Chapter 148: Indifference The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Those thin and long water snakes jumped at Yuan Fangfei and entangled her ankles. Yuan Fangfei immediately pulled out a dagger and swayed it at those snakes. Instantly those snakes were cut into halves and fell into the lake, making circles of ripples…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Murong Xue was also swaying her sword to chop off those snakes and then kicked them into the lake. But more and more snakes kept crawling onto the deck…
Yuan Fangfei frowned, “More and more snakes are gathering, like we can never kill them all. We have to figure a way out…”
“Have you come up with one?” asked Murong Xue randomly while swaying her sword to kill those snakes.
“No!” Yuan Fangfei shook her head desperately. She was most good at fighting the enemies. When she was at a war, she could at least come up with tens of methods to win. But she had never fought with snakes. She had no idea how to deal with them at all…
“Ah…” The screaming sound pieced through the clouds. Murong Xue raised her head and saw two or three three–to-four-meter-long snakes were crawling onto the high platform and pouncing at those women folks…
Murong Rou, Madam Zhou and Song Qingyan were also among them, who were retreating backwards with the crowd. Suddenly they missed their steps and fell into the lake!
“Help…Help…” Murong Rou couldn’t swim. She was shouting for help while struggling in water.
“Help…”Madam Zhou was also shouting for help with her body floating up and down in the water.
Song Qingyan had learnt how to swim for a few days, so she knew a bit how to swim. She was struggling in the water, trying to let her head stay above water while quickly scanning around. Suddenly she saw Murong Xue on the pleasure boat. Her eyes shone, “Xue’er my cousin, help me….help me…”
Madam Zhou was stunned. She followed the way Song Qingyan was looking at and saw Murong Xue and the giant pleasure boat. Her eyes also immediately shone with hope, “Murong Xue, row the boat here…” One could tell she was ordering Murong Xue through her tone!
She was still so arrogant while begging others to save her?! Was she out of her mind?
Murong Xue snorted in her heart and said indifferently, “I’m busy killing those snakes. Don’t have time to row the boat…”
“You…” Madam Du got choked by her words. She then stared at Murong Xue, with rage under her eyes.
Song Qingyan blinked her eyes and immediately cried, “Xue’er my cousin, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have stopped you sitting on the high platform. It was all my fault. I can understand if you don’t save me. But please save my mother and my aunt. They are also your elders. You can’t watch them die without doing anything…”
Now people’s eyes all fell on Murong Xue. They all knew Murong Xue and Song Qingyan were old enemies. Song Qingyan was not right to insult her, but after all she was Murong Xue’s cousin, Murong Rou was her father’s sister, and Madam Zhou was her second uncle’s wife. If Murong Xue transferred her anger on them at such a critical moment, she was too blinkered…
Murong Xue sneered. So Song Qingyan tried to use the public voice to push her to save them. Well, since they asked for death, she’d make them!
Murong Xue looked at Song Qingan and said word by word, “It’s not that I don’t want to save you. It’s also very dangerous here on the boat. Are you sure you want to come up?”
