Chapter 84: Tearing one’s face to pieces
The Mayor’s Palace, from the main gates to the corridor and the garden to the courtyard, every three steps was a guard and every five steps was a sentry post.The elite bodyguards were patrolling back and forth, they were several times more alert compared to usual.
Inside of a silent room, it was filled with an unpleasant smelling medicinal smell.
A 15-16 year old girl was lying down on the bed, her eyes were closed.Her forehead was filled with pain and with every breath, a chest tearing pain spread over her body.
“Cough, cough!”
Meng Yingying gave two violent coughs and a small mouthful of blood came out.Quickly taking a towel to wipe her chin, her full chest kept fluctuating making her appear very uncomfortable.After a while, it slowly subsided.
Compared to ten days ago, Meng Yingying’s entire figure became thinner.Her fine and delicate face had turned pale and was completely lacking in blood red colour.
At this moment, she forcefully suppressed a cough, to keep everyone else from worrying.
This obedient and weak appearance, there was no one that could not pity her.
At this time from outside the room, the sounds of footsteps could be heard.Meng Yingying scratched off the dry blood from her chin and threw the blood soaked towel under the bed.Pulling up her blankets, she pretended to be asleep.
“Yingying, are you feeling a little better?”
A voice full of attractiveness rang out.
“Quickly wake up, Xiong Tianyan has some medicine for you.”A tall and beautiful girl wearing white clothes walked in.She was carrying a bowl of medicine as she sat down beside the bed, “Quickly drink this, it will help ease your injury!”
Meng Yingying opened her eyes and instantly sat up.Her small face filled with a happy smile as she patted her chest and said, “After sleeping a bit, I feel much better!Elder Sister, don’t worry about me.There’s nothing to be worried about, my body is already alright.I’ve practiced the Starlight Immortal Body!Those fellows want to kill me?Humph!”
The little girl proudly raised her head.
Meng Qingwu gave a sigh, “Stop pretending to be strong, drink your medicine!”
“Wa, what kind of medicine is this!It smells like rotten eggs!”Meng Yingying gave a bitter face, “Can I not drink it?”
“You have to drink it!”
Meng Yingying reluctantly took the bowl, “Right now the city is chaotic, Elder Sister should go and manage the company.I don’t need you to worry about me, I can take care of myself.”
“At this time, it’s better for Nangong to go out instead of me.You just need to obediently listen and quickly drink your medicine.”How could Meng Qingwu not know that Yingying was pretending to be strong?She wished that she could bear the pain for her sister.She suddenly thought of something, “If nothing goes wrong, Chu Tian should be back in next two days.It’s not as if you don’t know his temper, if he sees you like this, who knows how angry he’ll be.Then……I have no way to even think of it!”
Humph!
Was there a need to say it?
If Chu Tian knew that I was being bullied!
He would definitely get revenge for me without any hesitation!
This was a fact that Meng Yingying did not doubt!
Meng Yingying’s heart felt a little happy, but the way Chu Tian heavy handed way of doing things and his fearless disposition.If he went out now, wouldn’t that equal sending himself into a trap?
Not good!
Not good!
The Chu and Ye Families both had countless experts, a big pile of Awakened Soul Cultivators.With this kind of terrifying lineup, even the Mayor tries to avoid entering a direct confrontation with them.How could Chu Tian possibly go against them?
“The matter of me being injured, we can’t tell him!”
“Relax, I know.”
Meng Yingying lifted the medicine and drank it all in a single breath, then she showed a disgusted face, “What kind of medicine did Old Xiong make?It’s so bitter!I bet that the medicine that Chu Tian makes would taste much better!”
Meng Qingwu helplessly smiled.
This little girl mentioned Chu Tian every other three sentences.
Xiong Tianyan’s medicine was hard to drink, but it was very effective.After Meng Yingying drank it, her injuries already began to feel better.She was very satisfied with the medicine’s efficacy and made the decision to heal up before Chu Tian could come back.
At this time.
There was a commotion coming from outside!
From the direction of Mayor’s main hall, there were quarrelling sounds.
The two sisters instantly became vigilant.Recently the situation was very tense and even though they were in the Mayor’s Palace, it didn’t mean that they would be safe.So the two of them were frightened.
Meng Yingying lifted the blanket and her smooth white feet came off the bed.
Meng Qingwu hurried over to support her, “You injuries still haven’t healed, don’t move around randomly!”
Meng Yingying shook her head and said, “I think there’s been an accident, let’s go take a look!”
Meng Qingwu didn’t have any other ways.
She could only support Meng Yingying as she left the room.
Right outside Meng Yingying’s recovery room was actually the Mayor Palace’s main hall.Everything was in a mess as Nangong Yun wore his Mayor’s robe and sat on his Mayor’s throne.Several Nangong Family guards in heavy armor were by his side.
Inside the main hall, there were several people wearing official looking long robes.Their faces were filled with arrogance as they confronted Nangong Yi.
A white headed old man had a scroll in his hand as he loudly shouted, “Nangong Yi, I am Luo Feng from the Main City’s Supervisor Palace.We suspect that Chu Tian is hiding in the Mayor’s Palace, please cooperate with our search!”
“You bringing me a reason, perhaps you don’t think it is funny?”Nangong Yi coldly laughed, “You came to search the day before yesterday and today you’re coming again.Do you think that the Mayor’s Palace is a garbage heap in your backyard?Before this Mayor becomes angry, scram!”
“Nangong Yi!What kind of attitude is this!”
“South Sky City does not belong to you!”
“My current attitude is still very good, so I urge you not to take things too far!”Nangong Yi stood up and turned around to show his back.He impatiently waved his hand, “See them out!”
The dozen Mayor Palace bodyguards encircled them.
“Scram!”
Luo Feng’s spirit energy flowed out as the spirit energy condensed into a source spirit.A pair of palms shot forward and the dozen people were sent flying, all of them suffering heavy injuries.
This……
The remaining guards revealed a look of dread.
Luo Feng was clearly an Awakened Soul Realm expert.If they wanted to take him away, they would have to suffer a large price.
Nangong Yi’s face darkened.A strong and dignified aura was released, instantly filling the entire hall.It made it hard for people to breathe, “Injuring the Mayor’s bodyguards in front of the Mayor, are you trying to force my hand?”
“Nangong Yi, I urge you not to feign ignorance!”Luo Feng did not have a trace of fear.Now that the Ye Family’s experts had arrived in South Sky City, how was it not possible for him to kill Nangong Yi?”
