Chapter 025: The Assassin Arrives

  "Whoosh!" Another arrow came flying over.

  In an instant, Yu Ran's body turned over, changing positions with him on top and her below.

  Su Mo could almost feel his firm chest pressed against her soft bosom.

  "Heh." He let out a soft chuckle and gently rubbed his nose against hers.

  At this moment, two young hearts collided, he slowly kissed her tender lips. Gently rubbing, gently rolling, with some teasing, and with some ease, the breath between their noses was each other's.

  When she came to her senses, she slowly opened her eyes wide and immediately understood what had happened.

  She was in a flurry, and surprisingly, she was somewhat flustered. With a flick of her sleeve, a sharp needle darted out.

  Yu Ran suddenly felt a pain in her arm, sucked in a breath of cold air, and realized that she had been stabbed with a needle.

  Su Mo immediately pushed him away, forcing himself to calm down. A pair of beautiful eyes stared coldly at him, "Young master, please restrain yourself."

  He chuckled and didn't care about the place where he was stung, but slowly stretched out his hand to touch the lips that had become beautiful because of the kiss. His face showed a different kind of charm, and his smiling mouth said: "The bee's tail is sharp, but a woman's heart is even more poisonous. The young lady is indeed a rose with thorns!"

  Su Mo looked at his lip-touching action and her face turned red again, but she was expressionless and coldly said: "Do you want to take me as your concubine?"

  He let out a soft, gentle laugh and said with deep feeling, "Miss Su misunderstood me. You leaned in too close, and I just couldn't help myself for a moment. Men are all like this, easily impulsive, don't mind it."

  Su Mo almost didn't catch his breath back.

  Irresistible feelings, also known as temporary impulse, unrelated to love.

  "So why did you say I'm yours?" Su Mo asked with pursed lips.

  "Men always have a tendency to say sweet nothings in situations like that." Yu Ran raised a naturally warm and gentle smile, saying slowly, "At times like those, men's words are always true yet false, false yet true. Just like how Miss Su isn't bringing it up now, I'll also forget about it very quickly."

  Su Mo's eyes were complex and unpredictable, with a hint of turmoil rising in his pupils before quickly disappearing.

  The man in front of him was elegant and noble, with a calm and composed demeanor, his movements as smooth as water, and his eyes were deep and mysterious. Yet, he had just made that reckless and arrogant move, which didn't match the him from his past life at all.

  She immediately retorted coldly: "Please, Master Ran, don't be impulsive with me, you can go find another woman."

  Suddenly, the shocking cries and shouts from afar gradually spread to this narrow deck space.

  Unexpectedly, someone would assassinate him. The black onyx-like eyes of the Crown Prince flashed with a hint of murderous intent, quickly extinguished in the endless darkness.

  He slowly stretched out his palm, just about to make a move, when suddenly a black figure beside him moved, it was Su Mo who jumped up and leaped out of the boat, instantly charging into the depths of the enemy's position. He immediately slowed down his movements and sat up straight.

  She curved her lips, this woman was doing this... was she avoiding the awkwardness between them?! It seemed like she had been a bit too forward earlier!

  "Master, it was a master who attacked you!" Mr. Zhou got up from the ground, pretending that he had seen nothing, and said with a grin.

  "Uh-huh, I know." Yu Ran patted her sleeve and smiled faintly.

  "Master, aren't you worried about her?" Mr. Zhou couldn't help but glance sideways.

  "Why worry?" Yu Ran's gaze slanted sideways at him.

  "You are truly heartless, young master." Mr. Zhou felt that this move by the young master was just normal.

  "It's not that I'm heartless, but I believe she can handle it. A woman without real power isn't worth noticing, nor is she worthy of collaborating with me, Jin Yu Tang. But at this moment, I'd rather see what kind of power she possesses." Just then, Yu Ran's blue shirt shone under the dazzling sunlight, radiating a color like that of the ocean, making her figure appear even more slender and elegant, adding a hint of charm to her demeanor.

  Mr. Zhou couldn't help but say: "Dye young master, you really don't treat her like anyone else, you can't have actually fallen for her?"

  Yu Ran leaned against the side of the boat, silent for a moment, as if in thought, and also as if gazing into the distance.

  All that can be seen is the "young man" with slightly curled hair fluttering between his enchanting eyebrows and eyes, dressed in men's clothing, clean and elegant, without makeup, yet naturally charming.

  Her slender hand unfolded like a knife, and a cold aura flowed out of her body. She naturally jumped high into the air, her long legs slanting backward, landing on the ship's side. Her body leaned forward slightly, her feet sliding onto the rope as she glided smoothly, like a bird in flight. Her movements were swift as a shooting star, rapid as lightning, and exceptionally beautiful. In an instant, she arrived before the person who had just attacked them.

  Several assassins shouted loudly, raised their guns and chopped down. Su Mo slightly turned her face to the side, the gun grazed past her cheek, but saw the "young man" with flying green silk, his posture was enchanting.

  With a swift flip, a loud "clang" rang out. The youth took advantage of the opponent's momentum and swung his sword in a slashing motion, cutting off one person's arm.

  She swung her sleeves again, exuding an overwhelming aura, and two butterfly short knives appeared in her hands.

  Under the sunlight filtering through the clouds, two knives appeared with a chilly gloom.

  She saw that one knife was faster than the other, one knife was more accurate than the other, and one knife was more ruthless than the other. Truly unmatched in speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

  In the crowd, she dances with a fluttering figure, her lotus steps flying, like a butterfly flitting about, beautiful as a dream.

  A mighty aura burst forth from her body, as if all the resentment Yu Ran had towards her was vented out in that instant.

  Several assassins stumbled, their faces pale, their spear techniques in disarray, and finally even their footsteps became unsteady, their bodies floating, unable to stand firm.

  In a state of successive defeats, the assassins were on high alert. Unexpectedly, a "youngster" was invincible, and suddenly one person's face sank, remembering something.

  "Everyone be careful... he's not a postnatal third-grade cultivator, he's a congenital grandmaster." Someone shouted in terror.

  "What? This kid is actually a natural-born genius." Some people's expressions felt unbelievable.

  Everyone was shocked, this person unexpectedly had extraordinary strength, and actually disguised himself as a postnatal third-order cultivator. What's going on?

  Su Mo's body sprang forward, taking several steps in a strange gait, and then he leapt up, like a dark cloud shrouding the line of sight.

  Her glacial eyes gleamed with disdain as she forcibly inserted herself between the black-clad assassins charging forward.

  Everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, as if the other person had a tearing feeling towards them. She saw her wrist turn, and the butterfly short knife appeared again.

  Her hair flew forward, her clothes fluttering with a whooshing sound, the short knife slanting upward along the opponent's sword. At this moment, Su Mo didn't give his opponent any chance to parry, and finally the short knife slanted down, just one inch short, one inch of danger, and with a "chi" sound it stabbed into the assassin's ribcage!

  The fierce attack of two congenital pinnacle assassins was instantly crushed by her.

  "Good skills, extremely impressive." Mr. Zhou couldn't help but applaud loudly in praise.

  "This woman's moves are swift and deadly, without any unnecessary techniques or dragging on. On the surface, it seems like she has acquired skills of three to four levels, but in reality, she possesses innate abilities. She must be well-versed in the art of concealment." Yu Ran said with a gentle gaze as she watched Su Mo's back.

  Mr. Zhou couldn't help but say: "I'm very curious about her skills, how did she cultivate them?"

  Yu Ran hesitated for a moment before answering seriously, "It can only be obtained by constantly encountering enemies in the Cultivation Realm, constantly fighting against them, and accumulating strength through battles and killings."

  "I'll try and see if I can figure out something." However, Mr. Zhou's divination skills were also limited, and he couldn't make out too much after all.

  He took a cold breath and felt that the person in front of him was clearly a beautiful "young man", mysterious, and unfathomable...

  "It's just a simple woman, really makes one wonder." At this time, Ran Gongzi murmured.

  "Come to think of it, does the young master really have some feelings for her?" Mr. Zhou asked again.

  Yu's face floated with an unpredictable smile, and he smiled faintly: "I checked ahead, this woman is seductive and charming, but she has always been clean and honest, but a month ago, her personality suddenly changed greatly, and she dared to become the witch of Qi State. Mr. Zhou thinks that an ordinary lady would not do such things? Is she very interesting? However, when a man is interested in a woman, it always starts with curiosity. Although I don't like her yet, maybe one day I will really like her."

  Mr. Zhou looked at him deeply and slowly shook his head, this was not a good omen.

  "He suddenly said: 'Young master, another group of people is coming from ahead.'"

  The words fell, "Hiss——" A dense array of arrows flew in.

  All the arrows shot towards him, Yu Ran remained calm and composed, not too fast or slow. Mr. Zhou came to his back and stood still. Dye Gongzi took out a pen with his right hand, put one hand behind his back, and wrote strange symbols in the air with the other hand. The strokes overlapped, and an invisible force of thunder filled his surroundings. Suddenly, bright lightning flew out from the symbols drawn by his pen tip.

  A violent and fierce aura rises from the surface of the sea, with clear skies all around, yet surrounded by lightning, and thunder falling everywhere.

  In an instant, all the arrows around were shot down, a piece of darkness, a piece of desolation.

  He twirled his fingers, and the pen tip rotated smoothly in his hand for a few circles before disappearing into his sleeve again.

  Su Mo gazed deeply at him, she knew that creating Fu Zhu was extremely difficult, yet this person had casually drawn it out in mid-air.

  His pen must be an extraordinary magical instrument.

  Of course, Ranpo's character is also unfathomable.
