Chapter 250: An Accident on the Lake (2)
“Yes!” As soon as the woman took the order, the canoe dashed towards that voice.
“Help… Help…” The holler got louder and louder when Cang Ying was approaching. She pushed aside the dense lotus leaves to look ahead, and found a normal-sized boat and a couple on it, whose hands were tied behind their backs to the pillar.
“How dare you run away…” a brutal, ugly hulk yelled when he whipped them fiercely.
“Please let us go!” the lady begged tearfully and couldn’t look more miserable: her shabby clothes were saturated by the fresh blood from the gashes caused by the tangled whippings on her fair skin.
“Not a chance!” the man said viciously. The moment he whipped the lady again, she rent the air with anguish, “Ah!”
How dare this demon kidnap and bully an affectionate couple even in the day time? That was an awful and lawless deed. Aha, here came the chance for Cang Ying to take up the cudgel for the couple!
Thinking about that, Cang Ying put on a smug smile. Tapping the ground with the tip of her toe, she flew into the air. She hit the man fiercely with the paddle as she yelled, “You monster, take this.”
Cang Ying seized the chance to hit the man on the forehead. Bang! He was dazzled and had to keep his feet by staggering back. Blood trickled down his face slowly from the gash on the forehead…
As soon as a dozen of villains in gray shabby clothes suddenly rushed into the empty boat, they immediately supported the man and asked anxiously, “Boss… Are you alright?”
Pressing the gash, the man carefully looked up at Cang Ying. With bloodshot eyes, he yelled, “How dare you hit me…”
“You’re arrogant, unruly and violent. You deserve that!” Cang Ying stood on the bow and stared at him, with her chip up and an arrogant look in her eyes.
“Good.” The ugly man was too mad at Cang Ying to say anything else. He pointed at Cang and yelled in rage, “So you’re with them. Go get her!”
“Yes!” the villains took the order and came at her fiercely.
Getting her? That was definitely beyond their depth!
Cang Ying put on a disdainful smile and wielded the paddle rapidly. The villains close to her were all knocked down with a smack, yelling in anguish…
How useless they were!
Cang Ying snorted, feeling ashamed for them. She then picked up the broadsword, neatly cut the rope tying the couple, and said proudly, “Get out of here. I got this.”
The pale couple, with blood stains all over, took a peek at the ugly man with fear before expressing their grat.i.tude, “Thank you, miss.” They then dived into the lake with a splash.
Ripples quivered across the surface of the lake after the couple disappeared into the water. At the sight of that, the ugly man turned horribly sullen and his eyes blazed with fury. He shouted, glowering at Cang Ying, “Go get her! Beat her up!”
“Yes!” the villains responded in deep voices. They grabbed up whatever weapons scattering over the floor and came at Cang Ying with no mercy.
Only armed with a paddle, Cang Ying could no longer resist or hit back under the villains’ constant attack. When her arms and legs were hit, she endured the sharp pain, gritting her teeth: how dare those barbarians. .h.i.t her heedless of consequences…
All of a sudden, Cang Ying was heavily hit by a paddle on the arm. The pain was so intense that she dropped her paddle on the floor…
At the sight of that, the villains’ faces lit up, and they started hitting her mercilessly with all kinds of weapons, which they wielded fast enough to generate airflow.
“Help…” Cang Ying shouted in a strange way. Leaping into the air, she jumped back to her canoe hastily and urged, “Go, go, go…”
“Yes!” The middle-age woman was also terrified by the number and fierceness of the villains. She rowed backwards rapidly to escape.
The ugly man steered the boat, chasing them with the villains. His eyes blazed with fury and he couldn’t wait to devour Cang Ying alive. “Whoever gets her will be rewarded!”
“Yes!” the villains replied in deep voices as they leaped towards Cang Ying’s canoe. Seeing them almost landing on the canoe, Cang panicked, grabbed the woman and threw her fiercely at them…
Before the st.u.r.dy body fell on them, the villains avoided her swiftly with a touch of disgust in their eyes…
Cang Ying seized this chance to pick up the paddle and rowed forcefully. The canoe sailed unsteadily ahead through the lotus clump…
But it was impossible for her to get away because the boat was approaching rapidly. She freaked out and shouted in panic, “Help… Help…”
“Stop there… Don’t run…”
The noise came to Murong Xue and gave her a confused frown: what was happening?
Murong Xue put down the pink flower onto the flower piles, and rowed slowly out of the clump. Unfortunately, another canoe b.u.mped against hers heavily from the side at the entrance of the clump…
Murong Xue’s canoe was pushed several meters away with a loud noise, and it almost rolled over. She struggled to keep the balance and prevent herself from falling into the lake…
Who was this careless guy?
Murong Xue’s pretty face instantly turned sullen. She looked up angrily while Cang Ying, standing on the other canoe, looked down at her condescendingly. Cang was surprised and said, “Murong Xue, why are you here…”
Murong Xue said, glowering at her, “Who else would it be…”
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, there’s no way to hide!” There suddenly came a fierce shout the moment Cang Ying opened her mouth and was about to say something.
The shout gave Cang Ying a start. She turned round and saw the man approaching her with his henchmen. The man looked down at her condescendingly on the deck, whose piercing gaze sent a chill down her spine.
She jumped onto the back of Murong’s canoe. She curled herself up like an ostrich, with only her eyes able to be seen, and shouted in a pathetic voice, “Murong Xue, help me!”
Frowning tightly, Murong Xue tried to pull Cang Ying out to the front by grabbing her by the arm, but she failed, for Cang was almost stuck to her back.
Murong Xue turned round and asked, looking at her indifferently, “What have you done again…”
