Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 135: Two whips

Qin Zhao heard this and was stunned for a moment.

In her heart, she marveled at Qi Yan Su Luo's guts!

But the small world did not show any signs of collapse, which meant the male lead was not dead yet.

Qin Zhao asked in her mind: "502, how is Huo Chengjin?"

502 replied: "The female lead stabbed the left chest cavity of the male lead, but his heart is in the right chest cavity.

He narrowly escaped death, but likely won't be able to recover to his previous physical condition due to the excessive blood loss."

"Heh heh, who cares if he becomes weak or not, as long as he still has half his life left so my mission does not fail."

Although Qin Zhao was relieved that Qi Yan Su Luo did not stab Huo Chengjin to death, she was also somewhat disappointed.

After all, who wouldn't want that sleazy male lead to die sooner?

If her mission was not to save the small world, there would be no need for Qi Yan Su Luo to make a move. She would have given him a satisfying stab the first time they met!

Leaving aside her complicated thoughts, Qin Zhao said to Qi Yan Su Luo: "You did very well, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Qi Yan Su Luo's face was expressionless as water as she replied, "He is an important minister of the court. If people find out he was killed by me, or rather someone from your residence, it would definitely bring you trouble."

"Don't worry, perhaps he is not even dead.

Even if he really died, I would handle this matter properly.

Just stay by my side at ease."

Soon after, Nangong Ling arrived. Seeing the mess all around, she was calm and unhurried.

She said to Qin Zhao: "My lord, please go to another room. I will have people clean up here."

Qin Zhao released Qi Yan Su Luo and pulled her up to leave.

She said to Nangong Ling: "Thank you. Please bring us two sets of clean clothes and shoes, men's clothing."

"Alright my lord, please wait a moment."

Qin Zhao found another private room and sat at the table with Qi Yan Su Luo.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A maidservant brought the clothes to Qin Zhao and left.

The two changed into the clothes, and Qin Zhao bundled up the bloodstained clothes and shoes.

Nangong Ling's voice sounded from outside the door, "My lord, may I come in?"

Qin Zhao replied: "Come in."

Nangong Ling entered and closed the door behind her. She said, "My lord, please be at ease. I will make sure the people at Spring Breeze Building seal their lips about today's events."

Qin Zhao handed her the bundle of clothes and said, "Please help me burn these."

Nangong Ling took it and casually tossed it aside. She asked, "Does my lord want to leave now?"

"Yes, it's about time to return to the residence after being out for so long."

"Let me escort you."

Qin Zhao noticed that Nangong Ling did not even glance at Qi Yan Su Luo, and her words only referred to herself alone.

And Qi Yan Su Luo also rarely paid any attention to Nangong Ling.

Why was this so?

Could this be the subtle rivalry between these two peerless beauties?

Seeing who could refrain from looking at the other?

It was quite difficult indeed. Qin Zhao was using both eyes at once, and it made her dizzy.

The three left Spring Breeze Building together, when suddenly they heard the sound of galloping hooves approaching recklessly!

Seeing that Nangong Ling was still walking ahead and likely to collide with the reckless rider, Qin Zhao immediately pulled her back!

Next came a crisp snap, and Qin Zhao only felt her arm go numb!

In a flash, a long red mark wound around her arm like a crimson snake!

Seeing this, Qi Yan Su Luo and Nangong Ling simultaneously pulled Qin Zhao back.

Enveloped by their auras, Qin Zhao felt a little lightheaded.

The rider lashed the whip again, but was unable to strike now that she was shielded.

The person shouted loudly: "Who are you?"

Qin Zhao regained her senses and saw that the person on horseback wore red clothes and a light veil over their face, wielding a bony whip up and down, giving off an imposing aura!

Qin Zhao replied: "I'm just a nobody, when did I ever provoke you?

Giving me such a huge surprise right off the bat, what is the meaning of this?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously took two steps forward, giving the woman in red a chance to whip her again!

Qin Zhao's arm could not withstand the heavy blow and began to bleed.

And the previously calm and breezy woman in red suddenly changed expression, clutching her chest and falling off the horse!

Just then, Meng Huilan walked out of the front door of Spring Breeze Building and happened to witness this scene. Calling out the name of the woman in red, she rushed straight towards her!

Meng Huilan knelt down and took the woman into her embrace, crying out: "Yin Xuan, what's wrong?!"

Qin Zhao endured the pain and asked: "Meng Huilan, do you know her?"

Meng Huilan replied: "She is the number one on the national fugitive list, Yin Xuan."

Qin Zhao had been whipped by Yin Xuan and was angry, but could not just leave her to die. She squatted down to take Yin Xuan's pulse.

Qi Yan Su Luo and Nangong Ling also gathered around.

Nangong Ling remarked: "As expected, she has changed her face again."

But Meng Huilan said: "This is her true appearance."

Without hesitation, Nangong Ling ripped off her veil!

A youthful yet otherworldly beautiful face was revealed before everyone.

Qin Zhao found it unbelievable that such a person would whip her for no reason.

Nangong Ling sighed: "I didn't expect her to be quite pretty."

Meng Huilan asked: "Miss Qin, what's wrong with her physically that caused her to faint?"

Qin Zhao replied: "She fainted from heartache and pain.

But from her pulse, I don't detect any hidden illness. Her body is very healthy."

"That's odd then."

Just as Meng Huilan was puzzled, Yin Xuan opened her eyes.

Upon seeing Qin Zhao, her heart began hurting again!

Yin Xuan's brows furrowed deeply as she painfully spat out a few words: "Just who are you?"

"My name is Qin Zhao. You probably don't know me."

"Qin Zhao...Qin Zhao..." Yin Xuan repeated her name, as if suddenly realizing something. She declared: "You are Qin Zhao!"

"Oh, so you do know me?"

"I don't know you."

Yin Xuan's tone abruptly turned icy cold. "But I hate you!"

Qin Zhao took two steps back and said: "I don't know why you hate me, we'll put that aside for now.

First explain why you whipped me for no reason."

Yin Xuan looked up at Nangong Ling, then swiftly turned her face away. Stuttering, she said: "Y-You cannot touch her in the future!"

Qin Zhao understood - this person was in love with Nangong Ling!

Pretending not to understand, she asked: "Which 'her' are you referring to?"

Yin Xuan quickly blurted out: "Nangong Ling!"

"Oh, what does it have to do with me if you like her? She's still my friend.

It's normal for friends to have casual contact.

You'll just have to endure it."

Yin Xuan yelled: "If you dare touch her casually, don't blame me for killing you!"

After saying this, she fainted again!

And the expression frozen on her face was even more anguished than last time!

Qin Zhao vaguely sensed something...

Nangong Ling's face was red with embarrassment. Somewhat awkwardly, she said: "My lord, why must you use such vulgar words?

What's all this about her liking me? She probably just sees me as a sister."

Qin Zhao found Nangong Ling's reaction quite amusing.

As a courtesan, she was actually completely clueless about love. How innocent!

Qin Zhao sidled up to her and jokingly said: "Oh my, shy are we?

Let me tell you, you're totally oblivious...
