C2261 Assassin and Princess
In front of them was Nutlet's house, the intelligence outpost of the butterfly man. Xia Lei had already seen through Cai Jianren's existence, that guy was intimate with the shop owner. He had seen the shopkeeper twice, and she was slightly older than Cai Jianren. Among the women of the butterfly man Clan, she could be considered to be the most beautiful woman. The impression she gave Xia Lei was one of a gentle and upright woman, a very honest woman.
A strange smile appeared on Xia Lei's face, "Cai Jianren that guy is actually together with his subordinate. Looks like the atmosphere around the butterfly man is not as simple as I thought it was, and is also very open-minded."
Within Nutcracker's house, Cai Jianren suddenly pulled down the female owner's dress, causing the scene to become unbearable.
Xia Lei wanted to look away, but he was unable to hold back his curiosity. butterfly man was so petite, what would happen if she did that kind of exercise?
Curiosity killed his eyes, and with just this peek, Xia Lei's lower abdomen instantly ignited into a ball of fire. 's appearance could not help but surface in his mind. She was actually his woman. If she wasn't married, she would give him milk, and according to Nightingale, she would even be his fianc?e. Now that he saw the secret and the means of the female owner, he could not control his desires and his bad thoughts.
Being petite was sometimes an irresistible temptation.
Suddenly, a ripple of energy came from the void.
Xia Lei suddenly leaped to the side. In that instant, an energy arrow flew past the place where he had stood just a moment ago. On the streets, a few pedestrians had lost track of what was happening before they were turned into seedlings. Their bodies had been blown apart, turning into mincemeat!
After killing a few pedestrians, the energy suddenly soared and flew off into the distance. The feeling it gave was that it was not an energy arrow but an energy body with a mind.
Xia Lei's line of sight followed the direction in which the energy arrows flew towards, and then, he leaped into the air, his body leaving behind an afterimage.
Under the dim yellow sky, a figure turned around and fled in another direction. Although he was following them from a long distance, Xia Lei could still clearly see his face, as well as the ancient looking strange bow in his hand. He did not have a quiver on him. The energy arrow that he had shot out earlier was obviously from that bow, and it did not need any arrows.
The man was an assassin.
He was hiding in the sky and using his energy bow to kill Xia Lei. However, he had obviously not expected Xia Lei to rely on just a trace of energy fluctuations to discover the energy arrow and easily dodge it. Then, he turned around and chased after him.
The assassin suddenly plummeted, plunging into a residential area.
The assassin's speed and reaction surprised Xia Lei. He had just started chasing when the assassin determined that his speed was inferior to the assassin's and he immediately hid within the crowded and complex terrain of the residential area.
"Who exactly is this guy?" "If the assassins in this world are of high rank, then this guy should be at the top. There's only one person who can hire assassins of this rank to assassinate me ?" You Feng's face appeared within Xia Lei's mind, and a cold killing intent emerged within his eyes.
Xia Lei also jumped into the residential area where the killer was hiding. The place he landed was right at the assassin's location.
The ghetto was a patrician ghetto with a magnificent building and a large, imposing courtyard. There were many guards standing at the entrance. Most of them were equipped with cold weapons, and some of them even had energy arms s.
Xia Lei decided on the direction to go, but just when he was about to use his energy to search for the killer, the door in front of him suddenly opened. An old man came out of the door and looked at him expressionlessly.
Xia Lei recognized him immediately. It was the old man who invited him to the Golden Coast Hotel. Previously, he did not know the identity of this old man, but after the banquet, he already knew that this old man was the Princess Young-ye's servant. But the question was, how could he be here at this time?
The old man said, "Follow me."
Then, the old man turned around and entered the room.
It was this style again. Would he die if he clearly explained himself?
Xia Lei hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. He secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that my judgement was wrong, that killer was not bought by You Feng, but by the Princess Young-ye? If so, what was her purpose? A deeper test? If it is, then it is endless. Even if I am the chief of some tribe, it doesn't matter to her, does it? "Why would she be so persistent in investigating me?"
This pile of questions gushed out like a fountain.
The courtyard behind the door was planted with exotic flowers and herbs. There was also a pavilion for admiring flowers and a cleverly designed corridor. The style was quite similar to the style of Suzhou Gardens on Earth. However, even in this kind of place, there were many styles of Dark Death World, such as flower beds made of skulls, and even some small, fleshy plants grown with skulls.
The old chief led Xia Lei through the front courtyard, then stopped in front of a door.
The door was closed, and he could not see what was inside. Xia Lei only needed a single glance to see through everything in the room, but he did not do so. When the old man appeared and brought him to meet someone, it must be Princess Young-ye. Princess Young-ye was known as the strongest God Child of this world, and had the same ability as him to use energy to steal memories in her brain. The possibility of her being seen through by her at Princess Young-ye was simply too high.
The old man did not knock on the door either. He bowed slightly and said in a humble tone, "Your Highness, this old servant has brought him."
"Let him in. You can leave now, Aung." Princess Young-ye's voice came out from the door.
"Yes." The old man who was called Aon answered and left. His steps were very careful as he landed on the ground without making a sound, as if he was afraid that the sound of his footsteps would disturb his esteemed master.
Xia Lei raised his hand to push open the door, but was a little hesitant in asking if it was convenient. Behind the door was Princess Young-ye's room. What if she was changing? Rushing in wouldn't be wonderful.
But just as Xia Lei's mind was in a mess, Princess Young-ye's voice came out again, "Do you not even have the courage to push open the door and enter?"
Xia Lei was surprised in his heart, "Could it be that she also has the ability to see through things? If that's the case, then could her path of evolution was also nursing? "
"You even had the courage to kill You Feng at the Golden Coast Hotel, how come you became so timid now?" Princess Young-ye's voice came out from behind the door.
Xia Lei laughed, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with courage, it is just a polite question. "You're a woman, I'll push open the door and come in, just in case ?"
Princess Young-ye snorted, "Hmph! "In case what?"
"Nothing." Xia Lei pushed the door open and walked in. Initially, he had wanted to say if you were changing your clothes or something like that, but thinking that he still didn't understand Princess Young-ye's temperament, he didn't dare to say these kinds of joking words out loud.
In the room, Princess Young-ye was sitting at a table. Her face was still covered by the black cloth, making it impossible to see her face. The table beside her was carved from a piece of white bone. It was snow-white like jade, and it was unknown what kind of dead beast's bones were carved into it. What was even stranger was that the bone table faintly emanated an overbearing and imposing aura. It felt like a lively and fresh Monarch, and not some table.
"Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first saw it. " As if seeing through her thoughts, Princess Young-ye lightly patted on the table, "It's carved from dragon bone."
Xia Lei's heart was filled with shock. There really are dragons in this world? However, with the existence of undead flamingo, it was not strange for a True Dragon to exist.
"It was killed by my father before he ascended the throne. In the no-man's-land, your tribe is in the no-man's land. Have you ever seen a dragon?" The Princess Young-ye asked, her black mask facing Xia Lei, as though she was observing Xia Lei's reaction.
Xia Lei said: "I have heard of the existence of dragons, but I have never seen one."
His heart was filled with curiosity. The Princess Young-ye didn't say anything at the dinner at the Golden Coast Hotel, so why was she telling him the story of the dragon now?
"There is a tradition in the Black Sun Empire, which is to behead a dragon and ascend the throne." The Princess Young-ye said indifferently, "My two elder brothers and I have the chance to become the next overlord of Black Sun Empire, if only we can slay the dragon and ascend to the throne. My two elder brothers are currently searching for a dragon in the no-man's land, they might meet your tribe. "
Xia Lei said: "Then I will definitely entertain the two princes with good wine and beauties, but ? Princess, why aren't you looking for a dragon? If you want to become an Emperor under the condition of slaying a dragon, you first have to find a dragon. "
The Princess Young-ye shook his head lightly, "Dragons and undead flamingo are both ancient beings. I, the protector of this world, will not go slay the dragon just to sit in that position. In that case, Fen Yan will also not forgive me. "
"Your highness, I admire your character." Xia Lei's words came from the heart. The Black Sun Empire who ruled over tens of billions of people, the throne of power was not unattractive, but she could give up on it for such a reason.
"How many people do you think are going to compliment me every day? And would I be happy? "
Xia Lei laughed, "Alright, I will just say it directly, someone tried to assassinate me, and I caught up to them and coincidentally, your servant Ah'ong came out and told me to come over. Princess, is this a coincidence? You wouldn't just want to tell me about the dragon, right? "
"It's a coincidence." The Princess Young-ye said.
Xia Lei was startled, he never thought that it would be such an answer.
The Princess Young-ye replied, "I know that someone tried to assassinate you, but I do not want you to chase after him. You've caught the killer, you know the truth, and what you have to do will make it hard for me to do. "
"Does the princess know who sent those assassins?"
"Don't you know?"
Xia Lei laughed, an extremely smart person could speak to an extremely smart person in such a manner. Everyone knew that You Feng had invited everyone to kill him, but they did not say anything.
"Isn't he too much of a bully? Should I treat it as if nothing had happened when he hired a killer to assassinate me? " Xia Lei said.
"Bullying you? You almost killed him at the Gold Coast, and he's more sympathetic than you ever were when you humiliated him in front of so many nobles. Let's just forget about it, shall we? "
"Of course, I will not go against the will of the princess. "Then I'll be going." Xia Lei bowed slightly, turned around, and left.
"Wait." Princess Young-ye's voice came from behind, "Do you think that the reason I called you in was to mediate the conflict between you and You Feng?"
Xia Lei turned around with a puzzled expression, "Why is that so?"
