Chapter 212: I’ll Kill All of You With Explosives (2/2)
Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan pounced on that figure one after another, and both stretched to catch that figure. While, the moment when their fingers touched Murong Xue’s dress, a sound of ‘bang’ came, her dress was blasted, sending Ye Yichen, Qin Haoyan and the guards nearby into the air.
Standing in front of the rockery and dressed in white underskirt, Murong Xue coldly gazed at the people who were shook out with the barest hint of a smile on her face.
Murong Xue knew they were going to ruthlessly kill her with an explosion. So she took off her outer dress, put explosives on it so as to disguise it as herself, thus giving them a taste of being blasted too.
Qin Haoyan fell down to the bluestone road, and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood, burning pain spreading all over from his chest. He wrathfully raised his head, and inadvertently found Murong Xue standing beside the rockery. He narrowed his vicious and presumptuous eyes all of a sudden, and shouted, “Murong Xue is there, go get her!”
“Yes!” the guards took his order. Then, they struggled up, and stumbled towards Murong Xue with long swords in their hands.
“Such a bunch of injured guards want to catch me? How ignborant!”
With a scornful smile, Murong Xue quickly ran under a high wall, and easily jumped out of the it as if a beautiful butterfly.
“Go get her now! We must catch Murong Xue!” Qin Haoyan made a harsh order with blazing fury burning in his pupils. “No one has ever dared to hurt me. And that made Murong Xue the first one. How bold she is!”
“Yes, sir!” the guards immediately answered, and ran after her in a hurry.
“Eh-hem!” Ye Yichen coughed as he fell to the ground. He slowly stood up with the support of the big tree beside him, and gave the guards who were chasing after Murong Xue a meaningful stare.
After getting out of the courtyard, Murong Xue ran past streets and alleys. Yet, her nice eyebrows wrinkled tightly at the sight of the guards who were running after her.
“How annoying and abominable they are!”
Murong Xue remained calm and rushed forward. Suddenly, an arm stretched out before her eyes before she was muzzled and pulled into a nearby alley.
Murong Xue was horror-struck, and was going to struggle, when a faint smell of ink-bamboo spread to her nose, and a melodious and clear voice rang near her ear, “It’s me!”
Murong Xue was stunned, and pushed Ouyang Shaochen’ hand away. She raised her head and looked at him with a puzzled look, asking, “Shaochen, why are you here?”
Having ran fast all the way, Murong Xue, together with her half-wet and half-dry white underskirt which was stained with mud, as well as her messy hair, looked like a drowned mouse.
Ouyang Shaochen frowned, and looked at her with disgust, saying, “It’s me who should be asking questions. What have you done? Why were you chased all over the street by the guards looking like a drowned mouse?”
Hearing that, Murong Xue turned sullen and explained angrily, “It’s not my fault since it’s them who tricked me first, so I taught them a lesson.
“Ah, where were you when teaching them that lesson? Since there’s a strange smell spreading from your body.” Ouyang Shaochen interrupted her with disgust on his face.
“I smell strange?” asked Murong Xue dubitatively. Then, she grabbed her sleeve and sniffed, a light smell of sludge spreading to her nose. Murong Xue blinked her eyes and thought: “That’s the smell of the pond sludge. Maybe it caught me when I was swimming in the pond.”
