CHAPTER 1752: CHAPTER 1752: MIDNIGHT PERIL

Bai Ruozhu had a habit of turning on the big screen to keep an eye on the outside whenever she entered the space. She didn’t feel as anxious after a short while inside, probably because of the better air and nourishing environment in the space.

She quickly caught a fish and started brewing a pot of soup. It had been quite dry recently, so she didn’t dare to eat too much grilled fish.

Unfortunately, ever since she got pregnant, she didn’t dare to soak in the hot spring anymore. Although her spatial hot spring was quite miraculous, she decided not to randomly try it for the sake of the babies in her belly.

When the fish soup was halfway done, a shadow suddenly flashed outside. Bai Ruozhu was sitting inside the space and felt her eyelid twitch, so she hurriedly looked at the big screen.

Because the light was too dim, she couldn’t see who it was at all, but judging from the figure, it seemed to be a woman.

Soon, she heard Jianqi outside shout, "Who!"

The shadow flickered and disappeared; the lightness skill was extraordinary.

Later, the sounds of fighting came from outside. Bai Ruozhu could only see what was happening inside the room, but she roughly estimated that the opponents had at least a dozen people, and they were all experts in martial arts. Otherwise, Jianqi and the others wouldn’t have taken so long to take them down.

Soon, a woman’s scream came from the yard; it was Rendong’s voice!

"Huang Qin, how are you? Don’t die!" Rendong cried out. Her voice was extremely tragic, piercing through the silent night.

Bai Ruozhu shuddered. Was Huang Qin killed by the assassin?

She was a bit anxious, what if those people went over to Dengdeng’s side? Besides, Huang Qin had followed her for some days, and she couldn’t bear to see Huang Qin die just like that.

Thinking this, she simply summoned her courage and stepped out of the space, but she dared not relax even a little and secretly employed a magic technique to add some protection to herself.

She carefully climbed out through the window beside her, finally getting a clear view of the situation outside.

Jianqi was entangled with a top expert on the opposite side, and the other dark guards were also engaged in combat with the men in black. Their entire bodies were concealed in black, leaving only their eyes and nose holes exposed for breathing, showing extreme caution.

Bai Ruozhu took a glance and knew that these people were well-trained killers, every move quick and precise, directly targeting vital parts.

The words "Qisha Pavilion" sprang up in her mind.

She gritted her teeth. She had never found an opportunity to deal with Qisha Pavilion, but didn’t expect them to strike again!

At this moment, a dart flew toward her at such speed that she couldn’t react in time. Fortunately, she had used magic defense earlier, and the dart rebounded to the ground after hitting the rain cover.

However, Bai Ruozhu’s magic technique was disrupted, and her pregnant state blocked her essence, making her unable to flexibly use magic techniques. She urgently made a hand seal as a pretense and hid back into the space.

One from the opponent dashed over but couldn’t find her, only to be slashed by an incoming dark guard.

Yet, these killers seemed unaware of pain, even when injured, their fighting prowess remained unaffected. They were like killing tools one after another.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. Fortunately, the killers were focused on her house and hadn’t gone to Dengdeng’s side.

But she was very worried that Dengdeng might wake up and, if he cried or walked out of the room, the opponents would target him.

Thinking this, she wished she could step out of the space, rush to Dengdeng’s room, and take Dengdeng into the space.

However, the distance was too far, and she feared that she would be taken down before reaching there.

Jianqi had already sent out a signal. The dispatched dark guards were rushing back, and the city’s Jinyiwei would also arrive. They only needed to hold on for a while longer.

"Miss, quickly check Huang Qin, she’s about to stop breathing!" Rendong cried out.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart jolted as she saw Huang Qin lying on the cold ground, her chest a red stain. She couldn’t tell if the injury was to the chest or abdomen due to the distance, only knowing she had lost too much blood and was already in shock.

She moved a bit but retracted her foot. If it were a normal day, she would rush out to save Huang Qin. Otherwise, letting her watch Huang Qin die with open eyes would haunt her forever.

But now she wasn’t alone, with two babies in her belly, she was a mother. Even if she bore the reputation of watching someone die without helping, she couldn’t let anything happen to her children.

But even with that determination, tears still streamed down her face. Reluctance, guilt, worry, and other emotions filled her heart, tormenting her resolve, making her feel overwhelmed and her breath more labored.

Finally, the sound of hoofbeats came from outside; reinforcements had arrived!

All the dark guards dispatched, plus the arrival of Jinyiwei forced the killers to abandon their operation. In the end, six were captured, Jianqi called to keep them alive, but they were a step too late and the killers took their own lives.

Once it was safe, Bai Ruozhu came out of the space, running to Huang Qin while crying, quickly applying acupoint sealing to stop Huang Qin’s bleeding before checking her pulse.

Fortunately, Huang Qin still had a breath left. She fell to the ground sitting, so glad she didn’t watch a living person die.

Quickly wiping her tears, she retrieved the acupuncture needles and began treating Huang Qin. Only then did she clearly see that Huang Qin was slashed with a long knife cut on her chest. Luckily, it wasn’t deep and didn’t hit any organs, a fortune amidst misfortune.

"It’s okay, Huang Qin won’t die." She sniffed, not knowing if she was comforting herself or the nearby Rendong.

Suddenly, a cold glint came stabbing toward her, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, it was Rendong beside her, somehow having a dagger in her hand glimmering with a blue glow!

Bai Ruozhu instinctively covered her belly. She knew she couldn’t dodge, but still hoped the children would be okay.

Clang! With a crisp sound, Jianqi deflected the dagger in Rendong’s hand, swiftly slashing down with a sword, sending the arm holding the dagger flying.

"Ah..." A piercing scream from Rendong sounded, but she didn’t pause long, clawing at Bai Ruozhu’s neck with her left hand.

Bai Ruozhu was momentarily off-guard, but she wouldn’t miss the second attack either. Utilizing her lightness skill, she retreated just in time to dodge Rendong’s attack; her speed was incredibly fast!

Fragmented memories flashed through her mind, and Bai Ruozhu finally realized that Rendong was the shadow that sneaked into her room!

From the start, Rendong planned to assassinate her. Unfortunately, she didn’t find Bai Ruozhu’s figure upon entering the room, then Jianqi and the others discovered the assassins and both sides confronted each other. Rendong then used Huang Qin to lure Bai Ruozhu out.

"Master, are you okay? Rendong is problematic; she shouldn’t have called you out just now." Jianqi went over to support Bai Ruozhu.

Indeed, if she were a loyal servant, during such a dangerous situation, wouldn’t she advise her master to hide and not come out?

Bai Ruozhu felt a little uncomfortable. Was she becoming foolish due to pregnancy or was she just scared by Huang Qin’s blood that she didn’t notice such an obvious issue?
