Both of them followed the crowd to the riverside, where people had already gathered in large numbers.
However, the onlookers kept a respectful distance, not squeezing in desperately but leaving several ters of space, not to disturb the woman while she was painting.
Rena and Shen Sinning had exceptionally good eyesight, so even from a distance, they could see the woman’s features clearly.
Even Shen Sinning, a great beauty herself, was slightly taken aback when she saw the woman.
The woman was sitting by the river, with a large drawing board set up in front of her.
She appeared to be in her early thirties, with waves of golden hair hanging down one side and a pair of ocean-like blue eyes staring intently at the drawing board before her.
It was hard to imagine what kind of emotions a man would feel under the gaze of those gem-like eyes.
Her hair was like gold, her eyes like jewels, and her skin was like milk, reflecting light under the glow of the setting sun.
Even while sitting, everyone could guess from her posture that she had a perfectly proportioned figure.
It could be said that this woman had no flaws at all.
Not only was she beautiful, but her elegant deanor was also irresistible, even to other won, who admired her deeply.
A stunning beauty that one might encounter only once in a hundred years.
"Indeed, there are still plenty of great beauties in this world." Shen Sinning couldn’t help but remark, "I wonder if my lecherous brother-in-law would leave my sister for her."
Rena gave Shen Sinning a dismissive look, "Do you think that’s possible?"
"Of course not," Shen Sinning laughed, "My brother-in-law would just include her in his harem."
Rena: "..."
A young couple walked up to the woman, and the young man bowed respectfully, "Madam, it’s ti to go ho."
"Alright." The woman put away her brush, and the couple helped her pack up.
Shen Sinning unintentionally glanced at the woman’s painting and said casually, "The painting is good, but it still falls short compared to my brother-in-law’s."
Shen Sinning had seen Yang Yu’s "Divine Woman Painting" online and was deeply impressed, considering Yang Yu the "Master of Painting."
Shen Sinning originally thought she was speaking in Xia Guoyu, which the woman wouldn’t understand, but the woman stopped, turned to Shen Sinning with a gentle smile, and said in fluent Xia Guoyu, "Ma’am, is your brother-in-law a painter? Does he have any works I could see?"
"You can speak Xia Guoyu?" Shen Sinning was sowhat surprised but not at all embarrassed, "Have you seen the very popular ’Divine Woman Painting’ online recently?"
"I have." The woman nodded, "The woman in the painting must not be you, it must be your sister."
"You’re very smart, that was painted by my brother-in-law for my sister," Shen Sinning said proudly, "By the way, he also made one for Nicole. How about it, isn’t my brother-in-law very good?"
"Indeed, he paints very well, I’m inferior to him," the woman smiled, "Unfortunately, I don’t have ti to visit Xia Country right now, otherwise . I would definitely go and pay him a visit."
"That wouldn’t do, what if my brother-in-law took a liking to you?" Shen Sinning thought to herself, "I can’t let my sister have more rivals."
That’s what Shen Sinning thought, but she didn’t say it out loud: "We’ll have to wait until you co to Xia Country to discuss further if there’s nothing else, we must go now, good-bye."
The woman sincerely said, "It’s dinner ti, and as you people from Xia Country say, ’A chance encounter is better than a casual invitation.’ How about I treat you to dinner?"
Shen Sinning and Rena were not the types to easily trust others, no matter how beautiful the lady was, they wouldn’t follow her: "Thank you, but we are in a rush to catch a plane, perhaps another ti..."
Screech—
Several cars stopped on the nearby lane, and a dozen gunn wearing sunglasses stepped out, scaring the onlookers of the woman into scattering in all directions.
The young man beside the woman was her bodyguard. Seeing that these people seed to be heading their way, he imdiately shouted, "Kasy, get the lady out of here!"
Without any hesitation, the young male bodyguard drew his gun and started shooting at the gunn.
Rena and Shen Sinning ran as fast as they could, dreading being caught in the crossfire, but the beautiful lady and her maid were also running with Rena and Shen Sinning, which frustrated them deeply.
Hearing the dense gunfire, Rena looked back only to see the male bodyguard riddled like a beehive, lying on the ground, unmistakably dead.
"They’re really ruthless!" Rena muttered quietly, speeding up.
Although Shen Sinning had so martial arts training, her capabilities were not as strong as Phoenix’s, and even less so than Rena’s, naturally making her slower.
Rena had no choice but to drag Shen Sinning along as they ran.
But no matter how fast they ran, it was futile; more cars stopped in front of them, blocking their path.
Without a doubt, these people were also targeting that peerless beauty.
"Stop following us!" Rena yelled, trying to pull Shen Sinning in another direction.
However, those people didn’t care whether Rena and Shen Sinning were the woman’s associates or not, and comnced firing at them without further questions.
Luckily, there was a garbage can nearby, and the two won quickly hid behind it, blocking a burst of bullets.
"Since they’re asking for it, they can’t bla !" Rena had a habit of carrying a dagger and a gun, which she couldn’t use in Xia Country. Outside of Xia Country, she had no such reservations.
If soone was trying to kill her and she didn’t use her gun, that would be foolish, wouldn’t it?
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Rena, with a gun in each hand, unleashed a burst of fire at the group of sunglass-wearing assassins.
The gang of assassins had just killed a maid nad Kasy and were about to kidnap the lady, but they didn’t expect Rena to fight back and shoot, instantly killing more than ten of them.
The remaining three or four guys imdiately dropped the lady and hid behind the trees.
From the front, the dozen n who had killed the male bodyguard approached.
Shen Sinning, without hesitation, threw a thunder fire bomb. With a loud "Boom," the bomb exploded, sending flaming nails into the air, hitting the dozen assassins.
"Ahh—" the assassins scread in agony. Though not dead, their pain was worse than death could be.
Their bodies were struck by fire nails, and the nails were poisoned, which made them suffer imnsely.
"Run!" Rena and Shen Sinning, perfectly synchronized, took off again.
But the lady suddenly grabbed Shen Sinning’s hand, her face filled with terror: "Please, save . If they catch , I’ll live a fate worse than death!"
Shen Sinning, having no choice, turned to her and said, "Keep up with us. If you can’t, there’s nothing more we can do."
"Okay, thank you both." The lady nodded, "If I get out of this alive, I’ll definitely repay you."
