Chapter 94: How Dare You Hurt My Woman
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Who was this man who had suddenly appeared? What was the motivation behind his appearance here?
At this moment, the Wind Owl Beast stood still as its body began to tremble. Suddenly, it unleashed a violent roar and charged to pounce on the man.
Before Ling Chuxi managed to tell the man to watch out, the man had already slowly reached out his hand. There was an indescribable elegance to the sight of his fair, slender hand illuminated by the hazy moonlight. His actions were very slow, but they seemed to carry the weighty might of a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
The man’s cold and charming voice resounded throughout the space. “How dare you hurt my woman… For that you shall die!”
In the next moment, the Wind Owl Beast who had been roaring and attacking so fiercely ruptured into powder before the man’s very eyes! The monster beast really did just turn into powder! And just like that, with the billows of the wind, the powder was scattered into the air and the Wind Owl Beast was no more.
A Level 5 monster beast had just completely disappeared before Ling Chuxi’s eyes. The man standing before her had merely lifted his hand to instant-kill the Wind Owl Beast. Wei Dan and Wei Xin were still lying unconscious on the group, their bodies riddled with wounds. Ling Chuxi had understood that if she were to meet this Wind Owl Beast head one, she’d most definitely be unable to retreat without any losses of her own. She was aware that the price to pay for even thinking of killing a Wind Owl Beast was not small. However, the person before her had done it so easily. What kind of tyrannical level had his cultivation reached?
The cool night breeze blew, ruffling the man’s silver hair and white sleeves ever so slightly. In the obscure moonlight, the man slowly turned around to face Ling Chuxi and revealed his shocking, peerless face. At that moment, it was as if there was only he who stood in all of the earth and the heavens. The surroundings had all but faded into a backdrop behind him. His purple eyes were clear and carried a depth. His temperament was seemingly elegant but also seemed to contain a devilish charm. These two clashing temperaments seem to combine perfectly in him.
The peerlessly handsome man slowly walked closer to Ling Chuxi. He came to a stop in front of her, knelt down and arched his sensual lips into a slight curve. He gently brushed his finger against Ling Chuxi’s lip and said in a deep and charming voice, “Remember your man’s name, woman. My name is Huangfu Qingjue.”
“What?” Ling Chuxi was stunned and was unable to regain her senses. What was the peerlessly handsome man before her saying?
“Are you all right?” asked Huangfu Qingjue as he withdrew his hand from Ling Chuxi’s face. His brows furrowed slightly as his gaze landed on the wound on Ling Chuxi’s shoulder.
“Ah, I’m fine,” replied Ling Chuxi with a shake of her head though she was still feeling very stunned.
“That’s good,” said Huangfu Qingjue as he smiled slightly. His smile was unrivalled. Its brilliance made it seem as though the sun and the moon has lost all their color. Without waiting for Ling Chuxi to begin asking all the questions she must have, Huangfu Qingjue stood up and broke into a light forward leap. He then disappeared into the night.
“Huangfu Qingjue? Why did that name sound familiar? Who was that man?” Ling Chuxi had slowly but finally managed to overcome her shock and regain her senses. Looking up at the night sky, she let out a regretful gasp, “Oh no, I had yet to even thank him!”
Ling Chuxi turned to look in the direction in which Huangfu Qingjue had disappeared. She felt a slight pang of sadness within her heart. Who was that strong and magnificent man? How was it that he had suddenly appeared and what did his words mean? Ling Chuxi brought her hand to her lips. There seemed to be a lingering warmth where the man’s fingertips had rested on her lip.
“Ugh…” A painful groan suddenly interrupted Ling Chuxi’s thoughts. She turned around and saw that Wei Dan was about to awaken.
She had almost forgotten about the two loyal secret guards due to all the commotion. Ling Chuxi shook her head to urge more of her senses to return. She rushed forward towards the two injured guards and began using her golden needles to stop their wounds from bleeding out.
…
“Miss Ling Chuxi. Are we all dead?” This was the first thing Wei Dan asked her after he had awoken.
