NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19: Chapter 19 My Hero Came on a Rainbow Cloud!
"What the hell are you doing?"
As the local thugs were somewhat caught up in the mood of the scene, a brusque reprimand from the entrance of the alley shattered the atmosphere.
A middle-aged man with a wolf head tattooed on his arm, flanked by a group of thugs, quickly marched into the alley.
It was none other than the leader of another major underworld force in Cloud City, Old Wolf Wu.
"Just three men, and all of you just stand there watching, waiting for them to have kids or what?" Old Wolf Wu angrily berated his men, "Top brass said we have to take down Su Yixue today, no matter what, dead or alive. Get on it."
After Old Wolf Wu's shout, he extended his hand to a subordinate beside him and pulled out a battle saber, stepping forward and charging toward Zhao Datou.
Seeing their boss personally entering the fray, where would his men dare to dawdle? They all swarmed forward, shouting, "Kill!"
Zhao Datou, though brave, was unfortunately only with three people.
It didn't take more than a couple of exchanges before he was overpowered and pinned to the ground by the crowd.
By this time, Su Yixue was completely surrounded by a gang of thugs.
Old Wolf Wu stared at Su Yixue like prey, "They say Miss Su is the most beautiful woman in Cloud City, too bad she's to waste on that idiot! How about this, Miss Su, agree to spend a wonderful night with me, and I guarantee a swift end for you?"
The greedy look in Old Wolf Wu's eyes as he stared at Su Yixue was unmistakable.
Normally, someone like Su Yixue would be out of Old Wolf Wu's league even in his dreams.
But this time, with clear instructions from above, killing or humiliating Su Yixue would count as a great achievement; thus, Old Wolf Wu had no reservations.
"Don't... Don't come any closer..." Su Yixue picked up a battle saber from the ground, holding it in front of her, "Don't even think about touching a hair on my head. Even in death, I will not let you take advantage of me!"
After her intimate encounter with Ye Fan the day before, Su Yixue could clearly feel that her body had warmed up quite a bit, filling her with strength and even traces of Martial Breath.
With the battle saber in hand, Su Yixue felt no fear.
"You little girl, at a time like this, you're still trying to act tough..."
A minor thug standing beside Old Wolf Wu couldn't help but rush forward first, hoping to earn merit.
But as soon as he got close to Su Yixue, she flicked her wrist, and the battle saber in her hand swiftly chopped at the thug's fingers.
Splat!
The thug didn't react in time, and in an instant, his arm was severed completely.
Hiss!
This scene stunned everyone there.
In their intelligence reports, there was no mention of Su Yixue knowing martial arts.
But the actions Su Yixue was performing now, the proficiency, clearly indicated she was trained. What was going on?
Even Su Yixue was shocked by her own actions. The way she brandished the battle saber seemed almost instinctive.
Since when did she know Martial Arts?
In the flash of a moment, Su Yixue thought of the warmth that had transferred from Ye Fan to herself during their recent interactions!
Could it be the influence of that warmth?
Ye Fan really was a freakish genius. Though her IQ was affected, could the warmth resulting from their intimacy actually possess such magic power?
The once desperate Su Yixue now felt a bit more confident in her heart.
If she held on for a few more minutes, perhaps a miracle could happen?
If Ye Fan was pretending to be a fool, and he knew she was in danger, would he come to save her?
Riding his multicolored auspicious clouds to rescue her?
Would her hero come for her?
As she imagined the scene, Su Yixue couldn't help but smile.
During the escape earlier, Su Yixue had no chance to notify anyone. How could Ye Fan possibly know about her situation?
Su Yixue's sudden burst of strength only caused the thugs to hesitate momentarily.
But a few seconds later, Old Wolf Wu was thoroughly enraged, "Brothers, don't hesitate! Kill her right away to avoid any more complications!"
The fact that Su Yixue knew martial arts was a very bad sign.
Old Wolf Wu feared the longer the delay, the greater the chance of unforeseen trouble.
Regardless, the task given from above had to be completed first.
The crowd surrounded her once more, and Su Yixue, though instinctively wielding her battle saber to block for a moment, lacked experience on one hand and, on the other, the number of opponents was indeed overwhelming!
Clang!
The battle saber in Su Yixue's hand was knocked flying away, and she was now unarmed!
Above Su Yixue's head, numerous glinting battle sabers, without any hesitation, chopped down towards her with great speed.
The order from above was clear, to kill Su Yixue as a warning to others!
Therefore, at that moment, Old Wolf Wu and the others had only one thought in mind, to kill Su Yixue!
"Goodbye, Xiao Fan!" Su Yixue closed her eyes in despair, thinking of the blissful night before and feeling an infinite sense of regret, "If there is an afterlife, I will be your wife again. You must... take good care..."
"Wife! Don't be afraid, I've come to save you!"
In her confusion, Su Yixue suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Was it Ye Fan?
Was she experiencing an auditory hallucination?
Had Ye Fan really come at this moment?
Humming!
While everyone was still wondering where the sound was coming from, at the mouth of the alley, a figure on a motorbike roared into view.
Apparently finding the crowd in his way, the motorbike suddenly reared up, roaring and charging straight over the alley's surrounding walls.
It was none other than Ye Fan, who had hurried over.
Ye Fan, riding on the motorbike, stared intently at Su Yixue amidst the flashing blades, anger flickering in his eyes, which were also filled with tenderness.
Was it really Ye Fan who had come?
Her greatest hero had truly arrived on a rainbow cloud to save her in her most desperate moment?
Seeing clearly that it was indeed Ye Fan who had come, the light that had faded from Su Yixue's eyes filled with color in an instant.
If she were to die now, she would have no regrets!
Although Ye Fan might still be foolish, Ye Fan had true affection!
All her efforts had been worth it!
Ye Fan, on his motorbike with the throttle turned to the max, made every action in the alley seem to slow down for a moment.
At this point, Ye Fan didn't hold back at all, and his figure moved with extreme speed.
As the motorbike was about to rush beside Su Yixue, Ye Fan kicked off the ground, and the moment the bike landed, performed a 360-degree tail swing, sweeping all the thugs attacking Su Yixue off their feet.
The cold, flashing battle sabers had cut several strands of Su Yixue's hair but ultimately were knocked away in a moment that was millimeters away from her skin!
Ye Fan descended from the sky, holding Su Yixue tightly in his embrace like a Heavenly God incarnate, "Yixue, my wife, you scared me to death, it's so good that you're alright! So good!"
Su Yixue was stunned by such a sight of Ye Fan.
Wasn't this the exceptional genius, the pride of the heavens?
This was the final torchbearer of the Ye Family that they had to protect!
"Xiao Fan, you've awakened, haven't you?" After coming to her senses, Su Yixue joyously held Ye Fan's cheeks, shaking them vigorously.
If Ye Fan had awakened at this moment, then there was hope for the Ye Family, and the sisters' vigil would have been worth it...
