Chapter 5: Volume 1, Chapter 5: The Woman Who 'Bullied' the Master Is Indeed Different

Following Xu Shi's order, four burly guards rushed out from inside the General's Mansion and quickly surrounded Yun Qiyue.

Her keen agent intuition told her that these people were different from the previous servants who only knew a few moves; they were trained martial artists and very difficult to deal with.

And if she were to be caught by these people, she would likely only be able to become a fake Yun Qiyue from then on, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to clear her name.

Realizing this, Yun Qiyue made a prompt decision. Taking advantage of the guards underestimating her and not yet attacking, she held a silver needle, leaped forward, and aimed directly at the fatal point of one of the guards. Her movements were fast, precise, and ruthless, very decisive.

The guard was completely unprepared and never expected Yun Qiyue to attack suddenly, so he fell to the ground before he could even react.

The other three guards saw this, and killing intent immediately overflowed from their bodies. They used fierce moves to attack Yun Qiyue.

Just now, Yun Qiyue had used almost the limit of her current body's strength. Now that three guards were attacking her at the same time, she only felt an unprecedented pressure.

However, pressure or whatever, in her eyes, it was motivation.

Yun Qiyue knew she couldn't beat the three of them combined, but a flash of tenacity and unwillingness to admit defeat still crossed her eyes. Her fingertips didn't know when another silver needle had appeared. She chose one of the guards and struck at his face with her fastest speed.

It was just that this guard was even stronger than Yun Qiyue had imagined. Plus, her body's quality was poor, and her previous consumption was too great, so even though Yun Qiyue's move was fast, she still didn't succeed. The silver needle only managed to scratch the guard's cheek, but her foot was grabbed by another guard.

The next moment, she felt her body being lifted, and then she was thrown out in a parabolic arc.

Fortunately, in the face of crisis, she rolled in the air, which allowed her to land steadily.

Watching the few guards approaching her again, Yun Qiyue had no way out for a moment.

If she were in her previous body, knocking down these four people would naturally be a piece of cake, but now her strength was truly restricted by this body.

"Host, this system can provide you with a Body Tempering Pill."

Just when Yun Qiyue didn't know how to survive this disaster, the system's voice sounded in her mind.

With the example of the silver needles, Yun Qiyue was instinctively wary of the system. "What are the conditions?"

System: "The conditions are not high, fifty points will do!"

Yun Qiyue: "?"

Points? What kind of ghost was this?

"Host, this system will issue tasks to you in the future. If the Host completes the task, the system will reward the Host with points. If the task fails, points will be deducted."

"If points reach negative one hundred, ten percent of the Host's Life Value will be deducted."

Damn it!

Points were also linked to life?

Also, fifty points was called not high?

Damn the "not high"—this minus one hundred means deducting Life Value. Is she tired of living, so she's trying to torture herself to death?

"You are robbing me while I'm in trouble!" Yun Qiyue's tone was extremely certain.

System: "Host, if you think so, this system has no way. But the Body Tempering Pill can make the Host's body quality reach the limit, and can make a piece of trash become a martial arts genius. There is only one chance. Does the Host want to consider it? It's very cost-effective!"

Yun Qiyue watched the few guards approaching her and gritted her teeth. "Fine, deal!"

So what if the system was black-hearted? So what if the points were negative?

If she couldn't get past the immediate difficulty, everything would be for nothing.

And at this time, beside a carriage not far away, a guard in black was watching this scene in front of the General's Mansion nervously.

"Master, should we go over and help?"

Chen Feng didn't get a response for a long time, so he couldn't help but look back, only to see his master's cold-to-the-extreme eyes. His body couldn't help but shiver, and he stiffly moved his gaze away, pretending he hadn't said anything just now.

The man sitting in the carriage wore a purple dragon-patterned brocade robe and a golden mask. On the side of his left eye on the mask, there was a purple mandala flower pattern, mysterious and noble, and his whole body exuded an aura of "no strangers allowed."

The man's cold eyes swept over the back of Chen Feng's head and landed on the woman at the gate of the General's Mansion. His expression was inexplicable, but he didn't mean to intervene in that farce.

And Yun Qiyue, after reaching a deal with the system, had an extra pill in her hand.

Not daring to hesitate, Yun Qiyue stuffed the Body Tempering Pill directly into her mouth.

It was just that Yun Qiyue never expected that the taste of the Body Tempering Pill would be comparable to Coptis, so bitter that her facial expression was distorted. Just as she was about to suspect whether the system was selling fake goods, she felt a tearing pain coming from her body.

In the eyes of everyone, Yun Qiyue was unable to beat the others and was afraid that things would be exposed, so she suddenly took poison, wanting to commit suicide on the spot.

Although they didn't understand, there were thousands of ways to commit suicide, and there was more than one type of poison, so why did this woman choose such a painful one?

Look at that painful and distorted expression; it made those of them who were watching unable to bear to look.

Even the three guards who were gradually approaching Yun Qiyue thought so, so they stopped when they were three steps away from Yun Qiyue and watched Yun Qiyue coldly.

And Chen Feng in the distance suddenly felt that the air pressure around him had become low and heavy.

Thinking of his master's behavior of immediately calling people to check on Yun Qiyue after being "bullied," Chen Feng's heart was a wail: It's over, the master's first woman is about to kick the bucket. Should he, the witness, be buried with her?

"Bang—"

Just then, a loud noise came from the front, interrupting Chen Feng's thoughts.

Chen Feng looked, and was stunned with his mouth wide open.

This... the woman who "bullied" the master is indeed different.

Tough enough!

At this time, not only was Chen Feng stunned, but so were the crowd of onlookers.

When everyone thought Yun Qiyue was about to fail, Yun Qiyue suddenly flew up and kicked one of the guards who hadn't reacted with lightning speed.

Because Yun Qiyue didn't know the power of the Body Tempering Pill for a while, she couldn't control the strength, and this kick actually kicked the guard directly out of the crowd.

By the time the guard fell to the ground, he was already dead.

The remaining two guards were completely stunned by this sudden scene. They didn't come back to their senses for a while, and Yun Qiyue had already attacked them.

A silver needle was inserted directly into the fatal point of the third guard. The last guard finally came back to his senses in time and grabbed Yun Qiyue's hand that was attacking him.

But in the blink of an eye, Yun Qiyue's hand had broken free, and then with a strange speed, she used force to break the guard's hand.

"Ah—"

The guard let out a wail, pulling everyone who was still stunned back to reality.

Xu Shi saw that Yun Qiyue was about to kill the guard, so she shouted anxiously, "Stop!"

The silver needle that Yun Qiyue was about to pierce into the guard's fatal point stopped at a distance of 0.01 centimeters from the guard's fatal point, and she looked at Xu Shi with a smile:

"Is the eldest aunt preparing to communicate properly?"

Xu Shi didn't answer Yun Qiyue's question directly, but looked at the guard in Yun Qiyue's hand nervously and said, "You let him go first."

Yun Qiyue looked at the anxiety on Xu Shi's face and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Would this Xu Shi care so much about a guard? There's something fishy here! ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
