#1057 - Street assassination

In the early morning, the rising sun awakened the vitality of the earth, and the silent city began to fill with noise.

Jun Wuxie opened his eyes, greeted the rising sun, and bathed in the golden sunlight.

He waited quietly for about an hour until the sun was high in the sky, but the door of the house remained tightly closed, and there was no movement inside.

Xu Yan'ning had not yet woken up.

He quietly entered the bedroom and saw her lying on her side on the bed, breathing evenly, her fair skin flushed with pink.

Her body was slightly curled up, and the quilt did not completely cover her body, exposing half of her slender calf and crystal-like jade feet to the air.

Her snow-white and delicate skin, as smooth as creamy fat, shimmered with a jade-like luster in the sunlight shining through the window.

What a beautiful picture of a sleeping beauty!

It must be said that Xu Yan'ning like this has a unique charm, full of temptation, and can easily arouse the most primitive impulses in people's hearts.

"Over the past few years, Yan'ning probably hasn't had a good night's sleep."

Jun Wuxie thought of her experiences in the Upper Realm, and looking at the comfortable and peaceful look on her face as she slept soundly, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled the quilt over, covering her exposed calf.

His palm touched her skin, which was cool.

It was already early winter, and the weather was slightly cold, so it was no wonder that her feet were cold when exposed like that.

Although cultivators are not afraid of the cold, he still reflexively held her exquisite jade feet, and strands of warm blood energy溢出 from between his palms and fingers.

Her feet were very small, and Jun Wuxie could completely cover them with one palm, estimating that they were at most size thirty-four.

Perhaps feeling the warmth in her feet, Xu Yan'ning's eyelashes trembled slightly in her sleep, and she slowly opened her eyes.

A blurry shadow became clearer and clearer in her vision.

Her face flushed instantly, and feeling the touch of his rough hands against the delicate skin of her feet, as well as the warmth of his blood energy, she had an uncontrollable urge to make a sound, and hurriedly bit her index finger in fright.

"Lord God… Lord God is actually warming my feet, sob sob～ Am I dreaming…"

Xu Yan'ning bit her finger, her face filled with happy shyness, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to drip with water.

She secretly looked at his perfect profile, feeling the warmth that his rough palms gave her, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

Perhaps this is the happiest moment for a woman?

She didn't know if it counted for other women, but for her, it was the happiest and most beautiful moment of her life, a feeling that melted her whole heart.

"Yan'ning, how much longer do you want to peek?"

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth curled up slightly, but his body remained still, maintaining the same posture.

He had already sensed the moment Xu Yan'ning woke up.

The state of being asleep and awake is completely different, whether it is the circulation of blood and qi in the body, the rhythm of the heartbeat, or the fluctuation of one's own aura, there will be subtle changes, how could it escape the perception of someone as sensitive as him.

Xu Yan'ning didn't expect her little thoughts to be discovered, her whole face turned red, as if smeared with rouge, and she pulled the quilt over in embarrassment, covering her head.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile, released her feet, sat on the edge of the bed near her upper body, and teased: "What's wrong, Miss Xu, are you shy? Weren't you quite fierce last night?"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull the quilt, but Xu Yan'ning held onto the edge of the quilt tightly, but she still couldn't pull it away from Jun Wuxie, and the quilt was pulled down little by little, revealing her head.

She covered her face with both hands, her eyes tightly closed, and the exposed skin was a blush, her ears, neck, and collarbone were all red.

Mentioning last night made her feel extremely ashamed.

Feeling that the man was staring at her, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a soft whimper escaped her nose.

"Lord God, you're bullying me～"

Xu Yan'ning refused, how could he be like this, insisting on saying it out loud, not leaving her any room for restraint.

"I came in early in the morning to warm your feet, is that bullying you?"

As the words fell, Xu Yan'ning slowly moved away the hands covering her face, revealing those charming eyes that seemed to drip with water.

"Lord God, thank you～"

Xu Yan'ning suddenly smiled like a flower, with less shyness and more happiness.

Although Lord God rejected her last night, his words and deeds today allowed her to see hope.

Perhaps she was too fierce last night and scared him.

Thinking of this, her heart was sweeter than honey.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Jun Wuxie reached out and fiddled with the strands of hair on her face, and said: "If you want to sleep a little longer, I will guard you here, so you can sleep soundly."

Last night, he thought a lot about her experiences over the past few years and felt唏嘘 and heartache for her.

He wanted to treat her as well as possible, to make her happy and happy.

How many old friends in this world will ultimately survive?

The doomsday in the Lower Realm, the doomsday in the Upper Realm in the future, and then there will be the torrents of the heavens.

Some people, some things, should be cherished when you have them, once you lose them, you won't even be able to see them, leaving only the sad memories that you can never truly touch.

"I'm not sleeping, in the future, by Lord God's side, people will be able to sleep soundly every night. It's so late now, I can't be lazy in bed anymore."

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, her face slightly red, and put on her clothes in front of him.

Jun Wuxie sat in front of the bed and watched quietly, not reacting as strongly as last night, because he was already mentally prepared.

Xu Yan'ning put on her clothes and skirt, finished her makeup, and turned around in front of Jun Wuxie, pulling on her skirt.

She put on the Holy Maiden's costume of the Yuling Sect from the Lower Realm again.

Compared with the past, she is now more mature and has shed her former涩.

"Let's go, let's go for a walk in the city."

Jun Wuxie got up and walked towards the outside of the house, Xu Yan'ning stepped forward, hesitated slightly, and then hugged his arm, looking very intimate.

As soon as she left the room, she bumped into Princess Anning who was coming towards her.

She stood dazedly in the yard, her eyes fixed on Jun Wuxie's arm that Xu Yan'ning was holding, her face became a little ugly, but she forced a smile and said: "Young Master Yue, who is this?"

"Let me introduce you, her name is Xu Yan'ning, she is a very good friend of mine."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward to introduce Anning.

"Is this sister Princess Anning? You are indeed a beautiful woman who can倾国倾城." Xu Yan'ning's personality was originally more cheerful, and she greeted her very enthusiastically, "My name is Xu Yan'ning, Anning sister can call me Yan'ning oh."

"Sister Yan'ning."

Anning nodded politely, forced a smile, and then looked at Jun Wuxie: "Young Master Yue, where are you and Sister Yan'ning going?"

"I'm taking Yan'ning to逛逛 on the street."

"Isn't this good?" Anning looked at Xu Yan'ning holding his hand, trying to use a calm tone, and said: "Father just announced to the whole city that he will betroth Anning to you. Regardless of the reason for this matter, whether it is true or false, the people of Biancheng do not know the truth. If you go out like this, where will Anning's face be存."

Xu Yan'ning heard this and hurriedly released Jun Wuxie's arm, giving Anning an apologetic look.

Because she heard Jun Wuxie say last night that he would make Anning the Empress in the future, so it seemed that Anning should be his designated Imperial Concubine.

Since their relationship has already been determined, then she cannot intensify the conflict when the 正牌 Imperial Concubine is jealous.

"Anning, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Jun Wuxie did not know the plot that Xu Yan'ning had made up in her own brain, he looked at Anning indifferently, his voice was very平淡, and then said to Xu Yan'ning: "You don't have to be afraid of anyone, currently, besides Aunt Jing, you are the closest person to me."

After he finished speaking, he stepped away, and Xu Yan'ning hurriedly followed, hugging his arm again, leaving Anning with a pale face standing in place.

She also didn't know why she had said that just now.

In fact, she didn't care about any face at all, what face could she talk about in front of him.

She just felt a莫名 of resistance in her heart, felt uncomfortable, and felt as uncomfortable as 百爪挠心, so she said those words.

He obviously strongly disliked others interfering with his actions, and there was also a hint of questioning in her words just now.

That man seems to be angry.

Anning made up her own mind, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she hurried after her.

… …

At this time, Jun Wuxie and Xu Yan'ning had already left the City Lord's Mansion and came to the street.

In fact, the main purpose of coming out today is of course not to逛街, but to lure those assassins.

He knew that the assassins chasing Xu Yan'ning had not left, and the number of people might even increase.

If these assassins are not eliminated for a day, he will not be able to feel at ease.

Therefore, Xu Yan'ning hugged his arm and traveled intimately with him. Not only did he not stop him, but he was also very happy to do so.

The closer she is to him, the better he can protect her and reduce the chance of accidents in the face of sudden situations.

"Hmm? Who is that woman挽着 Young Master Yue?"

"Didn't King Ning just betroth the郡主 to Young Master Yue? Why is he traveling intimately with another woman?"

"What's so strange about this, how could a god like Young Master Yue only have one woman, Princess Anning? I have to say, this woman is not weaker than Princess Anning in appearance at all."

"Alas, Young Master Yue is really the巅峰 of our generation…"

On the street, people were talking about it and were amazed.

Princess Anning is known as the number one beauty in Qingzhou and is also King Ning's most beloved daughter. Being able to obtain this佳人 is something that many天骄人杰 dream of.

Not only does Young Master Yue have Princess Anning, but there is also a woman by his side whose appearance and temperament are not weaker than Princess Anning.

Some people felt envious, jealous, and hateful, so jealous they were spitting blood, feeling heartbroken.

Why was the gap between people so vast?

"Brother Yue, the Anning Princess is following behind us."

Xu Yan'ning knew that Jun Wuxie's current identity was Yue Wuxie. No one knew about his origins from the lower realms and such secrets must not be revealed.

Jun Wuxie did not respond. His expression seemed relaxed and carefree, as if he were really strolling around, but he was very vigilant inside.

He had already sensed it, sensed the faint, well-hidden, icy killing intent.

It was on this street, in this bustling crowd.

His divine sense searched, but he felt that the auras were floating and uncertain.

It must be said that the assassination techniques cultivated by the Seven Killing Pavilion were very clever.

This kind of clever assassination technique did not seem like something a sect of the Seven Killing Pavilion's level could possess.

Their concealment methods were excellent, using the flow of people as cover, making it difficult to lock onto the assassin's position.

"Lord, I feel their killing intent. Many people have come this time..."

Xu Yan'ning's expression did not change, but her heart sank, and she secretly communicated with him using her divine sense.

"Don't panic, leave it to me to handle."

Jun Wuxie secretly responded, and his powerful divine sense spread out, carefully sensing and searching the surrounding area.

At this time, many assassins disguised as ordinary people in the crowd were each looking for the best assassination position.

"Senior sister, the Anning Princess is following behind. Why not attack her?"

The assassins of the Seven Killing Pavilion were secretly communicating.

"Of course, leave Anning alive. When necessary, she can be used as a bargaining chip or bait. Pay attention, this Yue Wuxie is not that simple. Who is Junior Sister Xu? Proud and arrogant, when have you ever seen her treat a man like this? Look at her obedient appearance. What kind of man can make her show this look?"

"Senior sister is right. However, this Yue Wuxie has only just passed the Saint King Tribulation. In theory, even if he is strong, he shouldn't be that strong. Junior Sister Xu is a half-step Great Saint Realm expert, capable of defying a Great Saint. How could she behave like this in front of that Yue?"

"Yue should have a trump card, something others don't know about. He cannot be regarded as an ordinary Saint King. Therefore, when we strike, we must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and never give him any chance to breathe!"

"Okay, sixth junior brother, seventh junior sister, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Jun Wuxie and Xu Yan'ning were still strolling leisurely, occasionally commenting on the shops on both sides of the street and the trinkets sold by street vendors.

The flowing crowd constantly brushed past them.

Suddenly, a blazing cold light shattered the tranquility and harmony.

It was a three-foot-long sword, blooming with dazzling cold light, a blood line in the middle of the sword body, like a smear of blood, red and palpitating.

This long sword attacked Jun Wuxie from the side, quickly moving like a streamer.

He reached out and put his arm around Xu Yan'ning's slender waist, shifting slightly, perfectly avoiding the sword in a flash of lightning.

Almost at the same time, a cold light flashed.

This time, it came from Xu Yan'ning's side, also a long sword, blooming with a sharp sword light, instantly stabbing straight at her temple.

Ding!

Xu Yan'ning arrived later but struck first. She did not know when a sword appeared in her hand, and the sword's edge struck the sword light accurately and quickly from bottom to top, shattering it.

At the same time, the long sword in her hand turned over and stabbed out quickly in a certain direction, erupting with the sound of a sword.

The assassin blocked this sword with his sword.

The person who launched the initial attack attacked again, his figure flickering around like a ghost, and the cold sword energy raged, each sword directly approaching Jun Wuxie's vital points.

The assassin who attacked Xu Yan'ning also launched an attack, instantly shrouding them in sword light.

Jun Wuxie's eyes were slightly cold. During the dodging process, he pointed his fingers and waved them quickly. Scarlet blood energy evolved into a heavy sword, and with a flick of his sleeve, the heavy sword blasted horizontally in all directions.

The True Martial Sword Intent was heavy, strong, and fierce, overbearing and unparalleled, obliterating all the sword light, and with a clang, it struck the long swords of the two assassins, knocking them upside down and flying out.

The assassins hiding in the dark who witnessed this scene were all shocked.

That Yue Wuxie was only in the initial Saint King Realm, but he was able to handle the assassination of a Great Saint Small Heaven Realm expert with ease, and even knock their people back.

What a perverted combat ability this is!

On this street, pedestrians evaded one after another, trying to hide under the eaves on both sides of the street, or even in the houses.

But some people couldn't run away.

That was a mother and daughter, a young woman, with a four- or five-year-old daughter, standing on the street with frightened faces, trembling all over, at a loss.

Behind them were two assassins with very ordinary clothes and appearances.

"Yue!"

Among the two assassins, one grabbed the little girl and threw her directly at Jun Wuxie.

At the same time, the assassin who threw the person shook the long sword in his hand, and moved his feet quickly, following behind the little girl he threw out and killing with the sword.

This was a very despicable method, making everyone who saw this scene feel deeply angry and disdainful.
