Chapter 233 Don’t Underestimate Your Enemy
Just like last time, Little Lei cast a spell and brought all of them to the Red Maple Forest. When purple light flashed, everyone vanished from the courtyard. At the same time, Ruying and Suixing appeared in the dark, looking in the forest’s direction.
“Before Master left, he dismissed Zhuiyue from the Night Shadow Guards. Are you going to do it, or should I?”
“You do it. The Ghost King is up to something. I’ll keep an eye on him. I can’t let him take advantage of the situation.”
“Then you have to be careful. The Ghost King is not an ordinary man. To give Master a tough time in such a small place shows his capabilities.”
“So what if he is capable? If Master really gets angry, even ten Ghost Kings will die.”
“Don’t underestimate your enemy.”
For the Ghost King to fight with their master until now, he was anything but simple. If their underestimation of the enemy ruined things, even if they died ten thousand times, they could not escape the blame.
After Ruying and Suixing finished discussing, they each did their own thing. Suixing went to keep an eye on the Ghost King, while Ruying went to deal with Zhuiyue.
Zhuiyue did not know that her death was coming and was currently in a rage. She was furious at what Zhuri had just done and was smashing things in the room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
“That damned Zhuri actually dares to attack me. He’s really detestable. When I become the Lord’s woman, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson.”
Even now, Zhuiyue was still fantasizing about becoming Ye Jiushang’s woman. She had always been confident in defeating Xue Fanxin and replacing her. She thought to herself, When the Lord gets tired of looking at that ugly face, he will change his mind. At that time, as long as I work harder, he will definitely take a fancy to me.
Just as her thoughts were running wild, a cold voice suddenly jolted her awake.
“You will never become the Lord’s woman.”
“Who is it?” Zhuiyue’s expression changed drastically. She went on high alert and looked around. Following that, she saw a black shadow appear out of thin air in her room.
The originally bright room instantly turned dark as if it had lost the sunlight. The temperature also dropped, so cold that it made people shiver.
Zhuiyue could sense how terrifying the person in front of her was. The dark hell-like pressure made her unable to even think of resisting. Apart from fear, she did not have any other emotion.
“Who… who are you? What do you want?”
“How dare an overconfident woman like you compare yourself to the Consort? A subordinate who disobeys the orders of the master dares to dream of becoming his woman. Should I say that you’re naive or stupid?”
“Who exactly are you?” Zhuiyue got more panicked. She did not look straight at the other party. Without her control, her feet retreated, and her legs kept trembling. It could be seen how scared she was.
“With your lowly status, you are not qualified to know who I am. From now on, the Night Shadow Guards will no longer have Zhuiyue.”
“What did you say?”
“To a person about to die, saying anything is no longer important.” Ruying was unwilling to waste his breath on Zhuiyue. He suddenly attacked, instantly appearing in front of Zhuiyue and strangling her neck. Just as he was about to finish the job, a sharp sword aura slashed over, forcing him to stop and retreat.
Zhuiyue’s life had been saved.
