A crisp sound rang out as her dagger was parried.
She also took advantage of the momentum to charge out of the room and saw the situation outside.
There stood a man by the door
Leading the team was Ye Feng.
Ye Feng held a military dagger in his hand, which he had just used to block the woman’s attack.
"Who are you exactly?"
The woman, dressed in yoga clothes, showed a face full of caution.
Yet Ye Feng didn’t seem to care and spoke with ease,
"Who I am is not something you need to know. Knowing won’t help you, but I mean you no harm."
"Put away your dagger. Don’t challenge me. If we truly start fighting, the one to die will definitely be you."
The woman trembled from Ye Feng’s arrogant words, yet she didn’t doubt that he was telling the truth.
She put away her dagger.
Ye Feng also put away his military dagger and spoke indifferently,
"I have no particular intention. After all, I’m only paid to work for others and to do well as a team leader. Other matters don’t concern me. However, I am kind-hearted, and I can’t bear to see you walk into your death. I know you’re here for Zhang Xiaoshan, but I must warn you, that kid is not as simple as he seems, and he’s not so easy to deal with. Don’t set yourself up for death."
The woman responded indifferently,
"Like you, I am also paid to do a job. Having taken someone’s money, of course, I have to act."
"Moreover, just a stinky kid, I don’t believe he could be a match for me."
Having said that, she directly jumped down from the second floor.
Ye Feng spread his hands helplessly and went back to sleep in his room.
Xue Ying was a professional assassin, having been on over a hundred missions, and had a mysterious natural sensing of her environment. She had already noticed that village folks were guarding outside, so she didn’t exit through the main door but instead climbed over the back wall and left.
Crouching low, she moved away quickly like a civet cat.
Li Erniu, who was dozing off at a junction, shouted towards Wu Biao.
Wu Biao, too sleepy to open his eyes, looked forward groggily,
"There isn’t a ghost shadow, you must be seeing things?"
Li Erniu rubbed his eyes and concentrated on looking forward, seeing nothing but darkness and silence.
"Forget it, Wu Biao, you keep watch first. I’ll take a nap, and then I’ll take over from you later,"
During dinner time, Xue Ying gathered from the villagers that Zhang Xiaoshan lived in the village clinic.
Within minutes, she had reached the doorstep of the clinic.
She gently pushed the door of the clinic.
The door seemed to be locked from the inside.
She carefully peered her head out and looked through the window into the room, where the small bed looked bulky, as though someone was sleeping with a blanket over their head.
Zhang Xiaoshan, worried about his sister-in-law coming to check on him, had taken some precautions. It was very dark, and Xue Ying didn’t notice anything wrong.
A piece of the window glass was missing.
Xue Ying took out a thin tube as thick as a brush from nowhere, slid part of it through the window, and gently blew into it, emitting a puff of green Smoke from the other end.
It was Smoke. The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
She quietly waited outside for a few minutes, then tentatively knocked on the glass a few times.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The "person" sleeping on the bed showed no reaction, as if truly knocked out by the Smoke.
Xue Ying used her dagger to insert between the door gap and leveraged it upward.
The door bolt was picked off onto the ground.
Xue Ying pushed the door open and walked inside
Approaching the bed, she muttered softly,
"It seems you’re also a good person, but someone has paid for your life. I’m just here to do the job; I’ll make it quick for you."
As she spoke, she fiercely stabbed the bulging blanket with her dagger.
The blade went in softly, like piercing cotton.
She hesitated for a moment, then stabbed forcefully again, feeling something strange. Pulling out the dagger, she saw no blood on the blade.
"Something’s not right."
She pulled off the blanket, and the next moment, she was severely disappointed.
There was no one under the blanket, only a large pillow and a pile of old clothes.
"What happened, could he have sensed something?"
"Impossible, did I, did I give something away?"
Xue Ying was very puzzled, naturally not expecting that Zhang Xiaoshan had actually gone to have an affair.
Right at that moment, a shout came from outside.
Xue Ying wanted to run, but because she hadn’t closed the door when she entered, the person lifted the half-closed wooden door and walked in.
Xue Ying was as nervous as if facing a great enemy and turned frantically to face the door, planning to fight her way out.
But the next moment, she was stunned.
As the autumn wind blew the clouds away from the moon, a sliver of Moonlight fell upon the earth, illuminating the doorway reasonably well. Xue Ying clearly saw the appearance of the newcomer.
It was a middle-aged woman with a slightly plump body, wearing only a thin spaghetti strap nightgown, most notably characterized by a large behind, prominent like a grinding stone.
"Who, who is this lady?"
Xue Ying was confused, having initially thought Zhang Xiaoshan was setting a trap for her, and now she was baffled.
She stood rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do.
"Hehe, Little Shan, you’re still up so late, were you waiting for me?"
"Hehe, you’re sensible today. Let’s make it quick, aunty only needs one time, you just stay inside, and I’ll leave after."
Saying this, the woman unravelled her spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing her entire body, and lunged at Xue Ying like a ferocious wolf.
Still confused, Xue Ying was directly embraced by the woman and forcibly pushed onto the small bed behind her. Before she could react, the woman began to bite wildly and started tearing at Xue Ying’s clothes.
