Chapter 27: Summoned to the Imperial Palace
Nightmare also felt Xiangxue’s approaching. When he just wanted to turn around, he heard Bai Aoxue ’s calmly voice without a bit of panicky.
“Don’t worry about me. Concentrate on them.” Bai Aoxue looked at Xiangxue indifferently.
And these scene in Xiangxue’s view represented that Nightmare has gave up Bai Aoxue .
Xiangxue, feeling delightful secretly, ignored Bai Aoxue ’s cold and derisory gaze.
In this world, no one knew that once Bai Aoxue was like a wolf, a lone wolf. While people said that the wolves were the most united animal, Bai Aoxue has always been alone.
The wolves were focused on group attack and unity. Bai Aoxue was just the opposite. She was a lone wolf, who would never be soft-hearted, waiting for an opportunity to move.
It was the most atrocious practice of her to gnaw its bones, drink its blood, and eat its flesh.
Once she chose the prey, she would neither be merciful nor soft-hearted.
These were also what Bai Aoxue would do in this world.
Although she didn’t want to kill Xiangxue at the beginning, it became her intention now.
Quick move was her usual style. She wouldn’t use two moves if one can kill them.
Bai Aoxue strode forward to Xiangxue.
Although Xiangxue was surprised, she did not think too much, using five fingers as a claw to grab Bai Aoxue ’s neck.
Bai Aoxue looked at Xiangxue whose fingertips flashed red lights, knowing that they were dyed with poisons.
Bai Aoxue sneered and staggered forward, avoiding the attack of Xiangxue, her dagger quickly moved.
Xiangxue only saw a flash of silver beam in front of her eyes before she felt cool on neck.
In the same instant, Bai Aoxue moved back behind Nightmare, and proudly looked at stunned Xiangxue whose hand covered her neck.
Xiangxue’s eyes were rounded, filled with unwillingness. She was panic and agonized.
“Miss…” Xiangxue shouted Nightmare discontinuously.
She stretched forward with one hand and expected to grab something.
Bai Aoxue knew that what Xiangxue wanted to catch was her desire in the short life.
However, all of this was just an illusion. Not only did she not get anything, but also lost her life.
“Thub…” That was the sound of Xiangxue’s body falling to the ground.
Her blood spewed out like transient and beautiful firework, but no one appreciated it.
Nightmare felt unexpected and raised his eyebrows when he heard that sound. Although he knew Bai Aoxue could block enemies, he did not expect the speed to be so fast.
These killers also knew that if they wanted to attack Nightmare, they must start with Bai Aoxue . They were not nice people with morality and justice.
Thinking of this, there were several killers covered by their companions quickly moved towards Bai Aoxue when Nightmare didn’t notice.
Looked at those killer who came for her, Bai Aoxue was shocked but didn’t panic.
She also guessed the intentions of those killers. Bai Aoxue snorted,and clenched the dagger in her hand.
Nightmare also found that these killers were able to take advantage of due to his negligence.
A thrilling beam flashed across his eyes, Nightmare began to take this group of killer seriously instead of playing tricks.
Nightmare and Bai Aoxue have been encircled while the number of killers has begun to drop sharply. Bai Aoxue knew that Nightmare was angry.
“Nightmare, move quickly and resolve quickly. It’s no good for both of us if I get hurt!” Bai Aoxue reflexively escaped an attack and said faintly.
Nightmare also knew the meaning of Bai Aoxue ’s words.
“Don’t worry. How can I let the people who is protected by me get hurt!” His laughter was full of convincing power.
After listening to the words of Nightmare, Bai Aoxue did not say too much.
It is because that Bai Aoxue has been provoked by these killers right now.
Bai Aoxue has always known that the killers in this ancient era were different from those in the 21st century.
Although they had all experienced a.s.sa.s.sination training, since they didn’t have thermal weapon here, the killer here must have been trained since childhood compared with preceding world.
Bai Aoxue no longer hesitated,and leaped to the air, the bagger in her hand flashed away.
“Bang!” The sound of the weapons colliding together covered the original silent canopy a hint of mystery.
The killer looked at Bai Aoxue surprisingly. Apparently, he did not expect that Bai Aoxue could resist him.
However, Bai Aoxue did not give him too much time. She turned around and stabbed at that killer when he was absentminded.
But the killer of the In-blood Tower wouldn’t be so weak; he escaped the attack of Bai Aoxue at the most urgent moment.
No longer in a trance, that killer held the sword and quickly moved towards Bai Aoxue .
Bai Aoxue found him steer by but stilled be scratched on clothes, becoming even more bloodthirsty.
No longer avoiding, Bai Aoxue moved to his face.
Bloodthirsty and excite in his eyes suddenly completely disappeared in the next moment.
He was also terrified since he has never seen such a strange and ghostly move.
Bai Aoxue knew that she was disparity with the power of these killers. But as a qualified killer, even if the enemy was strong, she wouldn’t withdraw. On the contrary, it would stimulate her to be militant.
Looking at the panic killer who found her disappearance, Bai Aoxue disdainfully laughed, and slammed the dagger in her hand into the chest of the killer.
The killer only saw a flash of thrilling beam in front of him. When he just wanted to escape, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He bowed unbelievably, only to see the left handle of a dagger and a delicate tender hand holding that handle.
The killer raised his head slightly, seeing a pair of beautiful, cold and bloodthirsty eyes.
Bai Aoxue looked at the killer indifferently: “The killer of the Ink-blood Tower, that’s all about you. Now I am not as strong as one tenth of my original power. If it was in the past, do you think you still have chance to fight with me? Humph!”
When Bai Aoxue finished her words, she released that dagger, only to see that a.s.sa.s.sin fell to the ground with doubts and unwillingness.
Although Bai Aoxue ’s voice was not too loud, she was still heard by Nightmare. Nightmare was puzzled while he didn’t stop move.
Nightmare turned around and looked at Bai Aoxue until he handled all the killers.
Only to see Bai Aoxue looked at him indifferently: “It seems very dangerous to be with you. Since I cherish my life very much, I hope there won’t be a second time.”
After that, she stepped on the dead body of that killer and bent down to pull out her dagger.
Nightmare, looking at Bai Aoxue ’s disharmonious action, choked with laughter.
She looked like a child who was playing games.
However, Nightmare knew that although Bai Aoxue was pet.i.te and tender, it didn’t mean that she had no power. Killing an a.s.sa.s.sin of the Ink-blood Tower by herself was not something an ordinary people can do.
However, Bai Aoxue killed an a.s.sa.s.sin in a short period of time without being hurt. Such a skilled killing technique didn’t seem can be equipped by a young lady.
In addition to destroying Bai Qiwei , she had no other purposes, which made Nightmare feel strange. Bai Aoxue may be the first person who can’t be seen through by him.
Bai Aoxue looked at Nightmare and figured out what he was thinking.
“You don’t have to suspect me. Since I have already decided to cooperate with you, I will not betray you. Besides, I will not be interested in your past, present and future. You don’t need to conjecture about me.”
Nightmare raised up his brow, feeling Bai Aoxue more unpredictable.
“How do you know that I would suspect you?” Nightmare stared at Bai Aoxue with his burning gaze.
Bai Aoxue wiped the dagger in her hand: “You are way overthinking this. This is the case today.”
Nightmare looked at Bai Aoxue who turned away without a bit of nostalgia, becoming more and more interested in her.
And Bai Aoxue did not intend to talk to Nightmare too much, who was too mysterious and contained great danger.
But since she has already put a stake, she must win this game.
She just hoped that Nightmare would not disappoint her.
Bai Aoxue has noticed that after killing so many a.s.sa.s.sins, Nightmare still breathed stably with no trace of confusion. Bai Aoxue knew that he didn’t use of his strength to the fullest.
Moreover, those killers were died from a single blow. Like the first one, they were killed by sharp bamboo leaves at necks.
She used to kill people like this but by poker card which was harder than bamboo leaves. She needed to pay special attention to speed and strength even with those tools.
However, Nightmare could use soft bamboo leaves to kill people, which forced Bai Aoxue to revalue her collaborator. Moreover, she would marry him as 5th princes.
Leaving 5th prince’s mansion, it was already louder outside. Bai Aoxue knew that she has wasted some time in there.
Thinking of Mumian would mention Xiangxue, Bai Aoxue got annoyed.
She stealthily went back to Prime Minister’s mansion. In the dead of the night, guards also relaxed a lot.
Bai Aoxue easily returned to her yard. After a simple freshening-up, she went to bed.
Tonight’s fierce battle indeed exhausted Bai Aoxue .
When Bai Aoxue was still asleep, there was a knocking sound coming over.
“Miss! Miss! Don’t sleep! Get up! Something huge has happened!!” Mumian’s anxious voice sounded outside the door.
Bai Aoxue opened her sleepy eyes, only to find that it was already in the morning.
“Miss, I am coming in. Get up!” Mumian said and pushed the door.
Mumian found that Bai Aoxue was still sleeping when she came in. She stepped forward hurriedly and pulled Bai Aoxue from the quilt.
“Miss, don’t sleep! Something huge has happened!” Mumian said anxiously and urgently.
“Mumian, what’s the matter? Let’s talk about it after I wake up.” Bai Aoxue said vaguely.
After listening to Bai Aoxue ’s words, Mumian was exasperated: “Our funeral is coming when you wake up!”
When Bai Aoxue listened to Mumian, she jumped out of bed like a carp.
Her hands rubbed her eyes slightly: “Mumian, what’s the matter? I’ll kill who dare bother me sleeping!”
When Mumian was just about to speak after hearing Bai Aoxue , she heard the voice she disliked.
“Hey, my sister, what time is it? Why are you still sleeping? Eunuch Zhao has been waiting for you for a long time.” That person did not show up while the voice arrived first.
Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Bai Suxue , and looked at the Mumian in confusion, waiting for her explanation.
“Miss, in this morning, Eunuch Zhao was coming from the imperial palace. You are summoned by His Majesty.” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue and immediately solved her problem.
“His Majesty? Why should I go to the imperial palace?” Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian wonderingly.
Bai Suxue , who just entered the room, detested Bai Aoxue after listening to her words. She thought that Bai Aoxue was deliberately showing off in front of her.
“Congratulations to you, my sister. Going to the Palace is of course asked by Emperor.” Bai Suxue smirked.
“What did he want from me? Ask for trouble!” n.o.body knew that Bai Aoxue actually was grumpy when she got up. The only one that knew this was the puppy that Bai Aoxue kept in preceding world.
When Bai Suxue heard Bai Aoxue , she was extremely angry. However, she knew that she was too weak to fight against Bai Aoxue right now.
Resisting the resentment towards Bai Aoxue , Bai Suxue said: “His majesty is going to grant you a marriage with the 5th prince. By the way, Eunuch Zhao said that 5th prince was also summoned.”
“Congratulations to my sister. Hhh, you’re going to be a princess.” Yet in the next breath, Bai Suxue seemed to be happy for Bai Aoxue .
In fact, what Bai Suxue desired to see was Bai Aoxue ’s desperate expression.
