Chapter Eighty-Five: Capturing the Assassin!
sively decided to run away, she desperately pushed through the crowd, and Rui Tianyu chased after her."Ouch!" He bumped into someone. Damn it, who is this Blocking my way at this time What bad luck!"..."So you like watching... a vibrant spectacle, eh" A gust of wind carried a faint voice into Mu Jianjiao's ear...
Who Who's there! Mu Jinjiao was on full alert...
Seeing Mu Jin's whole body on guard, Wuji smiled and flew to the eaves where she was.
"You don't seem like that kind of person, I didn't expect you to have such a sweet side... no wonder you are so aloof..." Wuji reached out to touch Mu Jin's hair that fell over her forehead...
Mu Jin Jiao leaned sideways, dodging out of the way: "Wu Ji, don't test my patience!"
"What, want to fight me Given your current state, I could take you down without breaking a sweat... But, as you know, I don't like to get my hands dirty..." Wují's wolf-like eyes locked onto Mù Jǐnjiāo's figure...
"What do you want!" Mu Jinjiao gritted her teeth and asked...
"What do you want me to do Little sister, where do you live It's deep into the night and it's getting cold. Let me, Wujī, send you back home safely."
"Don't even think about it!" Mu Jinjiao drew the weapon from her back, slashing at Wuji's outstretched hand.
Wuji licked the blood on the back of his hand: "Hmm... poisonous... Ha ha, you're getting more and more interesting..."
Mú Jǐn jiāo's phoenix eyes stared at Wújì...
This man is highly skilled in martial arts, and he's so difficult to deal with. I need to think of a way to lure him away...
"Since you poisoned me, I won't be polite either..." Wuji picked up a piece of tile, weighed it in his hand, and looked at Mu Jinjiao...
"What are you going to do" Mu Jinjiao's gaze was fixed on the tile in Wuji's hand. He couldn't possibly want to...
"Haha, you know I hate it when people poison me. Finding an antidote is such a hassle...So, I always have to give you a little lesson, don't I" Wuji pretended to throw the tile onto the eaves.
"Don't go crazy, this benefits no one!" Mu Jinjiao knew that if Wuji threw this tile down, it would inevitably attract the palace guards. Although she had taken medicine and her martial arts were not weak, she couldn't withstand the exhaustion of a protracted battle. The only way out now was to persuade Wuji to put down the tile in his hand…
"I can give you the antidote!"
"An antidote Is this it" Wuji took out a small vial from behind and shook it in front of Mu Jinjiao...
Mu Jinjiao touched her chest... The antidote was indeed no longer on her...
How could this be… When did he do it!
“Don't forget, I am Wuji, coming and going without a trace, killing invisibly... Hahahaha...” Wuji laughed wildly.
The laughter was clearly heard by the pair of wild mandarin ducks in the house...
"Did you hear anything" the woman asked nervously.
"What could it be Don't worry, it'll be alright soon..."
"Um... really no... um... ah... sound, huh"
"You're too tense, this is the Cold Palace, how could anyone come Come, my lady, let us continue..."
"You're so bad… Um… Disgusting…"
Mu Jin's heart relaxed, thankfully the wild mandarin ducks hadn't noticed her on the eaves. She wasn't sure if she should be grateful for this man's superb skill in coaxing women or lucky to have escaped their notice...
But luck often comes fast and goes fast...
"Mu Jinjiao, if you don't warm my bed for me tonight, then I'll have to..." Wuji continued tossing the tile in his hand, playfully watching Mu Jinjiao's every move...
"Hmph, this is the Cold Palace. You can't summon the Imperial City guards, let alone escape if they came!" Mu Jinjiao tensed her whole body... Why was this man so troublesome!
"Is that so Then I might as well give it a try... Though, it's a pity for such an alluring body... Perhaps it would be safer for me to send you home instead How about that" Wuji looked at Mu Jin's tightly-fitting black attire and licked his lips...
"You think you can!" Mu Jinjiao stood straight, her voice filled with defiance. "What do you want to do!"
“Haha! What do you think I want to do Don't you know yet You are really interesting!” Wuji pointed at the man and woman under the eaves, “Of course, I want to do what every man in the world wants to do……” Wuji chuckled innocently, propping up a tile with his hand……
"Despicable!" Mu Jin's whole body trembled with anger...
I'd heard rumors about Wuji's lasciviousness, but seeing him today confirmed them. I never expected he would set his sights on me… What am I to do This kind of man is surely not someone to entrust your heart to, yet after the pain I endured, leaving the palace was already difficult enough...
Mu Jinjiao felt the true qi within her slowly draining away...
No, I can't waste time with him anymore. He has all the time in the world, but I don't have that much time to waste here with him...I need to figure something out...
Looking at Mu Jin's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with thought, and seeing her hand clutching the weapon getting tighter and tighter, Wu Ji raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I've changed my mind. Although I really want to send you home and treat you well, ... I'm even more interested in seeing how you beg me for help later... Haha... Then, when that happens, I'll promise you my body. How about that That would definitely be more interesting!"
“What!” Before Mu Jinjiao could come up with a plan, Wuji shot the tile into the pillar behind the joyful man and woman with his internal energy...
"Ah!" the woman beneath him cried out in alarm....
"Who!" The man immediately went limp with fear, kneeling on the ground....
"Goodness gracious! Big Brother Zuo, I'm scared!" The woman tugged at the man's clothes, trembling...
"Hush, don't let anyone find us, we're already late!" the man warned in a low voice.
Wuji picked up another shard, this time aiming it directly at the man...
"Ah! Brother Zuo, Brother Zuo!" The woman cried out in fear...
“I…I…” The man stammered, pulling up his pants. “You, you get away from me!” He kicked the woman holding him and ran out as if his life depended on it.
"Brother Left, Brother Left, you can't abandon me... What am I going to do! Waaah...What am I going to do!" The woman cried, squatting on the ground.
"Get out of here!" Mu Jin shouted fiercely.
"Who, who is there A ghost... ah! A ghost!" The woman in the house seemed to have gone mad, running out without even her clothes on...
"Hmph... what a spineless man..." Wuji slowly swallowed the antidote.
"Despicable!" Mu Jinjiao glanced at the torches approaching in the distance, and had to begrudgingly put aside her grievances with Wujidi for now...
"Want to leave Not so easy!" Wuji reached out and grabbed Mu Jin's foot as it flew halfway into the air...
"Howl!" Mu Jinjiao unleashed her full power with a palm strike aimed at Wuji...
"You! You... you actually poisoned again..." Wuji didn't expect that Mu Jinjiao would poison in her palm. Faced with the deadly poison in Mu Jinjiao's palm, Wuji had to seal several of his major acupoints first...
Seeing Mu Jinjiao jump and leave his sight, he revealed a strange smile: "Mu Jinjiao, the cat-and-mouse game has never been so easy to end...Just wait to become my woman of infinity..."
"There's an assassin! Catch him!"
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
"Don't let him get away! Quick, you guys get on him and hold him down!"
"There is an assassin..."
The sound of the guards drew nearer...
This is really like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead… However… Wanting to catch him I’m afraid that won’t be so easy! Mu Jinjiao, I want to see just how many guards you can beat!
...Wu Ji flew in the direction where Mu Jin flew away...
"Don't let him get away, chase after him! Chase after him!"
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
The entire palace lit up, and more guards were alarmed...
"Mu Jinjiao! Look who I brought for you! You have fun with him! Hahaha..." Wuji's unrestrained laughter echoed above Mu Jinjiao's head...
"Wujī! You're so despicable!" Mù Jǐnjiāo turned her head back, taking a sharp gasp...octor Yun, but they all knelt down and kowtowed behind him.Twenty-Nine silently shed a tear for the group of doctors at the door. The prince was in a bad mood, and you fools actually came to the study...
