Chapter 236

“But if the assassin’s target isn’t me, then there’s a better way.”

"It's you who should be calling for reinforcements, not me." When Lian Sisi heard Shi Li say this, she didn't run away; instead, she went straight to meet the challenge.

He and Shili turned completely around, almost making Shili scream.

But then something outrageous happened.

The assassin barely managed to stop his weapon, narrowly avoiding severing Lian Sisi's neck.

Shi Li was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you crazy!!!" Shi Li exerted force, and Lian Sisi even groaned in pain.

"I'm not crazy."

"You bastard, you don't dare kill me?"

"Then you've met your match." Lian Sisi burst out laughing as she watched the assassin in front of her become truly hesitant.

She hadn't expected the assassin to be so difficult to conceal.

This exposed a major vulnerability.

He looks like an assassin who hasn't received any professional training.

It's even possible that the person in question wasn't an assassin at all, but simply someone with some fighting skills who was sent out on this assassination mission.

Perhaps the person who issued this task did not expect that Shili would have superpowers, that a delicate female body could dodge several attacks.

This time, the enemy must have completely underestimated us.

Shi Li also realized what was happening and quickly hid behind Lian Sisi.

So we were completely going in the wrong direction.

She was afraid the other party would harm Lian Sisi, so she kept protecting her. In the end, her biggest lifeline was Lian Sisi herself.

Laugh to death.

"Lili, go. Don't trust anyone. Go directly to the palace to find Joan and Ido." Lian Sisi didn't turn around, but calmly told Shili to leave.

Since this guy didn't dare to kill her, Lian Sisi was almost certain that he was sent by someone from the palace.

Only those who appeared in the palace hall today knew that she was a future princess.

Lian Sisi had a candidate in mind, but she still felt it was too far-fetched, so she didn't tell Shi Li at this time.

They were also afraid that this choice would make Shi Li lose her composure.

Even Lian Sisi herself thought it was outrageous.

"But you're here by yourself, there's no guarantee he won't get angry and embarrassed."

"I" Shi Li was still a little hesitant.

But Lian Sisi had already given her no chance.

He pushed her away forcefully, even causing Shi Li to stumble.

He almost fell over.

The assassin thought he had found a good opportunity and was about to attack Shi Li when he saw Lian Sisi step between the two.

The assassin felt his heart was about to give way.

How could Lian Sisi jump so fast!
"Why aren't you leaving? I'll stop him!" Taking advantage of the assassin's distraction, Lian Sisi mustered her courage and kicked him.

Shili also took the opportunity to run out the door.

After she came out, Shi Li felt that everyone around her might be capable of harming her.

There couldn't have been only one assassin!
Shi Li grew increasingly anxious as she thought about it; there was still quite a distance between here and the palace.

The palace occupies a large area, and this is a commercial district, so placing it here would take up too much space. She needs to find a way to get around first.

Looking at the unfamiliar city, Shi Li felt a headache coming on.

Suddenly remembering that he had a terminal, he quickly found a group of people and called Joan.

But there was no response from the other side for a long time.

Shili called Ido again.

The two of them seemed to have made a pact to ignore each other.

Should we call those beastmen on Yanhes Star?

But having come all the way from Yanhesi Star, she probably already found her own way to the palace.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Li sent a message to Bai Qingye.

In this situation, she only dared to send messages to Bai Qingye.

If it were a message to someone else, they wouldn't care about what Shi Li said afterward: "[Don't come over for now, I just can't contact Joan. If I don't reply in two hours, come find me on Hailan Star.]"

Only Bai Qingye was capable of listening to her next sentence.

The others will definitely set off immediately.

Before Bai Qingye could reply, Shi Li closed the terminal and began searching for transportation.

It seems that taxis don't exist in her world here.

Whoosh! Another hidden arrow came, and Shi Li quickly rolled away to dodge it.

Another gasp rippled through the crowd, and the residents were gripped by panic.

No one expected such a dangerous thing to happen in the business district.

What's terrifying this time is that Shi Li couldn't even see where the arrow came from.

There's no time to find the source now; people are fleeing all around.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Shi Li climbed into the car of someone who was about to drive away from there.

The man had just opened the car door to get in when he had no idea who this female was who had suddenly jumped in so quickly!
The bewildered male stared blankly at Shi Li's pretty little face.

I was somewhat lost in thought.

"Can you take me to the palace? It's too dangerous here. I got separated from my family." Seeing that the guy was stunned, Shi Li instantly changed to a weak and pitiful appearance.

"Huh? You live in the palace?" It turned out that the male wasn't completely fooled, although fear made him instinctively start the car first.

But I still couldn't help asking.

As far as he knew, the king and queen only had two princes, no princesses.

I've never heard of any noble family's daughter having the honor of living in the palace.

If you get separated from your family, shouldn't you go home?
While thinking of what to say, Shi Li gently stroked the car window, trying to use her mental power to take control of the car.

"I don't know either. My family wanted to take me to the palace. It seems they were going to arrange a marriage for the eldest prince."

"I'm not the only one; there are several other young ladies from different families as well."

"I didn't bring enough matching jewelry, so I came to buy some, but then this happened."

"My family is all in the palace. My parents value this blind date a lot. What would it mean if I went straight home?" Shi Li said, pretending to be on the verge of tears.

But he was secretly applying force with his hands.

In just a moment, the male discovered that his steering wheel seemed to be malfunctioning.

He clearly wanted to drive his car home!
He picked up a pretty female at random. He was having a headache because he didn't have enough money to marry a female, so how could he let this one, which was delivered to his doorstep, go?
God knows why this car went out of control!

It could even turn completely around.

The male couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Take me to the palace. My family will not mistreat you."

"I will have my parents reward you handsomely." Shi Li certainly wanted to drive the car directly to the palace gate.

But now a very serious problem is stopping her. That is, she doesn't know the way to the palace at all.

If you want to get to the palace, you still have to rely on this local!

Moreover, Shi Li just saw a short arrow hit the car window.

Shi Li couldn't tell whether it was an accidental injury or if he had actually seen her get into the car and tried to smash the window.

"Can they give me a female?"

"Females are so rare, and you're so beautiful. I can't find a wife, so I need to be comforted too."

"Beauty~" Who would have thought that this guy would stop acting altogether, making Shi Li feel a chill.

She suppressed the urge to kick him to death and spoke to him gently.

"They can give it to me, I have a younger sister," Shi Li continued, making up a story.

She really didn't know the way and was afraid that she would anger this person or accidentally kill him, in which case she would really be unable to go to the palace.

"My sister is nowhere near as good as the one in front of me!" But who knew this guy wouldn't budge!
Shi Li didn't hold back and slapped him hard across the face.

The male was completely stunned by the slap and immediately became enraged, wanting to retaliate.

Who knew that Shi Li wasn't afraid of him at all, and directly reached out and hit him again from the other side!

And what's even more bizarre is that he clearly released the start switch, so how come the car is still moving!
Touching the bloodstains flowing from his nostrils, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He reached out and even moved the steering wheel again, only to find that the car was still continuing in the same direction.

It seems like this steering wheel is just for show!
"I don't need you now. Just tell me which direction leads to the palace."

"Behave yourself, or I'll kill you." Shi Li had lost her patience.

She initially did not intend to cause unnecessary panic among ordinary citizens.

Who knew this guy would be so shameless? Well then, she can't blame her for using special methods.

Sure enough, some people only respond to force and not persuasion; they were easily subdued.

Tell Shi Li honestly how to get to the palace.

Shi Li got out of the carriage when they arrived at the palace gate.

"If you dare utter a single word that you shouldn't say, I can remotely control your car and take you off a cliff!" Shi Li added as a final threat.

It wasn't for any particular reason, but I was just afraid that rumors would spread that would damage my reputation.

After all, she and Joan are now bound together, and once they get married, everyone will know about it.

Her reputation is Joan's reputation.

We cannot be careless.

"Yes! Yes! I understand, Grandma!" The male was so frightened that he was practically trembling, nodding vigorously.

"Get lost!" Shi Li gave the order, and the male didn't even dare to look at her again, driving off in a flash.

Who knows, from today onwards, this guy might develop a phobia of pretty females.

If that's really the case, then it might not be such a bad thing.

Shi Li walked directly through the main gate, pausing the guards' time, and quickly entered the palace.

They first ran to the room they had stayed in, but found no one there. They then ran to Edo and Joan's place, but there was no sound at all.

This put Shili in a difficult position.

"Damn it, where am I supposed to look for this?"

"Being unfamiliar with the place and its people, we suffered because we didn't know the way!" Shi Li stomped her foot angrily.

But stomping your feet won't solve anything; you still have to find the person.

Shi Li started a crazy brainstorming session: would an assassin really dare to chase someone all the way to the palace?

Her pause was only temporary; the guards had already regained their mobility.

He began to recall the outrageous aspects of the assassination attempt.

“If we don’t kill Sisi now, Joan and Ido won’t be able to find her.”

"There are no security guards patrolling the mall." All indications suggest this.

The schemer values ​​Lian Sisi highly, or there's a rule that only Shi Li's life matters.

However, if you take action in public, you can hardly guarantee the safety of others.

After all, when they were outside the mall, the second assassin didn't care that Shi Li was walking in a crowd.

If the technique is even slightly inferior, or if some other accident occurs, innocent civilians will be the ones shot.

So it's more likely that he only cares about Lian Sisi.

As for the lack of guards, the guards were all directly dispatched by the royal palace to protect the city-state's security.

Thinking of this, Shi Li slowly closed her eyes, her head throbbing with pain.

"You hate me that much?" To meet these conditions, one must first have the power, and secondly, one must actually have a grudge against Shi Li.

The only one who fits all these criteria is the Queen!

However, she did nothing too outrageous towards the Queen; she simply married one of her sons.

As for?
As for taking her life?

Or was her marriage to Joan a pretext to kill the high and mighty queen?

Shi Li couldn't understand it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and ran straight towards the Queen's palace.

No one stopped Shi Li along the way, until a servant suddenly grabbed her hand at the entrance of the main hall.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Shi Li looked at her hand. She remembered this servant; she was a close attendant of the Queen and was often seen standing not far from the Queen in the hall.

Her name seems to be Cassandra.

At this moment, Cassandra seemed a little nervous.

"Can't I be here?" Shi Li asked with a half-smile, seemingly wanting to shake off the girl's hand.
She doesn't have time to waste on other people right now.

"You'd better leave now, the Queen is in a bad mood, and she's angry with you."

“Lately, I feel that the Queen is becoming more and more emotional. She wants to do something to you!” Cassan’s thoughts were actually very simple. She thought that Shi Li was a good person. Although she and the Second Prince had a very ugly falling out before, it was not hard to see now that the two of them had a really good relationship.

Cassan felt a pang of guilt; she thought the Queen had gone too far.

Why make everyone feel bad?

"Trying to attack me?" Shi Li couldn't help but sneer. This wasn't just about wanting to attack her; they were already making their move.

Even Shi Li initially suspected that someone might have sown discord between her and the Queen, but now it seems that might not be the case.

The queen simply disliked her.

But, has he already hated her to the point of wanting her dead?

"I know, but did you see the two princes?" Shi Li forced herself to calm down and focus on dealing with the immediate matter.

If the assassin was indeed sent by the Queen, then Lian Sisi should be safe from any danger.

"I didn't see her. You should leave quickly; it's not safe for you here." Seeing that Cassan was genuinely concerned for her safety, Shi Li couldn't help but feel touched.

"Aren't you afraid that the Queen will find out you told me these things and then take her anger out on you?"

"You're really brave." Shi Li reached out and squeezed Cassan's hand back.

They had only met once before; this was the first time they had spoken face-to-face.

Shi Li really didn't expect that there would be anyone here who would be willing to think of her.

"Because I admire you so much, I don't want anything to happen to you. Someone like you shouldn't be treated like this."
