Vol 7 Chapter 12 (2/2)

“What’s going on?!”

“Lord Liu Bei, watch out for this sc.u.m!” Lu Meng replied me first between pants.

“Oh? Liu Bei is finally here?” Just then, a very gentle voice that had a slight echo came from inside Bo Fu’s room. It wasn’t loud but it was clear and audible. Similarly audible were the sound of footsteps that got nearer.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Release the curse on my lord now!”

In the next instant, Lu Meng leapt up and charged at that person’s position as she waved her hookswords like a tornado.

“That’s enough, little lady.”

“Eh?”

When the mysterious person said so, Lu Meng suddenly decelerated in the air and her legs twisted as she fell to the ground.

Lu Meng’s blow was negated in an instant. As for the mysterious person, I didn’t even see her figure, let alone how her counterattacks.

“That fellow… Isn’t normal.” Feng Xian said with a look of disgust.

“What happened?”

“Even I could only see it for a single moment…” Feng Xian clenched her teeth and revealed her fangs, “That fellow in the room kicked Lord Lu Meng’s arm and calf, for a total of 3 blows. All of them landed on the joints.”

Eh?! That remarkable?

When I heard this, I really wanted to know who it was who could have made Bo Fu gravely ill in an instant and have such a high level of skill in martial arts.

But at this time, my legs were glued to the spot. This is probably an old problem of mine.

“d.a.m.n it…” Lu Meng couldn’t accept the difference in strength and tried to get up.

“That’s enough, Lu Meng.” Another voice that did not belong to any of the other 3 came from the direction of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao.

“But!”

“That’s enough.” The female voice continued, and only then did Lu Meng give up. Several footsteps could be heard as the person came up to Lu Meng and picked her up. When she saw this, Chen Wu went up and helped that person carry Lu Meng.

Only then did I realise that the person was the maid I saw last night.

Why was she here? Is she really just a servant?

“Let’s get back to the main topic.” The ethereal female voice came from inside the room once more, “But before that, let me thank you lot for helping me summon Liu Bei here.”

“… No, that’s all we could have done under such circ.u.mstances.” Zhou Yu said sarcastically but the ethereal female voice didn’t seem to mind.

“Whatever you say. But right now, I wish to speak with Liu Bei alone.”

“Don’t…”

“Alright, I understand.”

“Commander-in-Chief!”

Lu Meng was still agitated but Zhou Yu agreed. It was clear that the other 3 had no objections as well.

I took off my shoes and lowered my head as I entered the building. I then respectfully walked into the room where Bo Fu and the female voice was in and softly closed the door.

Before I closed the door, I took a quick peek at everyone’s faces and saw Zhou Yu and Lu Su’s earnest faces, Zhang Zhao’s disdain and Feng Xian’s worried look.

As for myself, I was utterly bewildered as to why this female voice wanted to speak with me alone. From what I remember, this clearly wasn’t in the script.

After I closed the door, I respectfully sat down and raised my head to look at the one before me.

The woman was wearing a set of plain white robes with no accessory at all and looked extremely elegant. Her long, luscious hair was tied back in a ponytail. Her features were delicate, and her skin was completely white and speckless. Her eyes were clear as fresh spring water and she was smiling.

If I had to use a simple and slightly exaggerating way to describe her, she would be like a G.o.ddess,

I stared at her in a daze for a few seconds before I recovered and understood how urgent things were.

I should ask about Bo Fu first.

“Ah…” Just as I was about to speak, the woman in front of me spoke first.

“You must be Liu Bei right… No, it would be more accurate to say that the role you’re playing is Liu Bei right?”

“… Eh?”

What… Did she just say?

I felt both surprised and fear at these sudden words while the G.o.ddess-like woman in front of me continued to smile.

“Speaking of which, I have yet to introduce myself.” She lowered her head as she continued, “My name is Yu Ji.”
