Chapter 63: The Duan Clan! Bizarre!
Fang Han was secretly puzzled, yet he had no idea that Mu Wanqing had already long assumed that he had seen her true appearance.
Since the oath had been broken, naturally there was no further need for her to wear a veil.
Only…
In the end, she was caught in a situation where she did not know what to do.
Mu Wanqing stared blankly at Fang Han, lost in thought.
Her heart was a tangle of confusion.
At one moment, she thought about how this man had just saved her life again. If she added that to the previous time, then that was two lives he had saved her from—it seems I truly cannot avoid marrying him.
At another moment, she thought, but he already has a wife, so how could he marry me? Why must the affairs of this world be so hard!
The young girl Zhong Ling came forward, supporting Mu Wanqing with concern and asked: “Sister Mu, are you alright?”
“No, no problem…”
Mu Wanqing awakened as if from a dream, lightly shook her head, and turned to Fang Han, saying: “Thank you for saving me.”
Just now, Yun Zhonghe had exposed his own identity; she had clearly heard it while inside the room.
Over these years of wandering the jianghu, she had vaguely heard of the infamous reputation of Qiongxiong Jier Yun Zhonghe.
Knowing that man’s filthy intentions, she felt an urge to vomit, hating that she could not immediately seize the mechanical trigger and shoot him dead with a poisoned arrow!
Only, she was still barely recovered from her grave injuries. Her whole body was weak and depleted; if she went out, she feared she would only add to the chaos and hinder matters, leaving her hesitant.
Now that Fang Han had slain Yun Zhonghe, she could not help but feel that he had saved her life once again.
No matter how cold and aloof her temperament, in facing Fang Han, her icy shell could not help but melt. Her heart was filled with gratitude.
The words she spoke came out slightly softened.
Yet in the end, having grown accustomed to speaking coldly, it still seemed unnatural.
Fang Han suppressed his astonishment and gently nodded, saying: “No need. Miss Mu has only just recovered from grave injuries, it is better that you rest well.”
Having said this, he reached down to grab Ye Erniang’s corpse, then walked over to lift Yun Zhonghe’s body as well.
At this moment, Fang Han’s inner strength was so profound that although he could not yet fully wield it, with just a little effort, the weight of two corpses was nothing at all.
In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished into the dense forest.
By the time he returned to the courtyard, the three young women had already gone back into their rooms.
Fang Han entered as well. Cheng Lingsu rose to greet him, her expression faintly solemn, and said: “Brother Fang, I fear this place will no longer be safe.”
The Four Great Evildoers numbered four in total!
Now that Wu’e Buzuo (Does No Evil Deed Uncommitted) and Qiongxiong Jier (Excessively Cruel and Vicious) had already been slain, the other two would surely not let the matter rest.
If they were to pursue and come here…
By then, this courtyard would no longer remain peaceful and serene.
Hearing this, Fang Han grew serious as well.
The truth was, he was far from the level of being able to act recklessly.
Even if he had killed two of them, it did not mean the remaining two could be ignored.
Strictly speaking, this recent battle had contained a fair bit of “water” (meaning advantage taken from circumstance).
Yun Zhonghe had been careless, losing the initiative. Later, when he saw Ye Erniang fall, he had been startled and thrown into panic, which allowed Fang Han to pierce his heart with a single strike.
As for Ye Erniang, she had been subdued before even starting.
If it had been a proper fight, Ye Erniang’s martial arts were still a notch above Yun Zhonghe’s. Fang Han could rely on his lightness skill to gain the upper hand, but whether he could defeat her so easily was far from certain.
Had the two joined forces and fought in coordination, the situation would have been far different.
Fang Han could win, but whether he could kill them both was doubtful.
Now looking at the remaining Evildoers: E’guan Manying (Evil Overflows) Duan Yanqing and Xiongshen Esha (Fierce Demon Fiend) Yue Laosan.
But in terms of overall combat power, he dared not claim to be his equal.
He would still need to treat him with caution.
That said, cautious was cautious—but it was not as though he was overly nervous.
Glancing at Cheng Lingsu’s worried face, Fang Han smiled and joked: “Lingsu, if I cannot defeat that villain, then you will have to rescue me!”
Though spoken lightly, it was not entirely a joke.
With Miss Cheng’s poison skills, if she were to act without restraint, forget Duan Yanqing—even Qiao Feng would have to kneel.
As long as one did not possess a “Hundred Poisons Immunity” body, facing Cheng Lingsu’s invisible, soundless, omnipresent poison, no matter how high your martial arts, death by poison was only a matter of time.
In fact…
Having cultivated the Qixin Haitang (Seven-Heart Begonia), should she wield its most lethal toxins, who under Heaven could resist?
Only Fang Han, having swallowed the Zhuhalingdan (Scarlet Toad Elixir), possessed Hundred Poisons Immunity and could ignore such things.
Otherwise, even he would be helpless before her poison.
Zhong Ling, hearing this, thought of how Ye Erniang had collapsed earlier without even realizing she had been poisoned. Such skill was unlike anything she had ever seen or heard of. She secretly nodded, deeply agreeing.
But in her heart, she still felt that with her Big Brother’s martial arts, it would likely never even come to needing Sister Cheng’s help.
Cheng Lingsu only pursed her lips into a smile, understanding his true intent.
Mu Wanqing, watching quietly at the interaction between Fang Han and Cheng Lingsu, felt a faint irritation and discomfort in her heart.
Then, Zhong Ling suddenly spoke: “Big Brother, since this place is no longer safe, why don’t we go to my home? My home is not far from here~”
Fang Han looked at her strangely.
Little girl, do you know that these people were invited here by your cheap father Zhong Wanqiu? If we go to your home, we may well run right into them.
But then again, at this moment, they had no idea that Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe were already dead. Even if they did encounter them, it would not be too dangerous.
By contrast, if they stayed here, it was more likely they would be tracked down.
