Chapter 132 A farcical assassination
Late at night.
Huang Miaoyin left behind the words, "When will I become a saint and when will I get married?" and then hurried back to Xishui Kingdom under the cover of night.
They also took away Master Jing, who had returned to his peak, saying they wanted to vindicate [Sikong Jing] in the Huang family and to vindicate their father and mother.
The east courtyard of the Lü residence is the main house.
bedroom.
"He's gotten a bit older, but he seems even more handsome now..."
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Lü Fengxian kept examining her body. Her once youthful skin now showed signs of age, but it didn't look weathered.
This is a transformation from "boy" to "man".
If he used to give off a "cute and handsome" vibe, now he's "purely handsome."
"Now is just right, as for turning into a decrepit old man, let's forget about it..."
After saying that, he contacted the system, exchanged for a [Youth Preservation Pill], and casually popped it into his mouth like a candy, chewing it casually.
The "Youth-Preserving Pill" is self-explanatory.
Its medicinal effect is to keep one's appearance forever.
Of course, this is just the alchemist boasting about his elixirs. Elixirs alone are far from enough to keep one's appearance forever; they can only delay aging to the greatest extent possible.
"call…"
Let out a sigh, put on her pajamas, leaned against the windowsill, lit a cigarette, and gazed at the crescent moon. "The reward team will arrive the day after tomorrow. Before then, I need to strengthen the Lu family's fighting force..."
"It's still quite necessary to flex our muscles in front of the imperial court..."
"We can't let people think that the Lü family is a dish that can be manipulated at will!"
wow——
Suddenly, a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings came rushing in, with red high heels on their feet. The legs gradually moved down, revealing the face of their owner.
It was Huyanwei who had been hiding in the shadows, believing that no one had noticed him.
"Not hiding anymore?" Lü Fengxian asked with a smile.
However, Hu Yanwei ignored the teasing remark and went straight to the point, "Do you still have any of those longevity pills? I really need them, consider it a favor I owe you!"
“I don’t need favors,” Lü Fengxian shook her head slightly, her hands in her pajama pockets, her long dark red hair fluttering in the night breeze. “I want your Huyan family to form an alliance with my Lü family. That’s all I ask!”
"Oh?"
Hu Yanwei was taken aback. He floated into the room like a ghost and sat on the windowsill. "Aren't you afraid of being charged with 'colluding with foreign forces' and committing treason?"
After speaking, she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear to keep it from obstructing her view.
"Overseas?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Fengxian chuckled, stubbed out her cigarette, and shrugged. "In two more days, I'll be considered a foreign power myself. That old bastard Emperor has banished me to outside the Southern Wilderness defense line."
The information regarding the rewards was provided by Hong Yuxiao.
The two were introduced by Mr. Hong, and although they never actually met, they had several conversations.
"They want me to deal with ferocious beasts every day, and ideally, I'd 'die in the line of duty'..."
"The emperor thinks that my Lü family's prestige is too high and may threaten his position, so he keeps suppressing us and wants me to face the ferocious beasts and the lower kingdoms directly, to be used as cannon fodder."
"call……"
After saying that, Lü Fengxian let out a long breath and looked at Huyanwei.
He continued, "The reason I allied with your Huyan family is to avoid trouble from the Lower Domain Kingdom, so that I can more easily develop my own forces..."
The words weren't explicitly stated, but Hu Yanwei understood them.
Hu Yanwei asked with a smile, "You used to only want to make yourself stronger, but now you want to develop your own team?"
“If the previous path is blocked, we have no choice but to change course,” Lü Fengxian’s eyes suddenly deepened as she toyed with the wolf-tooth necklace. “It’s a very simple principle; there’s no need to stubbornly stick to one path…”
"Come on, let's pinky swear!"
At this moment, Huyan Wei suddenly extended his little finger and shook it, "After we pinky swear, we're all in an alliance. I'll send you the Huyan family's token later."
Through the gaps in the black gauze gloves, one could vaguely see that it was a slightly weathered hand.
"Okay, pinky promise!"
Don't underestimate this seemingly childish act; it's a covenant ceremony recorded in ancient texts, and it's relatively less painful compared to blood oaths.
Afterwards, Hu Yanwei bid farewell to Lü Fengxian and left with the elixirs.
……
Time slipped away quietly, and it was already past midnight.
At this moment, everyone in the Lü family mansion was already fast asleep. Apart from the rustling of the wind, the only other sound in the vast mansion was the snoring of a few people.
whoosh-
A flying boat suddenly appeared high in the sky, having been in stealth mode the whole time, indicating that its purpose was either theft or assassination.
tread!
A man in black leaped off the flying boat and headed straight for the east courtyard of the Lü family.
Being able to walk on air, this uninvited guest turned out to be a top-tier expert with at least a Heavenly Rank.
The man in black was internally screaming:
"Lü Fengxian!"
"How dare you defile my young lady! By order of the patriarch, I will take your dog's life tonight!"
It is unknown what kind of superb movement technique he used, but he landed without making a sound.
They quietly arrived at the main house.
creak-
He gently opened the bedroom window, rolled over and entered, then abruptly pulled back Lü Fengxian's blanket, raising the dagger high in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the thin moonlight.
"Die!" the man in black cried out in his heart.
Swish!
The dagger stabbed down suddenly.
Instead of the expected sound of a weapon piercing flesh, a clanging sound of metal striking metal was heard.
"Can't be pierced?"
The man in black looked down and saw that a small child with bull horns was clinging to Lü Fengxian, blocking her chest. The dagger pierced the child's body.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
"How could a mere brat withstand a full-force thrust from a dignified early-stage Heaven Rank expert?"
"I do not believe!"
Having said this in his heart, he immediately stabbed himself several times, showing no belief in evil.
Clang, clang, clang…
However, no matter how the man in black stabbed, he couldn't even scratch the skin of the bull-horned child.
Zhang Liuye brand bulletproof vests are highly praised by all users.
The clanging of metal against metal was deafening.
However, neither of the two people sleeping soundly inside responded.
Lü Fengxian consumed up to five years of her lifespan.
At this moment, it has fallen into a deep sleep, and even if knives were falling from the sky, it would be difficult to wake up.
Zhang Liuye, being a sleeping god himself, remained completely unmoved.
"Sister Xiaomeng, it seems like a thief has broken into Master's place..."
"Sister Ti Mao, the young master hasn't given any instructions, so it's best if we don't go in on our own..."
However, Ti Mao and Xiao Meng in the next room had already woken up, but without the young master's instructions, they did not break down the door, but waited for things to develop.
"But what if the master is threatened..."
“No, young master is very capable,” Xiao Meng shook her head, then explained, “Sister Ti Mao, you may not know this yet, but young master loves to tease people. He might be playing a trick on the thief.”
It's rather surprising that these two demons address each other as "elder sister."
"call…"
"call……"
At this moment, the man in black was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and the dagger in his hand was already dulled; it probably couldn't even cut a hair now.
"This is my first time on duty, and I must complete the task successfully!"
After thinking it to himself, he took off his belt, put it around Lü Fengxian's neck, and pulled hard, trying to exhaust his target to death in her sleep.
open eyes!
Suddenly, Zhang Liuye opened his eyes.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a blood-red hand of soul power appeared. Before it could even be swung, the man in black was so frightened that he wet himself and immediately fainted.
“Huh…” Xiao Liuye frowned.
Immediately, he used his clumsy sealing formation to trap the man in black. He did it very quickly, before the filth could even contaminate the ground.
"call…"
"Go back to sleep."
