Wild Malicious Consort, Good-for-nothing Ninth Miss - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Blustering

Translator: Soldier

At the gateway of the mansion of the Murong family’s offshoot, the situation remained deadlocked.

There were still houses ablaze inside the mansion. People were doing whatever they could trying to put out the fire, but it seemed as if the fire had gone uncontrollable.

“Young–Young Master, the fire has spread to the West Garden… ”

“Young Master, the fire in the South Garden is too fierce. We failed to save your favorite bird… ”

“Young Master… ”

Thousand Murong, who was standing in front of the vermilion-lacquered gate, heard the urgent reports from those servants and guards, the look on his face growing more and more sepulchral.

Hearing that his favorite bird had died in the fire, he felt a piercing pain, as if his heart was bleeding. In order to get that bird, he had gone through a lot of trouble and spent a large sum of money, but now it was roasted.

Anger glinted in his piercing eyes, but the bleeding wound in his arm seemed to be reminding him that he would surely suffer if he fight with this teenage girl again.

As a result, he was waiting – waiting for reinforcements.

Yun Wu knew clearly what Thousand Murong was up to, but she wanted exactly the same thing that he wanted.

Waiting – she was also waiting.

The arrival of the Patriarch of the Murong family would be the beginning of the real show.

“Who’s the one threatening to massacre the Murong family?” suddenly, an angry roar came from the distance, splitting the air.

The potent Qi of a Tier IX early-stage warrior could be distinctly felt even if he was still a long distance away.

The faces of those lookers-on suddenly changed as soon as they felt the heavy pressure.

“That’s the Second Patriarch of the Murong family… ”

“A Tier IX kung fu expert… ”

Exclamation of amazement and scary rippled through the crowds. As if afraid of accidentally getting hurt, all lookers-on backed off in unison, raised their heads and looked in the direction of that figure flying nearer.

Seeing that Sky Murong, who was dressed in a dark gray brocade robe, soon approached them from far away, all lookers-on were awed.

But right after him, there was Earth Murong dressed in a purple brocade robe embroidered with a totem. His strength had reached peak stage of Tier VIII, which meant that he was a powerful kung fu expert, too.

Soon, two figures landed on the ground in front of the gate on which there was a long crack caused by the previous fighting.

With this crack, the originally solemn and sumptuous gateway lost all its air of luxury.

Sky Murong’s face was terrifyingly sullen and it went even more sepulchral when Sky Murong saw that more than half of the houses in his mansion had been burnt down.

This scene was more than painful.

“Qian’er, how did you get hurt?” Earth Murong also had a gloomy look on his face when he landed, but with his sharp eyes, he noticed that Thousand Murong, who was standing before the gate, had a bleeding wound in his arm.

Thousand Murong’s face also looked sepulchral, but he still respectfully called, “Third Uncle!”

Sky Murong raised his eyes to dart a glance at him and with that his pupils contracted, “Qian’er, you got hurt as well?”

His son was in peak stage of Tier VII, yet he also got hurt?

“Who is it? Since you were bold enough to bluff, now stop acting like a coward and show yourself!” Sky Murong thundered.

“Haven’t I been standing here all along? Are you blind?” Yun Wu, who had been looking down, finally slowly raised her eyes and spoke in a cold, bland voice, as if she had almost fallen asleep due to the long wait for them.

Sky Murong abruptly turned around and hurled a blast of potent Tier IX power towards her.

But the next second, when he saw Yun Wu’s face, his pupils abruptly contracted, amazement glinting in his eyes.

“It’s you?”

Watching Sky Murong, Yun Wu slightly curved her lips, but there was a half smile on her face, “It’s been a couple of days, but Second Patriarch Murong’s greeting style remains the same.”

Hearing this, those passers-by looked somewhat confused.

It had been a couple of days?

The two knew each other?

After doing a double take when he heard her words, Sky Murong clenched his fists, feeling anger tinged with fear.

He had experienced the eeriness of this teenage girl, not to mention that there she was with a man who was a Grand Kung Fu Master.

Subconsciously, Sky Murong’s eyes swept around her.

“Second Elder Brother, you know her?”

Earth Murong glimpsed at Yun Wu who was in gunny clothes and frowned. He couldn’t identify her strength level.

However, a teenage girl like her had actually managed to wound Sky Murong and kill the fat man at Tier VI? And she had also injured those guards?

How was this possible?

Earth Murong was rather skeptical.

At this moment, before Sky Murong could reply…

“Move aside, move aside. Why are you all standing here? Clear off,” an impatient female voice came from amid the crowd.

Crowds of passers-by made way and Snow Murong quickly walked through them, followed by a couple of guards.

Snow Murong had already had someone to dispatch the garrison, but she didn’t wait for them to arrive. Instead, she led a couple of guards here first.

She wanted to find out who was so bodacious as to challenge her family’s authority.

However, she hadn’t expected that she would see the same girl that she had met in the Magic Beasts Forest.

“You?” Snow Murong’s voice was rather brittle.

Hearing this, Yun Wu slightly moved her head aside and blandly glanced at Snow Murong.

After that she moved her eyes aside, as if she was totally uninterested in her.

Embarrassment instantly appeared on Snow Murong’s face. Having been simmering with anger all along, she went furious when she saw indifference on Yun Wu’s face.

She whipped out her sword and angrily pointed it at Yun Wu, “We didn’t go after you, yet you came here yourself. Hand over the Vigorgrass. Otherwise I’ll make sure you won’t make it out of Luo City alive.”

The last time they had met, it had been in the Magic Beasts Forest. But now, they were in the Luo City which was the Murong family’s domain.

This time, she wanted to find out how arrogantly this girl dared to behave. She was determined to retaliate against Yun Wu, by hook or by crook.

Hearing this, Earth Murong abruptly frowned, “Snow, are you saying that she was the one who snatched the Vigorgrass from you?”

Snow Murong’s eyes were full of anger, “Yes. There’s something else, Third Uncle. In the Magic Beasts Forest, she stealthily took the Vigorgrass while we were fighting with the Ouyang family. And she has a Storage Space.”

Snow Murong had added that last remark deliberately.

Hearing her words, all lookers-on present couldn’t help but letting out exclamation of amazement.

A Storage Space?

That kind of thing could barely be bought by money, yet this teenage girl actually owned such a precious item? Involuntarily, many people looked in the direction of Yun Wu’s hands in unison.

In most cases, a Storage Space was attached to a ring or a bracelet, and sometimes a belt.

But they found that Yun Wu’s hands were smooth, and that there was no Storage Space ring. Around her waist, there was a plain gunny belt. She didn’t seem like someone who owned a Storage Space item at all.

Had she by any chance hid it?

Hearing her words, Earth Murong cast a gaze at Yun Wu with a fever of greed in his eyes.

“Little girl, as long as you hand over the Vigorgrass and the Storage Space item, I promise you’ll be able to leave here safely.”

“Like attracts like. You guys from the Murong family not only do things in the same way but also talk in the same manner. Very interesting,” Yun Wu said blandly, but there was a trace of sarcasm in her tone.

Earth Murong’s face darkened, “Little girl, take the opportunity when it arises. You killed a member of the Murong family and wounded our men. I offered to let you leave, so you should be… ”

However, before Earth Murong could finish his sentence, a bloodthirsty look appeared on Yun Wu’s apathetic face and with that she suddenly wielded her whip which was like a python going out of its hole.

There was a whoosh as the end of the whip shot towards Snow Murong who was holding a sword. It was so fast that it seemed to be as quick as a lightning.

“Snow! Watch out!” Thousand Murong hurriedly yelled.

He was in peak stage of Tier VII, yet he still got hurt. Since Snow Murong was merely in peak stage of Tier III, that whip blow would surely cut open her skin and tear her flesh, leaving her half dead.

“Humph. With her average skills… ” Snow Murong dodged aside and snorted dismissively.

But her scornful words were still at her throat when Yun Wu’s whip took a turn, as if it had eyes, and tightly wrapped itself around Snow Murong’s waist like a snake. And then the whip turned into a blur and threw Snow Murong squarely towards the stone lion in the distance.

“Snow!” Sky Murong yelled, face tightened. With a potent outburst of fighting spirit, he flashed over and tried to catch Snow Murong.

But the next second.

Yun Wu’s lips curved up and a bloodthirsty, ferocious look flashed across her face. She instantly lifted Snow Murong up and dashed Snow Murong towards the ground.

“Thud,” a muffled crash was heard, along with the faint sound of bones breaking.

“Ahhh… ” there was a long scream of pain.

With her feet touching the ground first, Snow Murong violently impacted on the ground, making a deep dent.

But Snow Murong just broke her legs and wasn’t seriously injured.

People could tell that Yun Wu had been controlling which part of Snow Murong’s body would land first. If she had landed on her head, then it would have been Snow Murong’s neck that had been broken.

Killing aura surged out of Earth Murong who thundered, “You dare to hurt my niece right in front of me! I’ll kill you!”

“Third Younger Brother, don’t be so impulsive!” Sky Murong’s face was livid with rage, but he hastily stopped his younger brother.

That long whip was still around Snow Murong’s waist.

The teenage girl had launched her attack at such a weirdly fast speed that even he hadn’t been able to react in time. If she had the intention to kill, then she could definitely take Snow Murong’s life instantly.

“It seems that Second Patriarch Murong is a smart person. You know the consequences of provoking me will be the broken neck of this Lady Murong.”

With a bloodthirsty, cold look in her purple eyes, Yun Wu looked at Sky Murong and the others with a faint, bland smile, but her tone was extremely callous.

Face ghastly white, Snow Murong was aching all over. The sharp pain in her feet, in particular, was giving her cold sweat.

For the first time, she distinctly felt the killing aura about Yun Wu. Watching Yun Wu, Snow Murong felt that her heart was shivering uncontrollably.

“Girl, Snow is the only daughter of the Lord of this city. If she offended you, I hope you can forgive her. Would you please be so kind as to let her go first?” Sky Murong said, trying hard to make his face seem as mild as possible.

Hearing this, Yun Wu curved her lips in a sneer, “Why should I?”

The three words left the look on Sky Murong’s face frozen.

She actually needed another reason to let Snow Murong go apart from her identity of the Lord of Luoyang City’s only daughter?

“Then think of it as doing me a favor. Would you please give the wrongdoer a way out?”

At this moment.

A mild and somewhat dignified voice slowly came from the distance.

Hearing this voice, all those lookers-on hurriedly stepped aside and made way for a middle-aged man who was leading a group of garrison soldiers towards the scene.
