Chapter 257 Dual Personality (1/2)

“Just look at Princess Yu! I’ve never liked beautiful women, they have no brains!”

Once he finished his sentence, Xin Li crushed the Rosa Multiflora in his hand into a million pieces.

The blood-red petals fell to the ground in shreds. Suddenly, the pair of hands covered in petal juice reached for Lin Mengya.

“Protect her.”

Qinghu then shoved Lin Mengya forcefully into Baisu’s embrace. He fearlessly went up with his sword.

“Watch out!”

The guards who were hiding near them all charged out immediately. They surrounded themselves around Lin Mengya and formed layers of protection. At the same time, they were dressed in black suits. Xin Li’s team also charged out.

“Why are you risking your lives to fight me over a woman?”

After a few moves, Qinghu and Xin Li separated instantly. Xin Li’s face remained cold as he stared at Qinghu, who was in front of him. This dockmaster of Peach Blossom Dock! Right now, his hands were numb from the shock.

“No wonder Dajin, that useless sh*t, still could not eliminate Lin Mengya after so many attempts. Indeed, this is a tricky situation.”

“If you dare to harm her, I will kill you.”

Qinghu held onto his sword and a cold smile hung from the corners of his lips.

As long as he was alive, he would not allow anyone to hurt her!

“Wow, I didn’t expect her to be so important to you. But, you aren’t really a man, are you? I heard that back then you were…”

Without holding back, he triggered Qinghu by mentioning his dark past. But surprisingly, it was a useless tactic. On the contrary, Qinghu’s gaze became increasingly scornful.

“You sissy, how dare you have the nerve to talk about me! Go die!”

The two became entangled very quickly under the falling snow. Their sword moves were fast, each counter between the two would create a layer full of bloody mist. For those whose martial arts skills were not as good as theirs, it was a massacre.

Soon after, several guards from Qinghu’s team died. Those who were lucky to be alive were all injured. Of course, Xin Li’s team was not better.

These people were entangled with each other. They would never let go of their enemies, even when they died.

“Lin family’s guards, leave now, forget about me!”

Lin Mengya screamed suddenly. The Lin family’s guards were all heroes on the battleground. She could not let these people die in vain for her.

However, the guards would not leave. Lin Mengya could only follow Baisu helplessly and crouch down within the shrinking circle of guards.

“Master, if you can’t take it anymore, then leave quickly on your own. I have an idea to deter Xin Li.”

Baisu’s face was full of a look of determination.

Lin Mengya knew that the idea she was talking about would definitely end up with both sides being heavily injured. It might even be that lives would be exchanged.

She could not let Baisu say such things, yet she saw Baisu swiftly harvesting the five jade cards that were hanging.

“Xin Li! I’m going all-in with you! Return me my master!”

Baisu charged out of the protective circle when Lin Mengya was not paying attention. Holding onto a long sword, she was ready to fight Xin Li with her life.

“Come back! You’re not his match!”

Lin Mengya’s heart was burning with anxiety, yet there was no way to pull Baisu back. “This silly girl, does she really think that Xin Li will let us go if she goes up to sacrifice her life?”

After joining the chaotic fight, Baisu partnered with Qinghu and gradually suppressed Xin Li.

Meanwhile, on Lin Mengya’s side, the protective circle became stronger despite it shrinking. Soon after, the men in black could not break through them at all.

After calculating the time, it seemed like the backup from Prince Yu’s Mansion should be here anytime soon. The Lin family’s guards were definitely the smartest and most quick-minded out of all the guards.

He must have sent some back right from the start to fetch help.

When either one of the Lin family’s or Prince Yu’s Mansion’s guards arrived, Xin Li would have to leave no matter what.

Unexpectedly, just after she finished her calculations, she heard a pitiful cry of pain, which caused her heart to fall instantly.

Just earlier, Baisu had a slight advantage, yet due to a moment of carelessness, Xin Li grabbed her by the throat and turned her into a hostage.

Meanwhile, there was no way Qinghu, who wanted to attack but was afraid of triggering Xin Li, could disregard Baisu’s life completely. Hence, he pierced his poisoned nails into Xin Li’s chest.

“Go to hell!”

Xin Li’s face was full of struggles. Although he failed to dig out Qinhu’s heart, the poison had already contaminated Qinghu’s wound.

However, he was shocked to see that Qinghu’s face became paler by just a shade and he did not fall.

“What a strong poison, but this thing is useless on me!”

When the poisoned seeped into Qinghu’s body, it did cause some obstruction to his vital energy. He had grown up eating poison, so this little bit would not be enough to kill him.

However, he also needed some time to recover. Both of them then stood frozen like that for a while.

“Qinghu! Baisu!”

Lin Mengya barged through the circle of protection and appeared in front of Qinghu in a few steps.

In her mind, the name of the poison flickered fervently. Her heart had already reached her throat. “Will this poison cause the remaining poison in Qinghu’s body to counterattack?”

“Silly girl, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

The fervent toxic in Qinghu’s body brought him great discomfort. The sword in his hand supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

However, Xin Li did not gain any advantage out of this.
