Chapter 437 Want to run? Too late!
Xiaoya's small body stiffened when she heard that. She subconsciously clutched Yun Yiyi's sleeve tightly. Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and her teeth chattered slightly: "Miss... Miss, what should we do? They... They..."
When had Yun Yiyi ever experienced such naked malice? She felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest.
Looking at the two burly men approaching from the front and back with lustful eyes, she tried to straighten her back, but her voice betrayed her inner fear, as soft as a mosquito's whisper, without any deterrent effect: "Um...you...you don't come over here!"
The two men did not stop after hearing this. Instead, they rubbed their rough and greasy palms in an obscene manner, making disgusting "hehe" laughter.
The tall, thin man's greedy eyes swept back and forth between Yun Yiyi and Xiaoya, as if he was weighing the goods. "Tsk tsk, this girl is so delicate and tender, so juicy, she's sure to be worth a lot of money! Even this little girl is very pretty! You two brothers are really lucky this time, you're going to make a fortune!"
Before he finished speaking, the two exchanged a fierce look, and like hungry wolves staring at their prey, they rushed forward, one in front and one behind, towards the master and servant who were stuck in the middle of the alley like frightened deer!
"Ah!" Yun Yiyi was so scared that she screamed and closed her eyes tightly. Her thick eyelashes trembled violently, waiting for the terrible touch to come. She could even smell the sweat coming from the other person.
At this critical moment!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Two subtle sounds of breaking through the air rang out almost simultaneously, as fast as lightning.
Immediately afterwards, two pig-slaughtering howls suddenly erupted!
"Ugh!"
"My legs! They hurt so much!"
The expected capture did not happen, instead there was the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground and heart-wrenching wails.
Yun Yiyi opened her eyes in shock, only to see that the two gangsters who had looked ferocious just now were now like two live fish on a chopping board, curled up in pain on the dirty bluestone slabs, rolling and twisting, one hugging his thigh, the other covering his shoulder, their faces pale and covered in cold sweat.
Yun Yiyi blinked blankly, tears of fright still hanging on her long eyelashes, she had no idea what was going on.
"Miss! It's the Regent Princess! It was the Princess who saved us!" Xiaoya's voice changed with excitement. She pulled Yun Yiyi's sleeve hard and pointed in the direction of the alley entrance. Her eyes were filled with ecstasy and admiration for surviving a disaster.
Yun Yiyi looked in the direction Xiaoya pointed, and saw a cool and dashing figure standing there against the light from the alley entrance.
The person who came was Lan Xiyue. She was dressed in a neat outfit and had a beautiful face, but with a cold air that told strangers to stay away.
"Cousin!" Yun Yiyi felt like she had found a savior. All her fears instantly found an outlet. She stumbled over with tears in her eyes. Her voice was soft and sticky, and trembling with fear. "Why are you here? They... wuwu... Thank you, cousin, for saving me!"
Lan Xiyue glanced at her indifferently, with a look that was a mixture of "disdain" and "trouble", and ignored her crying.
She walked straight past Yun Yiyi, and the soles of her shoes embroidered with lotus patterns stepped mercilessly on the chest of the tall and thin man who was covering his shoulders, crushing it slightly.
"Hmph!" Lan Xiyue's voice was cold and condescending, "Tell me, how should I 'entertain' you?"
The tall and thin man who was stepped on groaned, his chest hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.
"Cousin!" Yun Yiyi, now with someone to lean on, felt a little bolder. She pointed at the two people on the ground and complained angrily, "They are not good people! Just now...just now they wanted to sell us...sell us to that filthy place for money! Cousin, you must not let them off so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue cast a disdainful look at Yun Yiyi again: "You go out without guards?"
Yun Yiyi pouted in grievance and defended herself in a low voice: "I... I sneaked out specially to pick out a gift for you, who knew I would meet such a heartless bad guy..." As she spoke, she took out a small box carefully wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom as if presenting a treasure and handed it over carefully.
Lan Xiyue took it casually and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket without even looking at it (actually putting it into the space), and her gaze fell back on the gangster at her feet.
The tall and thin man was struggling to breathe under her step, but he still insisted, staring at Lan Xiyue with sinister eyes, and hissed, "You bitch! Take your foot away now! Otherwise... otherwise you will regret it!"
"Heh!" Lan Xiyue looked like she had heard a huge joke. The corners of her lips curled up in an extremely cold arc, and she increased the strength of her feet. "Just with this pile of mud you are qualified to threaten me?" The tall and thin man's face suddenly twisted in pain, and he let out a suppressed groan of pain.
Lan Xiyue looked down at him, her voice light yet chilling: "If you look at me like that again, I'll dig out your eyeballs and stomp on them like bubbles."
At this moment, the strong man who was holding his leg and wailing next to him took advantage of the chaos and painfully pulled out the silver needle from his thigh.
As soon as the needle left the body, the piercing pain miraculously disappeared.
A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly got up from the ground, staring at Lan Xiyue viciously, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Bah! You stinky bitch! How dare you use a poison needle to attack Grandpa! But..."
His turbid eyes swept greedily over Lan Xiyue's beautiful face, revealing an even more obscene smile, "Hehe, she's even more beautiful than that little girl. With that face and figure, if she were sold to the most high-end brothel, the money...tsk tsk, it's enough for the two of us to live a carefree life for half a lifetime!"
"How dare you!" Chu Xia, who was standing behind Lan Xiyue, raised her eyebrows in anger, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily, "You are so audacious! How dare you speak so arrogantly and try to sell out our princess? You...you are simply tired of living! Just wait for the extermination of your entire clan!"
"Princess...Princess?!" The lewd smile on the burly man's face froze instantly, his eyes widened almost popping out. He looked at Lan Xiyue in disbelief, then at Chu Xia, and finally exchanged a terrified look with the tall and thin man who was being stepped on the ground.
They... hit a brick wall! And it was a red-hot iron!
Fear overwhelmed everything in an instant.
The sturdy man's eyes rolled around, and he no longer cared about brotherhood or his plans for wealth. He turned around abruptly and, using all his strength, ran towards the other end of the alley like a frightened rabbit!
"Want to run?" Lan Xiyue sneered, her laughter seemed to be filled with ice. "It's too late!"
She moved her mind slightly, and a pistol suddenly appeared in her hand.
She held her arms horizontally with a standard and stable posture, and aimed the black muzzle of the gun precisely at the strong man's running right leg.
"Bang!"
A dull but penetrating explosion sounded in the narrow alley!
"Ah! My leg!!" The strong man who was running wildly felt that his right leg was pierced by a red-hot iron axe. Severe pain accompanied by a burning sensation instantly swept through his body!
He howled miserably, lost his balance, and fell heavily on the cold stone slabs with a "thump" like a broken sack.
