Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 150

"No, you can't... let go of me..."

Qing Jianyue was in complete disarray, entangled with Lu Qingcheng on the bed, their clothes being torn off one by one...

The white fox suddenly leaped out, raised its head, its golden eyes flashing with a sharp light, and its beautiful ears twitched a few times. In a flash, it ran to the door and listened intently. After a while, as if confirming something, it turned and jumped onto the bed, opening its mouth to give Lu Qingcheng's arm a perfectly timed, light bite.

Lu Qingcheng was nearly scared to death by it, looking up at it. It looked back at him, then glanced at the door, its ears twitching nervously. Only then did Lu Qingcheng realize something was wrong, and he hugged Qing Jianyue even tighter. Qing Jianyue cried out, "Let me go." Lu Qingcheng reached out and covered its mouth, whispering, "Don't make a sound."

Despite her inner turmoil, Qing Jianyue was still a well-trained individual and immediately sensed the odd tone in his voice, so she stopped struggling. Lu Qingcheng focused her mind and concentrated her energy on her ears, instantly filling them with an incomparably beautiful auditory world.

Every sound within a radius of more than ten feet was absorbed into the eardrums without missing a single detail: the sound of the wind, the clanging of iron, the rustling of branches, snoring, whispers, and the footsteps of the guards. There was also an extremely faint, almost inaudible sound, which, as nimbly as an animal, slipped past the guards' eyes and crept in through the window of the outer hall.

Lu Qingcheng was shocked: An assassin! Damn it, they ruined my plans. Unforgivable.

He jumped out of bed, grabbed a piece of clothing from the floor, wrapped it around his waist, and tied it casually. Then he turned back to look at Qing Jianyue, a wicked and alluring smile playing on his lips. Qing Jianyue turned her face away, her face flushed with embarrassment, wanting nothing more than to punch him hard in the face.

Before leaving, Lu Qingcheng didn't forget to unfold the quilt to cover his half-naked body, saying, "Wait for me." Finally, she put the bed curtains back up and took the jewel-encrusted purple jade sword from the weapon rack. He listened to the uninvited guest's intrusion, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.

The uninvited guest was passing through the outer hall and moving towards the door to the inner hall. He listened cautiously to the sounds inside before gently pushing the carved door. Without any resistance, the carved door slid open silently. He slipped inside more nimbly than a cat, carefully closed the door, and then turned around, only to be so horrified by the scene before him that he almost jumped up.

Lu Qingcheng was resting her hands on the hilt of the sword, staring intently at him, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

But this person was no ordinary person either. He regained his composure in an instant and began to carefully examine Lu Qingcheng.

His handsome face exuded a resolute and determined air of heroism; he had long hair more beautiful than a woman's, cascading down his bare back and broad chest, a sapphire blue ribbon around his forehead that accentuated his delicate features. A garment was casually tied around his waist, revealing two long, slender legs that were surprisingly strong and powerful, far from being slender.

The assassin thought to himself: This man is handsome, but his fierce and kingly aura is not like the description in the data. Could it be that the investigation is wrong?

Soon, his gaze fell on the white fox crouching at Lu Qingcheng's feet, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Qingcheng spoke first, "You came here not just to see what I look like, right?"

The uninvited guest lowered his voice and said, "You were so perceptive in detecting my intrusion, you must have received a warning from this white fox, right?"

Lu Qingcheng grinned. "I admire your composure. Not bad, you're unlucky. I did receive a warning from the white fox."

The uninvited guest continued, "This golden-eyed white fox is indeed as spiritual as the legends say. However, as far as I know, it belongs to Qing Jianyue. You are not Qing Jianyue, you are Lu Qingcheng."

Lu Qingcheng narrowed her eyes dangerously, like a menacing cheetah, and said in a deep voice, "Fox, go and protect your master."

The white fox rose gracefully, gave the uninvited guest a cold stare with her golden eyes, and then quietly retreated back to the inner room.

The uninvited guest chuckled, "It's so late, and you're in Qing Jianyue's room. It seems the rumors are true. Qing Jianyue is indeed your beloved pet. What I don't expect is that Lord Lu would value Qing Jianyue more than his own life. No wonder my master ordered me to kill Qing Jianyue even if I couldn't kill you."

Lu Qingcheng's eyes flashed with anger and she said sharply, "Feng Piaoxiang, as you wished, you have indeed angered me."

The uninvited guest was startled and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"You idiot," Lu Qingcheng cursed, "the sandalwood scent on you has already given away your identity."

Feng Piaoxiang angrily said, "Lu Qingcheng, you immature brat, how dare you insult me! Today is your death day."

He suddenly drew his sword and swiftly thrust it at Lu Qingcheng. This seemingly simple strike actually contained endless offensive power and unpredictable variations. The sword tip trembled, emitting a hissing sound.

"Clang!"

The purple jade sword was drawn from its sheath.

Feng Piaoxiang felt a sudden flash of cold light and immediately felt short of breath. However, there was no time for him to back down; he had no choice but to fight with all his might to assassinate the enemy.

The room resounded with a series of clanging sounds of swords clashing, like the rapid and swift pounding of a sudden rain on banana leaves.

Lu Qingcheng shouted, "Not bad, worthy of being Kang Boying's sworn brother. Take this knife again."

The Purple Jade Blade enveloped Feng Piaoxiang, its momentum incredibly powerful, exuding an aura of sweeping away thousands of troops.

Feng Piaoxiang was secretly alarmed, relying on his agile movements and profound swordsmanship to stay afloat. He thought to himself, "Damn it, I was fooled by Li Ying. This kid is way too strong." Even worse, the information was wrong; Lu Qingcheng was actually in Qing Jianyue's room.

Suddenly, he noticed that while Lu Qingcheng was launching a powerful and overwhelming attack, she remained cautiously guarding the door to the inner room, as if afraid he would rush in. Feng Piaoxiang immediately thought of Qing Jianyue and thought: If I rush in and capture Qing Jianyue as a hostage, I can coerce Lu Qingcheng.

He slashed wildly, and the instant Lu Qingcheng took a step back to avoid his attack, he rolled on the ground, his posture as he got up making it seem as if he was about to rush towards the window to escape.

Lu Qingcheng was deceived. With lightning speed, she dodged and flashed her blade, blocking his path. In that instant, he darted like a rabbit, heading straight for the door to the inner room.

Lu Qingcheng was shocked and roared, "Unforgivable!"

The moment the bedroom door burst open, the white fox snarled and bared its sharp, menacing teeth as it charged towards them.

Damn it, I completely forgot about this beast.

Feng Piaoxiang thrust her sword forward swiftly, but she hadn't expected the white fox to be able to turn so skillfully in mid-air and disappear like lightning. Lu Qingcheng's purple jade saber struck with lightning speed, severing his right hand that was holding the sword with a "crack".

A voice shouted, "Cousin, you can't kill him!"

At that moment, the white fox arrived like a shooting star.

Lu Qingcheng shouted, "Fox, don't kill him."

The white fox then stopped its attack and quickly retreated back into the inner room.

Lu Qingfeng, carrying a precious sword and disheveled, came over to look at the barely surviving assassin and asked in confusion, "What happened? I thought it was Li Zhen. Why is Feng Piaoxiang from Fengyue Manor here?"

Liu Xicheng led his guards in, and when they saw the scene, they were all terrified and turned pale. They quickly grabbed Feng Piaoxiang.

Lu Qingcheng ordered, "Have a doctor treat his injuries. He must not die. Immediately summon the Grand Enforcer, the Second Lord, the Third Lord, the Fourth Lord, and Chief Supervisor Bai to see me."

"yes."

Zhang Zhichun and others quickly obeyed the order.
