Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1920: Different Breeds

"Ah!"

The leading man in black, his shoulder was pierced by a sword. He quickly turned around, but behind him, apart from his own subordinates, there was no one else. He was extremely annoyed, what kind of martial arts did that damn woman have? How could she be so fast?

Unable to vent his full-blown anger, he had to grab his weapon. Gong Sui endured the pain, focused intently, just in case that damn woman suddenly appeared from somewhere to stab him.

While concentrating intensely, the leading man in black didn’t forget to loudly remind his subordinates beside him, "Everyone, stay extremely alert, that damn woman is very cunning!"

When they came, there were more than a hundred people, but now there were only twenty or thirty left; the rest were either dead or wounded, lying all over the ground. The leading man in black felt somewhat troubled and irritable.

Who would have known that just as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw the sharp tip of a sword sticking out of his chest. Clearly, someone had pierced through him from behind.

His eyes showed disbelief and panic. A trickle of blood slowly crept from the corner of his mouth as he slowly turned around...

Seeing Xuexue holding the sword hilt, looking at him expressionlessly...

The leading man in black stared intently at Xuexue with wide eyes: "You...you...you..."

Xuexue showed no expression, ignoring him completely. With a forceful pull of her arm, the sword was withdrawn from his body...

"Puh...!"

Blood gushed out like a tide. Even if he was unwilling, there was no saving him. The leading man in black thudded to the ground, dead, his eyes still wide open as if unable to accept his fate.

The other men in black, upon seeing their leader dead, immediately had thoughts of fleeing. Moreover, Xuexue’s movements were so strange, they hadn’t even touched her clothes yet so many of their brothers had died. The longer they stayed, the more afraid they were of this woman who seemed to be cursed.

So, after making up their minds, the remaining men in black brandished their weapons, feigned a few moves, and then tried to escape over the wall.

But who knew the guards of the War Prince’s Mansion were waiting for them on the wall? As soon as they climbed up, they were knocked down. Before they could get up, they were captured alive.

The War Prince’s Mansion was brightly lit. Some guards were cleaning the courtyard. The corpses of the men in black were placed to one side of the courtyard, piled into a small hill.

Long Yi was in the hall interrogating some of the surviving men in black; these were assassins that had undergone rigorous training. No matter how much Long Yi interrogated and tortured them, they refused to reveal who their master was or why they came to assassinate Madam Situ.

Covered in blood, Xuexue returned to the Rain Listening Courtyard to change clothes, preparing to check on how Long Rui was handling things later. After all, with Long Rui not in the mansion, as the legitimate madam, she had the duty to oversee the War Prince’s Mansion to ensure nothing went wrong. Moreover, these men in black came for her, so she wanted to know who wanted her dead so badly.

Just as Xuexue had changed her clothes, Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong ran in.

Little Tiger shouted anxiously, "Master, Master."

"What’s the matter?"

"Those assassins have a scent on them. I smelled it before."

"What scent?"

"A very unpleasant fox odor."

"Is that so? How come I didn’t smell it?"

Xuexue had fought with the men in black all night and hadn’t smelled any peculiar odor on them, though there was a blood smell.

"What’s your nose? What’s my nose? Of course, you didn’t smell it." Little Tiger said arrogantly.

"Indeed, we are different breeds; I’m human, you’re an animal."

"You...you...!" Little Tiger was nearly infuriated to death by Xuexue. In the end, sulking, he turned his face away and sulkily said, "Master, you’re a jerk. Little master won’t tell you anymore!"
