She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 342 - 341 Holding Sister’s Hand, We Go Home
Chapter 342: Chapter 341 Holding Sister’s Hand, We Go Home
"Disaster! The beasts are out of control!" A servant at the entrance cried out in terror, but after running just a few steps, a leopard struck him down with a swipe of its paw, instantly severing his head from his body!
Yan Wanqing, clutching Yan Lingzhen, swiftly retreated, but the ravenous beasts were not about to overlook such a delicate feast, advancing with glowing eyes step by step.
The distinguished guests atop the watchtower were now scared out of their wits.
"City Lord, how on earth do you manage these wild beasts? Down there is the esteemed Commandery Princess Anping. If even a single hair on her head is harmed, you’ll find it impossible to walk away unscathed this time!"
The City Lord’s face was a picture of sincere fear, but his eyes hid a deep darkness.
If the Commandery Princess Anping left without a scratch, it would be his City Lord Residence’s staff who would not be able to walk away unscathed.
At that moment, he could only hope that the two sisters would die right there in the Beast Arena!
In that case, no one would come after them for the crime of throwing the Duke’s daughters into the Beast Arena to be toyed with by the creatures.
Harboring his own calculations, the City Lord responded to the urging of others by pretending to be flustered, "Chen Di, how on earth do you handle things! Quickly call someone to rescue the princess!"
Chen Di’s face was pale, his eyes fierce, "Father, our men are already down there!"
But they were not there to rescue, they were there to kill amidst the chaos.
Having decided to make the lethal move, they were resolved not to let Yan Wanqing and Yan Lingzhen leave alive.
By now, the beasts could no longer restrain themselves and lunged at the Yan sisters. One or two beasts might have been manageable, but as their numbers grew, Yan Wanqing gradually began to struggle.
She sustained an injury on her shoulder.
The smell of blood only made the wild beasts howl even more frantically.
Shen Shuyun stood atop the watchtower on the verge of madness. She saw that the City Lord’s subordinates were merely frolicking with the beasts, and lifting her skirts, she began to run down.
"Piji, Piji! Quick, save the Miss!" Shen Shuyun cried as she ran.
She knew that Hidden Guards were always following Yan Wanqing, but she didn’t know exactly how many.
Yet no matter how much she shouted, she saw no sign of Piji or Hong Wu.
Shen Shuyun cried out in despair, as she reached the very edge amid the astonished cries of onlookers, Cong Ge unable to hold her back.
"Listen to me, Miss would not put herself in danger!" Cong Ge, disregarding the peril, stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Shen Shuyun’s waist, whispering to her.
Shen Shuyun’s face showed urgency, "But the Miss is injured!"
Could the injury be fake?
Her entire arm was stained red with blood from a tiger’s claw; was this what Cong Ge meant by not putting herself in danger?
Cong Ge held her waist tight, comforting her, "Don’t rush forward and add to the Miss’s trouble. When the Miss can no longer hold on, there will naturally be someone to rescue her."
"...Really?" Was Yan Wanqing that reckless?
Facing danger, not seeking to escape first, but to hold on by herself and only call for help when she could no longer bear it?
Shen Shuyun was completely befuddled.
Seeing her stabilize, Cong Ge sighed and said, "Come with me, I’ll explain the complicated situation to you."
Shen Shuyun watched Yan Wanqing, being surrounded by the beasts, and then was pulled away by Cong Ge.
Was the relationship between master and servant really this fickle?
Yan Wanqing’s arm was bleeding profusely!
Cong Ge, are you blind? Usually, you agonize for ages over a mere needle poke to Yan Wanqing, but today her arm is mauled by a tiger, and you’re acting as if nothing’s wrong... Is this reasonable?
Shen Shuyun felt her mind wasn’t working properly.
Meanwhile, Yan Wanqing had already killed two lions and a tiger, now panting heavily, the arm cradling Yan Lingzhen beginning to weaken.
With a resigned sigh, she admitted to herself.
She really didn’t want to expose Stormy Building in such a situation.
But truly she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Yan Wanqing heaved a soft sigh and thrust her long sword into the earth beside her.
"Why has the Commandery Princess dropped her sword! Is she giving up?"
"Where is the Young Marquis?! As the Commandery Princess’s fiance, how can he stand idly by in such a critical moment!"
"The Marquis Residence’s Marchioness had a fright from falling into the water yesterday, and the Young Marquis hasn’t come today; if he had, he surely wouldn’t have let the Commandery Princess fall into danger."
"How pitiable, a peerless beauty about to perish in the jaws of a wild beast... What a tragic sigh of despair!"
Everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of such a bloody scene.
Only the City Lord and his son, Chen Di, exuded a sense of relief from head to toe.
If Yan Wanqing were to die.
Then this matter would be considered closed.
Just as everyone held their breath, awaiting the final moment, they saw Yan Wanqing’s lips move.
She seemed to be muttering something.
Suddenly, countless shadows leaped from the watchtower.
These shadows moved with incredible speed, and amid the shocked cries of the onlookers, the fierce beasts lunging at Yan Wanqing were instantly chopped into pieces!
So terrifying—!
What power was this?!
Everyone was astounded! Princess Anping had such a fearsome team hidden by her side!
"It is, it is, Stormy Building!" someone recognized the swordplay of those in black; it was clearly Stormy Building’s unique "Mountain Rain Coming, Wind Sweeping Building"!
"What?!" Chen Di turned pale when he heard this.
He clutched Chen Wei’s hand tightly: "Father!"
"Hold steady." The City Lord’s voice trembled slightly as he placed his hand on Chen Di’s hand.
The end was not yet here; there might still be a sliver of hope.
The black-clad figures came swiftly and left just as quickly; soon, all the wild animals in the Beast Arena had been hunted down. From beginning to end, Yan Wanqing had been sitting on the ground, hugging Yan Lingzhen, and the frenzied beasts had never come within a meter of them!
Now, the Beast Arena was a river of blood, leaving only the City Lord’s subordinates standing there, shivering. Only those who had been through this massacre could truly appreciate the horror of Stormy Building!
They were incredibly fast and merciless with their swords—deserving of being called the number one assassin organization in the world!
At that moment, Yan Lingzhen’s voice faintly emerged as she opened her eyes in Yan Wanqing’s embrace, "...Sister."
Yan Wanqing reached out a hand to rub her little head: "You’re awake?"
"Mm." Yan Lingzhen looked around, and the intelligent girl immediately understood what had just happened.
"It’s good you’re awake," Yan Wanqing said, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.
Then someone walked over, wiping a bloodstained object on their clothes over and over, revealing its original appearance, and handed it to Yan Wanqing.
"Commandery, Commandery Princess... Your item."
It was a token.
The thing that Yan Wanqing had used in desperation to blind the tiger’s eyes.
Engraved on it were the characters "Fengyu"!
This was the rumored Fengyu Order!
A token that could command all Stormy Building’s assassins to fight to the death, it was said that only the leader of the organization possessed this token!
The person’s hands were trembling.
Yan Wanqing regarded him indifferently and took the token from his hands, "Thank you."
She had not expected Stormy Building to fully expose itself in front of the public under such circumstances.
No matter, she now feared no one’s scrutiny.
"Can Xiaoliu come down now?" Yan Wanqing asked softly.
Yan Lingzhen nodded, climbing down obediently.
"Hold your sister’s hand." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The sisters intertwined their hands, and Yan Wanqing’s clear voice resonated across the Beast Arena.
"Let’s go home."
