The attack had been going for almost half a s.h.i.+chen already and the three women were almost on the verge of collapse. Only An Wei and the man were the ones who were still full of stamina.

"Speak! What is your purpose here?!"

An Wei was already exhausted although he tried to hide it in front of this annoying man. He glanced at YuShen and saw that she was already tired, same with YuShang and YuYing. An Wei was afraid that if the fighting would continue a little longer, the three women would definitely die due to over exertion. He had no choice but to buy time.

The man who was wearing a golden mask did not speak. He only stared at YuYing and the other two women. He did not even look at An Wei as if the man was treating An Wei like an air.

"You-!!"

An Wei wanted to speak and rebuke the man's nasty att.i.tude when he noticed that something was not right. The man's hand that was holding a sword was shaking. Although the movement was very minimal, as if the shaking was being forcefully suppressed, An Wei was still able to see it. He could not help but wonder. The first time An Wei saw him, An Wei knew that the man was very proficient in qinggong and might be a high level master, even higher than him. Now that he was able to think deeply, it seemed like the man in front of him had become weaker.

Why was that so?

'Is he injured?'

While An Wei was pondering deeply, YuShen already decided to sacrifice herself. They had to stop him at all cost! If the man was able to pa.s.s through their defense, he would definitely go to XiaoJie's room and abduct her once again. She had no choice but to sacrifice herself. She was unwilling to die and leave her XiaoJie's side but that was the only think she could do.

Without saying anything, YuShen threw her soft sword on the ground as she moved forward. She placed both of her hands on her waist and pulled two vials inside her pouch. She ran towards the man, wanting to drag him with her.

"YUSHEN NO!!"

Alas. An Wei's words had fallen into YuShen's deaf ears.

Xu Fei Yu had been sweating hard. It was full moon and his body was on the verge of breaking. He could feel the excruciating pain coming from his toes up to his head. It had been over half a s.h.i.+chen since the fight started and he was already on the verge of collapse.

"YUSHEN, NO!!!"

When he saw that the woman who was wearing a green dress was running forward, Xu Fei Yi wanted to jump and evade her. Unfortunately, Xu Fei Yi noticed that his body could no longer move, and he could only stand stiffly. Weak. He was very weak right now.

Xu Fei Yi saw the vials on her hands and knew that the liquid inside of it was very lethal. It was the 'seven-snake' poison created from mixing seven different types of snake poison. Regrettably, he could not move and could only wait for his doom. Although it would not harm him to the extent of crippling his body, it would be annoying to waste an antidote.

But before YuShen could touch Xu Fie Yi's clothes, a shadow moved forward and kicked YuShen away.

"Your Lords.h.i.+p."

It was Yue s.h.i.+n.

Xu Fei Yi's eyes darkened. It was the first time that Yue s.h.i.+n disobeyed his order. Xu Fei Yi's anger rose, turning the surroundings colder but before he could even speak, Xu Fei Yi suddenly felt an excruciating pain coming from his heart. He could not help but puke blood, dyeing the ground red.

"YOUR LORDs.h.i.+P!!!!"

Xu Fei Yi could hear Yue s.h.i.+n's scream before he fainted.

"Ahh.. urghh… uhh.."

XuanRong's pale face was full of determination. Something was telling her that she had to go outside. Step by step, XuanRong slowly forced herself from walking while borrowing the support of the wall.

'I.. I have to… I have to go.. outside.. Something… something is… calling me..'

"Ha…ha…ha.."

Using her partially blind eyes, XuanRong was able to reach the door.

*creeaaaaaakk*

The door was pushed open and XuanRong stumbled on the ground. Suddenly, XuanRong heard a male's voice shouting, "YOUR LORDs.h.i.+P!!!!!"

XuanRong's lips quivered.

'Your Lords.h.i.+p? Is he…. here?'

XuanRong wanted to open her mouth to speak but she was unable to utter any words. She could only weakly lay on the ground as she blindly stared at the sky.

'Ah… so bright.'

XuanRong could still vaguely see the moon due to its brightness. She weakly raised her hand and slowly covered her eyes.

What was wrong with her?

Was she expecting for him to come?

XuanRong mockingly laughed inwardly.

'XuanRong ah. What is happening to you? Have you forgotten what you have experienced in your previous lifetime? A dirty woman like you would even dare to expect something from your benefactor. Ha. How shameful. A worn-out broken shoe like you should not have any right to be happy.'

XuanRong was very confused of her own feelings.

She had only met him a couple of times but why was she so affected because of him?

Before fainting, XuanRong was unable to answer her own question.
