Bat Prince, roaming the heavens

Chapter 85 The Ye Sisters (New Volume, Please Subscribe)

The fog in the mountains seemed to never dissipate.

When people walk in the fog, they become more like ghosts.

Fortunately, there were no "ghosts" on the mountain path today, and Ye Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Bringing outsiders back to the heart of the resort without permission is a major taboo.

She led Yuan Suiyun through a damp, cold rocky path, finally settling him in an abandoned stone house on the edge of the mountain villa.

This place is the furthest from the core area, and even ghosts wouldn't give it a second glance on a normal day.

"You'll have to stay here for the night, but don't go out." Ye Xue's back was to him, her voice as cold as ice. "The people here aren't as good-tempered as I am. If they find out, I can't save you."

Yuan Suiyun didn't mind the simplicity of the place and sat down on the damp straw mat: "Thank you for taking me in, Miss Ye. I am a law-abiding person and will definitely not cause you any trouble."

He was indeed too lazy to provoke the group of "ghosts" from Ghost Manor, and only hoped that Ye Xue could send him out of the mountain tomorrow so that he could go south to Jiangnan to find Hua Manlou.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Just as Ye Xue was about to push the door open and go out, she heard a clear female voice from outside: "Ye Xue, how dare you!"

Hiding a man in secret!

Ye Xue's face instantly tightened like a frozen spring.

Before her stood her younger sister, Ye Ling, dressed in a red dress.

Ye Ling was looking into the room with a half-smile, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

"Ye Ling, what are you doing causing trouble!" Ye Xue scolded coldly.

"You brought a strange man back, and you still dare to say I'm causing trouble?" Ye Ling pointed at Ye Xue in disbelief.

"What wild man? He's just a lost blind man. We'll send him away tomorrow," Ye Xue explained.

"Blind?!" Ye Ling shrieked, looked Yuan Suiyun up and down, and shook her head regretfully, "He's quite handsome, but it's a pity he's blind."

"That can't be right!" Ye Ling suddenly clapped her hands. "How could a blind man be here? You're lying to me!"

"I didn't." Ye Xue was speechless.

"I don't believe it, unless—" Ye Ling's watery eyes darted around.

"Unless what?" Ye Xue asked.

"Unless you hand this blind man over to me," Ye Ling said, pointing at Yuan Suiyun.

"No way," Ye Xue refused decisively.

"Why not? You don't even know him." Ye Ling tilted her head. "Are you saying you're lying to me, and this person is your lover?"

Seeing Ye Ling's persistent pestering, Ye Xue sighed helplessly.

Yuan Suiyun, on the other hand, took a spectator's attitude. He knew that Ye Ling was not a bad person by nature, but she was used to arguing with Ye Xue in everything.

In the original story, both sisters had feelings for Lu Xiaofeng. After Mu Daoren betrothed Ye Xue to Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Ling beat him to it.

"Ye Ling, stop messing around. I'm not handing him over to you," Ye Xue said seriously.

"I'm asking you this one last time, are you going to hand him over or not?" Ye Ling clenched her small fist, issuing a fierce ultimatum.

"I won't hand it over," Ye Xue said coldly.

"You won't hand it over, huh? Fine." Ye Ling cupped her hands into a megaphone shape and shouted, "Come and see! Ye Xue has brought her wild man back!"

"Ye Ling!"

Seeing this, Ye Xue became anxious and stepped forward to try to subdue Ye Ling, but she nimbly dodged her.

Moreover, Ye Ling's sudden scream had already shattered the silence of the valley like a sharp blade, so even if they caught her now, it would be of no use.

The fastest to arrive wasn't a person, but a big black dog, or rather, a person disguised as a dog—Dog Boy!

However, he did nothing, but simply hid in the darkness and silently watched everything.

The second person to arrive was an old man whose name here was "Hook," because instead of a hand, his right wrist had a gleaming iron hook.

His true identity is Hai Qikuo, the "One-Armed Dragon" who once dominated the seven seas.

Although this man was old, he was extremely lecherous and had long coveted the Ye sisters. Now that he heard that Ye Xue had a lover, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Then two more people arrived together: one was fair-skinned and beardless, dressed in gorgeous clothes; the other was tall and thin, with an aquiline nose and a hunchback.

The former always has a smile on his face and even admires himself; the latter always looks gloomy and doesn't even admire himself.

The smiling man is "Cousin," whose true identity is Gu Feiyun of the Bashan Sword Sect.

The one with a worried expression is "Housekeeper," Gao Tao, the head of the inner three halls of the Phoenix Tail Gang.

The three of them had a good relationship because they shared a common enemy, Ximen Chuixue.

They were all being hunted down by Ximen Chuixue and had no choice but to hide in this remote, secluded mountain forest.

Yuan Suiyun also found it quite a coincidence that all three of them could be more or less connected to him, or rather, to the Bat Prince.

Hai Qikuo made his living at sea, which goes without saying.

Wu Weiyang, one of the leaders of the Phoenix Tail Gang, was killed by Ding Feng.

As for Gu Feiyun, the original Suiyun's 49-hand Returning Wind and Willow Sword Technique was personally passed down by the Bashan Taoist!

However, the three of them remained unmoved upon seeing Yuan Suiyun, seemingly unconcerned.

"Hey, you all be the judge! Ye Xue secretly brought a strange man back, what should her punishment be?" Seeing that someone had arrived, Ye Ling straightened her back again.

Haiqi Kuodao exclaimed, "He deserves to die!"

Gao Tao glared at Hai Qikuo: "What nonsense are you spouting? Ye Xue is also a member of our Elders' Council. You think you can just kill her like that?"

A fierce glint flashed in Haiqikuo's eyes: "I'm talking about that man."

"That makes sense," Gu Feiyun said with a smile.

Originally, Suiyun's face was exposed.

His strike was incredibly powerful; the air was torn apart by the iron hook, producing a sharp, explosive sound.

"You!" Ye Xue wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

"Ah!" Ye Ling, the instigator, was also surprised that Hai Qikuo would suddenly attack, and cried out in fright.

Gao Tao and Gu Feiyun watched this scene with a hint of mockery. In their view, Yuan Suiyun had no chance of dodging Hai Qikuo's fatal blow.

However, the expected dull thud of a blade piercing flesh did not occur.

Yuan Suiyun raised the branch that Ye Xue had shaved for him and lightly touched it forward.

"clang!"

A crisp sound rang out, like metal clashing against stone.

That seemingly fragile branch actually pressed precisely against the sharpest point of the iron hook.

"You—" Hai Qikuo's pupils shrank sharply, and the sinister smile on his face froze instantly.

Before Hai Qikuo could react, Yuan Suiyun gently pushed the branch in his hand, and it pierced his throat without any obstruction.

Upon seeing this, Gao Tao and Gu Feiyun's pupils shrank, and they hurriedly reached for their weapons.

Ye Xue opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She really didn't expect that the blind man she had brought back out of kindness would have such high martial arts skills.

Ye Ling cursed inwardly, wondering if her silly older sister had brought back someone who was here to cause trouble.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't want to cause trouble, but now I have no choice but to break my promise." Yuan Suiyun said calmly, facing the outside of the house.
