Chapter 48: Because she wanted to wed you (1/2)
A long, sharp whistle…
All of a sudden, mass after mass of black fog appeared from four corners, spreading across the skies as if trying to cover them up. Unexpectedly, there were this many poison mosquito swarms, and they all obeyed the commands of that woman. Han Yunxi was alarmed. This woman can actually control the swarms, no wonder she injured Long Feiye! Her skills aren’t ordinary!
The female gave another whistle. Immediately, all of the swarms converged into into a dark black sea and surged towards Han Yunxi.
“Long Feiye, if you don’t want that woman to die, then you better keep me alive!” the spy threatened as she backed away. She’d hidden for so long in Tianning Country without ever seeing Long Feiye touch another woman, much less hold one in his arms. It was even rare for him to speak to females.
Today, he’d brought this woman here in his embrace. Even with her life hanging in the balance, she couldn’t help but be surprised. Who was this woman? What kind of weight did she hold in Long Feiye’s heart?
Seeing the dense, dark mass about to overwhelm her, Han Yunxi shot a glance towards Long Feiye before suddenly yelling out, “Ah…I’m so scared!”
“It’s too scary! Your highness, save me! Hurry up and save me!”
“Sobs…it’s disgusting. Your highness, I’m afraid!”
……
While she screamed, she even danced around to wave and smack at the swarms. Long Feiye’s eyes betrayed a dumbfounded expression before he quickly understood. Unconsciously, his lips drew into a helpless line.
Seeing this, the female spy grew smug and gave a cold snort. “Long Feiye, I think you’ve seen quite a few of your men die pitiful deaths from poison, right?”
“Your highness, she’s threatening you, how terrifying!” Han Yunxi fretted.
No matter what kind of battle he faced, Long Feiye always forced it to a quick conclusion. He wouldn’t waste any time with the enemy. But against the female spy’s threats, he was unusually patient. This made the spy relax as well instead of suspecting Han Yunxi.
Filled with confidence, she raised her eyebrows in a cold smile. “Long Feiye, if I die, she dies. Moreover…don’t think you’ll be able to escape from this valley, either.”
Unfortunately, even Long Feiye’s patience had its limits. An annoyed expression emerged on his face before his sword suddenly was resting against the spy’s neck.
“You!” the spy was greatly alarmed. She threw him an angry warning. “Long Feiye, have you thought things over clearly?”
Only now did Long Feiye open his mouth, words merciless and ice-cold. “Your Lordship wants to you die…with discontent!”
With these words, Han Yunxi came to a tacit understanding and stopped moving. A crafty smile crept onto her lips. At this, the spy grew uneasy. “You two…”
But it was already too late. Han Yunxi took out two spray bottles and stuck up her leg like some fairy tale princess before elegantly walking around in a circle, spraying medicine as she went. The ring of mosquitos around her lessened by one circle, leaving the female spy stupefied. She had no idea what kinds of thing Han Yunxi was holding.
Han Yunxi did another elegant circle and gave a light wave of her hand. Very quickly, the mosquitoes all backed away before rapidly speeding off. The female spy was utterly discomfited. Ignoring the sword at her throat, she whistled again and again, but between obeying her commands and preserving their lives, the mosquitoes infinitely preferred the latter. The female spy tried multiple times before losing hope. She gave an incredulous look towards Han Yunxi and asked, “What…what is that you have in your hands?”
Han Yunxi walked over with her eyes curved into crescents, smiling harmlessly. “My family’s highness said he wanted you to die in discontent. Sorry, I can’t tell you.”
With these words, Long Feiye’s sword relentlessly released a spray of fresh blood as it sliced across skin. The female spy fell to the ground, her eyes wide open. She had died without ever knowing how Han Yunxi drove off the mosquitoes. Han Yunxi knelt down and carefully scanned her sword. She discovered that it contained the same snake poison that had poisoned Long Feiye that night. It looked like this fellow had been chasing the spy for a long time. Finding her for the antidote must have been related to this matter.
Northern Li Country had spies who knew the poison arts. Han Yunxi felt that the entire situation wasn’t so simple anymore.
“You could tell her sword had poison just with a glance?” Long Feiye asked in bewilderment.
The mosquito swarms had been huge and carried their own scent, so it was possible for Han Yunxi to smell them. But as for this sword…
Han Yunxi stood up calmly. “I sniffed it out.”
