, she merely switched her position to find a comfortable spot in Ouyang ShaoChen’s arms. Having found it, she buried her head in it and continued to sleep soundlessly.

It was as if she didn’t have any bones. She was soft and her faint fragrance encircled the carriage. It caused the calm aura of Ouyang ShaoChen to ripple.

Peering down at her, he saw that she was breathing lightly, her long eyelashes casted shadows beneath them and her pink lips were pursed together lightly. It was as if they were waiting for someone to kiss them.

Slowly, Ouyang ShaoChen reached down and lightly placed his lips on hers. Her lips felt soft and sweet. However, his light kiss had intruded her constant breathing…..

Murong Xue had felt some discomfort in her sleep. Her eyebrows knitted together lightly. She then buried her face deeper into his arms, avoiding the chance of another kiss.

Gazing at her half buried face in his arms, Ouyang ShaoChen lightly grimaced: Did she just reject him…? Or was it because she didn’t like people to disturb her while she was sleeping?

Ouyang ShaoChen slowly straightened his back. He looked at her quietly, his eyes held shades of an enigma.

Suddenly, his expression darkened. He then opened the hatch above the carriage, carried Murong Xue and flew out.

While he was in halfway in the air, a loud “BANG” was heard. The luxurious horse carriage was blown to smithereens, its wooden structure ricocheted away and smoke rose from it.

Murong Xue awakened at the sound of the explosion and looked at the blown apart carriage. She immediately knew what had happened. Her face darkened to a murderous shade: The horse carriage had the Zhen Manor’s logo on it. The person who buried the bomb beneath it was obviously aiming for her!

Ouyang ShaoChen slowly set Murong Xue down safely on the ground. All of a sudden, they heard something aerial heading towards them.

Murong Xue turned to look and saw countless black-feathered arrows heading towards them from all directions. The sky was dense with them.

“Assassins! Protect Miss Murong and Heir Ouyang!” someone exclaimed. Wu Heng, Xun Feng and the Zhen Manor’s guards assembled around Murong Xue and Heir Ouyang, forming a protective circle. They used their blades to stop the impending arrows.

Only the sound of repelling the arrows were heard. Having being repelled, the arrows dropped on the ground. But a few guards got hit too.

Ouyang ShaoChen held Murong Xue lightly and saw the direction where the arrows were coming from. It was as if he was already used to being ambushed.

The arrows were raining hard on them but the swords were also fast to repel them. Xun Feng and Wu Heng’s swords were waving around so much that even wind couldn’t penetrate their swings. For now, the rain of arrows couldn’t hurt Murong Xue and Ouyang ShaoChen.

In another place, the black-shirt aggressors saw that the arrows had no effect. They lightly waved their hands and the others stopped shooting their arrows. Instead, they unsheathed their long swords and attacked.

Xun Feng, Wu Heng and the palace’s guards also did the same and met the aggressors head on. At that moment, the air was filled with the battle’s rage……..

More than 10 people were in the fight, one couldn’t see much but they could see Xun Feng and Wu Heng’s swords as fast as the wind. Wherever they had swung their swords, black-shirt aggressors would fall on the ground…….

“Xun Feng and Wu Heng’s martial arts skills are quite decent!”Murong Xue praised: Ouyang ShaoChen had trained them and indeed, they had stood out.

“They are the best among my guards. Even though the black-shirt aggressors are many but they are not their opponents…….” Ouyang ShaoChen replied calmly.

Suddenly, they heard another aerial attack. It was an arrow and it was aiming for Murong Xue….

Ouyang ShaoChen released an energy from within and aimed for the fast-approaching arrow.
