The assassin chose a very clever time. Yun Yuqing was in a critical period of spiritual and physical unity, and her mind went blank for a moment. Although she knew that danger was approaching, she was trembling all over during that brief moment and could not react effectively at all.
The assassin clearly knew that she was the biggest threat in the room, so he seized this golden opportunity to stab her in the back. The force of the stab was enough to string the two of them together like a skewer of candied hawthorns.
Yun Yuqing had her back to the assassin, unable to dodge, but Zu An could see it all clearly.
In the nick of time, he quickly grabbed her and moved to a different position, turning his back to the assassin's sword.
Pfft!
The assassin's sword pierced his body without any doubt, and even a small section of the sword tip protruded from his chest and struck Yun Yuqing.
Her snow-white skin was instantly stained red with blood, it was hard to tell whether it was Zuan's blood or her own.
The assassin was taken aback. Clearly, the opponent's physical strength had exceeded his expectations. He had anticipated that this sword strike would be enough to pierce the two of them together, but it had only barely pierced one person's body.
Yun Yuqing finally reacted, and with a flick of her hand, a sharp palm strike was delivered to the other person's chest.
The assassin was clearly surprised by her skill level and hastily retreated, thus avoiding a fatal blow.
Yun Yuqing hurriedly reached out and draped the clothes over her again. This brief exchange, which happened in the blink of an eye, had left her trembling uncontrollably. She could only hold onto Zu An tightly, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, afraid of making any shameful noise.
The assassin did not attack immediately. The brief exchange had made him aware of the Princess Wu's prowess, and he dared not act rashly.
His eyes leered as he glanced at her snow-white thighs and slender arms, which were exposed due to the hastily wrapped clothes. The beautiful sight he had just seen flashed through his mind—because the two were tightly embracing, he could only see their backs, but it was enough to make his blood boil.
"Night Elf? Who sent you!" Yun Yuqing recognized the assassin's race from his features. She was initially scrutinizing him coldly, but because she was still tightly embracing Zaun, she hadn't fully recovered from the trembling she had just experienced, and her voice inevitably carried a hint of seductiveness.
The assassin did not answer her question, but instead said mockingly, "Everyone praises the Queen Consort of Wu as being as beautiful as a fairy, noble and pure. Seeing her today, it is true that she is as beautiful as a fairy, but as for her nobility and purity..."
He paused deliberately as he spoke, his eyes darting back and forth between the two women, clicking his tongue as he said, "Tsk tsk tsk, truly a noblewoman in public, a wanton woman in private. But no wonder, this guy's body structure is so tough, even my sword almost couldn't pierce it, so other parts must be the same, no wonder she can make the princess so infatuated."
"Shameless!" Yun Yuqing was furious and subconsciously got up to kill the other party, but as soon as she moved, she trembled, her brows furrowed instantly, and she sat back down.
The assassin seized the fleeting opening, leaving a blur before vanishing completely, leaving no trace. Yet, his unrestrained laughter echoed through the room: "Hahaha, you did such a thing behind your husband's back, who's more shameless, me or you!"
Clearly, he wanted to use such words to provoke the other party into a state of mental confusion, so that he could find a weakness.
Unfortunately, Yun Yuqing was not affected at all, because she did not hide what happened from her husband today. In the end, it was her husband who forced her to come, so she felt no guilt whatsoever.
Suddenly, a purple light bloomed in the room, and a pair of beautiful, enormous eyes appeared in mid-air.
The night elf's originally transparent and invisible voice was now completely exposed in this purple world, and he was horrified: "The Eye of the Demon!"
He reacted quickly, closing his eyes in that instant, but unfortunately it was a little too late. Affected by the Eye of the Heavenly Demon, his figure paused.
Just then, a purple beam of light shot out, and his hair stood on end. In that instant, he could feel the fear of death.
No longer caring about holding back, his entire body was enveloped in clusters of black shadows, and at the critical moment, he managed to break free from the control of the Heavenly Demon Eye and avoid vital points.
However, he still couldn't completely dodge it. His body was struck by the purple light, and a bloody hole immediately appeared.
He was terrified, realizing that the usually delicate and frail Princess Wu was far more powerful than he had expected. He dared not linger any longer and summoned a passage that resembled a black mirror beside him, rushing inside.
Although the assassination attempt failed today, we learned of such a huge scandal involving Princess Wu, and that she is actually a demon. Either way, it's explosive news that could bring countless benefits to the person behind me.
Yun Yuqing was also aware of this, and she absolutely could not allow today's events to be exposed, so she immediately launched a deadly attack.
But to my surprise, the opponent managed to dodge that sure-fire strike. Now the opponent has activated Night Travel. The reason why the Night Elves are so good at assassination is largely because they have this secret technique, which allows them to come and go without a trace.
Now that most of his body is inside, there's no way to stop him.
The thought of the other party spreading what she had seen today made her face turn pale; if that happened, she would be doomed.
At this moment, the night elf turned around and glanced back. Clearly, Yun Yuqing's beauty had left a deep impression on him. Just now, she was wearing clothes, and the skin that was half-revealed and half-hidden still made his heart flutter. He wanted to take this opportunity to look at her a few more times, because he probably wouldn't have such a good chance to see her again.
