Chapter 1: An Inexplicable Attack

Next Chapter

Great Xia Kingdom, the fifth year of Zhenxuan, the first day of the fifth month.

Xiangling Town.

The beautiful sunshine shines between the green tiles and red walls, the teahouses, taverns, workshops on both sides of the street, and countless small vendors, shouting, laughing, and lively, extending all the way to the suburbs of the city gate, all of which declare the prosperity of Xiangling Town.

But there is only one place, which is incompatible with this bustle, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.

It is an inn on the east side of Main Street, and business is good on weekdays, but today the door is locked.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

Qu Youying felt that this was not wrong at all.

At this moment, she was pressed on the bed, choked by the neck, and her life was in danger.

But she clearly remembered that she was still shopping not long ago, and then she broke off while shopping, and when she woke up, this was the situation.

"Y-Who are you?"

She grabbed those powerful arms and pulled them out desperately.

The man was slightly stunned, seeing that her eyes had changed, which was completely different from before, but he did not take it lightly.

"Forgot who I was so soon?"

The man smiled evilly, and the black hair scattered on his sides moved slightly, revealing a face that was half covered with dark spots and half shocked.

It is like hell and nine heavens, showing the two phenomena of extreme ugliness and extreme beauty.

"Why don't I let you know?"

Qu Youying saw him let go of a hand, slid down her neck, stopped on her clothes, grabbed it violently, and tore out a gap.

"You!"

Qu Youying instinctively let go of his hand to protect it, but he didn't know that he did it on purpose, and took the opportunity to tear off the hairpin on her head and aimed it at her.

"Since you don't promise me, then you can only die!"

He moved up and down with his hands, so fast.

She gasped, and the blood flowed backwards and became cold.

There was a sudden "bang", and the door was slammed open, and a vase shot straight inside from the door, approaching the person on the bed.

The man squinted his eyes and threw Qu Youying out violently.

"Help!"

Qu Youying flew in the air, and could only twist his body desperately to avoid facing the vase, but he didn't care about the person behind him, and while throwing her out, he threw the hairpin in his hand at her back.

The hairpin is sharp and the force is very accurate.

At this moment, a man in a dark coat quickly flew in from outside the door, interrupted the hairpin's attack, and caught the person flying over with one hand.

His thin lips, with a hint of redness, are topped by a tall nose, sword-like eyebrows slanting under the black hair of his sideburns, and sharp eyes, like a pool of stunning beauty, as far as the eye can see, but can clearly reflect your existence.

Dressed in black, he held a sword in his right hand, but it was difficult to hide the powerful aura emanating from his whole body, like the domineering spirit of the king, not angry but mighty.

Qu Youying looked at it, and then cried, hugging his neck and refusing to let go.

"Woo, Mu Jingzhu, you're finally here, I was almost killed, woo, it's terrible, you have to avenge me! Otherwise, I won't let you go......"

"Shut up!"

Mu Jingzhu heard her nagging, frowned slightly, lowered his eyebrows and glared at her fiercely, but saw that her clothes were not neat!

Immediately, a chill enveloped the whole body, and the eyes were sharp!

Mu Jingzhu protected the person behind him, and stood with a sword, facing the dangerous man standing beside the bed.

"Who are you?"

"Xiangling Town's god catches wood and candles, and he really has good skills."

The man was barefoot, his green hair falling down, and he stared at him with a smile on the corner of his lips.

He moved his wrist and smiled very casually, "It's almost enough to kill you!" What a pity. โ€

Hearing this, Qu Youying poked her head out of the crook of Mu Jingzhu's arm, "Why do you want to kill me?" โ€

The man looked at the clarity and inexplicability in her eyes, which were indeed completely different from before, but he was sure that she was right.

"Miss Qu, is this joking? Who else would it be if it weren't you? โ€

The man took advantage of his words to divert his attention, and threw a handful of things at them without a trace, and in an instant a thick fog burned in the room.

Qu Youying choked on that thing and coughed.

Mu Jingzhu stood still, his eyes were deep, the cold light under his eyes was wanton, his figure flashed, and he swung his sword directly at the man hiding in the thick fog, and the sword light struck people.

The man's eyes narrowed, and he rolled over, knowing that this person was not easy to deal with, so he could only give up his action for the time being and jump from the window.

Mu Jingzhu chased to the window, and the people who came and went on the street below had long since disappeared.

Qu Youying also walked towards the window, but Mu Jingzhu suddenly turned around and stared at her with a terrifying gaze.

She was so frightened by the look that she stopped her tracks, and when she saw him coming towards her, she stepped back in some panic.

"What are youโ€”what are you going to do?"
