My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1673 - 1672: A Moment’s Decision

"You’ve become indecisive now. If I told you, would you have let me do it?"

The assassin reached up to remove the hood and a human skin mask from her face, revealing a head full of golden hair and a stunning face with azure eyes—it was Ruisi.

"I really wouldn’t have let you do it. What you did was too dangerous. If I hadn’t stepped in, you would’ve died today."

Tang Ming sat on the ground, frustrated. He had thought of Ruisi’s hiding place earlier than Dong Changxing and the others.

He knew very well Ruisi’s skills in disguise and camouflage, and that pretending to be a corpse to kill silently was the most perfect hiding method.

But the entire estate was covered with surveillance cameras at the time, and Tang Ming had no way to silently sneak in to find Ruisi, so he could only wait for a chance to rescue her.

When he heard the explosion at the ancestral hall, Tang Ming’s first thought was that Ruisi had perished together with the enemy.

Once the crowd had withdrawn, he immediately headed to the ancestral hall to look for traces of Ruisi, only to find Ruisi breaking through on the other side. He hurried to catch up, managing to arrive at the critical moment.

"Hehe, but I didn’t die, did I?"

Ruisi jumped into Tang Ming’s arms. "I thought after you returned to your country, your strength would be greatly reduced. I had no idea you would be this powerful. You defeated so many people on your own. You’re amazing, my man."

"Stop flattering me."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Ruisi, yet couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. "Even I didn’t expect to be this strong."

"But why didn’t you kill those people? With your current power, you should be able to wipe them out, right?"

Ruisi wrapped her arms around Tang Ming’s neck, asking in puzzlement.

"I’m not like you, I don’t have such a strong desire to kill, and this is within our country. You know who those people are—each of them has powerful backing. If I really killed them all, things would spiral out of control."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and sighed. "Also, my martial arts strain me heavily. If it draws more skilled fighters, we’d be in real trouble."

"I see."

Ruisi nodded in sudden understanding.

"By the way, you’ve improved quickly too. You can summon an Energy Angel, do the Dark Church people know?"

Tang Ming looked at Ruisi with a face full of curiosity.

"So what if they know? Whoever dares to provoke me, I’ll kill them."

Ruisi sneered dismissively.

"Haha, you’re impressive!"

Tang Ming chuckled awkwardly, then looked at Ruisi seriously. "In any case, you can’t stay in the country. You must leave Huaxia immediately."

"Why? I haven’t exposed my identity."

Ruisi protested discontentedly.

"Your identity as a powerful outsider has already been noted. I’m certain that starting tomorrow, all foreigners in the Imperial City will be under surveillance, and with you appearing by my side, any moment you could be exposed."

Tang Ming sighed. "If you get exposed, my identity will be finished too."

"Then let’s join forces and cause chaos everywhere."

Ruisi chuckled nonchalantly. "At worst, we’ll die together, and we can become a pair of runaway lovers."

"Come on, I haven’t lived enough. If you want to die, you can go die by yourself."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes. "Go overseas! I’ll head overseas sometime too, and we can meet then."

"You’re not lying to me, are you?"

Ruisi looked skeptically at Tang Ming.

"When have I ever lied to you? I promise I’ll go overseas in a while."

Tang Ming expressed firmly, "You leave first, or staying here will be too dangerous."

"Alright then, I’ll listen to you."

Ruisi thought for a moment. With things getting this serious, indeed, it was better to make a run for it and lie low.

"Since we’re about to part, we must enjoy some intimate time, otherwise we might not have the chance later."

Ruisi let go of Tang Ming, then started taking off her clothes.

"Here?"

Tang Ming glanced around, noting they were in the wild.

"There’s no one else here, what are you afraid of? I miss you."

Ruisi stripped and lunged at Tang Ming.

An hour later, Tang Ming lay on the ground with Ruisi in his arms, looking at the sky full of stars, feeling satisfied and content.

"Would you mind that I’ve been taken advantage of by many people?"

Ruisi held Tang Ming tightly, eyes filled with sadness.

"Don’t overthink it, those are things of the past. You’re just too kind."

Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly embraced Ruisi.

"If only I had met you sooner."

Ruisi sighed sorrowfully.

"Haha, if we knew each other earlier, I might not have been able to change your beliefs, you were brainwashed into a fool."

Tang Ming laughed wryly.

The first time he met Ruisi, he was shocked by this woman’s foolishness and naivety. If not for the series of events that followed, he couldn’t have pulled this woman from hell in paradise.

"True, that’s fate."

Ruisi nodded, then dressed. "I’m leaving, take good care of yourself, and keep in touch. If anything happens to you, I’ll kill everyone who knows you, including your friends and women."

"Hey, no need to go that far, right?"

Tang Ming looked at Ruisi with a helpless expression.

"Goodbye."

Ruisi smiled, turned gracefully, and disappeared into the night.

"An angel or a devil, it’s just a thought away!"

Tang Ming sighed and lay back on the ground, reflecting on the earlier battle scenes.

When he charged in to rescue Ruisi, he mustered all his courage, facing three Nine-star Martial Masters and a bunch of Eight-star Martial Masters, not having any confidence.

But he didn’t expect the power of the old madman’s Huaxia Secret Technique to be so great, directly defeating those people.

Tang Ming refrained from using his own martial arts to hide his identity, but he couldn’t think of a suitable method at the time, so he resorted to the Huaxia Secret Technique he had just learned, and even he was startled by the results.

"No wonder the old madman boasted about how impressive he was back then. This Huaxia Secret Technique is truly terrifying."

Tang Ming gazed at the stars, filled with heroism. "Ruisi’s Energy Angel rivals a Half-step Martial General, yet she narrowly escaped death facing their siege, whereas I defeated them all—it’s simply unimaginable."

"Although I nearly exhausted all the energy in one of my dantians, the result is still very satisfying."

Tang Ming sat up, cultivated his internal energy to check his condition, and indeed the True Qi in his Dantian was completely depleted.

This was also why he fled in time, otherwise according to the old madman’s words, he should have eliminated everyone who witnessed the Huaxia Secret Technique.

But knowing he hadn’t exposed his identity or appearance, Tang Ming no longer worried. His primary goal was to save people, and for those unrelated, he had no desire to become a murderer.
