Chapter 44: The Bloodiness Enchanting All (2/2)
But as the team leader, Li Xin'er deliberately kept leading them deeper into the forest.
Before they knew it, they reached the depths of the peripherical mountains, exuberant towering trees darkening the whole area.
Dimly, they seemed to have sensed a tinge of danger lurking somewhere around them.
”Roar...” suddenly, deafening roars of magic beasts rumbled over from the depths of the forest.
The momentum of the sound was definitely not something that the sound of those low-level magic beasts on the periphery could compare with.
Instantly, Gu Qin and Xin Yi stopped, their eyes sweeping around vigilantly and nervously.
”Junior Sister, we've reached the boundary of mountains. If we keep going, I'm afraid we'll be entering dangerous area,” Gu Qin said with a frown on his face.
Xin Yi also nodded, ”Yes. Mr. Wu said that we should gather medicinal materials within a range of a hundred meters, but now we don't even know how far we have walked.”
”What are you nervous about? This distance is perfect. Even a scream won't be heard by Mr. Wu,” Li Xin'er stopped and said inexplicably, the corner of her lips curved up.
Gu Qin and Xin Yi was stunned. What does she mean?
At this time, with a cold flash of ruthlessness in her eyes, Li Xin'er whipped out her sword and pointed at Yun Wu, ”You, I've been sick of you for a long time.”
Yun Wu watched Li Xin'er who was pointing a sword at her, a ghost of sepulchral smile flashing across her pretty face.
Seeming as if she had seen through Li Xin'er's thoughts a long time ago, Yun Wu was exceptionally composed at this moment.
Exchanging an eye contact, Gu Qin and Xin Yi were startled by Li Xin'er and they didn't try to think why Li Xin'er wanted to do this.
Gu Qin walked over, reached out his hand and pulled that of Li Xin'er's before asking with a frown, ”Junior Sister, what are you doing?”
”Hem! Don't you think this guy's disgusting, Senior Brother?” finally a fearsome expression came over on Li Xin'er's face. Now that they had gone this far, there was no need for Li Xin'er to conceal her true intention of killing Yun Wu.
Among the three trainees, Xin Yi was the relatively timid one. Hearing Li Xin'er's remarks, her heart missed a beat and she hurriedly waved her arms, saying, ”Come on. Put your sword away, Li Xin'er. If Mr. Wu knows this, he's definitely gonna punish you.”
”I must kill him today,” Li Xin'er raised her voice, a cold murderous look flickering in Li Xin'er's eyes. By the light, the blade of the sword reflected its shiny sharpness.
She had been waiting for so long, so how could she possibly let go of this opportunity?
Gu Qin and Xin Yi were scared by Li Xin'er's posture, but they also knew her very well.
They turned their heads and looked at Yun Wu, what happened the day before yesterday flashed through their minds. They had never endured that kind of humiliation and shame before, and technically, this guy in front of them was the very reason why they had had to go through all that. And now here was a very good opportunity. If they didn't kill him now, they might never get another chance again.
Killing intent flickered in their eyes.
Both the two pulled out their swords and formed a row opposite Yun Wu.
Li Xin'er was very satisfied with their joining in and she gave a few cold laughs, ”You know what you did wrong, pal?”
With a languid look on her face, Yun Wu let out a ”Hoa” sound in a low voice and asked rhetorically, ”What did I do wrong?
I'm actually curious about it.”
”What you did wrong is that you shouldn't have been an interfering busybody that day,” replied Gu Qin impatiently.
Yet Li Xin'er said, ”Do you actually think that you deserve that handsome man?
And you even dared to require teaming up with me. You should have pissed onto the ground and looked into the urine to see how disgusting you are.”
”It's been more than a year, Li Xin'er. I didn't expect that you're still so narcissistic.”
The corner of Yun Wu's lips curved into a perfect curve, and the next second, with a flip of her hand followed by a flash of cold light, a sword mounted with rubies was produced.
The three was amazed. Since when had she been carrying a sword?
It had been a year?
Did she meet her a year ago?
Li Xin'er started recollecting.
Yun Wu gave a gentle twist to the sword in her hand and then sank it heavily into the ground, a surge of intangible killing aura storming towards the three.
Nobody knew whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Her tightly tied hair suddenly loosened and the raven hair stuck to her face in gusts of icy wind, covering her exquisite white face with a layer of chilly murderousness.
She had always had her own principles -- repay every favor, and settle every score.
Li Xin'er must pay for whatever she had done to her.
Now that the three of them wanted her dead, then it was not necessary for themselves to live any longer.
Certainly, before that, she would tell Li Xin'er the true meaning of the word ”disgusting”.
Black hair covering half of her face, she narrowed her cold eyes as if she were a vengeful ghost coming from the hell to collect lives.
Suddenly, the faint image of a sick-looking face flashed across Li Xin'er's mind.
Li Xin'er's heart missed a beat. With a shiver of her hand, she subconsciously called, ”Yun--Yun Wu!”
‘No, impossible. She couldn't be Yun Wu.’
Yun Wu's a sick good-for-nothing. How could she possibly be here? Besides, this was northern Magic Beasts Forest. How came...
With various ”how come”, Li Xin'er denied the suspicions in her mind.
‘No, impossible. Yun Wu's a woman. She is merely...’
However, a breeze went by and blew aside the hair covering Yun Wu's face, which was like white jade and bearing a cold-blooded smile.
In Li Xin'er's mind, a scene abruptly passed through -- back when they were still in the Yu mansion, she whipped Yun Wu till she was covered in bruises and cuts before hanging her by her feet from a tree. At that time Yun Wu was dying. Her body was dangling to and fro with neither any vigor on her face nor any strength to struggle.
At this instant, that image of Yun Wu in Li Xin'er's mind overlapped with this Yun Wu before her.
”Yun Wu...” Li Xin'er's heart missed a beat. Widening her eyes, she stared squarely at Yun Wu, unable to believe what she was seeing.
”Very good. It seems that there's no need for me to bother explaining to you who I am before you die.”
