Ye Ningyuan, observing the fight from afar, saw her pale blue figure move as quickly as lightning. He secretly wondered to himself how Xunuo was still the most beautiful in red as that cold and passionate color perfectly complemented her temperament in the most beautiful manner possible.
A man who was punched afar by Xunuo knocked into a pillar aside, and some small stones from the already precarious building fell onto the ground in a clatter. Ye Ningyuan whistled and said, “Dude, don’t level that building or we’ll have to save on our graves.”
The man, who was flung out by Xunuo’s punch, was already feeling extremely embarrassed, yet Ye Ningyuan goaded at his misfortune. He pointed at Ye Ningyuan angrily and said, “What f***ing man are you to allow a woman to fend off your enemies? Are you such a freeloader?”
Ye Ningyuan tucked his lips in a loss. “Shouldn’t one freeload whenever it makes sense?”
The man was lost for words, and Ye Ningyuan stroked his chin and murmured to himself. “What should I do?” He thought and suddenly clapped. “Go, darling Xunuo! Go, darling Xunuo!”
“Bastard!” Xunuo’s gaze turned cold. A punch happened to land at her chest, and she grabbed the person’s arm and turned it viciously. The sudden cracking of bone could be heard, and the sixty-kilogram man was flung out like trash in the next moment, gliding on the ground for a long distance.
“Hey, did you see that? I cheer her on, and she becomes even more badass.” Ye Ningyuan leaned against the pillar and coolly smiled at the injured man. The man, thanks to Ye Ningyuan’s provocations, almost vomited blood in anger. The moonlight pouring on Ye Ningyuan and his off-white clothing made him look like a calm Prince Charming that seemed unfazed amidst the chaos.
Damn it!
An Xunuo, in the flash of a moment, had already taken down everybody with nary a scratch to herself save a slight tear at her sleeves that was barely visible. The few of them were in shock. Who the hell did they mess with?
The man in black, who had not attacked, suddenly swung a punch at her. The seven of them got back on their feet and surrounded An Xunuo. The leader was a much capable fighter, but the other seven were wounded and could not fight as effectively. An Xunuo took them on easily without panicking.
Ye Ningyuan’s lips curled into a smile. Her moves were undoubtedly artful.
“This feels special.” Ye Ningyuan gently smiled as a woman whom he did not know well and was out to kill him ended up protecting him. This was such a special feeling, and her thoughts were really different.
Ye Ningyuan was definitely not naive enough to assume that An Xunuo would specially save him because she wanted to. Chances were that somebody had put a price on his head and she would not allow anybody else to lay a finger on him.
A chill suddenly ran down Ye Ningyuan, and his smile disappeared before he quickly dashed into the chaos like a phantom and grabbed An Xunuo from a bullet that screamed in her direction.
It was a very standard princess carry.
A row of bullets landed on the building. Ye Ningyuan frowned and carried Xunuo as they dodged over ten bullets that headed that way. A slender teenager, with a head full of silver hair, walked out from the dark unsafe building. He had brown eyes and pallor skin, and he aimed at them with a golden pistol.
It was a suppressed pistol that made little noise.
Everybody was shocked seeing how quickly Ye Ningyuan moved and how he dashed over and carried Xunuo as they dodged so many bullets.
“He’s so fast!” The silver-haired teenager’s voice was as cold as though he came from hell.
An Xunuo got out of Ye Ningyuan’s embrace and looked at Ye Ningyuan coldly. She knew that Ye Ningyuan was capable but did not expect him to surpass her expectations. His speed was just the first.
Ye Ningyuan gently smiled and asked, “Didn’t anybody tell you that you ought not to use pistols made from such metals in a night time hit?”
“Young Master Ye, thank you for your advice. I’ll seek your advice the next time.” The silver-haired teen coldly ended his words and turned around to walk away. Ye Ningyuan gently smiled and said, “Did I say that you can leave?”
The silver-haired teen turned his head. “Are you thinking of retaliating?”
“Since you’re here to kill me, why did you lay a finger on her?”
“I just wanted to test your skills. Younger Master Ye is indeed the person I make him out to be.” The silver-haired teen coldly laughed as he darted into the unsafe building and quickly disappeared.
An Xunuo slightly frowned. Weren’t they the same?
Ye Ningyuan frowned and coldly said,” Hmmph, who said you could go?”
Without his permission, nobody could waltz away after shooting him. Who did he think Ye Ningyuan was? Somebody whom he could have his way with? Fat hope!
To shoot at Xunuo for the want of testing him was his berserk button.
Ye Ningyuan absolutely hated people implicating others when they were just after him. Since he was no saint, anybody who pressed his berserk button would certainly pay Hades a visit.
An Xunuo was slightly taken aback. His gaze was so calm, yet terrifying. While he clearly did not fly into a rage and seemed calm, she could sense a terrifying presence in him.
“Young master, why don’t you send somebody who’s more capable? This guy is just acting cool and lacking skill. That’s so lame and such a waste of your time!” A cheerful voice came from the unsafe building. While An Xunuo could clearly feel his presence, his presence quickly disappeared!
A hidden bodyguard!
She was secretly shocked. If that was the case, would he be able to figure out what she was up to? She was secretly shocked and thankful that she did not lay a finger on Ye Ningyuan. She was indeed negligent.
Even though Ye Ningyuan, the young master of the Ye family, was somewhat capable, he was often overseas and his family would always worry about him and definitely place a bodyguard around him. Little did she expect that the person was as stealthy as a ghost.
The group of men who were out to kill Ye Ningyuan was shocked and backed away and ran. “Aren’t you chasing them?” An Xunuo asked.
“Why should I? I don’t kill unless I have to.”
“You’ve already killed one.”
“Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you that ‘kill’ in this case does not mean taking his life.” He had many ways to make somebody’s life a living hell. Killing, in comparison, was too simple.
An Xunuo was taken aback. Ye Ningyuan suddenly bowed and said, “Ah, I almost forgot. Miss An, thank you for saving me.”
An Xunuo clenched her fists so hard they crackled. Was he deliberately doing it? Was he? How terrible of him!
He was a man she could not understand.
“Are you angry?”
“You’ve hidden bodyguards?”
“Huh? Oh, yes. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that my mommy was worried that her darling child would meet with some mishap and insisted that my old man pick a hidden bodyguard from the Dragon Gate to tail me. What a headache indeed.”
