Wild Malicious Consort, Good-for-nothing Ninth Miss - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Awesome Nobility

Translator: Soldier

Shortly after Yun Wu entered a dense forest, she finally caught sight of some traces of magic beasts.

However, the magic beasts of the highest level that she had encountered on a circular walk was around Tier II. Instead of going further, Yun Wu picked a wild leopard in middle stage of Tier II.

Though her body was out of condition, her movements were quick and clean, and she struck like greased lightning.

She raised her saber, gave a slash and killed it with one blow.

When Yun Wu picked herself up from that wild leopard, she was half full. Her lips were covered in blood and a big part of her coat was also bloodstained, the smell of which disgusted her.

But she felt warmer, and gradually, it seemed as if those seemingly withered meridians were beginning to revive. Those wounds on her body were also becoming itchy.

Yun Wu knew that was her wounds slowly healing.

Seemingly, as long as her body wasn’t resurrected, she was really like a walking corpse relying on beast blood to survive.

Out of no specific reason, Yun Wu felt somewhat anxious deep down in her heart.

She disliked this feeling, since it was too passive, and it also led to an unduly intense sense of insecurity.

At this moment, she couldn’t help thinking of that man who had jumped off the cliff into the torrent with her, and who had gone missing…

Where was he exactly?

“Rustle…”

The sound of grass rustling in some kind of wind was heard.

Yun Wu squinted. With a sudden move of her body, she flashed into a big tree in the twinkling of an eye.

Right at this moment, the figures of several assassins in black rushed over through the grass in a quick and covert manner.

“What a strong smell of blood!” one of those assassins said in a deep voice.

The other assassins’ eyes had already flashed in the direction of the wild leopard’s body, “It died a short while ago.”

“This smell of blood covered all the other odors. We lost the target’s direction. What do we do now?”

“We split up. The master ordered us to take the target’s head back, whatever the cost.”

The instant the conversation ended, those assassins’ figures split up and flashed in several different directions.

On the tree trunk, Yun Wu, who had been keeping his Qi hidden, couldn’t help but lift her eyebrows after those assassins left.

Tier VII assassins!

Who were they after?

Of course, this curious thought merely flashed across Yun Wu’s mind and soon disappeared. ‘Curiosity killed the cat,’ she knew this very well.

But at this moment!

“Swish!” the sound of something sharp splitting the air was heard.

A figure leaped down from a tree with dense foliage, pressing the blade of a sword against Yun Wu’s neck, while Yun Wu’s dagger pointed at the man’s heart.

“Who are you?” his deep, magnetic voice was tinged with coldness and solemnity.

He was a handsome young man about twenty years old, dressed in a brocade robe with the pattern of a flying black dragon on it. He was staring squarely at Yun Wu’s purple eyes. Like that of a hawk, his eyes were piercingly black, and the look in them was a mixture of condescension and nobility, but it was also extremely icy.

If Long Qingxie was a man like a Yōkai, then this man was a domineering and callous man.

However, Yun Wu found his unduly piercing black eyes somewhat repellent.

“I think my identity doesn’t concern you, does it?” Yun Wu slightly curved her lips, but her voice was extremely apathetic.

The man started looking Yun Wu up and down with his piercing eyes. Her hair was tied behind her head in a casual way, revealing her fine features, especially her charming purple eyes.

But what she was wearing was patched gunny clothes, as if she was trying to hide her beauty, but her attire failed to conceal her intrinsic unruliness.

A short while ago, when she killed that Tier II wild leopard, he had flashed into the top of this tree after finding this place by following those special marks.

He hadn’t expected that he would witness the scene of her lying on the wild leopard’s body drinking its blood.

Of course he was astonished, but he was more curious.

After those assassins who had been pursuing him to kill him left, he had meant to quietly approach her. Unexpectedly, she detected him the moment he made his move, and now he ended up in this situation.

During the past 21 years of his lived life, no woman had ever treated him like this.

“What’s your name?” the man’s black eyes were still piercing, but he seemed to have an aggressive momentum.

He stared at her with exceptionally deep eyes.

Yun Wu frowned. His gaze gave her goosebumps, which was not a pleasant feeling.

But in the blink of an eye, she slightly curved her lips in a half smile, “Are you pretty used to put a sword to a girl’s throat before asking her name?”

Stunned, the man looked down at Yun Wu whose lips had curved into a smile. He lifted his eyebrows and put away his sword after a couple of seconds’ silence.

“Can you tell me now?”

Yun Wu smiled, but the next second, an aggressive look flashed across her eyes and she swung her dagger at him.

The man narrowed his piercing eyes with a frown, gave a leap and dodged aside quickly.

But at this moment, Yun Wu had leaped down the tree and intended to leave.

“You want to leave without answering my question?”

“Swish!” he stabbed the sword at her.

With a sudden move of her body, Yun Wu swiftly dodged aside, but she discovered that the man’s speed was extremely fast. There had been several occasions when she nearly got hit by him.

Wind Attribute, middle stage of Tier VII!

This man was merely in his early twenties, but his strength was already in middle stage of Tier VII!

His endowments were far more superior than that of those so-called geniuses.

Among all the people she had met so far, this man was the one with the best talent apart from that Yōkai-like Long Qingxie.

However, that man was just as surprised as Yun Wu was.

“Early stage of Tier VII?”

This teenage girl, who was seemingly fifteen or sixteen years old, was actually in early stage of Tier VII?

What kind of talent was this?

The man watched the beautiful agile teenage girl in front of him, the look in his eyes becoming deeper.

He stopped attacking and stared squarely at Yun Wu, “If you don’t want to disclose your name, at least tell me your surname.”

Surname?

Wasn’t telling him her surname synonymous with telling him her background?

Yun Wu raised her eyes and glanced at that man. Judging from his attire and temperament, this man must come from an unusual background.

“Find out about it yourself if you think you can.”

The moment her apathetic voice died away, Yun Wu turned around and intended to leave, since she had sensed that those assassins that had left just now were on their way back here.

The man had also detected this. His clamped lips suddenly curved up.

He put away the sword in his hand, and with a sudden move of his body, he flashed to Yun Wu, who was about to leave, and grabbed Yun Wu’s hand. Like lighting, he dragged her and shot forward.

All this happened before Yun Wu could reacted, and when she realized what had happened, an assassin had come at her head-on.

‘Damn it!’

Yun Wu attempted to draw her hand back from that man’s grip, but the assassin was stabbing a sword at her from the front. Out of instincts, she moved sideways and meanwhile swung her dagger backwards across that assassin’s throat.

Blood gushed out.

There was still disbelief in the assassin’s eyes when his body fell down to the ground.

“How quick your moves are. Did you practice assassins’ skills?” the man who was holding Yun Wu’s hand stared at Yun Wu with an exceptionally deep look in his eyes.

Killing intent appeared in Yun Wu’s purple eyes. She swung her dagger at the man’s hand with which he was grabbing hers.

The man squinted with a dangerous look in his eyes, but he still loosened his grip and quickly flashed aside.

“No woman has ever dared to swing a knife at me again and again,” his deep voice went icy.

Yun Wu curved her lips in a sardonic smile, “Next time, I won’t just swing a knife at you. I’ll kill you… ”

An amused look crossed the bottom of the man’s eyes, “You really know how to bluff. As long as you tell me your name, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay here with me.”

“You think you can stop me leaving?” Yun Wu curved her lips in a smile which was piercingly cold.

“Maybe others can’t, but I, Zhou Feiyu, never let things that catches my fancy slip away,” these confident words were uttered in a highly domineering tone.

But hearing these words, Yun Wu sneered secretly.

Things?

Even if she was a thing, he was in no place to be interested in her, not to mention that she was not a thing.

“Is that so?” Yun Wu squinted her purple eyes with a smile.

Abruptly, in less than the blink of an eye’s time, a rapid blur flashed past Zhou Feiyu at a weirdly fast speed along with a gleam of cold light.

Dodge?

He merely managed to turn his head aside and didn’t even have the chance to dodge.

The dagger in Yun Wu’s hand had been stuck into the tree behind him and a thin bloody line appeared on his handsome face. The distinct sting was like a reminder of what had just happened.

“Don’t overestimate yourself. If I intend to kill you, I can do it a lot quicker than those who are after you can,” Yun Wu’s voice was extremely cold.

After giving a cold glimpse at him, she turned around and left without waiting for him to make any responses.

This time Zhou Feiyu didn’t pursue her. Watching Yun Wu’s receding figure, he raised his hand and stroked away that blood bead on his cheek with the fingertip of one of his long fingers.

The corner of his lips slowly curved in an amused smile, “So interesting!”

But in his deep black eyes, a ferocious look flickered.

There had never been anything that he, Zhou Feiyu, failed to get.

…

After getting far away from that man, Yun Wu didn’t return immediately. She hunted another magic beast and consumed some of its blood along with Holygrass.

Grandma Medicine’s medicinal herbs were not very effective in healing her wounds, so Yun Wu collected some other medicinal herbs and changed the dressing.

After doing all this, Yun Wu followed those marks and retraced her steps back to that remote valley.

When she returned to that cottage, it was already dark, but she discovered that both Grandma Medicine and Little Leaf were not in. She thought that they were in the village taking care of those injured villagers, so she didn’t try to look for them.

The next day.

With the efficacy of beast blood and Holygrass in addition to practicing Qi circulation for a night, Yun Wu felt that her meridians had fully recovered, and her wounds had been healing quickly.

The wounds on her body should heal completely in two days.

As regards that branch in her abdomen, it didn’t penetrate her Dantian but rooted around her Dantian.

Elder White, who was in the necklace around her neck, had been quiet all along ever since she woke up.

Everything seemed so weird.

But since she couldn’t figure these things out, Yun Wu just left them aside.

She stood up, stretched out a little and intended to go and check those villagers that got injured yesterday.

But the moment she walked out of the cottage, she saw Sister Li hurriedly ran in her direction again.

“Where were you yesterday, girl? Something happened… ”

‘Something happened?’

With those drugs prepared by Grandma Medicine, nothing serious could have happened even if those patients had caught fever after operation.

As soon as Sister Li arrived, she grabbed Yun Wu’s hand and hastily walked towards the cottage, explaining, “Little Leaf is missing. The fat man who injured those villagers yesterday has come back to our village with more men. They struck everybody they saw, and they took Grandma Medicine away. Right now, they’re heading for this cottage. Hurry. Go inside and don’t come out no matter what happens.”
