Rebirth - The Blood Demon Empress Chapter 64: Brilliant Like the Stars (Second Update)

  "Lu Hu, Qin Jin, you two follow later, I'll go ahead first." As soon as Situ Wusuo's voice fell, a cold wind swept by, leaving only a few residual shadows.

  He sprinkled the cold powder given by Wuyang on that person's body, and the eagle in his hand, after special training, was extremely sensitive to smells, as long as it followed the smell, it would definitely find where that person was.

  "Yes." The two of them exchanged a glance, and it was clear that the answer was spoken to thin air. There was no sign of Situ Wushuang anywhere in sight.

  "Lu Hu, let's see who can move faster." Qin Jin rarely showed a smile, and compared to his usual deadpan expression, he looked more like a human being at this moment.

  "Hey, you actually broke the rules and ran ahead of me!" Lu Hu shouted loudly as he chased after him with all his might. He was not going to lose to Qin Jin, that wooden stick.

  A majestic eagle soars in the sky, Xī Tū Wú Shuāng darts between the trees, like a phantom, swift and agile, making people wonder if they've seen a fleeting illusion, leaving nothing but an empty forest.

  When leaving the imperial palace, the eagle led him to the vicinity of the three major buildings. Just as they arrived at the market, the eagle suddenly changed direction and led them towards the forest outside the city.

  "Who are you?" Blood Wei shot out from her hand and struck the black-clad man's face, disrupting his footsteps.

  Worrying about the bloodthirsty enemy, struggling to cope with the powerful attack, dodging and weaving in an unusually awkward manner, if one is slightly careless, a shallow wound will be cut on their waist, the cold blade slicing through hair like mud.

  "You have nothing to do with him, why are you interfering?" His hand covered the wound on his waist, and blood stained his palm.

  "Are you referring to Situ Wushuang?" A smile that couldn't be concealed spread from the corner of her mouth, and Leng Zixue's eyes sparkled with amusement. She was confident that if she really wanted to take him down, she had at least an 80% chance of succeeding.

  He is skilled in using poison, but his martial arts skills are not high. How he escaped from Situ Wushuang's hands is indeed thought-provoking.

  Astonished in her heart, how did she know? Her mind turned and she made up her mind to escape. He began to take the initiative to attack, leaving her was a disaster, it must be eliminated.

  "It doesn't matter whether it is or isn't, it has nothing to do with you." The two figures, one black and one red, clashed fiercely, each refusing to yield to the other.

  In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, You Kuai was clearly no match for Leng Ziyue. Close combat was Leng Ziyue's strong suit, with swift and deadly accuracy. A seemingly simple yet useless move often turned out to be the most fatal blow.

  His right fist struck the left chest of You Gui, his left leg hooked onto his knee, and with a gentle pull forward, his left hand delivered a hook punch straight to his face. Finally, his right leg kicked hard into his abdomen, using force to kick him away. The continuous movements flowed like clouds and water, floating and fluttering like the wind, lightly landing on the ground.

  A surge of blood and energy, a huge mouthful of blood was violently spat out, soaking through the clothes on his chest. The blood blended with the darkness, making it hard to see clearly.

  "You——" thought that after decades of wandering the jianghu as a poison king, he was actually defeated by a little yellow-haired girl, it truly made him ashamed and unable to show his face.

  "You think you can escape? Xī Wú Shuāng is not someone who can be easily fooled. If you managed to escape from his hands, haven't you ever suspected that he let you go on purpose? Otherwise...

  Lǐng Zǐ Yuè took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the bloodstains on her clothes, her tone laced with mockery as she pointed at the eagle circling in the air, saying: "He's already coming after us."

  Yu Qiu raised his head in the direction of her fingers, looking at the eagle, and sighed with a bitter smile, "Hehe...the winner is king, the loser is a bandit."

  "You're quite open-minded." Tongue clicking, Leng Xueyao put away the Blood Oath and her expression turned cold. "Tell me who you are and why you want to poison the Regent's consort," she said, "Perhaps I can spare your life."

  "Why did you save me?" Head lowered, voice low and hoarse, completely without any disguise, the hand pressed under his body slowly gathered poison, success or failure all depended on this one move, he had to gamble.

  Win, and live.

  Lose, and you die.

  The only weakness of Regent Situ Wushuang is his queen, and the person he wants to kill is the Queen of the Regent. If she falls into his hands, how can she survive?

  It is better to die with honor than to surrender without a fight.

  It is still unknown who will have the last laugh.

  "This young lady has always done things as she pleases, without asking for reasons." As long as she wants to do it, she'll go and do it, why bother with so many whys.

  She has already deviated from her original life trajectory, she no longer needs to bear too many heavy shackles, she is just herself, Leng Xueyu, content with whatever comes her way, living freely as she pleases.

  "I won't tell you." Wuyi closed his eyes, trying to use his inner energy to treat his internal injuries, but was shocked to find that he couldn't even circulate his Qi.

  Leng Xueyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, leaning lazily against a bare big tree, shaking off the snow on the tree, making a lively rustling sound.

  "It's you who gave up the opportunity, don't blame me for being ruthless." With a nimble body, she lightly jumped and flew onto the treetop, leisurely saying, "Situ Wusuo, you owe me another favor."

  He was dressed in black as ink, with a crown-like face like jade, handsome and upright. Xī Zǐ Wú Shuāng stepped on the snow and came, an eagle landed on his shoulder, opened a pair of sharp eagle eyes staring at the masked man lying in the snowy ground, as if next second, it would pounce on him with its sharp beak, piercing his head.

  "Heh heh, I don't mind owing you a favor. If you want to collect, just let me know anytime." The profound and mysterious black eyes were as cold as ice, with a hint of killing intent, his gaze was like a knife.

  Situ Wushuang took step by step towards Yougui, no one more than him wanted to figure out who had poisoned the Huilian wine for him three years ago in Wuyang, and who had used such a vicious method to try to kill him.

  "He's a master of poison, after all. As the saying goes, 'a cornered rabbit will still bite back'. You'd better be careful, or if you fall into his trap, don't expect me to save you." The clear eyes seemed to be gazing at the distant scenery, but in reality were secretly observing every small movement of Ou Kui's, each change in his expression, even the subtlest facial micro-expression, all fell under Leng Zhiyue's scrutiny. His hands were one hundred percent deceitful.

  A person can remain so calm before approaching death, enough to show that before this, he has experienced countless such tests, otherwise, where does the composure and self-confidence come from.

  Situ Wushuang's footsteps paused, and he raised an eyebrow to look at Leng Ziyue. The fiery red clothes were like a blooming red rose, and with a speed that made it hard for the naked eye to discern, she rushed towards Yougui. Her hand tightened, and her body moved.

  Even though Situ Wushuang's speed was already very fast, there was someone whose movements were even faster, who took a step ahead of him and hugged Leng Ziyue's waist, retreating three or four meters away from You Qiu.

  Baili Chenyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his grip on Leng Ziyue's hand, his tone furious: "Do you know who he is? You're actually reckless enough to lean against him, do you know...?"

  He didn't dare imagine what would happen if he had arrived a step later.

  The little woman in his arms, he can't put her down anymore, how can he put her down. How hateful, not only did she escape from him time and time again, avoiding him, but she even dared to take risks with her own body, she should be punished.

  It wasn't until a while later that Leng Xueyu came back to her senses, staring blankly at the empty snowy ground. Where was that black-clothed man? She couldn't help but slap a palm on Bai Lixuan's chest, growling: "Who allowed you to hold me?"

  Uh... this isn't the point, what right does he have to control her and tell her what to do? It's just because she thought that man in black was suspicious, so she wanted to try something out, but ended up getting ruined by him.

  Why can't you just talk it out nicely, instead of yelling at her?

  What's weird is that she didn't get angry, but instead secretly wanted to laugh deep down.

  "Xiao Yue'er, don't be ridiculous." If he took off his mask, one could completely see Bai Li Chenyuan's pinkish-pink handsome face. Just thinking about the expression on his face when he was being stern made him want to laugh too.

  But he couldn't smile, he had to make Leng Ziyue understand how dangerous what she just did was.

  Leng Xue's hands wrapped around her own arms, her whole body trembling. Just a moment ago, he was still fuming with anger and couldn't hide his concern, but the next moment, he sounded like a mischievous child, leaving her at a loss for how to respond.

  "How did you end up here?" This guy, although not poisoned due to his special physique and being soaked in medicine since childhood, shouldn't have such strong recovery abilities, right? In just one or two days, he's recovered to be exactly the same as before he was injured, isn't that a bit too OP.

  Judging from his breath, it's even thicker than before. What the hell is he made of?

  "Woke up and couldn't find you, searched everywhere, finally found you." Baili Chenyuan's mouth curved into a charming shallow smile, his pair of black gemstone-like eyes also filled with laughter, making people feel warm.

  It seems that as long as he sees her, he feels especially happy.

  "Oh." Pouting her mouth, looking a bit silly, but it didn't affect her beauty at all.

  Situ Wushuang couldn't help but gaze at the awkward yet warmly affectionate couple in front of him, his chest overflowing with a mix of deep loss and heartfelt blessings.

  Everyone likes to make friends with people who are similar to themselves, looking at Baili Chuan Yun, he believes that they may become real friends. Only because he has a heart that is almost the same as his own.

  Or perhaps even more so.

  "You two chat slowly, I won't disturb you." A couple, just the two of them is perfect, three would be too crowded. Situ Wuduan didn't have the habit of being a third wheel, he was happy to return to the palace to accompany his little woman.

  Baili Chenyuan pulled Qing Xuerong behind him, not allowing Situ Wuxiang to see his little woman. Although he deeply loved his queen, he still didn't like others looking at his little Rong'er.

  Xiao Yue'er, can only let him see.

  What is a duck overlord? Baili Chunyue explained it extremely clearly.

  "The black-robed man you want to capture is Wu Kuai, the Poison King of the Wan Du Gong. That's all I can tell you, and as for the rest, I'm sure the Regent will have a way to investigate and find the answers you need." His intelligence network was the most comprehensive and precise among the five major countries, there was no news he didn't know, nor anyone he couldn't find.

  Among the five major powers, any unknown secret of a royal family is not considered a secret to him, and he likes the feeling of slowly torturing his opponents.

  So don't rush, everything will come slowly.

  "Thank you." Situ Wusuo only said two words before disappearing from the sight of the two, such an extraordinary light skill, how can it not make people applaud and cheer.

  The Blood King Baili Hongzhuang, who was despised by the world, turned out to be not as ordinary and simple as he seemed on the surface. He is indeed the true king, a ruler who does not show his sharp edges but makes people dare not underestimate him.

  "Xiao Yue'er, ah... " Ba Li Chen Yin blinked his bright orange eyes, his curled eyelashes fluttering rapidly, looking both cute and endearing. His about-to-speak-but-stopping expression made one want to scream loudly and pinch his face hard.

  Leng Xueyu angrily kicked him and waved her hand, coldly saying, "I'm going back to the manor. You're not allowed to follow me. I don't know you."

  "I'll follow you, what can you do to me?" Taking a deep breath, Bai Li Chen Yin suppressed the urge to explode in anger. She didn't want him to follow her, but he insisted on doing so. As long as he could enter her heart, even if it meant being unreasonable, he was willing to accept it.

  Alas, who made him dislike whoever it was and instead fall in love with this woman who is both loved and hated.

  "You scoundrel." So angry that her teeth itched, Leng Ziyue really wanted to go mad and bite him.

  "Hehe, I'm only naughty in front of Xiaoyue, others want me to be naughty, but I don't feel like it?" His identity is quite noble, being naughty would be unbecoming, he wouldn't do it lightly.

  "Do you believe I'll beat you up?" Keep walking forward, hypnotizing myself, she can't see or hear anything.

  "I believe you." Baili Chenyuan stopped in his tracks, nodded very seriously, and then jogged to catch up with Leng Ziyue, standing by her left side. He added, "However, Xiaoyuer doesn't want to hit me."

  "You're sure I'll lose-----" The last three words, the tone was dragged out especially long, and the colder Bai Li Chen looked at him, the sweeter he smiled.

  Looking at his pitiful appearance, apart from feeling angry enough to grind her teeth, she really couldn't bear to take action.

  "Uh-huh, I'm absolutely sure, Xiao Lian'er is so cute and can protect you, just let me follow you!" Batting big eyes, watery and resembling a small puppy, she wrapped her arms around Leng Xue's arm, coquettishly acting spoiled.

  Baili Chunxuan sighed in his heart: Little woman, I've made such great sacrifices for you, putting aside all my dignity and pride. Can't you just believe me once, even if it's just a try, to be with me?

  Heavens, why are you so cruel to me?

  The corner of her eye twitched violently, and Leng Xueyu suddenly felt as if a flock of ravens had flown over her head, leaving behind a scattering of feathers.

  "Uh...", Zhang opened her mouth, but Tong Xueyu only realized then that she didn't know what to say.

  The master told her that she should ask her own heart what it wants most and follow her feelings, even if she makes a mistake, she will have no regrets.

  Looking at Baili Chunxuan's gentle and doting eyes, Leng Xueyao's heart softened.

  She doesn't want to hide in her own shell anymore, maybe she can really try to believe him and let him take her to experience a different world.

  "Xiao Yue, look at me, believe in me, try to be friends with me, okay?" He was lonely, although Shen Qing and the others grew up with him, but they were not friends after all, unable to confide in each other.

  When he met her, it seemed as if they were destined to be tied together.

  "Good." The lovely little face blushed, and Leng Ziyue bashfully lowered her head, "I just agreed not to avoid you again, as for the rest..."

  The words had just been spoken, and Baili Chuanxin immediately picked up the conversation: "Hehe, great, my little Yue'er has finally stopped hiding from me. The rest can wait, no rush."

  He can wait as long as she doesn't push him away.

  Leng Xueyu stared blankly at his smiling face, a single "good" word, could actually make him smile so radiantly, pure and holy, the smile seemed like the most dazzling star in the night sky, shining brightly, beautiful to the point of taking one's breath away.
