Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Ye Lingyue was fully alert. The assassin was much more formidable than she imagined.
He could even evade the attack of the Little Boundless Finger. It turned out that he was no less powerful than someone in the realm of reincarnation.
Long Baobao was scared dramatically. He grabbed the hand of Ye Lingyue and his small body could not stop trembling.
“It turns out that you are much smarter than the self-conceited stupid woman. I am just wondering how you found it out.” The little boy smiled sinisterly.
“It is quite simple. There is the Bamboo Village on Zizhu Mountain. I know exactly that most of the villagers now live a safe life in another place.” Ye Lingyue had met the beaten beggar-like boy and his mother. They told her that the Bamboo Village only contained 200 households or so. Most of them were now in the Ancient Forest, so they could by no means appear here.
“Then why not tell your partners? Look, how scared the little creature is!” The boy looked at Long Baobao extremely sarcastically.
He hated Long Baobao. Why was the world so unfair? Long Baobao was taken good care of in every way, but he was born an orphan and then sent to a group of assassins. For all his life, he was treated as a tool for killing.
“Rather simple. I just detest some people and want to kill them by taking advantage of you. Moreover, Little Longbao should be taught a lesson. I want him to know that no one shall be easily trusted in the future.” Ye Lingyue took a look at Long Baobao.
Hearing these words, Long Baobao raised his little head instantly and looked at Ye Lingyue in disbelief.
He could not imagine that such cold words were spoken out by Ye Lingyue who had been treating him so nicely.
“Sister Black Moon...”
That was why Ye Lingyue allowed Long Baobao to play with Xiaoxiao these days. That was why Ye Lingyue agreed to let the boy sleep in the tent tonight.
“Little Longbao, this world is hideous and you have to pay your tuition in order to live on. In the future, you should remember all the time that what happened tonight is your tuition.” With these words, Ye Lingyue grabbed Long Baobao with one hand and flew out of the tent in a flash.
“Let me see how far you can run away.”
The boy moved his feet and then jumped out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the three sisters of the Xia Family, Zhuge Yi and others were sieged by a dozen of refugees.
The refugees that looked rather fragile in the daytime instantly turned into assassins with sharp weapons. This had taken everyone by surprise.
Hong Yulang ate little due to his injury, so he had not taken much poison. Others all felt a serious lack of Yuan and spiritual energy after a fight.
“Grandpa Huang.” Long Baobao and Ye Lingyue rushed over.
“Fortunately, you are safe and sound, young master.” Steward Huang was in low spirits but there was a sense of joy shown on his face when he saw Long Baobao.
Ye Lingyue quickly looked around and then gathered force with her finger. The second move of the Little Boundless Finger shook heaven and earth.
Like howling winds and pouring rain, the finger gathered massive force. It was so strikingly powerful that the dozen of assassins were pushed backwards swiftly.
“You are not poisoned?” The three sisters got sweat all over their faces. They were shocked by Ye Lingyue’s extraordinary power and bravery and showed a sense of joy.
If Ye Lingyue arrived a bit later, they could not hold on.
Ye Lingyue passed a poison-removing pill to Steward Huang.
“How about ours?” Zhuge Yi and others were in great surprise.
“Do you have anything to do with me? Look, who invites trouble from the gang?” Ye Lingyue looked around and did not see Song Jingyun or Lan Cai’er.
Although she knew that the members of Disha were not poisoned, she was still a little worried.
“Black Moon, we are now in the same boat. Saving us will help you.” Xia Meng was so angry that she was on the verge of swearing.
“Too many people will make the boat sink. Give me credits if you want the pill.” Ye Lingyue swayed her sleeve. A shroud of Xianluo Ghost Smoke appeared and surrounded the enemy. They were helped out for the moment.
“You are obviously blackmailing us! Don’t you fear that we will report it the Alliance of Mercenaries?” Zhuge Yi clenched his teeth with anger since he was already blackmailed by Ye Lingyue twice.
“Only if you survive to report!” Ye Lingyue snorted and disregarded the threat of them.
“What a sinister woman! Do you plan all this well in advance? You know that there is something wrong with them and want to threaten us right at this time?” The three sisters were not that silly.
Ye Lingyue rolled her eyeballs.
It was not easy for her to find this opportunity. It was all thanks to the self-conceited white lotus flower Song Jingyun.
“We would rather die than give the credits to you.” The faces of the three sisters were red with fury and they were eager to swallow Ye Lingyue alive.
“Ladies, you need to think about it. Sometimes, death turns out to be the easiest result. You three have such pretty faces. If you are captured by them, you will feel that to live is no better than to die. Maybe you will be raped before dying or die before being raped.” Ye Lingyue’s words had a certain effect.
The three sisters were terrified.
Then Ye Lingyue was about to take back the smoke.
“I will give you. I still have more than 50,000 credits. I will give all of them to you as long as you can ensure that I am safe tonight.” Xia Qing was the first to speak out.
“I... I also have more than 50,000 credits. Elder sister, it is not the right time for putting on a bold face. As long as we can survive, there will be all kinds of possibilities.” The second sister could no longer restrain her desire for survival.
“Have you thought clearly? If you want to die, I will immediately take back the ghost smoke.” Ye Lingyue sneered.
Xia Meng was hesitating but eventually gave in to her inner fear by giving her card of credits.
Instantly, Ye Lingyue burst out laughing. The cards of the three sisters contained more than 160,000 credits, even more credits than those given to her in exchange for escorting Long Baobao this time.
After throwing three poison-removing pills to them, Ye Lingyue glanced at Zhuge Yi and Hong Yulang.
The two shivered at the same time.
In particular, Hong Yulang hated and feared Ye Lingyue’s tricks even now.
“Haha. You are my old customers and I intended to offer you a bargain price. Pitifully, only one of you have credits. So I can only give you one pill. Who will live and who will die? It is all your choice.” Ye Lingyue curled her lips.
“Ye Lingyue, how malicious you are!” Hong Yulang glared at Ye Lingyue full of fury.
“What? She is Ye Lingyue?” Zhuge Yi was stupefied.
“Exactly, it is me. I have no time to recall our ties.” Ye Lingyue humphed.
Outside the Xianluo Ghost Smoke, the noises gradually vanished.
Ye Lingyue was quite clear that the hallucination created by the ghost smoke could trap those assassins for at least one or two hours. If time lasted longer, however, she was not sure of the effect. After all, it was only a spiritual artifact of the Xuan grade.
She was still worried about the safety of others.
“My grandpa and I both need the pill. I can exchange my earth grade spiritual artifact for your pill.” Hong Yulang gritted his teeth and took out a spiritual artifact.
