Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Recalling their torture to their past captives, the guards could think of nothing save the ghosts that had lived in their hearts all these years.
They panicked. In an instant, an acute pain fell on the back of their necks. The force seed to run through their bodies and up to their eyes to block their sight. Before they could make any sound, their heavy eyelids closed. They could not tell exactly what had happened. Their bodies fell the mont they lost consciousness.
Bang! Bang! The unconscious n hit the ground.
Jiang Pengji was hanging on the roof upside down with her feet clinging to the edge. Then, her waist made so efforts to bring her entire body up, her hands tightly grasping the cornice. Her feet were free again. After a quiet jump, she was in front of the storage room.
She kicked the fainted guards aside and broke the door altogether.
Behind the door, ng Liang bent further inwards on the floor as nervousness and fear rose to the extre. Cold wind rushed in as the door was removed, causing him to have goosebumps. He shivered.
With the aid of the dim moonlight, ng Liang could see a shape other than the two guards. He thought with relief that it was his guard and resud his usual insolence towards Jiang Pengji. He protested with angry “hm-hm” sounds. One could imagine what he ant to say with that outrageous glare.
Jiang Pengji was once again the patient cousin. She looked at him with concern and was ready to loosen the ropes that tied his arms and legs when sothing forceful darted at her.
The audience, who had noticed it imdiately, alerted her.
Dashu Xiaobing: “Oh my god! Host, watch out!”
At the sa ti, Jiang Pengji had found an end of the rope. The blade almost reached her back when she made an abrupt turn to avoid it. The tal cut ng Liang’s arm instead.
“Urgh—” ng Liang let out a grating moan.
ng Hun’s companions knew their leader very well after the battles they had fought together. Without a single word, they comprehended his cues and acted strategically. ng Hun would occupy Jiang Pengji. anwhile, the others would take ng Liang away.
The viewers were furious.
Yuyu Yecheng: “This is unfair!”
Bufu Nilaidawoa: “Careful, Host! I think they’re kidnapping ng Liang.”
Liuyue Xiesandao: “Co on! Give them a blow! I know you’ll win.”
If they could, they would have crawled into their computer screens to help. They were like ants killing an elephant.
ng Hun supposed Jiang Pengji was a guard of the ng’s. Thinking of his old master, he avoided fatal points on her body. He could not defeat Jiang Pengji, even with all his strength, so his consideration only placed him at a greater disadvantage. Jiang Pengji blocked his companions’ attempts several tis while staving off ng Hun’s attacks.
ng Liang, the reason for the fight, no longer wore arrogance and pride on his face. He was dropping his head as low as possible to protect himself. His arm was already injured and precious blood stread out of it.
He would punish the guard after they escaped. His family did not need a useless man that could not even protect him after he had been trained for years. He had no gratitude for the guard who was defending him with his own life, for everything was bought by the ng’s with the food and shelter they provided. What ng Liang observed was that he failed to perform his duty. Now, the dear langjun of the house was hurt and the guard had to pay a high price for it.
ng Hun continued his fight with his opponent, who was wearing black clothes. However, his motions were too straightforward to parry Jiang Pengji, whose moves were light and unpredictable. There was no doubt that he could not defeat her without doing his best.
Let’s end this, Jiang Pengji thought to herself. Then, she grabbed a bunch of wood in the room and pretended to attack ng Hun’s companions. The military chief instinctively stopped to protect his brothers.
In the next second, he knew it would be no good.
She struck his wrist. His arm was instantaneously insensible. Jiang Pengji took away his blade, locked his arms behind his back, and exerted overwhelming force on his shoulders so that he could not stand up.
“Freeze! I’ll kill this man if any of you make a move!” Jiang Pengji held the blade against ng Hun’s neck. His companions had caught ng Liang, but they imdiately froze in their positions.
“How dare you!” an apprehended man yelled.
“Ha! Those who can threaten are either dead or not yet born. What makes you think I dare not?” Despite her mask, her voice remained recognizable. Two people were shocked when she spoke: one was ng Liang, and the other was ng Hun.
The forr found out that she was no guard, while the latter gasped as he recollected whose voice it was.
Jiang Pengji seed to have noticed ng Hun’s strange reaction and asked, “Who are you?”
ng Hun lowered his voice and told the other n, “Nevermind . Kill that bastard!”
“No, we cannot do it. I’m sorry, chief!” To the n, even a thousand ng Liang’s were not worth hurting a strand of ng Hun’s hair.
It ca to a standstill. At last, Jiang Pengji shook her head and sighed, trying to make peace before releasing ng Hun. “Why are you coming after my cousin? I’m sure a young lady like her doesn’t have strong enemies like you. Is there any misunderstanding? If there is, I, Liu Xi, can apologize for you to my cousin.”
ng Hun frowned. That was really the langjun he had t the other day.
He questioned, “How would he be your cousin?”
Jiang Pengji’s tone changed. “How did you know about his gender? Are you the ones that my cousin said were chasing after him? So he escaped his holand because of you?”
