Chapter 30 My Sister Was Back?The man in white was choked by the words but had no word for reb.u.t.tal. Although he was at a disadvantage, he had to admit the fact that Ronghua had trounced them without using her spiritual power. If he could get her power, it would be hopeful for him to avenge himself.
Ronghua peered at him, who was standing there and pondering, unaware that she had perceived his intention. “Was he planning to take advantage of me again?” Ronghua thought.
Then she decided to tease him, so she spoke first, “If you became my subordinate, I would consider instructing you.”
Gazing at her, he frowned and guessed what she meant, and even forgot to reply. She mentioned subordinate. Did this imply that she wanted…
Ronghua waited for a while and did not get his response, so she lifted an eyebrow to express her impatience and turned to leave. But a blade chopped to her as she moved. She bent back promptly to elude the sudden attack easily, and the blade failed to hit her. Then their weapons stroke twice, and she succeeded in widening the distance between them. A confrontation was about to start, but the atmosphere seemed strange.
With a glimpse, she figured out that the attackers were monsters who were able to transform into a human shape. It seemed that their cultivation was fairly high since the demon power they spread out was quite strong. However, it was hard to present their true capacity and the corresponding lethality in this place.
“Who are you?” Ronghua determined to figure out the reason first.
That man didn"t reply. Ronghua stared at him while he still did not tend to answer. It might not end well this time, for both sides were ready to kill.
Then, both men rushed towards Ronghua again and attacked fatally, so Ronghua realized that their only mission was to kill.
One"s voice was cold like ice, “As Lady Yunji commanded, we came for killing you.”
Then he restarted his attack, and the blade cut to her smoothly, while another a.s.saulted from her back.
The man in white saw the strike behind, so he shouted to warn her, “Be careful!”
He barreled to her back, pushed Ronghua away vigorously, and then held his fan to withstood that blade. When Ronghua got the chance to look back, she found "he was not hurt.
It was out of her expectation that his delicate fan had the strength against the demon power. The previous attack must have made use of the demon power, but his fan was not damaged. It was more useful than it looked.
Yet Ronghua did not need any protection, so she yelled, “You"d better protect yourself. I can deal with them by myself.”
The man in white retorted, “I"m just afraid that there"s no one who could teach me if you died.” He believed that she had high cultivation, because the method she used on the young duke indicated her expertise, and only a few people noticed her movements. He knew most of the superiors living on this continent, but she was the only one who"s strong but much younger, so either he was so ignorant, or she was not an ordinary human.
Moreover, she"s the one whom Yunji dispatched her monsters to kill instead of catching, which also proved her special ident.i.ty.
Ronghua was a little speechless. She said that as a joke, while he took it seriously, so she had to clarify.
“I was joking! I won"t take you as my follower. Besides, my skills are not utile to you. They can"t be used here.”
“Don"t joke! You should keep your words!” He was flurried for her refusal and unwilling to accept it. He had a clear understanding of the current situation now. Her bold words implied that she must have exceptional competence and mysterious background, which could make Lady Yunji scruple to destroy her. If he could learn from such a person, he would definitely be reinforced.
“Well, how about this? I help you repel them, and you teach me some skills in return. Is this a better trade?” The man in white compromised.
Ronghua defeated one and snorted, “No. I don"t need that.”
She went forward in an awe-inspiring way and opened the fan in her hand. Others felt strange about her actions. Then they saw she made a gust of wind with the fan, which was incredibly powerful.
“Oh my G.o.d! What the h.e.l.l is this woman"s cultivation?”
The man in white gazed at the place where the wind had blown in astonishment. It was such a mess! Then Ronghua continued her fight. The fan transformed into a long sword, and the monster was repressed soon.
The man in white was completely speechless now. She must have pretended to be powerless! However, he forgot that he faced the attack actively. She did not move and ask for help at all.
Ronghua folded her fan and looked down on the man in black who knelt. He looked up at her with angry and b.l.o.o.d.y eyes. He was Master Shuxue, one of the top ten monsters, subordinating to Lady Yunji, that could have the human shapes. He even came with another monster accompanied, but still could not kill this woman as commanded. What"s worse, he could not even resist her fan. How could she be so powerful?
The intelligencer had said her cultivation was not high, and she just lived on that man. It was totally the contrary! He suddenly realized that something was wrong, “You"re not Fengyu, right?”
Ronghua squinted at him with confusion, “Who is Fengyu? Why is her life claimed?”
The truth was terribly embarra.s.sing and frustrating. They eventually noticed that they found the wrong one to kill. How could she be so similar to that woman? It was more shameful that they were defeated than mistaking the target. But her smell, age, and figure were all akin to "Fengyu. Was this even possible?
“Even if you are not her, you must know her.” He panted.
Ronghua pondered for a while, “Do we have a similar smell? Besides, how about the appearance of her, compared with mine? Where is she?”
But that monster refused to answer again. Ronghua shrugged for the silence.
“Well, why can"t you be more obedient?”
“I want some information in your head. It seems that you two have met my younger sister, and that"s why you come to me. But I won"t let you go back to report to your Lady Yunji, in case of bringing me more troubles.”
Then he felt a cold wind blowing at him. This woman was harder to deal with than she looked.
Ronghua squeezed his neck and forced him to look into her eyes, so he knew what she was going to do and attempted to resist. However, the harder he struggled, the fainter he became. Finally, he lost his mind and got controlled.
The man in white was dumbfounded behind her. What the h.e.l.l? It was already terrifying that she was strong enough to stifle them, and now it turned out that she could enchant people as well. She was not the one to put on the opposite side. Luckily, he had not made a provocation.
He heard that this killer was also a ruthless one under Yunji"s command, but he lost soon under Ronghua"s attack. This proved her cultivation once more.
Ronghua found all the attempts she made just now was so easy to succeed. In her view, they were too talentless. The so-called Lady Yunji might be able to dominate only on this continent.
The man in black, who tried to kill her just now, stood up and was respectful now, “My master.”
Ronghua asked, “You are Yunji"s follower, so do you know who Fengyu is? Why does Yunji want to kill her? In addition, what"s the familiar smell that made you mistaken us?” Her eyes were cold. She hoped it would not like what she guessed.
“Fengyu is the wife of the man to whom Lady Yunji"s obsessed. Lady Yunji plans to take him as her gigolo, but he loves Fengyu, and she"s already pregnant, so Lady Yunji thought she"s a threat. If she were dead, Lady Yunji might get that man.”
The man in white was inspired by his answer and came forward.
“Oh, I know this! Lady Yunji doesn"t like that man but likes his face. It"s said that his corporeity has a specialty as well. Your cultivation can be improved through copulating with him!” Cultivating via copulation "was what he had dreamed of in the past! He even imagined about it after he said.
Ronghua glowered back at him, and he shut up for fear at once.
Ronghua became gloomy, but the man in black was still speaking. He added that Lady Yunji had even poisoned that man to get him, and had made much misunderstanding between the couple several times, which nearly led that woman to death.
Bai Zi examined Ronghua"s expression. He thought she was just pretending to be angry at the beginning, but she was indeed in a fury right now. Her hands clutched to fists, shivering. Her breath was heavier than usual, and her face was gloomy like dark clouds. She seemed to restrain her anger fiercely to keep listening. Gradually, Bai Zi felt strange, “Why was she so annoyed? Did Fengyu have any connection to her?”
They had similar smells, appearances, and ages. Might that woman be her sister?
Thinking of that, Bai Zi retreated quietly, feeling that the cold air was gathering here. He feared that he would be involved in the outburst of her.
Indeed, Ronghua was in rage now, “Is that man"s name Linshang?”
The man was a puppet when he was enchanted, and he would answer all the questions he knew honestly, “Yes!”
Ronghua had no mood to vent her anger now and turned to another puppet monster, which was a little bit restless because of being enchanted by two people at the same time. It also made his mind messy. Ronghua had no patience for his anxiety and confusion, so she chose the rudest way, searching his soul.
Searching one"s soul meant that the executors directly extracted other"s souls to read the mind and find the hidden memories they want.
In fact, this measure violated natural laws, and Ronghua scarcely used it. But what they had done to Fengyu had let her sanity go. Her sister did not have high cultivation. Hence, she had the impulsion to find her and protect her when she heard what her sister was going through. However, it was not the right time. Her sister"s G.o.d"s test had not ended yet. Her destiny would change if she went to her in advance, and she might not control the unforeseen events.
Bai Zi interrupted her thoughts and warned her, “You won"t read anything in his memory, miss.”
Ronghua looked back with scary expressions, “Why?”
He was frightened a little by her look. He had never seen that kind of face on her before. If he had looked down on her, he would be the same as those monsters at present.
Bai Zi realized her eyes were turning red, and she might kill them at any moment. He buried his fear and answered warily, “That puppet monster obeyed to Lady Yunji directly, and she must have used some arcane methods to secure her control on them, so I don"t believe you can get any information from him, and there"s no need to search the soul, in case you get backfire and injured. Don"t you think so?”
b.l.o.o.d.y red shallowed in Ronghua"s eyes, and she was calm enough to consider. She threw the humanoid monsters away, turning her back on Bai Zi. After a while, she turned back, and Baizi saw her eyes were normal now. She wore the comforting smile again, which evoked Bai Zi"s stronger desire to escape.
Who was he facing right now? This woman was as horrifying as an evil demon.
Her peaceful appearance might be her mask to cover her cruelty!
Then he felt something suddenly broke into his mind. Before he could defend, he was. .h.i.t and became dizzy. He felt his soul seemed to be freed from the body in a trance, and his body fell to the ground abruptly.
