Adorable Creature Attacks! The Beauty Surrenders!

Chapter 12 - Qi Yichen, injured!

Little Qi couldn’t take it anymore, she was completely frozen and frightened. Her whole body turned into a stone, “Little……Yu……”

Even the always composed and calm Qi Yichen stared at her in disbelief.

“……” Jia Qizhe stayed silent for a moment, then patted her on the head, “Alright, let's rest for a while.”

“You……you actually agreed?” Gu Qingyu couldn’t believe what she just heard.

“To be honest, I decided to do so from the start, but I just wanted to find a suitable place for us to rest.” He shrugged his shoulders, and smirked at her.

……You’re definitely making fun of me right now!

Gu Qingyu’s heart was about to blow up.

Suddenly, they heard a rustling noise in the woods. Qi Yichen immediately grasped his fan and stood in front, “[Aegis]!”

The bright golden light transformed into a shield, and blocked the incoming attack of needles.

“There’s poison on the silver needles!” Gu Qingyu could smell the poison on the needles with her keen senses.

“This is not from monsters, but man-made” Jia Qizhe smiled, relaxed his shoulders, “In that case, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

……You certainly don’t have anything to be afraid of! But what about me!

Gu Qingyu’s mind felt like it was about to erupt again.

What’s more troublesome, she couldn’t transform because of Qi Yichen’s presence!

In a flash, a few shadows jumped down. They all wore masks and black suits.

You could really feel that they were professional assassins!

Gu Qingyu cursed to herself, “Who did I even offend!”

“Why are you trying to kill us?” Jia Qizhe summoned out his sword. A faint blue fog seemed to dance around the sword edges.

His manner of speaking was still very free and unconstrained, not even the slightest bit of panic.

“You’re wrong, Jia Qizhe. In fact, we admire you.” The leader took the first initiative to string his bow and pointed it towards Gu Qingyu, “We’re here to assassinate the Third Miss of Gu Manor. As long as you don’t interfere, we won’t hurt you nor your friends.”

“But, she’s also my friend.” Jia Qizhe slightly tilted his head, a blue light flashed, and that man collapsed.

So quick! She couldn’t even see when he swung his sword!

Gu Qingyu couldn’t help but feel endless admiration towards Jia Qizhe!

The rest of them didn’t have the same sense of courtesy, and charged towards Gu Qingyu.

Jia Qizhe grabbed his sword and swiftly killed a few within seconds, but there were too many of them.

“[Aegis]!” Qi Yichen protected Gu Qingyu’s front. He pointed his fingers towards the fan and transferred more magic power to support it. The fan emitted a golden barrier, parrying all the hidden weapons that came flying from every direction.

Luckily, Little Qi’s magical power wasn’t all too weak, she managed to barely protect herself. Most of them ignored her, since she wasn’t their main target.

Standing aside and being ignored, she could only watch helplessly when everyone was struggling in the battle, “……”

“Swooosh——”

Hidden weapons flashed through, a flying dart caused another bloodstain on Qi Yichen’s snowy sleeves.

He was injured!

“Qi Yichen, you……” Gu Qingyu stared at the bloodstains, her heart was full of mixed feelings, “Why are you protecting me?” If only you weren’t protecting me, you could easily defend yourself!

“Because I was the one who brought you here,”Qi Yichen smiled, his smile was still gentle and refined as always, “You’re also my friend.”

Friend……He even regarded her as a friend……

Gu Qingyu was slightly stunned, but the black blood on Qi Yichen’s sleeves brought her quickly back to reality.

“Yo-you got poisoned?!” Qi Yichen’s lips started to faintly turn purple, “The toxicity in that dart is very strong, don’t move!” She turned around, “Jia Qizhe! Qi Yichen got poisoned, what should I do!”

“Do what you can.” Jia Qizhe set up a barrier around them, while resisting the group of men together with Little Qi. Unable to withdraw.

Are you telling me that I should prepare the funeral here? I don’t want to! I barely arrived for a few days! Influential figures like Jia Qizhe, Mo Bai and Qi Yichen, I’ve only met three!

Wait a moment, Mo Bai?

Gu Qingyu, you’re a genius!

A halo momentarily flashed around her head, she brought out the small pouch she carried and took out the Thousand Blossom Grass, “Here, this thing……how does one use it?” She kept all of the gift Mo Bai gave her, since he didn’t seem like a bad person, “He’s a Divine Healer~ These things ought to be useful!”

“Qingyu, what’s this?” He looked curiously at the grass stalk. Please, forgive him for being curious at this moment and time.

“How should I know! It was called something like ‘Thousand Blossom Grass’, why don’t you try it first!” Gu Qingyu passed over the Thousand Blossom Grass.

The Thousand Blossom Grass started to flicker a faint green light, the light gradually expanded, and wrapped around Qi Yichen.

Even Gu Qingyu who was by his side could feel the might of the Thousand Blossom Grass! The light was so gentle, soft and comforting.

Even the naked eyes could see how quickly Qi Yichen’s wound started to heal up!

Simply unbelievable!

“Thousand Blossom Grass……” Qi Yichen chuckled, “This is a very rare herb, Qingyu. You actually gave it me so eagerly.”

“My god! I can’t take this anymore!” Gu Qingyu just lay straight down on the ground, “Just leave if you want to! ……Eee, only if you have the heart to do so!”

Gu Qingyu continued to press her luck and stayed stubbornly on the ground.

“……” Jia Qizhe paused, then continued walking, “Let’s go.”

Qi Yichen glanced at Gu Qingyu, but followed suit.

“Woah! You are really going to abandon me! Little Qi, wait!” She shouted for Little Qi who was last. Little Qi immediately ran towards her, “Little Yu, it’s getting late. Monsters will appear soon, let’s hurry up!”

Seems like pleading with Little Qi won’t work anymore, Qu Qingyu was determined! She caught up to Jia Qizhe, and clung to his thighs, “Ahh! Distinguished, admirable, handsome and magnanimous Hero Jia! Can’t you be nicer to me!”
