CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 497: YE THE BLACK-HEARTED WOMAN

Ye Lingyue was on guard. The assassin’s skills were far superior to what she had imagined.

Little Infinite Finger, he actually dodged it. It seems that this person’s strength is no less than that of the Reincarnation Realm.

Long Baobao was also terrified, clutching Ye Lingyue’s hand, his little body trembling nonstop.

"You are much smarter than that self-righteous foolish woman. I’m just very curious, how did you find out?" The little boy sneered darkly.

They were no ordinary assassins. Upon learning of this, they had been tasked with escorting Long Baobao "It’s very simple, there’s only one village called Bamboo Village on Purple Bamboo Ridge, and I happen to know that most of the people of Bamboo Village are now living well in another place." Ye Lingyue had encountered Gouwa and his mother and knew that Bamboo Village had only a little over two hundred households, and those people were mostly settled in the Ancient Forest, it was impossible for them to appear here.

"Then why didn’t you tell your accomplices? Look, you’ve scared this little guy." The boy looked at Long Baobao with great sarcasm.

He hated Long Baobao. Why should life be so unequal from the start? Long Baobao had people taking care of his every need, whereas he was orphaned at birth and was sold to an assassin organization, being a tool for killing all his life.

"It’s very simple, I just happened to find some people disagreeable and wanted to use you to kill them. Also, Little Steamed Bun needs to learn a lesson. I want him to know that from now on, he can’t trust others lightly." Ye Lingyue glanced at Long Baobao.

After hearing this, Long Baobao’s little head instantly lifted up, looking at Ye Lingyue incredulously.

He couldn’t believe that such harsh words were said by Ye Lingyue, who had always shown him great affection.

"Sister Hei Yue..."

That’s why she had indulged him these past few days, allowing him and Little Xiao to play together and agreeing to let him sleep in her tent tonight.

"Little Steamed Bun, this world is hideous, and to survive, one always has to pay some tuition. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, everything that happens tonight is your tuition." Saying this, Ye Lingyue picked up Long Baobao with one hand and, like a flash of lightning, dashed out of the tent.

"Let’s see where you can run."

The little boy kicked off the ground and bolted out of the tent, leaping outside.

Outside the tent, the Xia Family’s Three Sisters and Zhuge Yi were surrounded by a dozen refugees.

Those refugees, who appeared thin and weak during the day, suddenly turned into assassins, armed with sharp weapons, catching everyone by surprise.

Except for Hong Yulang, who was injured and didn’t eat much, and thus was less poisoned, the others felt their Primordial Power and spiritual power draining after a brief fight.

"Grandpa Huang." Long Baobao and Ye Lingyue hurried over.

"Young Master, I’m glad you’re okay." Housekeeper Huang looked defeated, but when he saw Long Baobao, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Ye Lingyue quickly scanned the surroundings, and with a concentration of energy in her fingertips, she unleashed the second form of Little Infinite Finger, the Shattering Heaven, which shot through the air.

The overwhelming Finger Force, like a storm, was astonishingly powerful, forcing the dozen assassins to retreat quickly.

"You’re not poisoned?" The Xia Family’s Three Sisters were sweating profusely, and upon seeing Ye Lingyue’s valiant power, they were shocked and somewhat glad.

Had Ye Lingyue arrived any later, they probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

Ye Lingyue threw a Detoxification Pill to Housekeeper Huang.

"What about our antidote?" Zhuge Yi and the rest were shocked.

"What do I have to do with you, and don’t you see who brought these people upon us?" Ye Lingyue glanced around, not finding Song Jingyun or Lan Cai’er.

Although she knew that the people of "Emperor’s Slaughter" were not poisoned, she still had some worries in her heart.

"Black Moon, we are all in the same boat now, saving us is also in your interest." Xia Meng was so angry she almost cursed out loud.

"Too many people, the boat will sink. If you want the antidote, exchange it for points." Ye Lingyue waved her sleeve, and a cloud of Siamese Ghost Smoke rose, trapping the enemies on the periphery and temporarily getting out of the predicament.

"You’re clearly extorting us! Are you not afraid we’ll report this to the Mercenary Alliance?" Zhuge Yi, having been extorted by Ye Lingyue twice already, was seething with hatred.

"That’s if you have the life to go back and complain." Ye Lingyue sneered, completely disregarding the threats of the few.

"You wicked woman, did you calculate in advance that these people would have issues, to take the opportunity to threaten us!" The Xia Family’s Three Sisters were actually not too dumb.

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes.

It wasn’t easy for her either, finally catching such an opportunity, wasn’t it? And this was all thanks to Song Jingyun, that self-righteous little white flower.

"We would rather die than give you our points." The Xia Family’s Three Sisters had faces tinged with anger, each wishing they could devour Ye Lingyue alive.

"Ladies of the Xia Family, think carefully. Sometimes death is actually the easiest relief. If the three of you, as beautiful as flowers, are captured alive, you might find life worse than death, suffering unspeakable atrocities." Ye Lingyue’s words had an effect.

The Xia Family’s Three Sisters showed faces of horror.

With that, Ye Lingyue acted as if she was about to disperse the Ghost Smoke.

"I’ll give it, I have more than fifty thousand points. As long as you can guarantee I’ll be safe tonight, I’ll give you all my points." The first to give in was Xia Qing.

"I, I also have over fifty thousand points. Big sister, stop being stubborn, we can still make a comeback as long as we are alive." The second sister of the Xia Family couldn’t hold out any longer.

"Have you thought it through? If you wish to die, I will immediately withdraw the Ghost Smoke." Ye Lingyue sneered coldly.

Xia Meng hesitated, but ultimately could not overcome her fear and handed over her point card as well.

Ye Lingyue’s smile bloomed like a flower; the cards of the Xia Family’s Three Sisters had more than 160,000 points in total, even more than the points she would earn from escorting Long Baobao this time.

After throwing three Detoxification Pills at them, Ye Lingyue glanced at Zhuge Yi and Hong Yulang.

Both shivered at the same time.

Especially Hong Yulang, who both hated and feared Ye Lingyue’s methods to this day.

"Hehe, you two are also regular customers. I was originally planning on giving you a discount, but alas, only one of you has points, so I can only offer one Detoxification Pill. You two decide amongst yourselves who lives and who dies." Ye Lingyue curled her lips.

"Ye Lingyue, you are so cruel!" Hong Yulang glared at her with rage-filled eyes.

"What, she is Ye Lingyue?" Zhuge Yi exclaimed in shock.

"Of course it’s me. I’ve got no time to be chummy with you folks." Ye Lingyue huffed.

Outside the Siamese Ghost Smoke, the previously clamorous sounds had now quieted.

Ye Lingyue was well aware that the illusion created by the Siamese Ghost Smoke could trap those assassins for at least an hour or two, but she could not guarantee any longer than that; after all, it was merely an Xuan-grade Spiritual Artifact.

She was still worried about the safety of the others.

"I and my grandfather both need the detoxification. I can exchange the Earth-level Spiritual Artifact on my body for your antidote." Hong Yulang clenched his teeth and took out a Spiritual Artifact from his possession.
