Chapter 797: Unt.i.tled
The three days An Xunuo had lived in the Ye family were so pleasurable to the point that she was forgetting home.
Her interactions with the other members of the Ye family were great, except for Third Young Master Ye, with whom she had the least contact. Ye Hailan and Ye Feimo loved her. She didn’t expect herself to be so popular with the children.
She had seemed to forget her mission.
It was a gentle night. She held her phone tight in her hands, and Silver Cloud’s cold voice came through the phone, rus.h.i.+ng her to go back.
This meant that her overindulgence and hesitance had exceeded the limit of his patience.
An Xunuo looked up at the moon and had mixed emotions. She actually felt like giving up the mission that required her to kill him.
She recalled their first meeting. Although he looked gentle at first glance, he was, in fact, an arrogant person. He somehow took the initiative to compete with Harry in car racing. She wasn’t sure if it was just a spur of the moment, but he had successfully provoked her. She took over the right to race, and the two of them raced cars. She felt the pleasure of competing with a worthy opponent.
The second time they met was in the bar. He had refused to help, and she kissed him on the lips. His gaze was deep and calm, but he helped her in the end anyway. After that, they went for coffee on the hilltop.
She knew that he had a woman whom he loved deeply. She also knew that he had an unforgettable past.
It was the first time she was unsure if she could complete a mission, which was to kill him.
In the past, she never felt at a loss for killing a man. It was his presence that caused a ripple in the calm lake at the bottom of her heart.
‘Should I kill him?’
She didn’t know what to do. She had a few chances to take action when she followed him, but she wasted them.
After those few days of traveling and dancing in the bar, she saw the other side of Ye Ningyuan. The happy atmosphere in the Ye family made her envy as well. If she killed Ye Ningyuan, it was no doubt that they would be devastated.
…
She knocked on the door. He leaned against the door. She said calmly, “Ye Ningyuan, I have something to tell you.”
There was n.o.body on the streets near the Ye mansion at night.
The moonlight in City A was always beautiful, and it sprinkled everywhere. The starry night sky, the sound of cicadas—it was a calm night.
The wind blew. Xunuo was standing under the moonlight quietly in a red dress, and both her dress and hair drifted in the air. Some of her hair covered her pretty eyes, making her look cooler than usual. Ye Ningyuan stood opposite her with a faint smile.
The atmosphere was extremely weird.
‘Is she finally taking action?’
“Ye Ningyuan, I’m a killer.”
“I know.”
“I am here for you.”
“I know.”
An Xunuo frowned slightly. “Since when have you known all these?”
He chuckled. “Right from the start.”
“Is it?” She lowered her eyebrows slightly. If he knew that she was here to kill him, why did the Ye family treat her so well? She was confused. Suddenly, she looked up and said, “Everything doesn’t matter now. I will end all these tonight.”
Ye Ningyuan stood with his hands tucked behind his back. He looked elegant and calm under the moonlight. “Xunuo, are you sure that you can kill me?”
“Try me. No matter what, it is over now,” An Xunuo said firmly in a cold voice as if she was trying to put out the unknown flame that was burning in her heart.
Her devilish figure flitted toward him, and soon, her hand was on his neck, choking him.
Ye Ningyuan, who was standing with his hands tucked behind him, didn’t avoid her until she was near. He clasped her wrists with one hand, and Xunuo tried to sweep him away with her legs. Ye Ningyuan let go of her and jumped a few steps away. His smile disappeared.
“Xunuo, although you are good at fighting, you are not my match.”
She was a rare prodigy and was gifted in martial arts. She was good at it but still not a match of his.
“Who gave you the confidence to say that?” An Xunuo stopped speaking and attacked him again. She attacked with her left hand and took off the whip on her waist with the other. She rotated the whip and shook it. The whip extended until it was five meters long, and she used the snake-like whip to attack Ye Ningyuan.
Strangling his neck…
He was extremely fast. After avoiding the hit, he grabbed the whip and pulled it. The two of them were at a stalemate. Ye Ningyuan frowned. He spun his body according to where the whip was coming and cut her wrist with the edge of a blade.
As if she had guessed his movements, she struck his chest with her palms. Her hands became numb and she had to switch her dominant hand. She shook her whip again and Ye Ningyuan leaped away. The whip was in her possession once again.
There were almost no pauses. She waved her whip and attacked once more. Every move of hers was tough and ruthless.
Not everyone could make use of a long whip as fast and powerful like she could. He had never seen anyone use a whip like a hard, sharp sword. If he was not careful, the whip could even pierce through his chest and take his life.
He knew that An Xunuo had skills, but he didn’t expect her to be so powerful.
“Xunuo, you are making me serious about this.” Ye Ningyuan’s voice sounded a little murderous. It had been a few years since he met such a strong opponent. It had been a while since he took a fight seriously too.
“Are you insulting me?” Why was he only saying that he would be serious about it now? Hmmph!
The two of them started fighting seriously. There were not many tricks used in the battle between two powerful people, but every move was fatal. Both An Xunuo and Ye Ningyuan had no mercy. Showing mercy to the opponent meant that they were seeking death.
After twenty rounds or so, Ye Ningyuan’s right sleeve was torn by the whip and a trail of bloodstain appeared. Ye Ningyuan had almost cracked An Xunuo’s left hand, and it was numb and paralyzed. She wouldn’t be able to use her hand to fight anymore.
It was the first time that the two of them gave all out in a fight. Because they were not familiar with each other’s habits or style, it was inevitable for them to suffer injuries. Ye Ningyuan glanced at the bloodstain on his right arm and smiled coldly. ‘Excellent.’
With a fierce gaze, he took the initiative to attack.
Xunuo had hurt her arm before, but it didn’t hinder her speed or movement. The two of them broke into a fight again and they exchanged moves at the speed of light. The fight ended with a whip strangling his neck.
“You lost.” Her tone was so calm that one could not sense her emotions. She wasn’t happy or elated about her win. She was merely stating a fact indifferently. Her gaze was silent.
Ye Ningyuan sneered. “I have lost?”
As if he had heard a joke, he raised his hands that he had been hiding and shook them. “You lost.”
An Xunuo was shocked. She touched her right ear and there was nothing. He swayed the ruby earring on his hand and the ruby flashed a ray of charming light under the moonlight. An Xunuo recalled the fight earlier on. She had absolutely no idea of when he had taken the earring away from her ear.
“I took it from you when you wrapped the whip around my neck. If my fingers were a little bit lower, I would have taken your life instead,” Ye Ningyuan said while shaking his head slightly. He miraculously escaped from her whip easily.
