The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 287 - 28: The Fallen Noble Lady
"Haven’t you found that black-haired, black-eyed girl yet?" Andophin’s tone was growing increasingly impatient.
"We’re already searching," Walter replied beside him.
...
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. At this time, Lou Sha and Tianmiao had reached a room not far from the northeastern corner according to their plan. She was dragging a knight’s corpse into the room. The attack was swift—the only knight who almost found them had his trachea cut before he could utter a sound.
"Just two more rooms and we’re there." Lou Sha wiped the sweat from her forehead and mentally reaffirmed her position. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Gradually, the cries and screams in this small corridor were becoming rare. One fresh life after another vanished in this twisted indulgence.
Lou Sha was about to push the door open to head to the next room when the sidelong corridor blaze made her swiftly duck back. Damn it, Andophin was already here.
The slight closing of the door made Andophin stop in his tracks, followed by a moment of silence. The flower sword pointed towards the room where Lou Sha and Tianmiao were hiding. The deathly still air was shattered by Andophin’s sharp shout: "The black-haired bitch is here! Open the door for me!"
Bang!
A knight forcefully pushed open the room where the two were hiding. When the firelight streamed in, the room was empty!
A great fury built up in Andophin’s chest. "Find them for me! There’re only a few rooms left!"
The knights quickly started searching other rooms.
Pressed against the hallway outside, Lou Sha took a deep breath. Thankfully, the moment she pushed the door, she and Tianmiao went out another door; there was still no one in this corridor.
Hearing the sound of high heels gradually moving away, Lou Sha and Tianmiao returned to the previous room.
After a moment of thought, Lou Sha pulled Tianmiao’s hand over, placed a dagger in her hand, and said, "Tianmiao, listen to me. We only have one chance and two minutes. I’m going to distract that old woman; the main door is in the hallway to the left. Trust me, I can come back alive, but you need to find a way to open that door within two minutes. Can you do it?"
Tianmiao didn’t hesitate for a second. She looked at Lou Sha and nodded: "Okay, I trust you. You’ll come back alive."
Lou Sha smiled at Tianmiao, bent down to pick up the sword from the slain knight’s hand, and turned to open the door, "Let’s wish us luck, my Eastern Princess."
The fast-running sound quickly drew Andophin and his subordinates’ attention, yet Lou Sha’s skills were always extraordinary. She agilely dodged attacks, able to quickly retaliate and take the lives of the knights chasing her.
One or two knights or nobles were nothing in Lou Sha’s eyes, but Andophin wasn’t foolish; more and more would come her way. She calculated the time mentally, holding complete faith in Tianmiao. As long as there was enough time. Her Eastern Princess was by no means as fragile as she appeared.
Sure enough, the scattered knights gradually gathered together, slowly approaching Lou Sha. This old woman was evidently desperate by now—she only wanted to do one thing: kill that Eastern woman.
When Lou Sha left, Tianmiao also moved. Tianmiao walked through the left corridor and ran straight into two knights. The two knights’ eyes burst with excitement. As long as they killed this Eastern girl, they would get the many, many gold coins promised by Duke Andophin.
