Wu Yue considered herself to have fair skin, but she never expected the person before her to be even more so, surpassing even the finest jade white. Thus, this creamy white skin made the surrounding crimson hues appear alluring and stunning. This person's appearance was exquisite, yet carried a touch of aloof elegance. He lay on his side among the grass, his color exceptional, looking both alluring and awe-inspiring, yet too breathtaking to be defiled.
The girl stood still and stared at the other person rather rudely.
Some of his doubts were answered, and he was about to step forward to ask when a sharp arrow with a talisman stuck in it shot out from afar. The arrow pierced the air with unstoppable force, and at close range, it gave him no chance to dodge.
Wu Yue turned her head slightly; in her eyes, the arrow seemed to slow down. If she dodged, the arrow would inevitably hit the person in the grass. Oh well.
Wu Yue stretched out her hand, her palm enveloped in spiritual energy, and grasped the rapidly approaching arrow. As she held it, she could faintly hear the whooshing sound of the arrow.
Immediately afterwards, a slightly deep voice was heard: "It's you! I was just looking for you, and you've come all this way!"
"..."
Wu Yue looked up and, thankfully, had a good memory, quickly matching the people she recognized in the venue with the man in front of her.
Xu Shaoxuan, the one from the Xu family.
She hadn't forgotten that the explosion in the taxi she was in with Qian Bolun was orchestrated by the Xu family. Since the visitor was clearly hostile, Wu Yue naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.
"Very good!" Xu Shaoxuan raised his specially made bow and arrow again, aiming at Wu Yue. His dark eyes narrowed, concealing the cold glint in them. "In the Yuanque Secret Realm, life and death are irrelevant. If you die, no one will know that I killed you. After dealing with you, go and capture that piece of trash in the bushes."
"..."
Having traveled the world and seen at least three thousand faces, Wu Yue was not angered by such words.
She glanced at Xu Shaoxuan. The Wu family had fallen on hard times; she was unaware of the Xu family or even him—she'd never met him or had any contact with him. The only thing that vaguely connected her to him was her face…
Wu Yue looked at him indifferently: "Oh? It seems you and Su Xingning are on good terms, so you're standing up for her?"
"So what if it is? You must die!" Even though his heart softened slightly when he saw that face, the thought of Su Xingning lying unconscious and in pain only intensified Xu Shaoxuan's hatred for Wu Yue. He tightened the bowstring in his hand, ready to fire.
"Thump!"
The arrow flew out, accompanied by the deadly Five Thunder Talisman.
This Five Thunder Talisman is of extremely high quality. There are only three in the entire Xu family, and Xu Shaoxuan only has this one. It was given to him by his father, the head of the Xu family, for self-defense.
Having read the records of contemporary feng shui masters, Wu Yue also knew the value and power of the Five Thunder Talisman. Xu Shaoxuan's desire for her death was blatantly obvious.
With the time to complete the task fast approaching, she lost all interest in playing around with him and just wanted to finish quickly.
Before Wu Yue could even gather her spiritual power, a blood-stained figure blocked her way. The blood-stained white shirt was made of silk, and it fluttered like a butterfly in the wind.
"Do not harm my lord!"
This sentence, though soft and gentle in tone, was resounding and powerful.
Wu Yue admitted that she was touched by being protected, but Big Brother, you're so badly injured, are you really okay to still be standing in front of me?
In fact, Wu Yue noticed this handsome young man only because she sensed the aura of a mythical beast from the mountains and seas, similar to that of the Lu Shu's group of beast cubs, and not for any other reason.
The handsome young man's heroic spirit deserves praise, but his frail body and increasingly strong, fresh scent of blood suggest he won't last much longer.
"So you're all in cahoots," Xu Shaoxuan sneered. "Perfect, we can deal with you all at once and avoid having to do it in batches."
Wu Yue: "..."
The girl paused, walked past the hot-blooded boy, and slowly strolled to the front.
