Chapter 521 - 514: Ninja
Chapter 521: Chapter 514: Ninja
Sisi chuckled at their dog-eat-dog scene, then loudly asked, "Hey, is that old coot Dan Yu Yilang dead yet?"
Dan Yu Changxiu felt a burst of rage upon hearing this. His grandfather was the person he respected the most in his life, revered like a god in his heart—how could he allow Sisi to insult his grandfather like that?
"Seeking death!"
Dan Yu Changxiu slapped his hands together twice with force, only to see about a dozen men in black suits suddenly appear ahead, as if they had been lying in ambush there all along.
Zuo Ming’s face turned pale with fright; it was over, completely over, they had really stirred up a hornet’s nest now!
Dan Yu Changxiu nodded at the dozen men, who then charged towards Sisi. Sisi smiled, put her finger in her mouth, and let out a loud whistle, its sharp sound piercing through the mountains instantly.
He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua heard Sisi’s signal and immediately led a few subordinates to rush over. They were some distance from Sisi, and by the time they arrived, Sisi had already thrown several flying knives.
However, these men were well-trained martial arts experts, and most of Sisi’s flying knives were dodged by them, except Tianye Minchuan, who had no martial arts skills and was struck by Sisi’s flying knife in the arm. The poison took effect, and he lay on the ground, unconscious.
Seeing that Sisi’s flying knives were poisoned, the hearts of those brought by Dan Yu Changxiu turned cold, and they instinctively protected Dan Yu Changxiu in the center.
Just as Sisi was down to her last flying knife, Tian Xinhua and the others finally arrived. Dan Yu Changxiu’s face changed dramatically, realizing that today’s operation was a complete failure. His heart sank, and he shouted "Retreat!" before leading the sprint up the mountain.
Sisi, who didn’t intend to let them escape so easily, charged towards Dan Yu Changxiu. His subordinates, desperate to rescue the Young Master, were entangled by Tian Xinhua and his group and couldn’t break free, helplessly watching as Sisi confronted the Young Master.
Dan Yu Changxiu was also not weak, and with a cold sneer, he threw a punch towards Sisi’s face. Sisi was not about to confront him head-on, spraying her high-concentration pepper water into Dan Yu Changxiu’s face.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream echoed as Dan Yu Changxiu covered his face and crouched down, feeling as if his eyes, nose, and mouth were burning like fire, a fate worse than death.
Sisi chuckled mischievously and sprayed a few more times on Dan Yu Changxiu’s body until she saw he had no strength left to fight back, and then she put the spray bottle away.
By then, Tian Xinhua and He Chengsi had subdued the dozen or so men, with He Chengsi’s men tying them up one by one.
Tian Xinhua jogged over, kicked the howling Dan Yu Changxiu on the ground, and gave Sisi a thumbs-up with a smile. Sisi proudly tilted her chin up, like a queen.
Sisi disdainfully looked at Dan Yu Changxiu on the ground and said to Tian Xinhua, "This guy must be that old coot’s grandson."
Thinking of her own great-grandparents and grandfather’s tragic deaths, Sisi felt a surge of anger and was eager to slaughter this man.
But she knew she couldn’t kill Dan Yu Changxiu now, as it would lead to international disputes. However, killing could also be scheduled, right?
Sisi’s eyes turned craftily, and she showed a sinister smile to the still whimpering Dan Yu Changxiu, then took out a bottle about the size of a Floral Dew bottle from her bag, unscrewed the cap, and poured the liquid inside into Dan Yu Changxiu’s mouth.
Dan Yu Changxiu felt a disgusting stench and wanted to vomit it out, but someone was pinching his chin, and the nauseating liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach.
After finishing a bottle of potion, Sisi smiled contently and kindly poured some clean water for Dan Yu Changxiu to rinse his mouth.
Now, Dan Yu Changxiu, who initially felt like vomiting due to the stench of the potion, couldn’t vomit, and had instead drunk every last drop.
"What... what did you give me to drink?"
Dan Yu Changxiu was greatly alarmed and frantically clawed at his throat, but he could only vomit a few mouthfuls of clean water.
Sisi giggled and said, "Nothing much, just a little trinket, it won’t kill you!"
Hearing it won’t kill, Dan Yu Changxiu sighed in relief and secretly felt smug, thinking that Sisi surely wouldn’t dare to do anything to him, right?
Seeing the self-important look on his face, Sisi scoffed coldly in her heart. Hmph, of course it won’t kill now, but who knows about a year or two from now!
It turned out that the poison Sisi fed Dan Yu Changxiu was her improved version of Seven-step Fall, only slightly diluted. However, because she gave him a large dose, it was enough to give Dan Yu Changxiu a hard time.
Zuo Ming and Shen Mingzhu had been scared out of their wits. Seeing that Sisi and the others hadn’t noticed them, they thought about sneaking away from this place. However, the moment they moved, they were caught by He Chengsi’s men, who bound them without a word.
Dan Yu Changxiu was also tied up; tears continuously streamed from his eyes, their sting fiery hot, yet his heart felt as though it plummeted into an ice pit. If Grandfather were to know of today’s events, he would surely be disappointed in him!
No, he Dan Yu Changxiu was the Dan Yu Family’s most outstanding heir, how could he so easily admit defeat?
Dan Yu Changxiu thought of his countermeasures and felt a sense of calm within his heart, but on the surface, he seemed completely despondent, as if he had resigned to his fate.
He Chengsi saw that everyone had been subdued and smiled in satisfaction, then called out to Sisi, "Ah Nan, let’s go."
Sisi responded and picked up the Flying knives scattered on the ground, then walked at the end of the group. In front of her were Tian Xinhua and Dan Yu Changxiu.
They had only walked a few steps when that sensation came again, as if a venomous snake was lurking nearby. Without a second thought, Sisi shouted, "Ambush!"
Right after her cry, a ’bang’ was heard, and everything in front suddenly became blurry as a pungent white smoke dispersed.
A chill went through Sisi’s heart, and every cell in her body was on high alert. A gust of wind attacked from the left; Sisi instinctively dodged to the right and shot out two Flying knives.
The attacker seemed unwilling to engage in prolonged combat, retreating immediately after missing the target. Tian Xinhua quickly reached Sisi’s side and shouted loudly to her, "Ah Nan, close your eyes and use your ears."
Sisi obediently closed her eyes. Free from visual distractions, her hearing was sharper than ever. Sensing a change in the wind direction behind her neck, Sisi threw another Flying knife without hesitation.
The white smoke lasted for two or three minutes before it slowly dissipated, and everyone’s vision began to recover, but the air still carried the residue of that irritating smell.
Fortunately, no one was injured or killed, except that Dan Yu Changxiu was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that the ninjas’ aim was directed at Dan Yu Changxiu and Sisi, but they didn’t succeed due to Sisi’s quick reaction.
Furthermore, there was now a man lying on the ground, wearing a grayish-brown robe, with a Flying knife stuck in his shoulder—presumably the ninja who had tried to ambush Sisi from behind.
