She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 162: The Sword Wielder

Everyone standing near the cliff couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement.

Skinny Monkey had another rope lowered down.

Jie Chen pushed Xiang Ying first: "Get her up there first."

He secured Xiang Ying’s position with the rope.

The people above took charge of pulling.

Zhao Bingyang, who had been silent all this while, was suddenly nearby.

While everyone was concerned about whether Xiang Ying and the others were safely up, Zhao Bingyang suddenly rushed over.

He took a blade he had found and severed one of the ropes!

As he attempted to continue his act, he was tackled and wrestled to the ground by Lu Feiyi, who reacted first.

However, the rope Zhao Bingyang cut was the one holding Skinny Monkey.

In the nick of time, Skinny Monkey was grabbed by Xiang Ying, avoiding the fate of plummeting down the cliff.

Terrified, he shivered violently, staring at the abyss below as the fragmented rocks fell, crying out hysterically.

"Sister-in-law! You must hold onto me, I’m the only child in my family! I can’t die here!"

Xiang Ying clenched her teeth: "Stop talking nonsense, hold on tight to me!"

Actually, she was already feeling somewhat strained.

Jie Chen in the cave could be of no help, just frowning and feeling anxious.

"Monkey, jump down, I’ll catch you!"

He had already extended his hand.

But Skinny Monkey became even more frightened and clung tightly to Xiang Ying’s arm.

His tears were about to fly out: "Vice General, you can’t just care about Sister-in-law’s life! If I jump down... I have to stay alive to do it!"

He didn’t dare to do something as careless as meeting King Yan.

Jie Chen frowned and scolded: "If you don’t let go, neither of you will live."

Skinny Monkey was at the brink of tears.

He now clearly saw that the Vice General was a man who’d abandon loyalty for the sake of lust!

Xiang Ying instead said: "Monkey, don’t let go, I’ll have them throw down another rope."

"Okay, okay, okay." Sister-in-law was the one who truly cared!

Xiang Ying shouted loudly, and before long, another rope was thrown down, and Skinny Monkey quickly reached out to grab it.

Unexpectedly, a burst of icy chill accompanied by flying snow struck him, stabbing his eyes.

Skinny Monkey instinctively tried to shield himself from the winds and snow but forgot that he still needed to grab onto the rope.

He felt his body suddenly become weightless!

Xiang Ying watched with wide eyes as he slid off the rope.

"Monkey!" She exclaimed in shock.

Skinny Monkey thought it was over, that he was certain to die.

After all, he couldn’t escape the fate of falling off the cliff.

If he had known, he would have had Acid Scholar take his place!

However, the sensation of falling stopped mid-air.

He was firmly caught by a pair of strong arms.

Skinny Monkey curled up, like a frightened girl, and slowly opened his eyes.

Jie Chen had actually caught him.

After the initial fright, Skinny Monkey was overwhelmed with relief from having survived the ordeal.

He hugged Jie Chen’s neck and cried out loud: "Vice General, thank goodness for you, I knew your skills were impeccable!"

Jie Chen furrowed his brow and said coldly: "Get off."

He needed to support Xiang Ying to prevent her from exhausting too much, and now his arms were starting to feel a bit sore.

Skinny Monkey wiped his tears and climbed off him.

Looking up, Xiang Ying had already been pulled up.

Following that, the rope was lowered again and Xiang Ying leaned out and shouted: "Jie Chen, Shouhou, you must hold on tight!"

The edge of the cliff was about the height of a five-story building from the cave on the precipice.

Because of the recent mishap, Skinny Monkey had developed a fear in his heart.

He looked at Jie Chen with hope: "Vice General, can you carry me on your back?"

Mainly, he was too scared to grab the rope himself, afraid he might tremble and fall again.

Jie Chen always had a way of making people feel secure.

However, after tying the rope around his waist, Jie Chen just gave him a cold glance, as if looking at an idiot.

"No."

Skinny Monkey silently sniffed his nose.

Okay then! He would climb up by himself!

Brave monkey isn’t afraid of difficulties.

Before he climbed up, the monkey smelled a strange fragrance.

It particularly resembled the scent of food, he turned his head to look towards the cave, seeming to also find traces of cooked rice.

But, as Jie Chen urged him to keep up, Skinny Monkey quickly dismissed the suspicion that had just emerged.

Xiang Ying was already surrounded by the children and Tao Xue and the others.

Seventh Princess wrapped her arms around her neck, weeping loudly: "God bless, thank goodness Big Sister is alright!"

Xiang Ying smiled: "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, you shouldn’t be crying, you should be smiling for me instead!"

It was only then that the people around squeezed out smiles that looked even uglier than tears.

Suddenly, she heard a muffled grunt nearby.

Xiang Ying turned her head and saw Zhao Bingyang covering his head, beaten until the ground was covered in fresh blood he spat out.

Lu Feiyi and several water bandits were hitting him with fists and feet.

"Take that for your underhanded trick, bastard!" spat a water bandit.

They were all men of the jianghu, despising those who resort to such vile means.

Lu Feiyi even began to harbor some killing intent, as he drew a knife and aimed it straight at Zhao Bingyang’s throat.

At this moment, Xiang Ying’s voice rang out: "Wait."

Lu Feiyi looked back and meeting her gaze found a trace of sanity.

"Boss, are you okay?" His voice paused a bit.

Xiang Ying pursed her lips: "I’m fine."

Unable to help himself, Lu Feiyi took two steps forward and silently embraced her.

This completely stupefied Xiang Ying.

Even Tao Xue and the others behind her who were watching this scene, and the three little ones slightly opened their mouths in surprise.

What’s happening?

This scene was also witnessed by Jie Chen who had just climbed up along the rope.

His thin eyes immediately fell into an endless abyss, a cold chill surfacing.

Lu Feiyi let go of Xiang Ying: "It’s good you’re okay, it’s good you’re alive."

Xiang Ying looked at him suspiciously: "Lu Feiyi, are you okay?"

He looked as if he was scared stiff.

They had only known each other for how long? Yet, he’s behaving as if she were a companion through life and death.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Xiang Ying always felt he was hiding something.

But Lu Feiyi said: "Out here, the last thing I want to see is a brother falling, I’ve already seen the boss as one of our own, so, I don’t want to lose someone as outstanding as you... Boss."

So that was the reason.

It made sense.

After all, every time Xiang Ying had something to eat, she would share with the water bandits.

Lu Feiyi was one of the water bandits, truly a man of temperament.

She generously put an arm around his shoulder, smiling cheerfully: "I’m not that easy to kill."

As Lu Feiyi smiled, his gaze caught a glimpse of the slightly raised collar of her clothing and the red marks on her neck.

Trailing lower, there seemed to be a mix of charm.

His eyes darkened, looking up at Xiang Ying’s face.

Then, Jie Chen came over, naturally passing between her and Lu Feiyi. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Forcefully separating the two.

He didn’t even glance at them, just staring at Zhao Bingyang on the ground, a cold glare cast towards Lu Feiyi.

"What’s wrong with him?"

Lu Feiyi felt as if he could sense the killing intent suddenly wrapping around Jie Chen.

He, a traveler of the jianghu, was especially sensitive to such auras and intentions.

One can’t hide what lies at the bottom of the eyes when harbouring dangerous thoughts.

Lu Feiyi paused, then said: "Zhao Bingyang just tried to cut the rope, attempting to kill Xiang Ying. I’ve already taught him a lesson."

Zhao Bingyang stared at Xiang Ying, his teeth clenched in wrath: "As long as I live, I’ll find a chance to kill you, Xiang Ying, if you have the guts, kill me..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp sword suddenly plunged into his chest.

Xiang Ying was stunned.

She had intended to handle it herself, who had preempted her?

Following the gaze up, the one holding the sword, was Jie Chen.
