"Li Xianchuan?!" Shen Zhiyi frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and as if thinking of something, her expression turned angry.
"Those assassins, were they sent by you?!"
"So what if it is?" Li Xianchuan saw her and Qingyuan standing close together, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. He said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Do you know that the person standing next to you is a demon!"
"Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and punish him!"
Shen Zhiyi looked terrified.
How did he know?
She instinctively stepped in front of Qingyuan, "You're framing me with baseless accusations!"
"Empty words are no proof?" Li Xianchuan sneered.
He leaped onto Shen Zhiyi's pleasure boat, raised the peach wood sword in his hand, and pointed it directly at Qingyuan.
"It's okay if you don't admit it."
"Now that his demonic power is exhausted, let's see what he has left to contend with the peach wood sword in my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi looked up.
Dark red runes flowed across the wooden sword, resembling some kind of ominous formation.
A sense of unease welled up inside her.
His eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he exclaimed in surprise, "Those assassins just now, you deliberately released them?!"
He not only knew that Qingyuan was a demon.
They also knew that his demonic power was damaged.
So he deliberately released some assassins to weaken his demonic power.
Once Qingyuan has dealt with those assassins, he can reap the benefits!
"Li Xianchuan, it's one thing for you to target my business, but now you're going after my man too. What are you up to!"
"Your man?" Li Xianchuan was stunned for a moment, then his anger flared up.
"He's a demon, what right does he have to be your man!"
Li Xianchuan suddenly remembered the fact that he was no longer a man, and a venomous and twisted hatred seeped into his heart as he stared intently at Qingyuan.
Today, he will use this peach wood sword to slay this demon!
To vent my anger!
Qingyuan was also stunned when he heard Shen Zhiyi's words.
He looked down at Shen Zhiyi's tousled hair and her determined eyes that were fixed straight ahead.
She said he was her man...
And yet she still protects him so much...
Qingyuan heard the clamor of the wind, blowing against his eardrums.
The wind blew until his whole head started buzzing.
Li Xianchuan said angrily, "Shen Zhiyi, if you come to my side now, I might let you off the hook and treat you better."
"But if you remain stubborn and insist on protecting this monster, then don't blame me for being merciless!"
Once he kills this demon, he will surely humiliate her severely!
When Qingyuan heard that he wanted to deal with Shen Zhiyi, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.
Instead of retreating, Shen Zhiyi stepped forward.
His eyes were burning with fire.
"You think you can deal with us with this broken sword in your hand?"
"I'm telling you, you're dreaming!"
"Even if I die here with him today, I will never be with a filthy eunuch like you!"
She had put up with him for a long time.
This man has been harassing her ever since she started doing business in Jiangnan!
If harassment doesn't work, then they'll target you at every turn!
If it weren't for his connection to the royal family, she wouldn't have been able to so easily lose her cash flow just because a cargo ship ran aground, leaving her with her lifeline in his grasp and unable to move an inch.
Qingyuan was her only hope.
She absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!
"Shen Zhiyi! You wretched woman! How dare you insult me like that!" Li Xianchuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
His eyes were bloodshot as he snarled, "Broken sword?"
"Pah!"
"Take a closer look at this sword!"
He drew his longsword and roared, "Let me tell you, this sword was soaked in the Taoist priest's talisman water and used to set up a demon-catching formation!"
“Under normal circumstances, I would not dare to fight this monster.”
"But now, his demonic power has dissipated, and he is no match for me at all!"
"I advise you to be sensible and come over obediently!"
The Taoist priest said that if you stab the monster in the abdomen, you can make it unable to move.
If the stab is aimed at the heart, the victim can be killed on the spot!
May it be reduced to ashes!
Today, he will avenge this monster for severing his manhood and stealing his woman!
Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
Her mind raced.
Why not... first feign surrender, then wait until you're near Li Xianchuan, and then seize the peach wood sword and throw it into the sea!
In this way, Qingyuan's life can be saved.
Li Xianchuan coveted her beauty; he probably wouldn't harm her.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyi took a slight step.
Just as he was about to step forward.
A hand swept across and suddenly grabbed her waist.
Did I give you permission to leave?
A cold, low voice rang out from above.
Like a cold current from the deep sea, it descends coldly.
But the force around her waist was fiery and binding, almost as if it would knead her into her very bones.
Shen Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.
Look up at him.
"I didn't..." she explained softly, leaning closer anxiously and whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I was just worried you couldn't beat him."
"Hasn't your demonic power been exhausted?"
