Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 201 Collision of Two People in Beijing (6)
"Then I owe Cousin a favor," Jueqing said, feeling as if a weight had instantly been lifted from his heart upon hearing his cousin’s words.
"Hehehe, Cousin is being too formal with me," Feng Xuxu chuckled with her lips pursed.
"Alright, you should rest now; I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow to enter the palace," he said, realizing it was getting late and it wasn’t appropriate for him to stay much longer, so he stood up to bid his cousin farewell.
"Mmm, take care, Cousin," she watched as her cousin disappeared into the night, then turned to go back to her bedroom, took a hot bath, and finally lay down on the bed, drifting off to sleep.
No sooner had Dugu Chen arrived outside Feng Xuxu’s room than he was stopped by an assassin who watched him intently.
"Who are you?" Dugu Chen hadn’t expected such a skilled expert to be close to Feng Xuxu, as he hadn’t sensed the other’s presence at all.
The assassin continued to stare at Dugu Chen without a word.
Taking advantage of the assassin’s inattention, Dugu Chen attacked, delivering a palm strike to the assassin’s body; to his surprise, the assassin showed no reaction. At that moment, the assassin’s eyes slowly turned a crimson red and he began attacking Dugu Chen.
Yingsu and Baihe, hearing the commotion in the yard, hurriedly put on their shoes, grabbed their swords, and upon arriving, they saw their master fighting vigorously against a man in black. They immediately stepped forward to aid their master, but were quickly knocked down. The noise alarmed the guard, who ran to report to the Young Master. By the time Jueqing arrived, the two fighters were evenly matched and hard to separate; seeing Dugu Chen, Jueqing felt a surge of irritability swell within him.
Xiaobai, watching the heated fight outside from within a space, was internally jubilant, finally feeling the sweetness of revenge. How delightful Xiaobai felt! Yet, not satisfied with merely watching, he ran out of the space to join the spectators. Perched on the rooftop, he watched the two exchange punches and kicks, joyfully turning somersaults on the roof. "Aoooo..." He squinted his tiger eyes, bared his teeth in a grin, wagged his tail, and even his whiskers quivered with excitement.
Dugu Chen, hearing the sound, glanced over and saw his beloved pet watching the spectacle from the rooftop, which made the corner of his mouth twitch uncontrollably; agitated, he exerted greater force and flung the assassin to one side. At that moment, another assassin inside the house saw his companion getting launched, levitated out of the house, and struck at Dugu Chen.
Feng Xuxu, startled awake by the noise, got up, slipped on her clothes, lit an oil lamp, and then went out to the courtyard, only to find her own people fighting each other, with her cousin standing aside watching the excitement. She turned her head and realized there was more than one onlooker, including another on the rooftop.
"Stop it."
Seeing their master, the assassins immediately vanished behind her in a flash, their gaze still fixed on Dugu Chen.
"You all may go, this is a friend of mine and will not harm me," Feng Xuxu reassured the assassins behind her.
After hearing their master’s words, the two assassins disappeared in an instant. Jueqing approached with a mocking tone, "I never expected the Mesmerizing King to have a hobby of wall-climbing."
Dugu Chen, who was gazing affectionately at Feng Xuxu, countered irritably after being interrupted by Jueqing, "Compared to certain people’s thick-skinned behavior, my wall climbing is hardly worth mentioning," he retorted with a cold laugh.
"Dugu Chen, don’t be too presumptuous. This is an other residence of the Xuanyuan, not your Prince Residence!" Jueqing stepped forward, sword in hand, pointing at Dugu Chen.
"What, resorting to force because you can’t win the argument?" Dugu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Jueqing malevolently, still not taking a member of the Xuanyuan Hidden Clan seriously. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Do you both take me for dead?" Feng Xuxu glared at them malevolently.
"Little Xuxu." Dugu Chen immediately became subdued by Feng Xuxu’s words and reached out to embrace her.
With eyes turning a furious red, Jueqing stepped in front of Dugu Chen even faster, provoking him with his gaze.
"Move aside." The tenderness from a moment ago was gone, replaced by an icy voice from Dugu Chen that seemed to float towards Jueqing like a messenger from hell.
