Chapter 212 Call Me Shui Rou
As the two were talking, the aliens in the restaurant suddenly attacked Su Yan. The guards instantly rushed forward, firing crossbows at the attackers.
"Quickly, protect the princess!"
The guards surrounded Su Yan in layers, and someone quickly sent out a distress signal into the air. The restaurant was thrown into chaos. The martial arts masters hurriedly retreated, but some experts and forces remained to observe.
Upon seeing that the attackers were actually ** people, Dugu Feng angrily shouted:
"**People? How dare you attempt to assassinate the princess within the city of Luoyang!"
Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, however, remained unconcerned and calmly stated:
"Why not? We are already at war with the Sui Dynasty, and today we have the rare opportunity to meet the daughter of Lord Wu Xiang. How could we let such a good opportunity pass us by?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing immediately charged towards the enemy. Ximen Chuixue did not move, only glancing at Su Yan and gently shaking his head—he truly liked this girl, and had even taught her the Snowdrift Sword Technique. Su Yan possessed astonishing talent; in less than half a month, she had mastered the sword technique to perfection, even surprising Ximen Chuixue.
"Second Uncle, go help Uncle Lu and the others. My aunt is here, I'll be fine."
"Okay, be careful."
Ximen Chuixue glanced at the Night Emperor's wife and nodded to Su Yan. Although he wasn't sure if this woman was truly Su Qingfeng's wife, Su Yan's address suggested a close relationship. Realizing the leader was a Grandmaster, and that Lu Xiaofeng and the others were no match for him, he said no more and joined the battle.
Hearing this, Lady Night felt even more helpless. When had she agreed to protect this girl? She had come to kill her father, so how did she suddenly become her daughter's bodyguard?
boom!
cough cough...
"Master thief, are you alright?"
"He's not dead yet. This is a Grandmaster, we have to attack him together." Sikong Zhaixing, who was spitting blood after being struck by Martial Venerable Bi Xuan's palm, struggled to get up and said urgently.
Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, and Sikong Zhaixing exchanged a glance and charged towards Martial Venerable Bi Xuan. Facing a Grandmaster, they had no chance of victory without joining forces; even with their combined strength, they might not be able to defeat him. They could only try their best to stall for time and wait for Wu Xiangjun to arrive.
"Go, seize that young princess. Hand over these three to me."
"Yes, sir!"
Martial Venerable Bi Xuan's men rushed towards the secret guards. These men were all experts at the peak of the Innate Realm. Although the secret guards were numerous, the tavern was cramped and they could not surround the guards. They could only defend themselves step by step.
The guards fell one after another, and the enemy gradually approached Su Yan's location. The other martial artists in the tavern, seeing that Wu Xiangjun's daughter was about to fall into enemy hands, wanted to help—if they could save the young princess, Wu Xiangjun would surely reward them handsomely—but the Grandmaster-level leader they were facing filled them with despair. They hesitated, none daring to act rashly.
At this moment, seeing that the enemy was about to reach Su Qingfeng's daughter, Song Yuzhi hurriedly said to her father:
"Father, aren't we going to rescue the young princess?"
Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, looked at Fu Cailin of Goryeo with a gloomy expression. He knew that if he made a move, Fu Cailin would definitely stop him.
"Help! These thieves dare to be so rampant in the Central Plains. Martial Venerable Bi Xuan is courting death."
As soon as Song Que stood up, Fu Cailin also stood up and blocked his way:
"Song Que, you should rest here. You can't interfere in what's happening here."
Song Que's heart sank: Fu Cailin had indeed joined forces with Martial Venerable Bi Xuan. With him blocking the way, the young princess was likely in grave danger.
"Fu Cailin, you coward, are you courting death?"
"Hahaha, Song Que, I admit I'm not as good as you, but holding you back isn't difficult. As long as Martial Venerable Bi Xuan captures the little princess, what can you do?"

Lady Ye reconsidered and realized she might be overthinking things. Su Yan was only six or seven years old; even if she was clever, she couldn't possibly guess that she was there to kill her father.
Seeing that the Night Emperor's wife was no longer pressing the matter, Su Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She needed to find a way to get away from this dangerous woman as soon as possible—she had been far too careless to have delivered herself into this situation.
On the other side, Martial Venerable Bi Xuan was shocked to find that all his subordinates had been killed. These were all his personally trained weapons, each with considerable strength. How could they have been wiped out in the blink of an eye?
**Sizzle—**
Just as Bi Xuan was filled with doubt and surprise, a sense of crisis suddenly struck him. He hurriedly dodged backward, but he was still a step too slow. A broken blade grazed his shoulder; if he hadn't retreated quickly, his throat would probably have been cut.
"Who goes there?!"
Bi Xuan's arm was injured, and when he looked up again, the black-clad assassin had vanished without a trace. He hadn't even noticed how the other party had hidden himself.
"The Spiritual Finger!"
"A Snowflake's Strike!"
"A phoenix soars into the sky!"
"**, watch me steal it with my bare hands!"
Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, looked at Fu Cailin and smiled, saying, "Oh? You really think you can escape? Don't forget this is Luoyang—this restaurant is probably already surrounded by tens of thousands of troops. Fu Cailin, are you confident you can escape from such a massive army?"
Fu Cailin's heart skipped a beat. He had indeed forgotten about Wu Xiangjun's army. This place was very close to Yuema Bridge, where 20,000 soldiers were stationed. They must have already surrounded the restaurant.
Fu Cailin had no confidence in breaking through the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops and numerous grandmasters. If he were to be entangled by the experts here, he feared he would truly perish here.
Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang felt fear upon hearing Song Que's words. Surrounded by a large army, it was impossible for them, with their innate cultivation levels, to escape.
At this moment, Shang Xiuxun, Shang Xiufang, Bai Qing'er, Song Yuhua, Xue Nu, and others led their guards upstairs. The sudden appearance of a group of stunningly beautiful women dazzled the martial arts enthusiasts in the building; it was truly a sight to behold.
"younger sister!"
Seeing that Song Yuzhi was injured, Song Yuhua rushed forward to help.
Xue Nu glanced at the situation and immediately ordered, "Bai Qing'er, go help Song Yuhua. Shang Xiuxun and Shang Xiufang, come with me to protect Su Yan."
"Yes, Snow Woman."
When Xue Nu and the others arrived at Su Yan's side, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Su Yan was alright; otherwise, Su Qingfeng would have gone mad. It seemed that none of the alien tribes who had infiltrated Luoyang could be allowed to live—in any case, the city was already surrounded by troops, and no one could expect to leave alive.
"Aunt Yuki-onna, you've arrived!"
Upon seeing Xue Nu and Shang Xiu Ke, Su Yan immediately ran forward and hugged Xue Nu. Taking advantage of the Night Emperor's wife's inattention, she secretly tapped Xue Nu a few times. Su Yan didn't know if Xue Nu could understand, but this was the only way she could convey the message—the Night Emperor's wife was too powerful, and she would be detected if she wasn't careful.
The Snow Maiden was happily embracing Su Yan, thinking the little girl was just being affectionate, but suddenly she felt Su Yan lightly touch her and subtly give her a wink. The Snow Maiden immediately became alert.
She pretended nothing had happened and whispered to Su Yan, "You silly girl, don't ever leave the manor on your own again. Luoyang is in such a mess these days, if something happens, your father will go crazy with worry."
Seeing Xue Nu nod almost imperceptibly, Su Yan knew she understood his hint. He hadn't expected Xue Nu to be so perceptive; it seemed the women around his father were indeed all extraordinary.
"I know, Auntie, I won't do it again next time."
"That's a good boy."
Su Yan turned around and introduced the Night Emperor's wife to Xue Nu: "By the way, Aunt, this is also one of my father's people, but I don't know her name yet."
Snow Maiden glanced at the Night Emperor's wife, and a sense of unease immediately rose in her heart—this woman was definitely not ordinary, otherwise Su Yan wouldn't have secretly warned her. Moreover, she couldn't even see through her cultivation level, which showed that her strength was unfathomable.
The Snow Maiden spoke in a cool, aloof tone: "I am Snow Maiden, the wife of Lord Wu Xiang, Su Qingfeng. May I ask how you are addressed, Madam?"
Lady Night Emperor looked at the group of beautiful women before her, feeling somewhat helpless. That Lord Wu Xiang was indeed a lecherous man; every woman around him was exceptionally beautiful, and all were at the Grandmaster level. But… these women didn't seem to have been seduced by him?
"Just call me Shui Rou."
When did Lady Shuirou meet my husband?
"Not long after."
"Not long?" The Snow Woman was slightly taken aback.
"What, are you going to interrogate me?" The Night Emperor's wife's tone turned indifferent.
Snow Maiden quickly explained, "Madam, you misunderstand. I just wanted to find out when my husband met such a beautiful woman as you. You know his temperament; if we don't find out when they met, the order of the sisters in the family might get mixed up."
The Night Emperor's wife gritted her teeth inwardly. Just how many women did that bastard have? And he even had some kind of ranking system at home... Did he really think he was the emperor?
Alas! He is now practically no different from an emperor, and even more powerful and influential than some emperors.
Lady Ye was also helpless. If she had known this would happen, she would have just said that she came to kill that bastard Wu Xiangjun. Now it seemed like Wu Xiangjun was secretly keeping a woman outside.
Shang Xiuxun and Shang Xiufang looked at Xue Nu with suspicion—Su Qingfeng had never set these rules, so why did Xue Nu seem to be trying to trick this woman into talking?
Shang Xiuke and Shang Xiufang gradually realized that this woman of unknown origin must be suspicious; otherwise, the usually taciturn Xue Nu wouldn't have said so much today. They also began to be wary of this strange woman.
Seeing that all the women were staring at her, Lady Yedi said, "I've only known Lord Wuxiang for a little over a month."
"Okay, I understand."
Xue Nu knew she was lying. Just over a month ago, Su Qingfeng was still in the Eastern Continent; there was no way he could have known this woman. At that time, Xue Nu had been by Su Qingfeng's side the whole time. If such a person truly existed, how could she not know her?
Shang Xiuke and Shang Xiufang also realized she was lying. A little over a month ago, they heard Su Yan mention that her father was in the Eastern Continent, and that Xue Nu had come from the Eastern Continent with Su Qingfeng. Someone who didn't even know Xue Nu was definitely suspicious.
While Xue Nu and the others were talking with the Night Emperor's wife, Song Yu Hua had already rescued Song Yu Zhi. Seeing her sister, Kou Zhong, and Xu Zi Ling all injured and lying on the ground, she felt helpless—these people were only at the Innate Realm, how could they possibly defeat a master at the late Grandmaster stage?
"Sister, you rest first, I'm going to kill that alien."
Song Yuzhi weakly pulled her back: "Sister, you are no match for him, don't go."
She knew that Song Yuhua was only at the Innate Realm, and going up there would be tantamount to suicide, so she didn't want her sister to take the risk.
Song Yuhua looked at the alien, her attitude resolute: "No, this man must die. With Bai Qing'er's help, we can definitely take his life."
