Chapter 701 “Bai Yan’s Arrival (2)”
While the battle continued to progress in the air, Tsing Yi grew increasingly impatient as her consecutive attacks failed to land. Eventually a gush of blood began to make its way up her throat only to be pressed down again by sheer will.
Thankfully the foe didn’t fare any better though.
Muzhen could see how violent and intense the dragoness was going at herself so she didn’t dare to dive in rashly. This was also the main driving force behind her determination to take down the green dragon, it’s too tempting to allow one such as this to escape!
“What are you all doing?” The old beauty hollers out at the crowd down below, “Hurry and join me to take down this dragon!”
This….
Various awkward glances were passed along the crowd.
They know very well the green dragon up there held strength far beyond their own, making it a likelihood of themselves sustaining damage or offering up their life in the process. Only a fool would want to do that when they’re not going to reap any benefit. Moreover, didn’t the ones effected by all this forgive the dragons? There’s no reason or plausible cause to intervene.
Understanding all these points, the other elders who were present for the fight did not move, only playing dumb like good little doggies that they were.
Muzhen didn’t miss this and wanted to vomit blood at their cowardice. She’s already knees deep into this mess and if the situation continues to drag out then reinforcements might arrive for this dragon. That’s an outcome she couldn’t afford.
Grinding her teeth, the old beauty shoots a signaling glare over to Ho Cui Cui who’s now taking up the identity as the third victim. Unfortunately for her though, the former chubby girl not only didn’t do as she wished, the person deliberately turned away to avoid eye contact and stepped backwards….
Growing increasingly frustrated now: “Do the bunch of you know why the chief wants to find Miss Ho for? He’s learned of the miss’s medical ability to cure Huan Yin’s uncurable condition and intends to have her inspect the young lord’s illness. If he learns of how you are all standing by and doing nothing after I’m through then I can guarantee he won’t be pleased. Prepare yourselves for severe punishment!”
To be clear, the old beauty emphasized on ‘medical ability’ and not her alchemy, that leaves a lot of wiggle room for when the time comes. And even if its not possible to cure Yun Feng’s mental outbursts, which was very unlikely since its all a lie, none are able to blame those involved. After all, no one claimed Ho Cui Cui was a miracle healer, only her medical abilities are top notch.
Contrary to the confident Muzhen who’s using her as a bargaining chip, the former chubby girl herself didn’t feel so good right now. In fact, she’s downright panicking after hearing what’s in store for her future.
Isn’t the chief only seeking me out to give his gratitude? What cure his son’s illness? How am I supposed to cure something I don’t know?!
Seeing Muzhen’s warning glare again, Ho Cui Cui’s body instantly froze on the spot. She’s got enough awareness to understand that the Mu Manor and herself was now tied to a single rope. If they fall, she falls.
“Go capture that dragon for me!” Gripping her hand into a tight ball, the fake lashes out to hide the sweat that’s slowly forming on her forehead: “If you kill that thing then I will inform the chief of your merits. I’m sure he will give anyone involved preferential treatment.”
It worked. After exchanging a few nods between themselves, the elders leaped in unison and blocked off Tsing Yi’s back and escape route.
It was hard enough to tackle a single Muzhen in her already weakened state, now that there’s even more foes added to the fray, Tsing Yi’s side instantly went on a downward spiral.
Peng!
It’s unsure who’s blow it was, but after a few exchanges a heavy punch had landed on the dragoness’s chest, causing her to come crashing down from the sky and into the crowd.
With the onlookers further retreating and not wanting to get involved, the river bank now leaves only Silvery’s big huge body and the seriously injured Tsing Yi on the ground….
