Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard-Chapter 097.2: Those Who Hurt Silver Will Not Be Pardoned From Death!

“Silver!” Du Xiaoli watched Silver get hit and sent flying, and a rage instantly consumed her. Suddenly, her whole body emitted horrifying killing intent.

Gold also saw what happened to Silver and hurriedly ran to its side. While standing in front of Silver, Gold let out a low howl toward Du Xiaoli, “Awoo——”

“Gold, protect Silver well.” Du Xiaoli glanced at Gold, and her unquestionable gaze made the latter stay put where it was.

Everyone was startled by Du Xiaoli’s imposing aura.

The half-masked man, however, was filled with interest when he looked at her. ‘A kindred spirit?’

“Since you dared to harm my family’s Silver, I’ll let you meet the King of the Underworld earlier!” Du Xiaoli said. She raised her arms, and the surrounding air circulated rapidly. It went swirling into her hair and made her skirt flutter in the wind. The aura of Asura she emitted made the other people feel a fear that rose from the depths of their hearts.

“What a powerful aura!” The half-masked man went from being flabbergasted to being amazed. He had never imagined that her inner strength would be this dense and powerful.

“Drop dead!” Du Xiaoli ordered when she looked at the man who sent Silver flying. Then she leaped and quickly arrived in front of the man, slamming her palm into his chest. The man was jolted into midair, and when he landed on the ground, he was no longer breathing.

If her previous move was just a cheap trick, the current one was an absolute kill!

"Awesome!" the half-masked man exclaimed.

Even while dealing with the ten or so enemies before him, the half-masked man still had the mental capacity to observe Du Xiaoli's actions. His skills were indeed somewhat frightening. It was no wonder that he managed to persist for so long and kill off so many of his enemies despite having been poisoned.

However, he almost reached his limit earlier. If he hadn't encountered Du Xiaoli, he would have died today.

"Pu——"

His sword pierced through the heart of the person before him, and the sound of the sword being pulled out made him flare up even more.

“Peng——Peng——”

With every move of her palm, Du Xiaoli hit one person. She was like a messenger from hell as all of the people she struck died from that one blow. Very soon, she had killed all of the people surrounding her. She stood in the middle of a pile of corpses without a single drop of blood on her body. An aura of death lingered around her nevertheless.

When the half-masked man saw that Du Xiaoli had already killed off those around her, the movements of his hands accelerated. However, he was quite badly poisoned after all, so he unable to be as fast as usual. Moreover, in comparison to Du Xiaoli, more men had surrounded him. So, he had used up quite a lot of energy already.

“Pu——” The half-masked man heard a sound from behind him right when he finished off the last person before him. He turned around and saw the sword of a black-clothed man merely 10 or so centimeters away from him. Right after that, the black-clothed man fell over. There was a dagger sticking out of his back where his heart was located.

Upon glancing at the fallen enemy, the half-masked man knew what had happened. He said nonchalantly, “I owe you a life,”

Du Xiaoli paid no attention to him and turned around, heading to Silver’s side. Like magic, the demonic aura around Du Xiaoli vanished in a flash.

“Awoo——” Gold howled at Du Xiaoli. Its howl was only filled with concern.

Du Xiaoli patted Gold’s head and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll examine Silver first.”

Silver’s eyes were closed, but its eyelids moved unceasingly. Du Xiaoli reached out and gently stroked Silver’s head and back. With great difficulty, Silver opened its eyes and let out a whimper.

Du Xiaoli examined Silver once over and found that it was not in a critical condition. It was just that the blow Silver received had been too heavy, causing it to lose consciousness. Silver would be fine after resting for a few days.

At this moment, Du Xiaoli heard the galloping horse hooves. She looked toward the sound and saw Xia Yuan rushing over on a horse.

“Mistress,” Xia Yuan called out. When she saw the ground littered with corpses, she did not wait for the horse to stop before jumping down and asking, “Mistress, are you all right?”

“I’m fine. But Silver is injured, Du Xiaoli answered. “Why have you come here?”

“I heard some noise from over here and was afraid that something had happened to you, so I came over to check. Who injured Silver?” Xia Yuan had known Silver for many years, so when she saw its current appearance, a wave of anger came over her.

“I’ve already killed them,” Du Xiaoli said. “How could I let them go after they hurt Silver?”

Xia Yuan then looked at the half-masked man with vigilance and asked, “Mistress, who is that?”

“I don’t know either.” Du Xiaoli shook her head. The good mood she had during the day was now gone after being forced to be involved in today’s fight and letting Silver get injured.

When the half-masked saw Xia Yuan, he guessed her name accurately, “You’re Xia Yuan?”

Du Xiaoli’s and Xia Yuan’s expressions grew heavy. It seemed that this man did not just know Du Xiaoli; he also knew Xia Yuan!

“Who are you?”

“Peng——”

Before the half-masked man finished talking, he suddenly fell over.

Du Xiaoli got up and walked over to him. Xia Yuan stopped her hurriedly and said, “Mistress, be careful. It might be a trap.”

“It’s fine. He probably fainted because the poison has reached his heart,” Du Xiaoli said with certainty. She had noticed that the man’s expression just before fainting was even more dazed than during the fight.

Xia Yuan walked over with Du Xiaoli and watched the latter remove the man’s mask, revealing a devastatingly beautiful face. As handsome as he might be, it was still a face they did not recognize.

“Mistress, who is this person? How does he know my name?” Xia Yuan asked puzzledly.

Du Xiaoli thought, ‘It’s another handsome man. Could it be that this era is a place that’s filled with handsome men?’

“I don’t know who he is either, but he seems like someone who knows us,” Du Xiaoli replied. She placed the mask back on the man’s face before standing up and looking at the corpse-covered ground. “Search around and see if you can find anything that can identify them.”

“Okay.” Xia Yuan searched the bodies and found a plate of authority

on one of them. Additionally, there was a strange tattoo on one arm of each corpse.

When Du Xiaoli saw the tattoo, she inspected it closely and managed to figure out that it was of a coiled python with its head raised high and its long tongue stuck out.
