Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Abducting the Mysterious Assassin Jing Ni
Legend of Qin's World.
State of Wei.
City of Daliang.
Within the grand estate of Prince Xinling.
On this day, the Prince's residence was adorned with festive decorations, and the halls were filled with joyous laughter as guests gathered to celebrate.
As one of the Four Noble Princes of the Warring States, Prince Xinling, Wei Wuji, was renowned far and wide. His reputation even surpassed that of the current King of Wei.
Although this wedding was not for his principal wife, the number of well-wishers was still considerable.
Amid the crowd of congratulatory toasts, Wei Wuji's face was glowing with delight. He was utterly enamored with the bride he married today—more so than with any of his previous consorts.
It wasn't just her stunning beauty that captivated him, but also her serene and refined demeanor. Even a seasoned man like him, well-versed in romantic escapades, found himself utterly enthralled.
Inside the bridal chamber, everything was draped in vibrant red.
Wei Wuji's newlywed bride sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her face concealed beneath a red veil. Her posture was composed, exuding an air of serene elegance, like a flawless statue.
Suddenly—
A ripple, like that of water, appeared in the air without warning. A mysterious portal shimmered into existence, and a figure of unparalleled poise, Zhou Yi, stepped through it, striding confidently toward the bride.
Through the subtle gap beneath her veil, Jing Ni caught sight of a pair of unfamiliar feet standing before her. Her pupils contracted in shock, and her usually calm, indifferent face showed a rare hint of alarm.
"Who is it?"
"How could someone approach me without a sound?"
Her mind raced. As a top-tier assassin from the infamous Net Trap organization, feared by countless individuals, she suppressed any reaction and refrained from making a move.
Instead, her thoughts churned furiously.
"The design and material of these shoes are peculiar—unlike anything I've seen before. This cannot be Wei Wuji. Though he is skilled, he could never approach me undetected!"
"Could this be one of Wei Wuji's hidden experts testing me?"
Her vigilance heightened as she pondered this possibility. Even her previously tensed body relaxed slightly, continuing her act as a modest and unassuming woman from a respectable family.
Zhou Yi stepped closer to the motionless Jing Ni. With a casual motion, he lifted the veil, revealing an exquisitely flawless face.
The bride shyly raised her head, hesitating as if genuinely startled by Zhou Yi's presence. Her expression shifted from confusion to fear as she stammered, "You… Who are you?"
"Impressive! Truly one of the most professional assassins in the Net Trap organization."
Zhou Yi chuckled, his tone laced with admiration.
"This is what I call dedication to one's craft!"
Actors from the modern era, he mused, couldn't hold a candle to Jing Ni's performance.
But of course, that made sense.
Modern actors only needed to feign emotions for fame and wealth. Jing Ni, on the other hand, acted with her life on the line. A single misstep could cost her everything.
"Help! Someone help me…"
Despite her inner turmoil, Jing Ni's cries for help remained impeccable. She dared not break character, as she wasn't sure if this was all a ploy to test her.
"This entire space is sealed. Even if you scream until your throat gives out, no one will come," Zhou Yi remarked playfully, his gaze sweeping over her.
Her beauty was unparalleled. Her skin glowed like jade, with a delicate blush like blooming peach blossoms. Each feature was exquisite, her complexion translucent as if carved from moonlight itself.
Despite her outwardly terrified cries for help, her composure betrayed her. Gathering her courage, she forced herself to remain resolute, warning sharply:
"I don't know who you are, but this is Prince Xinling's estate! If you dare harm me, the Prince will never let you go…"
"Alright, enough theatrics."
Zhou Yi cut her off, plopping himself onto the bed beside her. With a swift motion, he pulled her slender waist into his grasp.
"Let me go… Someone, help!"
Still, Jing Ni refrained from revealing her martial prowess, as if clinging to one last hope of avoiding exposure.
A sudden burst of overwhelming energy radiated from Zhou Yi, pressing down on her like an unyielding mountain.
Crack! Crack!
The bones throughout Jing Ni's body creaked under the pressure. Her previously fearful gaze turned cold and emotionless as she stared icily at Zhou Yi.
"Who are you?"
"You clearly aren't one of Wei Wuji's men."
"Naturally," Zhou Yi replied with a faint smile, taking hold of her delicate hand.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yi—Zhou as in the Zhou Dynasty, Yi as in the Book of Changes."
"What do you want from me?"
Jing Ni's serene gaze betrayed a trace of confusion. Zhou Yi's overwhelming power far exceeded anything she'd encountered before. Even legendary figures like Guiguzi or Beimingzi paled in comparison.
Why would someone of such caliber seek her out?
"I want you," Zhou Yi said bluntly.
Jing Ni froze, utterly baffled by his reply. A man of such extraordinary power desired her? Surely he wasn't interested in her appearance.
"What do you mean?" she asked cautiously.
"You," Zhou Yi replied with a mischievous grin, "to bear my children."
Jing Ni was rendered speechless. Her typically icy demeanor cracked slightly as she stared at him, wondering if he had lost his mind from cultivating too intensely.
Zhou Yi continued, undeterred, "I know you've long grown tired of the assassin's life under the Net Trap organization. That place… It's no place for humans to live. Constantly on missions, with no semblance of a personal life, you're treated like a tool—discarded when broken."
He paused, his gaze softening.
"Even pregnant assassins are denied rest. But with me, everything will change. I'll take you to a world without the Net Trap, where you can live in peace and raise our child."
Jing Ni blinked, incredulous. Was this man serious? Or had he truly gone mad?
"Don't believe me?" Zhou Yi asked with a smirk. He gestured, and a shimmering portal reappeared, revealing a glimpse of an entirely different world.
Jing Ni stared in awe, curiosity mingling with disbelief. Her expertise allowed her to see through illusions, yet this portal seemed entirely real.
"If you agree, you'll see for yourself one day."
Zhou Yi tilted her chin upward, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"So, what will it be? Will you be my woman? As for the Net Trap? Even in this world, it's nothing but a paper tiger to me. Send as many as they wish—I'll crush them all."
His confidence and sheer dominance left Jing Ni momentarily dazed. She realized this might be her only chance to escape her suffocating existence.
After a long pause, she looked up at him, her voice as cool and composed as ever:
"I agree."
