Chapter 134: Miyasame Ayaka’s Submission! (1/2)

“Do you think that you’ll still be able to make a move?”

Misunderstanding the meaning of the female assassin’s words, Meng Long snapped.

His sudden outburst caused the atmosphere which had just barely alleviated to grow heavy once more.

At this moment, the Eastern Islands female assassin suddenly noticed that everyone’s gazes were on here, and of which, there was one that felt exceptionally piercing.

Glancing in the direction from where the piercing gaze came from, the Eastern Islands female assassin saw a gray-robed man leaning against a tree with his arms crossed before him.

The depths of the Eastern Islands female assassin’s eyes suddenly darkened. She finally knew why Wang Chong wasn’t worried about letting her free. Given her present state, before this powerful man, she didn’t stand a chance at all.

“Hurry up and leave, they won’t be so kind to you every time. I believe that you can tell that many of us here are actually very willing to have you stay.”

Li Zhuxin spoke calmly as he gazed deeply at the Eastern Islands female assassin. There seemed to be some bizarre glint in his eyes.

After struggling inwardly for a few moments, the Eastern Islands female assassin finally pushed herself up. Glancing at Li Zhuxin doubtfully, she felt a little anxious yet expectant… With a step after another, as though treading on thin ice, she slowly walked away.

Until she disappeared amidst the trees, no one had moved at all, and no one had laid their hands on her.

Hu!

The Eastern Islands female assassin heaved a huge sigh of relief. A kind of indescribable emotion that wasn’t entirely relief nor frustration grasped her heart. Flinging her sleeves, she soon disappeared in the direction toward the bottom of the mountain.

Finally! ——

“I didn’t think that you’ll let her go!”

When the Eastern Islands female assassin disappeared in the distance, Li Zhuxin suddenly turned to look at Wang Chong. The female assassin seemed to have thought that it was Li Zhuxin who saved her and let her go, but that wasn’t the case.

When Wang Chong gathered all of the herbs on the floor, honestly speaking, he was shocked as well.

“Hehe! I have my own considerations for choosing not to kill her.”

Rather than explaining the matter, Wang Chong simply chuckled mysteriously.

Naturally, it wasn’t because he felt sorry for her and his compassion suddenly worked up. Rather, he had other plans in mind. His true goal was the Ten Eastern Islands, as well as the ten female empresses on them.

Even though Wang Chong had heard of the ten empresses in his previous life, he didn’t have any interactions with them.

Back then, when the foreign cavalries invaded, the Ten Eastern Islands suffered the least damage.

According to the rumors Wang Chong heard, some unique events had occurred on those islands.

Thus, Wang Chong needed someone to serve as a bridge between him and the Ten Eastern Islands. In any case, just like what Li Zhuxin said before, even if he were to kill her, the mastermind behind her would just send another assassin. Moreover… Wang Chong was confident that she would come to look for him.

…

Wang Chong had expected the Eastern Islands female assassin to return for him, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect that she would return so quickly!

Almost as soon as she disappeared into the forest, the Eastern Islands female assassin suddenly staggered and appeared at the edge of the forest once more, into everyone’s sight.

“Don’t you feel repentant? We’ve already spared your life, how dare you return!”

Upon seeing the female assassin once more, Shen Hai and Meng Long flew into a rage. Along with the Wang Family Residence guards, they drew their swords and stood in front of Wang Chong, protecting him from the other party.

“Wait!”

Wang Chong waved casually as he stopped the crowd. Somehow, Wang Chong didn’t feel any killing intent from the other party.

“She isn’t here to kill me.”

“Speak, what do you want?”

Walking out of the group, Wang Chong questioned. Her body was still feeble, and given that he had the Single Character Consecutive Slash and that Li Zhuxin was around, Wang Chong didn’t fear her making a move.

“I… can’t return!”

The Eastern Islands female assassin’s face paled.

“When I returned from your Wang Family Residence, the Pavilion Master struck me heavily to punish me for my failure. Now that I’ve failed once more, I can no longer return. There’s no third chance for an assassin! Furthermore, given my Spectre Steps… it’s just a matter of time before I die!”

“You’ve asked your Pavilion Master on the Spectre Steps?”

Wang Chong suddenly asked with a bizarre expression. Surely this female assassin couldn’t possibly be so naive as to ask such a question straightforwardly?

“That’s right!”

Under the black veil, the Eastern Islands female assassin lowered her head as she bit on her lips.

This time, Wang Chong was truly impressed. He knew that the people from the Eastern Islands were different from that of the main continent, but Wang Chong didn’t think that she would be so frank about the matter.

However, it did sound like them to do so.

“I’ll be dead if I return, and if I don’t, the Pavilion Master would surely send men to assassinate me. I won’t survive out of the capital. Besides… the Spectre Steps has a fatal flaw. Right now, only gongzi can save me!”

The Eastern Islands female assassin seemed to be struggling internally, and finally, her knees caved in. Putong, she kneeled onto the floor and lowered her prideful head.

“Regardless of the means, gongzi, please save me!”

Then, she placed her hands on the floor and kneeled motionlessly, as though she had given up on all resistance.

At that instant, everyone was dumbstruck. Even Li Zhuxin was stunned as well!

It wasn’t too long ago that this female assassin was attacking them viciously. Yet, in the blink of an eye, she was kneeling on the floor, begging Wang Chong to save her.

This change in attitude was truly astounding!

“To think that this woman would actually kneel before the young master!”

Shen Hai and Meng Long found themselves at a loss for words. They turned to look at the young master beside them in admiration. Despite have lived more than thirty years, they had only seen such a spectacle from their young master.
