Chapter 90: The Incumbent Queen (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

”In a while, people of Ouyang Mansion in Water City will come here to pick up Grandma Medicine. When they do, I want you to go with her and take care of her. And there's also another thing I need you to help with... ”

She was supposed to do that herself. But, under the circumstances, she didn't really have another choice.

After telling him what she needed him to do, Yun Wu fished out a small bottle of pills and passed it to him.

”There are three antidotal pills here. When you show symptoms, each of you three should take one. And–”

However, Yun Wu knitted her eyebrows tightly before she could finish her sentence.

'Damn it.'

'They came back so soon.'

”Miss Wu, did something happened to you?” watching Yun Wu who had a deep frown on her face, Li Xuyang asked in concern.

Feeling the two Qi getting closer and closer, Yun Wu didn't have time to tell him more details, so she made one last remark.

”Remember what I told you. If I don't come back, help me take care of my granny and Little Leaf.”

On finishing the last word, Yun Wu leaped upwards.

Meanwhile, she flipped her hands, conjured two flames, clasped them together and with that a fire dragon appeared.

”Roar–”

Dragon roars were instantly heard in the whole village.

At the same time, she clasped her hands again and with that a blue ice python materialized out of thin air, gelid Qi spreading outwards.

”Hiss–Hiss–”

Down below, Li Xuyang widened his eyes in shock on the sight of this scene.

Soon after the two elemental beasts were summoned, she saw that two black figures were rapidly approaching the cottage from the forest.

Before the two arrived, Yun Wu enwrapped herself with wind element, turned into a beam of light and instantaneously disappeared into mid-air.

”You fledgling little girl. How dare you fool us.”

”You're courting death.”

Two cold and angry voices were heard, potent Qi permeating in all directions.

Eighteen and Nineteen whipped out their swords and instantly cleaved the fire dragon and the python formed of fire element and water element respectively.

What kind of power was that?

The noises attracted the attention of all villagers down below and those people outside the village, including Ouyang Ke.

They were all surprised when they saw Yun Wu conjure up flames and water which were then condensed into a fire dragon and a ice python.

However, their surprise didn't last long, since the two middle-aged men showed up soon.

When they saw that the two middle-aged men halved the fire dragon and the ice python in a flash, everybody took a shiver, eyes full of amazement.

Grand Assassins?

They were actually Grand Assassins.

The awe-inspiring Qi pervading the whole village could almost make people's hearts quiver.

However, villagers involuntarily knitted their eyebrows.

The two assassins were hostile to Miss Wu?

There was also a deep frown on Ouyang Ke's face.

In mid-air, after they overcame the obstacles in their path, the two Grand Assassins also turned into two giant beams of light and flashed in Yun Wu's direction.

Killing aura lingered in the air after the three figures' disappearance.

...

The Imperial City.

General-in-chief Yun's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the mansion was somewhat weird this day. Servants and guards were replaced by expressionless soldiers dressed in neat uniforms.

In the Imperial City, armies were not allowed to enter without the King's permission.

But currently, the whole mansion of General-in-chief Yun was surrounded by an army.

This was really weird.

In the living room.

At this moment, the room was full of people kneeling on the ground. On the main seat sat an elegant, noble woman. Though she was in her thirties, her well-featured face could still make people's eyes light up.

This woman was the incumbent Queen, Xue Liu.

Behind the Queen stood a military officer. There was a hideous, long scar on his emotionless face, which made him look rather ferocious.

He scared a lot of people by merely standing there.

The Venerable Master of Yun Mansion, Yun Qi, was standing on the right side of the living room.

”My Queen, May I ask why you and General Liu brought so many soldiers here and surrounded Yun Mansion?” on his old face was a calm, commanding look.

But the discontent in his tone could be distinctly detected.
