Chapter 219: You ignorant woman (2/2)

“Fourth Young Miss Leng, what is the meaning of this?” Qi Yaotian smiled coldly.

“Exactly what it looks like. The Duke of Qin has been invited as an honored guest to our City of Daughters!” Leng Shuang Shuang replied frostily.

“Fourth Young Miss Leng, think it over carefully. You can’t bear the burden of ruining my Carefree City’s business!” Qi Yaotian warned. The City of Daughters and Carefree City had never been on good terms, but they’d managed to coexist peacefully until now as long as well water didn’t touch river water.

“I’ve already said, the Duke of Qin is our City of Daughters’ honored guest. As long as we City of Daughters people stand here today, no one can act as they like!” Leng Shuang Shuang was full of zeal, feeling more and more bold and self-assured as she spoke. Qi Yaotian rebutted each of her words, his stance turning more and more unyielding. Still, neither Long Feiye nor Han Yunxi paid any attention to their banter, much less took it to heart. Long Feiye’s attention was focused on the swarm of bats that could attack at any minute, while Han Yunxi was wholly absorbed, unblinking, on the corpse of the dead bat king on the ground. She seemed to be waiting for something.

Leng Shuang Shuang talked and talked without hearing a sound from Long Feiye. She mused that Long Feiye should look at her with new respect now after witnessing her stand up for him. She couldn’t resist a peek over, only to see that Long Feiye had been completely ignoring her existence. At this moment, Leng Shuang Shuang felt as if she’d been splashed with enough ice water to extinguish all the flames in her body. Just what did she have to do to get into that man’s eyes? Just how should she act for this man to be willing to be on friendly terms with the City of Daughters?

When Leng Shuang Shuang saw his hand on Han Yunxi’s waist, she felt her first uncontrollable flare of jealousy. It was at this moment that all of the surrounding bats suddenly flapped their wings in furious cacophony. As expected, they were preparing to go wild in a frenzied revenge! Leng Shuang Shuang’s eyes shone expectantly. She was waiting for Long Feiye to see what kind of woman would be his true source of support. On the side, Qi Yaotian was even more expectant to see Long Feiye’s fun. After all, he’d raised bats for a very long time. He had yet to see anything more horrific than a vengeful swarm.

The sound of flapping wings grew louder and more violent as the atmosphere turned tense.

“Cover your face well!” Long Feiye said in a low voice as his grip on Han Yunxi tightened. Even she could sense his anxiety. Still, she didn’t feel anxious at all. Her heart filled with a tendril of warmth at the sensation of his hand on her waist.

Long Feiye, though we’re just husband and wife in name and only find each other useful, as long as you’re protecting me sincerely this time, I’ll protect you sincerely in return.

Suddenly, a bat led the attack by furling its wings and launching itself towards Han Yunxi like an arrow drawn from a bow. Han Yunxi’s lips pursed fiercely before she launched a needle at the advancing bat, sending it flying backwards onto the bat king’s corpse.

“Good for nothing little brute!” she sniffed contemptuously.

Hearing this, both Qi Yaotian, Leng Shuang Shuang, as well as the ten assassins, all found themselves at a loss.

Leng Shuang Shuang couldn’t help but curse. “Han Yunxi, you still don’t the severity of the situation? You ignorant woman!”

“Heheh, I never expected Qin Wangfei to be such an interesting woman. Wouldn’t it be a pity to kill her?” Qi Yaotian couldn’t resist a mocking laugh.

Mixed emotions flitted across Long Feiye’s eyes as suspicions filled him. At this moment, all of the bats around them furled their wings and prepared to launch themselves forward like a thousand needles! It was about to begin, their attack was about to start right now!

Intense!

Qi Yaotian couldn’t bother with laughing now, but excitedly held his breath. Leng Shuang Shuang hastily readied her sword, the ten other assassins following suit. The atmosphere had reached its breaking point!

Suddenly, the hundred or so bats all huddled together into a mass!

And yet…
