Chapter 188 . 1: Nangong Yan


 
Save her?

Tang Doudou looked at the young girl, then looked at the door . Those footsteps were gradually getting closer . “Someone’s chasing you?”

“En . ” The young girl gazed towards her pitifully . “Big Sister, please save me . If I get caught, I definitely won’t be able to go home again . ”

“What’s your name? You don’t seem like someone of Cloud City?” Tang Doudou wasn’t worried about the people outside . After all, this was the City Lord Residence . It wasn’t a place a person could casually stroll into .

However, the young girl seemed very anxious . “I’m Nangong Yan . I only came to Cloud City recently . Big Sister, can you find a place for me to hide first?”

“Don’t worry, this is the City Lord Residence . Those little fish won’t dare to enter…”

Before she even finished speaking, the doors had been rammed open . A dozen people holding weapons flooded in . when they saw Nangong Yan, they shouted, “She’s over there!”

Fine, she took back her earlier words . Tang Doudou stepped in front of Nangong Yan as she looked at the people in front of her . “Don’t you know that trespassing on people’s homes is against the law?”

“Humph? Against the law? My family’s young master is the law! I’d advise you to hurry up and hand over that woman . Otherwise… humph! If you provoke my family’s young master, he has a hundred different ways to make you suffer so much you’d beg for death!”

Pfff!

This classical line almost made Tang Doudou burst out laughing . Could his family’s master be Xie Liangchen?

However, it was she that was the native here, alright?

“Oh, is that so?”

“Of course! Quit wasting time . Now that you know, hurry up and hand her over!”

Tang Doudou glanced back at Nangong Yan who was cowering behind her, then spread her hands helplessly and said, “What if I refuse?”

“Humph! If you won’t hand her over, then you’ll just have to suffer punishment from Young Master along with her!” The leader waved his hand and about a dozen people immediately moved up and swung their weapons at Tang Doudou and Nangong Yan .

Tang Doudou shielded Nangong Yan and moved back until they were at a corner of the courtyard . She looked down and said to Nangong Yan, “I’ll block them, you should hurry and leave . ”

“But Big Sister, what about you?” asked Nangong Yan worriedly .

She smiled . “Don’t worry, trash like them won’t be able to cause any trouble for me!”

Ever since that incident with Mu Ye, she had made a resolution to properly practice martial arts . During this time while she was in Cloud City, whenever she had free time, she would ask Bai Feiyun to teach her martial arts . Although she didn’t learn anywhere close to enough, nor learned them proficiently enough, all the skills Bai Feiyun taught her were very practical . She could tell that these people weren’t experts from how messy their footwork were . The little bit of martial arts she knew was enough to defeat them .

“Big Sister, I think I should stay with you . ” Unexpectedly, Nangong Yan refused to leave .

This wouldn’t work . If she couldn’t beat them, she could still run away by herself, but she wasn’t confident that she could protect this girl while running away . After all, the opponent had a lot of numbers .

“You had better leave . What if I’m too preoccupied to look after you later?”

“Big Sister, you’re so amazing, so you can definitely do it!” Nangong Yan seemed to have quite a lot of faith in her .

Tang Doudou gave a hollow laugh . “If I told you that I’ve only been learning martial arts for a few days, would you still say this?”

Nangong Yan hesitated . An expression of uncertainty appeared on her face . Following that, it was replaced by an expression of resolve as if she had made some huge decision . “I still believe in Big Sister!”

Her resolute words made Tang Doudou a little speechless . Everything she had said earlier were true ah!

Aiy, in this day and age, even if one told the truth, no one would believe anymore .

She tilted her head back forty-five degrees to look towards the sky sorrowfully . At this moment, a trace of ruthlessness flashed through Nangong Yan’s eyes and she shot a look towards the person leading that group . That person immediately understood and attacked Nangong Yan with his sword .

“Ah!” Nangong Yan’s face immediately turned pale with fright . She was so scared that she blanked out and froze there .

By the time Tang Doudou lowered her head, the blade was about to pierce into Nangong Yan’s chest . Her facial color changed slightly . As she flashed over, she pulled the dagger out from her waist and blocked the sword .

An enormous shockwave exploded outwards when they made contact . Tang Doudou’s purlicue went numb from the force . She looked up with shock towards the person holding the sword . He had been concealing his strength!

This inner strength was actually comparable to hers!

After that collision, Tang Doudou retreated once again while protecting Nangong Yan but was driven into a corner .

“Who are you? Why did you conceal your strength?” Tang Doudou questioned in a low voice . However, she was sneakily glancing around and assessing which place seemed easier to escape from .

At the same time, she was very puzzled . Why wasn’t there any reaction from people within the City Lord Residence even though so many people had barged in?

Could it be that Su Yi didn’t set up any defenses in the City Lord Residence?

Wasn’t this a little too lax?

Or was it that he felt no one would dare burst in like this and so didn’t bother with that effort?

She felt like that was probably the case . After all, other than what happened the past two days, most of the residents of Cloud City were always wounded around the City Lord Residence . Only outsiders that didn’t know the situation would dare barge into this place .

It was also Su Yi’s fault . Look how domineering Feng Wu’s City Lord Residence was!

Yet his City Lord Residence was just like her Alliance Head Residence, simple and crude to the point people could hardly believe it .

However, there was at least a sign hanging over her Alliance Head Residence so most people didn’t dare to casually barge into it . Su Yi’s City Lord Residence didn’t even have an indicator! It seemed like an ordinary roadside courtyard . Who would have imagined that this was where the Lord of Cloud City lived?

Hence, even if she said that this was the City Lord Residence, the people in front of her probably wouldn’t believe it .

“Humph! I’m someone who wants your life!” That person laughed coldly, then moved to attack her again .

Someone that wants her life?

Tang Doudou glanced back at Nangong Yan, a trace of suspicion flashing through her eyes .

Nangong Yan sensed her gaze and immediately scrunched up her face . Her eyes filled with tears as she asked, “Is Big Sister suspecting me? I really only came here because they were trying to kill me . ”

Chapter 188 . 2: Nangong Yan

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be acting, Tang Doudou retrieved her gaze . She still felt a bit vexed but turned to focus on battling that person . The two’s inner strengths were similar, but the opponent had much more techniques and battle experience . After a few exchanges, Tang Doudou fell to a disadvantage and was forced to a corner . She tried to block the sword with the dagger but the dagger was sent flying .

“It is prohibited to kill one another within Cloud City . If you kill me in Cloud City, you’ll be captured by the City Lord before you even make it out of the city!” Right after she came to Cloud City, she had been forced by Bai Feiyun to read a thick pile of papers about the city’s rules . Although she didn’t memorize all of them, she faintly remembered this one .

She spoke very fast . Right as the sword was about to land on her neck, that person froze . Hesitation flashed through his eyes .

No matter what reason he had for killing her, anyone would have misgivings when it involved his own life . No one would be dumb to the point of using his own life to trade for another person’s life, right?

However, as that person hesitated, something Tang Doudou never imagined happened .

Nangong Yan who she had been shielding the entire time suddenly appeared in front of her . She picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and fiercely stabbed it towards that person’s chest .

This had happened in the blink of an eye . By the time Tang Doudou reacted, it was already too late . Nangong Yan’s dagger seemed about to pierce into that person’s chest . “Nangong Yan, don’t kill him!”

If she killed him, Nangong Yan would be the one that’d be arrested by Cloud City!

The more Tang Doudou thought about it, the more she felt she should stop Nangong Yan . Her body had started moving before her thoughts even fully formed . She reached out to grab Nangong Yan’s shoulder .

However, before she managed to do so, a pain came from her lower abdomen .

She spurt out a mouthful of blood, then lowered her head disbelievingly . She followed the sight of the sharp weapon inserted into her abdomen to look towards Nangong Yan’s face which had a brilliant smile . “Haha, you’re such a stupid woman . How did Senior Brother end up taking a fancy to you?”

Tang Doudou didn’t know who she was talking about and right now she didn’t care . She was furious . This already wasn’t the first time!

In Rutaceae Pavilion, she had also saved Feng Yunhuan out of the kindness of her heart but ended up being abandoned by him to burn in the underground palace .

However, she didn’t even have the strength to be angry anymore . The dagger that had pierced into her abdomen was her own dagger . That special dagger would eject sharp points from both sides once it stabbed into something and grip onto the flesh tightly . Just the slightest movement would hurt a person to the point it caused cold sweat .

It was precisely due to this dagger that Ah Meng had been able to deal with the alpha that quickly .

She never expected that one day she would end up being hurt by her own dagger .

It was also unknown what great grudge or hatred Nangong Yan harbored towards her . After she stabbed her with the dagger, she continuously stirred the dagger as if she would only be satisfied once she mashed all of Tang Doudou’s organs into mangled flesh .

Large droplets of sweat fell from Tang Doudou’s forehead . She was in so much pain she didn’t even have the energy to scream .

Nangong Yan smiled with exceptional happiness when she saw Tang Doudou in pain . Her little face was currently like that of a devil . “As long as I kill you, Senior Brother will be mine! Haha!”

“I don’t even know your Senior Brother, don’t you think it’s too excessive to try and kill me just because of this?” Nangong Yan was so young, yet she was so malicious . She even dared to come to Cloud City to kill her despite all the dangers just for the sake of a man .

It wasn’t that she was too audacious . It was that she was too naive and still didn’t know the complexity of the world .

So what if she died?

Would Su Yi let Nangong Yan off for killing her?

She was truly stupidly naive!

“Ha, you don’t know my Senior Brother? Would you dare to say that in front of him? Li Xueyi, you should have died long ago, yet you kept bouncing up like a cockroach!” Nangong Yan’s voice became increasingly filled with resentment .

But she freaking didn’t know who Nangong Yan’s senior brother was ah! Why did she have to suffer this stab?

Seeing the depressed expression on her face, Nangong Yan started smiling again in a completely harmless way . “However ah, that’s all in the past . This time, this lady has taken the time to do it personally . If you still don’t die, then I’ll acknowledge you as a rival . ”

Acknowledge her as a rival? Tang Doudou really wanted to laugh but instead she asked, “Who exactly is your senior brother? You should at least let me know why I ended up dying, right?”

“I just like letting people die without understanding why . Those eyes filled with resentment and remaining grievances are so wonderful! I just can’t get enough of them!”

Ha . Ha . She was probably a lunatic .

Tang Doudou even felt pity for the Senior Brother that this girl had a secret crush on . To be longed for by such a terrifying woman, that person probably didn’t even dare to close his eyes at night .

However, all of that had nothing to do with her anymore . Blood continuously flowed out from her abdomen and soon dyed all of her clothes red . Even she felt that if she survived this, she was probably the reincarnation of a cockroach .

“Miss, someone is coming . We should hurry and leave!” A man holding a sword walked up to Nangong Yan and said this to her softly .

Nangong Yan glared at him coldly as she continued to move the dagger vigorously . Following that, she mercilessly pulled the dagger out and threw it to the side . Without bothering to even glance at Tang Doudou who had collapsed, she said, “Let’s go!”
