The Cub I Raised Turned Out to Be a Reborn Boss (GL) - Chapter 21

Jiang Yixue was a gentle and thoughtful person. She truly was different from the person in Song Xi’s previous life.

Perhaps this was fate compensating her in this life with warmth because she had been unfortunate in her previous life?

Song Xi was startled by her own thoughts. How could she think like that… Clearly, this life was for revenge. How could she have such messy thoughts?

The bedding around her still carried Jiang Yixue’s faint cold fragrance, wrapping around Song Xi and making her mind restless.

With a bang, the door opened. This was the only room left that had not been searched, and Yun Yi personally stood outside with his men.

Seeing the door open, Yun Yi lifted his foot to step inside, but his vision suddenly blurred.

In a daze, it seemed as if a dark shadow brushed past his temple.

Several strands of black hair drifted down, and sword energy cut a bloody mark across Yun Yi’s cheek.

Yun Yi reached up and wiped it. The blood on his fingertips instantly threw him into a rage. “Who are you? You must be hiding the fugitive. Hand her over quickly. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die miserably.”

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you first.”

The gloomy voice, filled with killing intent, made Yun Yi’s entire body stiffen. He could feel the cold blade pressed against his neck. As long as the person holding the sword applied even the slightest force, his head would be separated from his body in an instant.

When Jiang Yixue saw another large patch of dark red spreading across Song Xi’s dark purple sleeve, she frowned slightly. “Didn’t I say I would handle it…”

Song Xi did not answer Jiang Yixue. The strength in her wrist grew harsher, and blood trickled down the Ruofeng Sword.

“Yun Tongtian set up a great array here. Does he want everyone here to die?”

Her attack was ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

Yun Yi panicked. “Yes, yes, yes! Father said that aside from you, there’s also an important person from Yuqing Sect in this inn. Not a single one of you can leave…”

Qingyang City was adjacent to Yuqing Sect, and Qingyang Mountain was even a training ground of Yuqing Sect. Yun Tongtian should have had a very good relationship with Yuqing Sect.

Now, it seemed that was not the case.

Jiang Yixue suddenly saw a flash of bloody light bloom before her eyes. Yun Yi’s eyes widened, but there was no longer any life in them. The people he had brought also fell into pools of blood in an instant.

“Their target is you. Come with me.”

Song Xi turned and grabbed Jiang Yixue’s wrist.

Her palm was also stained with blood, giving it a sticky touch.

But the strength with which she held Jiang Yixue was very steady.

When she had smelled the cold fragrance lingering in the bedding earlier, Song Xi had suddenly sensed an almost imperceptible abnormality in the spiritual energy around them.

Yun Tongtian had not appeared all this time… There had to be a major conspiracy.

Jiang Yixue was Song Xi’s senior sister. She was not someone these people could casually scheme against and murder.

The killing intent in Song Xi’s eyes grew deeper and deeper. That old bastard Yun Tongtian must truly be tired of living. Once he fell into the Netherworld King’s hands, she would let him know what it meant to beg for death but be denied it.

Song Xi moved far too quickly. Every strike was exceptionally ruthless, and the strength she displayed was far beyond the Earth rank she appeared to possess.

Jiang Yixue looked at the graceful figure before her and momentarily fell into a daze. When this person had threatened her just now, even her dagger had still been sheathed. How had she suddenly become like a completely different person…

Yun Tongtian was not some brilliant array master. The great array he had set up was mainly to cut off spiritual communication.

Jiang Yixue had a protective jade pendant from Xue Qiancheng. As long as she crushed it, Xue Qiancheng would be able to sense it even from thousands of li away. But now, this great array had cut off long-distance spiritual communication, meaning Jiang Yixue had no way to send a message to Xue Qiancheng in time.

Jiang Yixue frowned and looked at the dark stains on Song Xi’s sleeve. “What do you plan to do?”

Song Xi glanced at the patrolling guards around them, slipped into the shadows of a small alley, and said calmly, “Kill Yun Tongtian. Otherwise, we’ll both die here.”

A patrol squad searching the area happened to run past the mouth of the alley. The noisy sound of footsteps rang right beside them.

The moonlight was dim, and half of the place where Song Xi stood happened to be under the moonlight. Jiang Yixue’s heart tightened. She reached out and wrapped an arm around Song Xi’s waist, pulling her entirely into her embrace. Her cheek brushed past Song Xi’s ear, and that rich, faint fragrance once again came with a soft warmth that fell into Jiang Yixue’s arms.

Song Xi stiffened. “You… what are you doing…”

“Shh. Even if you want to kill someone, you have to treat your injuries first. Yun Tongtian has been able to occupy Qingyang City for so long. He isn’t an ordinary person.”

Jiang Yixue looked outside through the gap. The patrol squad just now had not noticed the small alley and had run past the entrance.

Jiang Yixue let out a breath of relief and continued, “We need to plan this slowly. If Yun Tongtian wants to kill me, he must have made thorough preparations, because as long as I escape, it will be a disaster for him. I know a little about him. As far as I know, inside Qingyang City, he is the only Heaven-rank cultivator. The spiritual weapon he uses is a Silver Moon Long Saber, and its moves are strange and unpredictable. I’m currently at peak Spirit rank. If I face him, I may not necessarily lose…”

Jiang Yixue analyzed the situation seriously, completely forgetting that she was still holding Song Xi.

The people outside had already gone far away, but Jiang Yixue’s arm still had not loosened.

Her warm breath, together with her voice, brushed against Song Xi’s ear, making it faintly itch. Jiang Yixue’s body temperature was slightly cool, yet she was very soft. Through the fabric, Song Xi could feel that soft touch and curve.

Song Xi felt the temperature by her ear heat up.

The hand hanging at her side unconsciously clenched the corner of her skirt. Her mind went blank, and she did not know where to put her hands or feet.
