Chapter 694: Agitation, waiting for them to beg (2/2)

“Now it’s time for your lordship to protect you,” he murmured by her ear, his voice enough to make her burn!

“Sure…” Han Yunxi trailed off tenderly.

Long Feiye tightened his grip on her before drawing out his sword. Together, they shot forward like an arrow to catch up to the mosquito swarm. Long Feiye had kept his eyes open while Han Yunxi was protecting him, but now she was leaning against his chest with eyes shut, utterly relaxed. No matter how much Long Feiye trusted Han Yunxi, it was certain that she had complete faith in him!

Meanwhile, Lady Leng Yue and the young woman were still waiting. Suddenly, the young woman exclaimed, “Lady Leng Yue, look quickly! What’s that?”

Lady Leng Yue had already noticed the giant black miasma emerging from the matrix. It was moving extremely fast and flooding the air. As she gaped, she lost the will to speak.

“Is it poison miasma?” the young woman asked.

“No, it’s Han Yunxi…” Lady Leng Yue trailed off. This scene was all too familiar for her eyes. When she had been trapped in the formation, Bai Yanqing had bumped into her and used this same “poison miasma” to break through the matrix.

Yet this wasn’t miasma, but a poison mosquito swarm!

Who knew that a young woman like Han Yunxi possessed the same skills? Her poison techniques had to surpass that of Jun Yixie. Perhaps she could even fight on level with Bai Yanqing? Just who’s her master? Would they be stronger than Bai Yanqing too?

Does Bai Yanqing know about this?

“What kind of nonsense are you spewing?! It’s just poison miasma. It’s perfectly normal for that to show up in a damned place like this!” the younger woman said unhappily.

“It’s Han Yunxi! They’re out!” Lady Leng Yue unsheathed her sword and stood on guard.

“How is that possible? How could Han Yunxi understand the art of the Qimen Dunjia?” Furious at the thought, she huffed, “Lady Leng Yue, are you panicking just because of some poison? It’s true that Han Yunxi’s skills are formidable, but–”

Before she could finish, the sound of buzzing reached her ears. Alarmed, she spun around at the same time Lady Leng Yue took to the skies. The young woman only saw a swarm of mosquitoes heading her way. Too stunned to escape, she could only stand there and scream. “Ahhhhhhhhhh….!”

She was soon swallowed by the swarm, but they chose to ignore her in favor of the lake behind her. Scared to death, the woman only kept her face covered and kept screaming. “Ahhh…ahhhhhhh!”

“What are you yelling for? Trying to call back your soul?” The woman’s voice that spoke wasn’t very loud, but it carried an air that made one impossible to ignore its speaker.

The young woman abruptly stopped screaming. She discovered that none of the mosquitoes had harmed her at all, so she was still alive. She quickly dropped her hands, only to see Han Yunxi and Long Feiye already standing in front of her. Or rather, Han Yunxi was the one standing, while Long Feiye stood behind her back. The former spoke coldly with a face free of makeup. “Were you the one who kidnapped Grand Concubine Yi?”

Afraid, the young woman backed up a few steps and almost fell into the lake. Luckily, she dug her sword into the ground in time to regain her balance. Lady Leng Yue suddenly swept in to bring the girl aside while increasing the distance between her group and Long Feiye’s. Her movements were swift and clean, of admirable skill.

Finally regaining her senses, the young woman immediately lowered her voice and said, “Long Feiye, I told you to come solo. Why did you bring her along?”

Once again, Han Yunxi was completely ignored. She’d long grown used to such treatment, so she only went to examine the younger woman. Unfortunately, the girl was wearing a veil and using an assumed voice that made it impossible to identify her. However, it was certain that they knew each other.

The young woman might have ignored Han Yunxi, but Long Feiye was worse. He bypassed her completely to look at Lady Leng Yue and asked, “Lady Leng Yue, how about your lordship strike a deal with you?”

“Speak,” Lady Leng Yue was calm.

“Kill this woman.” Long Feiye got straight to the point.

The young woman grew alarmed. “Long Feiye, don’t you want to see your imperial mother anymore?”

Translator’s Note: Maybe we should call this series “Mosquito Master Mistress” instead…lol. Again, holding off on teaser GIFs until we reach our c700 landmark! Woohoo!
