Chapter 163 The Seed of Thrill
Yu Nian climbed up from Chunyu Han's side and wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth.
The marks on the surface are easy to wipe away, but the stirrings in one's heart have planted a seed deep within.
"I'm sorry, I was just too nervous."
Yu Nian lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip tightly.
When Chunyu Han woke up, Yu Nian felt she should be expectant and happy, but the emotions that had just filled her mind were all trembling.
She suddenly became very scared.
She was afraid of Chunyu Han questioning her, and even more afraid of seeing the suspicion or bone-chilling indifference in Chunyu Han's eyes.
[You silly child, you shouldn't be so nervous! You're just wasting your medicine!]
The sixth brother smacked his lips silently, sensing Yu Nian's emotional fluctuations.
Yu Nian could have done things differently. Just like when she first met Chunyu Han, she could have easily fooled him. It was because she cared too much that she couldn't even open her mouth when she hadn't thought things through.
Considering that this girl has little experience in dating, Lao Liu decided to forgive her this time, but there are some things she still needs to break through herself.
"I know I was wrong..."
Yu Nian took a deep breath to calm herself down, turned around, and gave Chunyu Han a slight bow, looking a little awkward.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry. Next time I'll stab myself. I'll talk to you properly after we leave here."
The immediate challenge is to get out of this predicament.
Yu Nian released the truffle from the space, tied a simple sled with wood to support Chunyu Han, and then put it on the truffle.
After her hand was pricked by splinters countless times, Yu Nian felt that she was being punished by God for her impulsiveness in pricking Chunyu Han unconscious.
Otherwise, Yu Nian wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.
"Truffle, I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Yu Nian placed the sleeping tiger cub in the satchel on the truffle's saddle and stuffed a handful of hay into the truffle's saddlebag to feed it.
I've heard of dog sleds, but I've never seen a horse-drawn sleigh, especially one as precious as Truffle. Doing this is really beneath my dignity.
The truffle snorted and then the group, "with their families in tow," headed down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, a white shadow could always be seen faintly ahead.
That's the White Tiger, guiding Yu Nian.
Otherwise, with Yu Nian's poor sense of direction, getting down the mountain smoothly would be a problem.
Just as they reached the crossroads leading down the mountain, the white tiger let out a long roar as its final farewell.
Yu Nian turned around and waved to the woods.
Once we get to the main road, things will be much more convenient. When we pass by a farmhouse later, we might be able to switch from the sled to a cart.
Yu Nian's somewhat depressed mood improved, but after taking only a few steps, she found that Truffle was standing still in the same spot.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Nian turned to look at the truffles, and a group of people quickly emerged from the woods, all of them masked and armed.
The two leaders were wearing demon masks, making them look ferocious and terrifying.
Yu Nian: "..."
Is this ever going to end? Chunyu Han's life is just too miserable.
"No wonder we brothers searched the whole mountain forest and couldn't find him. It turns out there was someone who was there to help this castrated dog."
The man in black wearing a demon mask stepped forward and swung out a nine-section whip.
"I think this young lady is quite pretty. How about I leave her alive so I can have some fun with her?"
The man behind him, seeing that Chunyu Han was still unconscious, relaxed his guard. There was only one woman left. If they, a dozen or so men, couldn't subdue her, they might as well give up their lives in the martial arts world.
"Heh, whatever you want, but remember the orders from above: kill them when you're done playing with them."
In these people's eyes, Yu Nian was like a lamb to the slaughter.
"Stop right there! Do you know who I am? How dare you act so disrespectfully in front of me?"
Yu Nian loosened the reins and shouted at the pack of vicious dogs that were about to pounce on their prey.
He took the opportunity to pop a pill into his mouth.
"Hehe, little lady, no matter who you are, you're doomed today. Don't make any more futile struggles."
Yu Nian drew her sword and held it in her hand, feeling the effects of the medicine taking hold.
She swallowed the War God Pill that her sixth brother had given her, which she treasured. It was said that after taking this pill, one could easily take on ten men. She wondered if it could help Yu Nian get through this ordeal.
The nine-section whip whistled through the air, heading straight for Yu Nian's neck.
Unexpectedly, Yu Nian raised her longsword and blocked the man's attack.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the young lady to have some skills."
He wouldn't mind his dying prey struggling a bit.
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Nian appeared in a flash, her long sword slashing down, nearly severing his arm.
Even though he dodged in time, he was still stabbed.
Damn it, he was the third-ranked assassin in the Blood Shadow Pavilion, and very few people could get close to him. He never expected that this seemingly gentle and weak young woman would have such explosive power.
Who are you?
The man behind him finally took it seriously. This mission could not afford to fail, and they could no longer underestimate their enemy.
Yu Nian flicked her longsword, creating a beautiful sword flower, and spoke in a clear and melodious voice.
"I am the God of War."
The man in black sneered, "Today, whether you're a god or a ghost, you're doomed."
"Everyone, attack together! Whoever takes Chunyu Han's head will be richly rewarded by the employer."
At the black man's command, the group charged towards Yu Nian and Chunyu Han as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
This War God Pill is indeed like having a cheat code, but Yu Nian is still somewhat overwhelmed while protecting Chunyu Han and fighting the enemy.
This was the first time in Yu Nian's life that he had hurt someone. It was bloody and violent, but Yu Nian did not hold back because this was an era where if you didn't hurt others, others would hurt you.
After a fierce battle, only two men in black wearing demon masks remained of the group and were still able to fight.
Yu Nian's appearance instilled a sense of crisis in them. They hadn't expected this woman to be so troublesome. If all else failed, they would have to take Chunyu Han's life first, which would also give them an explanation.
The two exchanged a glance and began to attack Yu Nian from both sides.
No matter how hard Yu Nian tried, she couldn't split herself in two. As the other person's nine-section whip approached Chunyu Han, Yu Nian was unable to defend him.
In the blink of an eye, a goose-feather dagger descended from the sky.
"Bold assassin!"
Yu Nian looked up at the sound and saw Cang Hai leading the Imperial Guards, riding at full speed towards them.
Great, Yu Nian finally made it.
"Damn it! It's the Imperial Guards! They outnumber us and have the upper hand. We need to get out of here!"
The two were assassins from the Blood Shadow Pavilion, their bodies covered in blood. If they fell into the hands of the Golden Guard, they would be in serious trouble.
Yu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cang Hai.
"Sixth Brother, your War God Pill really lived up to its name, it's truly miraculous."
"Ahem, of course."
What Lao Liu didn't tell Yu Nian was that just as enjoyable this thing was to use, the side effects were just as severe...
