Chapter 52: Don’t tell me, haven’t you beaten me enough?
The system's voice rang out in Lan Xiyue's mind: "Host, we've detected that the Regent is also here, watching the show from atop a large tree not far behind."
Lan Xiyue was stunned when she heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then her eyeballs turned quickly.
At this moment, two burly and ferocious-looking men, Hammer and Axe, had quietly approached Lan Xiyue.
There was a cold light flashing in their eyes, and the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Lan Xiyue's heart shuddered, but she did not show any panic. Instead, she stood there pretending to be calm.
"Hmph, Lan Xiyue, your time of death has come!" Liang Chui snorted coldly, his tone filled with murderous intent.
Faced with this sudden attack, Lan Xiyue did not choose to fight head-on, but ran behind him flexibly.
As she ran, she shouted, "Help! Someone is killing me!"
Liang Chui was stunned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you scared now? Weren't you very arrogant just now? You can't run away, so just prepare to die!" His words were full of sarcasm and pride.
Axe felt something was wrong. He frowned and looked at the direction Lan Xiyue escaped, and an inexplicable doubt arose in his heart.
But he didn't think much about it, but followed the two hammers closely and chased Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue ran wildly all the way and soon arrived under a big tree.
She stopped and looked up, only to see Regent Mo Liyuan sitting on a tree branch, looking at her with a half-smile.
Lan Xiyue was delighted, as if she had seen a savior: "Oh, Your Highness, you are here too! Your Highness, help me! Someone is trying to kill me!"
Mo Liyuan jumped down and landed steadily in front of Lan Xiyue.
He looked Lan Xiyue up and down, a playful smile on his face: "Just the two of them, you can't handle it?"
Lan Xiyue immediately ran behind Mo Liyuan and hid under his protection.
She poked her head out slightly, looking at the two hammers and axes chasing after her. "The prince and his men are killers. I'm weak as a chicken, how can I be their opponent?"
Mo Liyuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Weak as a chicken? You?"
The two hammers and the axe chased up to him, and when they saw Mo Liyuan appear, their faces instantly turned ugly.
Two Hammers snorted coldly: "Great, so you have helpers. No wonder you were so arrogant just now. Even if the king of heaven came today, he couldn't save you!"
Mo Liyuan glanced at Liang Chui indifferently, and instantly felt the blood in his body solidify. He couldn't help but shudder. What happened?
Tianyi flashed and rushed towards the two hammers and axes. His punches were sharp and his moves were fierce. He soon suppressed the two men without any chance to fight back.
After a while, the two hammers and the axe were beaten to the ground with groans and broken teeth.
Finally unable to bear the pain and humiliation, the two hammers begged for mercy, "Please spare our lives, sir! We are also accepting money and doing things for others!"
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue raised a smug smile at the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it true that even the Jade Emperor can't save me? And you're a killer? You are so cowardly! You really bring shame to the word 'killer'!" Her words were full of sarcasm and contempt.
Mo Liyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Lan Xiyue: "Miss Lan, what did you do that angered heaven and man that someone would hire someone to kill you?"
Lan Xiyue's face immediately showed a look of grievance when she heard this: "Unjust, Your Highness! How could I do such a thing that would anger heaven and man? Someone must be jealous of my beauty, so they can't tolerate me!"
The corners of Mo Liyuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. He looked Lan Xiyue up and down and smiled faintly: "Miss Lan is really very confident."
Lan Xiyue stroked her cheek, a smug and proud look on her face: "Of course! I am a beauty unparalleled in the world! So, is your Highness attracted to me?"
Mo Liyuan frowned slightly. This woman was really teasing his inner waves all the time.
Mo Liyuan wasn't angry at all; instead, an indescribable joy welled up in his heart. What on earth was going on? Even he couldn't explain it.
Mo Liyuan abruptly turned his gaze away. His face hardened as he said in a cold voice, "Miss Lan, how do you want to deal with these two?"
Lan Xiyue was puzzled. Wasn't he fine just now? How could he have changed his expression in the blink of an eye? Alas, men's hearts are like needles in the sea, changing faster than turning the pages of a book.
She walked over slowly. At this time, Tianyi was standing aside. His two hammers and an axe had already been beaten black and blue, and he was lying limp on the ground.
Lan Xiyue's mouth twitched slightly, she glanced at Tianyi, and thought to herself: Wow, so violent, look how he beat him up.
Tianyi was baffled by her gaze and muttered to himself, "No, Miss Lan, these two people are trying to kill you. Isn't it my duty to beat them up? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lan Xiyue ignored Tianyi's thoughts and just looked quietly at the two hammers and the axe on the ground.
He jokingly said, "Tell me, who paid you to kill me?"
Liang Chui groaned in pain, his voice weak and trembling: "Miss Lan, we are just small fry. We don't know who it is. Only our boss knows. We only know the identity of the target of the assassination mission." After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Lan Xiyue's eyes.
The shopkeeper thought that assassinating a rich lady would not be difficult, and it was because the employer paid a lot of money that he sent two of them. Otherwise, the shopkeeper would have sent one of them directly.
Lan Xiyue asked curiously, "Oh? Who is your shopkeeper?"
The two hammers and the axe lowered their heads and remained silent.
Once the identity of the shopkeeper was revealed, they would not be able to escape death, and their relatives would be implicated. Therefore, they chose to remain silent.
Lan Xiyue saw this and sneered. She slowly squatted down and looked at the two hammers and the axe. "You're not going to tell me? Haven't you been beaten enough?"
The two hammers and the axe trembled, and even though they were scared, they didn't dare to speak easily.
"Even if I kill you, you won't tell me? Ha! Although your martial arts skills are not that great, your character is still okay. You have the professional ethics of a killer!"
Tianyi couldn't help but speak up, "Miss Lan, they probably have relatives in their hands, so they don't dare to say anything."
"The killer has relatives?"
Tian Yi was stunned. "Killers are also human beings. Naturally, they have relatives. But some are orphans who were trained to be killers since childhood and have no relatives."
Lan Xiyue waved her hand, "You guys go!"
The two hammers and the axe looked up at her in disbelief. She didn't kill them and let them go?
"What? Don't you want to leave?"
He climbed up with the help of two hammers and an axe, and staggered away, fearing that Lan Xiyue would change her mind.
