Chapter 218: Angering you to stomp your feet

Leng Shuang Shuang had crushed on Long Feiye for awhile now, so of course she’d investigated Han Yunxi. She knew that Han Yunxi was knowledgeable about poisons, but she never thought she could use assassination weapons too. By the time she realized this fact, it was already too late. Her right hand suddenly lost all strength as her sword fell with a clang to the ground. It was obvious that the needles had been poisoned. Still, as part of an assassin family, she betrayed no fear in the face of danger. Her foot kicked up the sword as her left hand caught the handle and stabbed it towards her opponent. “Han Yunxi, I never expected you to be so base!”

Han Yunxi dodged the blows as she released more needles, seizing the chance to widen the distance between her and Leng Shuang Shuang as she ridiculed, “You guys pit ten against one. You’re not only base, but brazen and shameless!”

“Shut it with the nonsense! Meet my sword!”

The numb sensation in her right hand didn’t stay put, but began to spread all over her body. Leng Shuang Shuang didn’t know what poison this was, but her conviction forced her to press forward. Even if she was poisoned, she still had to take care of Han Yunxi before she collapsed. Her blade deflected the needles with a cold and ruthless air, stabbing past Han Yunxi’s face multiple times. The difference of a slight margin would lead to the end of Han Yunxi’s face. Han Yunxi silently esteemed Leng Shuang Shuang’s tenacity as she evaded the blows with a helpful reminder. “Fourth Young Miss Leng, aren’t you curious about the poison in you?”

“Give me the antidote, or else I’ll give you a fate worse than death!” Leng Shuang Shuang kept up her chase. If not for fear of Han Yunxi’s hidden weapons and her own poisoned state, she wouldn’t need to waste so much time pestering this woman.

“Fourth Young Miss Leng, if you don’t stop, you’ll be the one with a fate worse than death!” Han Yunxi wasn’t afraid, but was even laughing and playing around. She rolled about on the ground with Leng Shuang Shuang’s sword in hot pursuit. Still, every time Leng Shuang Shuang stabbed, she’d miss by a tiny margin. Suddenly, Han Yunxi stopped, lying on her side. Leng Shuang Shuang gave a start before recovering her senses. Her sword swept forward, but right at that moment Han Yunxi yelled out, “You’ve been poisoned with a seduction toxin!”

Leng Shuang Shuang’s movements froze at the words. Even the assassins and Long Feiye paused to look over. A strange, limp numbness had long taken over Leng Shuang Shuang’s entire body, teasing each and every one of her nerves. She had been doing her best to ignore it by focusing on attacking Han Yunxi. But Han Yunxi had announced her poison to the world, making it difficult for her to overlook it. When all was said and done, she was still a woman. Half of her willpower crumbled away at Han Yunxi’s words as she felt heat rising from her abdomen. There was an indescribable sense of dissatisfaction that made her uncomfortable enough to yearn for something.

Abominable!

Leng Shuang Shuang forced herself to endure as her sword pointed at Han Yunxi’s throat. She grit her teeth and said, “You obscene woman. Hurry and hand over the antidote, or else I’ll ruin your face this instant!”

Han Yunxi lifted her face and grinned. “Wanna bet that you’ll be more obscene than me soon? Moreover, without my antidote, no amount of men will be enough to satisfy you!”

It sure was something for a wangfei to say such things, but Han Yunxi not only spoke them, but in a loud voice as well. She could admit that she had no sense of propriety, but she happened to have a flair to reveal those proper ladies for what they really were. Leng Shuang Shuang’s face shifted between shades of red and white. She forgot all about appearances as her anger turned her positively shrewish.

Stomping her feet, she rained curses upon her. “Han Yunxi, you shameless slut!”

The assassins on the side couldn’t resist another glance over. They’d spent so many years with the Leng Family, but this was their first time seeing Fourth Young Miss flip out. It was almost unbelievable. Long Feiye’s lips momentarily curved into a disdainful smile. The young lady from the Leng Family didn’t have much self-possession at all. Han Yunxi allowed Leng Shaung Shuang to curse in rage and keep her sword quivering before her as she smiled innocently.

“Fourth Young Miss Leng, don’t get agitated. Otherwise, the poison will spread even faster.”

“You!” Leng Shuang Shuang was ready to skin Han Yunxi alive. Still, she really feared that the poison would make her do something revolting before the Duke of Qin. In the end, she could only compromise. “Just what will it take for you to hand over the antidote?!” Han Yunxi didn’t speak, but glanced over at the fierce fighting behind them. At once, Leng Shuang Shuang understood.

“Give me the antidote and I’ll have them draw back at once!”

“Have them retreat immediately. I have a second condition as well,” Han Yunxi said brusquely.

A second condition? This woman was reaching for a yard after getting an inch!

As the victim, Leng Shuang Shuang could only fold despite her sullen mood. She hesitated before gritting her teeth and telling the ten assassins to halt. Even then, Long Feiye didn’t stop with them, but pulled out a golden whip from his waist. With a crack, he said coldly, “By killing your lordship’s horse, you’ll either leave me one of your lives or have your lordship take all ten!”

So speaking, he lashed out viciously with the whip.

Now this man was reaching for a yard after getting an inch!
