Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite the Bait Please Chapter 87: I Came to Get Reinforcements

When that was brought up, Mu Lai seemed to become a little depressed and was slightly angry. “I do not know where my friend is, and besides a name, I know nothing else.”

Feng Qi was at a loss for words. “…..” [Young Miss Mu, are you serious?]

[After filling my heart with such great delight thinking that we will soon be saved, you are now actually telling me that you do not know where this friend of yours is…..]

[This must be how it feels when one goes from being up in the Heavens and falls into Hell!]

Mu Chi who was not far away from them also choked upon hearing her reply. [Was his sister kidding here? It must be said it would be a rather lame joke if she was, and it really wasn't that appropriate a moment for jokes was it?]

[They were all here right before the jaws of life and death and can you not crack jokes at a time like this to try to liven up the atmosphere?]

Seeing their faces all filled with pure and utter despair, like she had just committed the most unpardonable crime, Mu Lai's temple twitched and she said through tightly clenched teeth. “I really only know just the name. She is called Qing Yu and throughout the entire lands, besides that god of slaughter in the Water Edge Kingdom who is surnamed Qing, no one else has that surname!'

[Maybe she had even lied about her name!]

Mu Chi was a little further away and had not heard that very clearly but faintly heard Qing something being mentioned. He then subconsciously asked: “What's the name again?”

“She's called Qing Yu.”

…..

In the Tranquil Abode, Qing Bei had just come to comprehend a new realm in the Lightning Summoning Palm. He was feeling highly happy and was in exceptionally high spirits, so even when it was already very late, he did not feel the slightest bit of lethargy.

Just as he was going to tell Qing Yu the good news, his ears moved slightly when he heard the sound of movements that were rushing towards them. It was probably due to the advancement in his cultivation that his hearing had become more sensitive than before.

The handsome eyes narrowed. [It was already so late. Could it be that that woman Mo Han Yan still has not given up on getting rid of them and she had sent assassins to come kill them?]

[Heh. His hands were just itching and he had had nowhere to vent.]

The door of the room further in rattled as it was opened. Qing Bei was taken aback a moment. “Sis, you have not gone to sleep yet?”

The white clothes on the young lady was neat and tidy without a single crease in them, her eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of grogginess like a person who had just woken up.

“With them kicking up such a great din, it's hard for me to not wake up.” Qing Yu said darkly. She was already about to go to sleep but had then sense the irregular movements before she gave up on that idea, wanting to see what sort of demons and monsters were creeping in.

Qing Bei was a little surprised when he heard that. He had only sensed those faint movements because his cultivation had advanced so very quickly and here she was saying….. kicking up such a great din?

[Looks like the disparity between them is still very great!] Qing Bei lamented to himself with a sigh.

Seeing that the people who were seeking to barge into the Tranquil Abode had already come into the courtyard and were already right behind the door, Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow and the points of three golden needles glinted sharply and chillingly in the dark room.

But the strange thing was, the person was suddenly standing outside the door and did not move. It was a good while before the person stretched out a hand and knocked on the door.

[? ?]

Qing Yu exchanged a glance with the equally puzzled Qing Bei. [What kind of a situation is this? A change in tact? Courtesy before using force? ?]

Based on the rule that I do not move when the enemy remains still, the person outside the door did not move and the siblings naturally remained still as well. But in the very next second, the person outside actually stuck his hand onto the door and pushed experimentally on the door to open it. At that same moment, the gold needles on Qing Yu's fingertips shot out.

The person outside the door, was in fact Mu Chi whom the men in the Assassination Temple had fought valiantly to shield and protect to allow him to escape.

When he heard the two words Qing Yu that Mu Lai had said with her own mouth, he had thought that he must have heard wrongly. The demoness and Qing Yu were two completely different kinds of people and were worlds apart from each other. How could they possibly come to know each other and it was said they on rather good terms?

Chapter 87.2: I Came to Get Reinforcements

But when Mu Lai started to describe that the person was a highly alluring young lady who looked devilishly handsome when disguised as a young male youth, Mu Chi immediately thought of that person, that one young lady who had moved his heart. He could still remember that awkward and slightly embarrassed expression she had back on the night he had uncovered her disguise.

Now that he had come here again, Mu Chi was feeling rather conflicted in his heart.

But he did not have time to think much about it as the sound of air being torn through coming straight towards his face made him subconsciously feel danger, causing him to leap at lightning speed to dodge to one side. However, the speed of the golden needle was just too fast and one of them scratched his cheek, causing a drop of blood to flow out.

“It's you?” Upon seeing who the person was, Qing Bei's eyes widened in surprise . [Isn't this the man who came here to the Tranquil Abode previously to confess his feelings to Qing Yu? And it seems like he is also the dethroned Sixth Prince? ?]

[What is he doing coming to the Tranquil Abode at this time of the night? And doing it so sneakily at that!]

Qing Yu was also startled for a moment, looking like she had never once ever thought that the intruder was not an assassin, but Mu Chi, whom she had pranked once before, and she immediately reacted. “Are you alright! ?”

Her needles were coated with poison and she hoped that he had not been struck by them.

Mu Chi shook his head. “It's just a scratch. I'm fine.”

Qing Yu tossed him a little porcelain bottle. “Take the antidote just in case anyway. Although the wound is tiny, the potency of my poisons are not.”

“Thanks.” Mu Chi said as he pulled out the bottle's stopper with his teeth, poured out the pill inside and took it. The discomfort that was just surging up them then faded away by quite a bit.

Qing Yu lifted up her phoenix like eyes that were shining with interest as she looked at the rather wretched looking young man measuring him up. “What happened to you? Did you get into a fight?”

The young man smiled bitterly. “It wasn't a fight. It was a bashing.”

“To think such a thing can happen.” Qing Yu crossed her arms, and said in a calm and unruffled manner: “And you came to my Tranquil Abode in the middle of the night seeking refuge?”

The first time they had met, this fella was being pursued by killers and his body succumbed to poison, coming to fall among her herb beds.

“No. Qing Yu, I came here to ask for your help to go save people. We are running out of time. Can I fill you in on the details along the way?” Mu Chi said, his expression looking rather flustered as he spoke.

Although the villa in the capital's suburbs was not that far away from the Eternal Peace Duke Manor, he had still taken a good amount of time to get here, and that was after he had executed the light steps skill to shorten the time by quite a bit.

“Save people?” Qing Yu was taken aback. “Now?”

“Yes, now. Time waits for no man. Every moment wasted here will put them all in increasing danger.”

The young man who always had a mischievous smile on his face and rebelled against conformity had a stern and serious face at that moment. “They are fighting someone who is afflicted with the Dark Sovereign Snake curse, ranked second in snake black magic. His body has been overtaken to the point that his mind is no longer clear and he currently on a rampage of slaughter. My elder sister said that only you are able to dispel this snake black magic and I only barely managed to escape being shielded by all of them. If you do not go save them now, any delay will cost them a few more lives!”

Lives were at stake. Qing Yu retracted her smile. “Give me just one moment.”

Seeing her dig through a whole pile of bottles and flasks, Qing Bei pressed his lips tightly together and asked in a soft voice: “Do you need me to help?”

“No need for that. Little Bei, you just remain here in the manor. In case anything unexpected happens, I do not want you to get hurt.” Qing Yu said without even raising her head, before she then quickly stood up and went walking outside.

“Please be careful.” Seeing that, Qing Bei did not continue to insist, but just called out to her in reminder.

“Don't worry, I will be fine.” Qing Yu gave him a reassuring smile, and then leapt out over the back door of the side courtyard.

At that moment within the villa in the capital's suburbs, the entire place was in complete disarray.

Chapter 87.3: I Came to Get Reinforcements

Because the shadowy snakes the Dark Sovereign Snake shot out were highly corrosive, everyone was forced into a passive situation, constantly dodging. Moreover, that was the body of their comrade and before they have ascertained that he could no longer be saved, they could not make themselves harm him in anyway.

“Chief! Wake up! Do not allow the monster to control you anymore!”

A good looking youth dodged to the side and a shadowy snake brushed his clothes. The cloth immediately rotted away a little. A little bit more and it would have hurt the flesh underneath.

His body subconsciously broke into a bout of cold sweat. He just had a close brush with death and just managed to escape by a hair's breadth.

Looking at the hideous looking man whose face no longer showed any humanity, the young man's face grew red rimmed. To think that the man who was so powerful and had always fought shoulder to shoulder with them all in the past, would finally fall into such a state now. Why must fate be so cruel to him! ?

“Ah Zhan, have you really given up already? Didn't you say that you will make the Carefree Valley take the top position among the Three Great Sects one day? Didn't you say that as long as you still live, the Assassination Temple will forever exist? Are you going to admit defeat? !”

The burly and muscular man with coarse hard looks swung a punch towards the massive leading snake head. The explosive force caught the snake head completely off guard and its vision and mind blurred for a minute.

At that same moment, the body of the man with the red rimmed eyes quivered and his mind was restored to clarity for a moment.

He saw that every single one of his brothers were all in such a wretched shape, all of them carrying significant injuries, the expression of their faces in agony. The leading snake head was currently in another bout of frenzy as it battled for control of the body. The thousands of tiny snake heads weaving and swaying vigorously as they struggled, like two separate consciousness were locked in a tumultuous fight, both seeking to gain the upper hand.

“Argh~~~ Arghhhh~~~ Kill me!!! Just kill me!!!”

The man's tall and slender frame suddenly fell down into a kneel, his hands clasped around his head in a pitiful and mournful wail as blood tears fell from inside his eyes, a hopeless and terrifying sight. “Kill me….. Kill me now!”

“Ah Zhan~~~”

“Heh heh heh, don't think you can be rid of me. Such a great shell of a body will finally become mine!” The snake head said in haughty arrogance as it broke into a series of maniacal laughter.

Mu Lai gripped the soft whip in her hand tightly and her eyes darkened. [It's too late. Looking at the situation, even if Mu Chi manages to find the person, it is feared that the man would not survive.]

Seeing the man in such torment and agony, a sense of hopelessness rose up in Mu Lai's heart for the first time. She was an Elixir Cultivator but she was not able to do anything to save this man who was suffering such torturous pain in front of her.

After another bout of agonized and rage filled roars, while still under the control of the leading snake head, the man suddenly raised up the sword gripped in his hand, and he viciously stabbed it straight towards his own heart, which stunned everyone at the scene.

“Ah Zhan, stop it!”

“Damn you human! You dare to seek your own death! ?”

Among the raging roars between the leading snake head and everyone else from the Assassination Temple, the faint sound of a soft tinkle rang out almost unnoticeably. The sword in the man's hand was struck and sent flying out of his hand, and the leading snake head let out a loud and deafening roar as the thick cluster of tiny snake heads let out a series of agonized hissing.

The sound of light footsteps then sounded inside the villa.

Everyone turned around to look, and they all saw a young lady in a pure and untainted white dress, who seemed like she was treading upon the silver white light of the moon on the ground, her exquisite and alluring contenance fair and mesmerizing as it reflected the moon's rays, a slight smile hanging from the edge of her lips, her demeanor so leisurely she could very well have been taking a stroll in her own courtyard at home.

And with the approach of the young lady, the massive lead snake head suddenly cried out in pain, and the tiny multitude of snake heads started to shrivel and fade away, at a speed that was highly alarming to everyone.

The young lady arched up an eyebrow. “Hmm? Why are you running away for?”
