C18 (2/2)

”It's fine, it's fine. I've already inquired about it. No one will come here tonight!” Even though he said that, seeing that the peonies were already dressed, he started to clean them up.

It was at this moment that a cold light shot from the top of the pavilion towards Peony. Only when they got closer did they see that within the cold light, there was actually a sharp blade!

There was a tearing sound in the air. The strength and speed of the blade had already reached an extraordinary level.

Peony wanted to dodge, but it seemed that the weak Ning Xuemo could already see the Black and White Impermanence. Facing this all-out attack, coupled with the sharp blade of a sneak attack, she had no way of resisting it!

The only thing left was regret. ”Am I, Peony, going to die like this today?”

He silently closed his eyes as two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks.

Right at this time, a dot of golden light shot out from afar and struck the sharp blade. The force of the attack was so strong that it deflected the cold blade.

In the end, the cold blade only cut off a few strands of Peony's hair, before whistling past half a foot from her neck.

In that moment of life and death, Peony felt as if it had made a trip through the underworld. The sweat that had just evaporated flowed down its face.

Di Long had been scared silly just now. Now that he saw his father rush over to save Peony, he was relieved. He said excitedly, ”Peony, are you alright? Luckily my father arrived in time!”

Peony came back to her senses, a little annoyed. She looked at Dillon with a look that was not only disdainful, but also loathsome. When he thought about how he was facing death, Di Long was stunned on the side without a sound. He was extremely furious.

However, it was Di Kun who saved him after all. Peony hurriedly bowed to him and said with gratitude, ”Thank you for saving my life, Manager Di. I will never forget this!”

Di Kun didn't reply to Peony. Instead, he looked at the pitch-black top of the pavilion. There, a dark figure stood silently, exuding a powerful aura that was not inferior to Di Kun's.

”Who are you? Why did you want to take her life?” Di Kun knew that the other party's strength was not inferior to his. He spoke with a grave expression.

The black shadow in the pavilion was as tranquil as the night wind. Only the sleeves of his robe fluttered before disappearing without a trace.

When Di Kun was standing on top of the loft, the black shadow rose and fell in the distance and disappeared under the moon like a goose.

He mumbled, ”Who is this person, taking the life of the peony, could he be from Mei Lian's side?”

Di Kun's guess was right. The black figure that the wind had silently left was precisely the veiled Meryl.

At this moment, Meryl appeared on the roof. The moonlight covered her body, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. A light breeze blew past, and the veil fluttered, revealing her fair and rosy cheeks and vermilion lips. She was dressed in a white dress that fluttered in the wind, looking extremely beautiful.

Although she was over forty years old, she was still like Chang'e, who had just walked out of the moon.

”Di Kun, I didn't expect that you would appear at such a crucial moment. You are really cunning. It seems like you also know that someone will take this opportunity to kill this woman who helped you get the Boundless Universe Crucible!”

”Although she escaped death today, there might not be a next time!”

Meryl's voice rang out in the night. She took mysterious steps and disappeared into the distance in the span of a few breaths.
