Qing Chen was like a fly. He just had a finger in every pie.
At this time, Qing Chen was standing in front of several âcorpses.â The moonlight sprinkled his face, lending a silvery halo to his outline. He looked like a night elf, and was even more fascinating and intriguing.
But Ming Shu felt that kind of strange pure breath again.
In a brief moment of stillness, that feeling disappeared without a trace. There was only the seductive procurer standing before her eyes. The procurer smiled and said in an intoxicating voice, âMiss Zhi Po, you are too careless. Look, so many people have sneaked into the house and you didnât know.â
Ming Shu looked beyond the âcorpses.ââWhereâs Liu Feng?â
âI let him rest for a while.â Qing Chen dragged his long dress and walked to stand in front of Ming Shu. He leaned forward slightly, and the strange scent gradually became stronger. âMiss Zhi Po, the moonlight is very good tonight. Itâs perfect for healing, what do you think?â
WTF? Psychopath!
What does good moonlight have to do with healing?
Ming Shu relaxed her wrists and, in the anticipatory eyes of Qing Chen, she put on a light smile. âI think itâs more suitable for beating you.â The next second, she clutched Qing Chenâs collar and maneuvered him into a neat overarm throw. Then Qing Chen was flung to land together with several dead bodies.
Qing Chen lay on the corpses helplessly.
Is she a woman?
Is she even a woman!
Do you think that Qing Chen will give up like this?
No!
He was a persistent person, and he wouldnât give up until Ming Shu agreed to treat him.
But Qing Chen was also a smart person. He always appeared at the right time and would never annoy Ming Shu, sometimes he even gave Ming Shu a hand. However, Ming Shu didnât buy his âkindness.â Every time he would be either thrown out or driven out, which made the entire Drunken Flower Pavilion lose fac.
Qing Chen almost became skeptical about life.
âŚ
May 9th.
The emperorâs birthday. Many big shots were invited to attend the celebration.
Somehow Ming Shu also received an invitation. After her âfierceâ temper was revealed to the public, for this period, apart from Qing Chen who still dared to harass her brazenly, the rest had all kept silent.
Even those rebellious disciples of Death Valley didnât show up.
Actually, these people of Death Valley shouldnât be blamed. Usually when someone was betrayed, they would be very angry and anxious, but this didnât seem to apply to Ming Shu. She didnât respond with any ferocity to the whole thing, and her behavior basically said, âItâs okay if you want to rebel, just donât bother my eating.â
This totally confused the rebels from Death Valley, and they didnât dare to take any action.
âMiss, are we really going inside?â Hui Xue was a little hesitant as she gazed at the majestic palace gates.
Ming Shu ignored the little beastieâs resistance and put it inside her sleeve with the egg. âWeâve arrived at the doorway. If we leave now, weâll be laughed at by them.â It might be fun.
âButâŚâ Hui Xue tried to persuade Ming Shu. âHey, Miss, wait for me.â
Ming Shu entered the palace with the invitation.
Before walking too many steps, Ming Shu was blocked by Bai Yanran. Her face had recovered and a Death Valley disciple stood beside her. Seeing Ming Shu, the discipleâs head bowed with guilt.
âYi Ming, youâŚâ Hui Xue pointed at the disciple disbelievingly.
Bai Yanran proudly held her head high. âZhi Po, have you slept well lately? Well, it would be a good thing if you hand over Death Valley, so you wonât have to suffer anymore.â
Ming Shu smiled at her meaningfully.
After a few secondsâŚ
âAh!â
Bai Yanranâs screams drew everyoneâs attention.
Ming Shu waved her hand unhurriedly and said, âSheâs in my way.â
Bai Yanran fell to the ground awkwardly, drawing all kinds of gazes from different directions. For Bai Yanran, these stares were like raging flames, burning her heart.
She looked at Ming Shu with a dark face, hatred surging within. Bai Yanran couldnât understand. Obviously the woman standing before her eyes was the one whoâd been scolded by the whole continent, and she should be despairing and crying all day long. But why did she still look so natural and unrestrained?
âShe is that Zhi Po? Why is she here in the palace? Death Valley is now a mess, but she doesnât seem to be anxious. Itâs really a pity that Death Valley has been passed onto her. Even its reputation will be destroyed.â Some people began to talk about Ming Shu with each other.
âWell, she could do nothing about itâŚ?â
âBut she is very powerful. Even that many people didnât best her.â
âWhatâs the use of being powerful? After so long, when did she show her medical skills? What is Death Valley? Itâs a place famous for healing. No matter how powerful she is, itâs useless if she canât heal anyone.â
âRightâŚâ
âWhat are you discussing?â
âWhat else could we be discussing, itâs that Death ValleyâŚâ The voice of the answering person cut off abruptly, and his heart beat fast. He turned his head carefully. His face suddenly twisted and he stuttered, âMa⌠Master Qing Chen.â
Howâhow how how is he here!
All the voices seemed to disappear at the same time. Qing Chen casually walked past them, each step seeming to take a century.
As Qing Chen approached the scene of the âaccident,â another âaccidentâ suddenly occurred.
Shua!
Bai Yanran bounced up from the ground and a cold light flashed in her hand. A whip inlaid with sharp barbs appeared out of nowhere, making a crisp sound as it cut the air.
Bai Yanranâs gaze was full of hatred. She cracked the whip toward Ming Shu fiercely.
Ming Shu shook her finger in the air to stop Liu Feng.
She then turned to avoid the whip. Bai Yanran had poured so much Qi into the whip, the air seemed to become tight and awful because of it.
Kill her.
Iâm going to kill her.
Bai Yanran waved the whip quickly and poured more and more Qi into it. The long whip dropped from above, leaving Ming Shu nowhere to hide.
It seemed the whip would fall on Ming Shu any minute, but Ming Shu grasped its other end with her bare hands, pulling in a rush. The whip tightened.
Blood rushed out of Ming Shuâs palms, but she still maintained a light smile. Then with one fierce tug, Bai Yanran staggered and was pulled down to the ground.
Ming Shu drew the whip to circle around Bai Yanran and tied her up easily.
Bai Yanran struggled, but the barbs plunged deeply into her body, causing her no small amount of suffering. She screamed, âZhi Po, you bitch, let me go!â
âWhat did you say?â Ming Shu picked her ears as if she didnât hear the words clearly.
âBitch! Let go of me. I am the young Miss of the Bai family. How dare you do this to me. Iâll let you die. Are you deaf? Save me!â The last sentence was shouted to Yi Ming.
Yi Ming wanted to help, but he was scared of Ming Shu and Liu Feng, so he remained motionless.
âI donât care who you are. Even if youâre a goddess, Iâll teach you a lesson today.â Iâm not the kind of person who will be kind to women.
Bai Yanranâs voice was altered because of the pain. âHow dare you!â
âYes, I dare.â Ming Shu smiled happily and pressed hard with her hand. The whip wrapped tighter, such that Bai Yanran couldnât speak due to great pain.
I wasnât responding to you, so you assumed Iâm easy to bully?
âZhi Po, stop it!â Father Bai arrived with many followers, and the surrounding people made way for them one after another. His expression was both tense and angry. âRelease Yanran.â
âWhy should I listen to you?â
âWhat do you want?â As Yanran was in Ming Shuâs hands, Father Bai didnât dare to provoke her even though he was furious.
