Chapter 140

Fu San's face was tense, his hand clenched into a fist, his heart filled with endless hatred.

Come on! Seize her!

With a wave of his hand, over a dozen Dark Guards rushed from all directions, each with a fierce aura.

Ye Qingran's face sank, she tapped her foot, spun and shot upward, the soft sword at her waist suddenly drawn, in the dim night it even flashed a chilling cold light.

Ye Qingran moved like a ghost; even amidst the equally agile Dark Guard encirclement, she handled herself with ease, her soft sword weaving dazzling flower-like blades, balancing offense and defense, sweeping wide, she steadily held the upper hand.

Seeing this, Fu San's face turned as black as iron. He never expected this female lecherous thief to have such formidable skill!

Without further thought, Fu San personally acted, thrusting his long sword forward with the force of splitting bamboo, unstoppable!

Ye Qingran looked back, kicked several Dark Guards away, lifted her sword and turned gracefully, then without hesitation charged at Fu San.

Fu Hanxiu's silhouette appeared outside the battlefield at some point.

He stood aloft in the void, his robes rustling in the night wind, his dark eyes scanning the figure wrapped in a night cloak, and for a moment he actually thought he saw Ye Qingran!

In his deep, abyss-like eyes, brilliant light burst forth.

If that woman in the bath last time was her…

Fu Hanxiu's firmly arched brows furrowed.

While fighting Fu San, Ye Qingran glanced at Fu Hanxiu in the void, her heart skipping a beat. Although she had come fully prepared, even having deliberately treated her eyes, Fu Hanxiu's gaze was too sharp, as if it could see through appearances to the essence!

This place is not suitable for lingering!

Ye Qingran thought to herself.

Moreover, Fu Hanxiu's strength is unfathomable; she cannot be sure whether she could retreat unscathed if she faced him.

She cannot take that risk!

The two fought together; after dozens of moves, the originally evenly matched pair gradually saw Fu San fall to the disadvantage.

Your Majesty!

Fu San shouted unwillingly.

Fu Hanxiu moved.

Around him, dense demonic breath surged, the source-less wind stirred, his aura icy as a killing god from Jiu You.

Sensing Fu Hanxiu's powerful aura, Ye Qingran's mind and spirit trembled, alarm bells ringing!

At the same time, her beautiful eyes blazed with fierce fire, Ling Tian's battle spirit ignited within her.

For many years she rarely met an opponent, especially after coming to Donglin Country, she had hardly lifted a hand; today let her see just how strong this monstrous National Master of Donglin Country really is!

Ye Qingran repelled Fu San with a single move, then unexpectedly charged toward Fu Hanxiu's attack!

Is this female lecherous thief crazy? She dares to provoke their Your Majesty!

Fu Hanxiu's hawk-like eyes locked onto Ye Qingran.

The eyes are not hers!

The scent on her body is not hers either!

……

The suspicion that had just risen in his heart was confirmed, and Fu Hanxiu's aura grew even colder.

Clad all in black, he resembled a demon god, demonic breath swirling around him like a sovereign over life and death!

Ye Qingran knew her preparations were complete, she wasn't afraid he'd recognize her; instead, she focused entirely on fighting him.

After being repelled by Ye Qingran, Fu San fell to the ground, clutching his chest, head raised, secretly shocked.

This female lecherous thief is so strong!

After fighting the National Master for a while, Ye Qingran's brows furrowed.

Just how much does this National Master hate her? His every move is a killing technique!

"National Master, is it just because you slept? Is that really necessary?" Ye Qingran tugged at her lips, speaking in a feigned light, coquettish tone.

Fu Hanxiu's face grew even colder.

If before, it would have been fine if this female lecherous thief didn't appear; but now he already has someone he likes, so this female lecherous thief must die!

Hum~

A burst of aura released, Ye Qingran's face suddenly changed.

He had actually already reached that realm?!

Ye Qingran's pupils contracted; at that moment she had no desire to continue entangling with him.

She took out a treasure, held it in her hand, and shot backward.

"National Master truly knows no pity for fragrance and jade; I'm done, goodbye!"

Having said that, she crushed the treasure in her hand, and the surrounding space began to warp.

In an alley a few streets from the National Master's residence, Ye Qingran's figure suddenly appeared.

At that moment, the night wind blew away the clouds, revealing the new moon.

The moonlight was bright, making her complexion especially pale.

"National Master, you truly hide your depths; just how many secrets do you still have that I don't know?"

Leaning her head against the wall, Ye Qingran's chest rose and fall, her heart still pounding.

Sneaking into the National Master's residence like this is truly too dangerous; not only did she waste one of her treasures, she almost couldn't return!

"Looks like I absolutely must not let him know I'm that flying thief, or I'll die a miserable death!"

She muttered a low curse, then Ye Qingran walked toward the Ye Residence.

Inside the National Master's residence, seeing Ye Qingran suddenly vanish, Fu San's face changed and he hurriedly ordered someone to pursue.

No need.

Fu Hanxiu shouted to stop.

Fu San and the Dark Guard, though harboring lingering resentment, still obeyed orders without question.

Fu Hanxiu stared in the direction where Ye Qingran vanished, his expression darkening to the extreme.

Ting Yu Xuan

After Ye Qingran returned, Han Xing Leng Yue came to greet her, seeing that Ye Qingran's complexion was a bit pale.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, just a bit over‑exerted."

Thinking the two children were already asleep, Ye Qingran made a motion to hush.

"Miss, how is it? Is it the National Master?" While ushering Ye Qingran into the room, Han Xing Leng Yue asked impatiently.

"No! The Imperial Flower is still here; I've confirmed it, it's the same one as before."

Ye Qingran shook her head lightly as she spoke, thinking of something, she squinted, "The National Master is truly unfathomable, having already entered that realm!"

"That realm?"

The two, upon hearing, both showed shock, but said nothing more about it.

After washing up and lying on the bed, Ye Qingran kept her eyes open, with no sleepiness.

Tonight's events made her reconfirm the murderous intent of everyone in Guoshi Fu toward her, the female sky‑thief, and strengthened her resolve to keep her vest tightly buttoned.

"Once the Bloodline Detection results for me and Xiao Hu are out, we should leave as early as possible!"
