Chapter 166: Unheard of
The night was hazy, and the long street was pitch black, instilling a sense of inexplicable fear in people.
However, not far from Fang Xiaoxiao and her companion, sparks flew from the collision of metal.
The spark was fleeting, then reappeared very quickly.
It added a touch of warmth to what was originally a chilling environment.
Fang Xiaoxiao removed the three silver needles that had been inserted into the back of Zhou Wenjian's neck, and then stood up.
She turned to look straight ahead at the faintly visible sparks, and the first question that came to her mind was: who would come to save her?
Logically speaking, since she came into this world, the only person who could be so powerless by her side was Long Jinyan.
After all, when she and He Jinnian were trapped in the abandoned mine, it was Long Jinyan who single-handedly fought off a dozen assassins and killed their leader.
It's impossible for Ke Long Jin Yan to be on the long street right now.
In the morning, she had already arranged for Long Jinyan and the others to go to Jiangnan Province to purchase materials.
Judging by the time, they should have already left Changle County quite far away.
As she pondered who it was, the sparks in front of her suddenly went out, and then she saw the person who had killed her fly out from the darkness.
The person who flew out was none other than the tall and strong Third Brother.
Sanwa was like a cannonball being fired, rushing straight towards Fang Xiaoxiao.
The shells were about to hit her and Zhou Wenjian.
Fang Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed Zhou Wenjian and ran towards the noodle stall.
"boom!"
She had just left with Zhou Wenjian when a loud noise came from behind them.
After she handed Zhou Wenjian over to the trembling old man squatting on the ground, she stood up and looked toward the sound.
From the spot where the loud noise came from, lay a killer with twisted limbs and a bloody, mangled face, looking utterly terrifying.
"Amazing!"
Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh. Now, when she saw such a bloody scene, she felt absolutely no fear.
After all, she graduated with a medical degree.
The cadavers I saw in school were a hundred times more terrifying than those I see now.
But honestly, who could possess such formidable skills, with methods that were not only exceptional but also extremely cruel?
"If it's the enemy, then we're in big trouble!"
Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and a thought flashed through her mind, prompting her to mutter a curse inwardly.
Just as she was pondering the problem, she heard a voice behind her again.
Without a doubt, it must be another assassin with shifty eyes and a thin, small build.
This time, she didn't need to panic and dodge like before.
She glanced back at what was happening behind her and shifted her body slightly to the side.
The thin, small man brushed past her and quickly ran towards the man lying motionless on the ground.
"boom!"
The thin man crashed heavily to the ground, making intimate contact with the earth, before his body went limp and he lay sprawled on the floor.
"died!"
Upon seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward, intending to ask the other party whether the First Prince had sent them to kill her.
Although she had made some initial judgments, she still needed to hear it with her own ears out of caution.
Who knew this guy would just die like that, giving people no chance to react, let alone save them!
Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he could not bring the dead back to life.
Fang Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, looking at the two ugly, unfamiliar corpses in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.
Just as she sighed, a strange woman's voice came from behind her.
“Madam Fang, there’s no need to ask anymore. I’ve already inquired, but the other party is tight-lipped and would rather die than confess.”
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Please be careful in the future, madam!"
The woman was dressed in black night clothes, and her face was completely covered with a black veil.
Her figure is very graceful, with curves in all the right places.
However, such a woman is probably someone that everyone can only look up to.
Even someone like Fang Xiaoxiao, with her stunning beauty, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.
She first glanced at the woman, then looked down at her own chest, and then stood up and said.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, heroine. I have no way to repay you but can offer you some money as a token of my gratitude!"
"My lady, please don't be so polite. I was just helping someone in need. There's no need for such mundane things."
The woman spoke in a soft, melodious voice, as sweet as a lark's song.
Who wouldn't be attracted to or admire such a seemingly perfect woman?
Even Fang Xiaoxiao, who is also a woman, is no exception.
She stared intently at the woman, trying to make out her features through her bright, clear eyes.
Unfortunately, she failed.
All she could see was that the woman's eyes were particularly beautiful.
The woman didn't mind and simply bowed.
"Since you don't need this money, could you at least let me know your name?"
"In that case, if the lady comes to our shop to buy something in the future, I will be able to show her hospitality as a host."
The woman nodded slightly, then waved her hand.
"People of the martial world need not be so formal; a name is just a title."
"If fate allows, we will surely meet again in the future!"
"As for what you said about buying things from your shop, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"I don't like buying strange things, please forgive me, my wife."
As a businesswoman, Fang Xiaoxiao gleaned some important information from her words.
In her view, women are very prone to saying one thing and meaning another.
Saying no means you mean yes.
She was 100% certain of that.
This is the thought.
Fang Xiaoxiao answered without changing her expression.
"Alright then, since the lady doesn't like shopping, I won't say anything more."
"However, if you have any female friends in the future, you can introduce them to our store."
"Our store mainly sells black mud masks that make women's faces instantly smooth and delicate, as well as perfumes, lipsticks and other items that will be launched soon."
"Among these, perfume can make a person's body emit different fragrances, and the lasting effect is very long. With long-term use, it can even become a natural body odor."
"And that lipstick, it not only makes the lips pink and rosy, but also prevents the lips from becoming dry and cracked in autumn and winter."
"It's an essential item for home and travel, making every girl beautiful and refined..."
Her eloquent speech covered everything that would be sold in the store.
From lipstick and perfume to women's underwear and sanitary napkins used during menstruation, Xiaoman was secretly amazed by everything she heard.
The things she described sounded like legendary divine objects.
She had followed the eldest prince for many years and had traveled all over the world.
But he had never heard of, let alone seen, the thing Fang Xiaoxiao was talking about.
