Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 101

Kazama Yoru looked at him coldly: "Not stabbing?"

Feng Xuese said calmly, "Chinese people are upright and honest, and have never learned such tricks of taking advantage of others in distress!" He took back his longsword and assumed a defensive stance.

Zhu Huihui stared at Feng Xuese and sighed. The old hero had fallen into his old habits again. When would he ever get rid of this bad habit of being a pushover?

Kazama Yoru glanced at Zhu Huihui, his gaze as cold as a blade. Then he turned to Maple Snow: "If you don't stab me now, you'll never have the chance again!"

Feng Xuese simply smiled, her expression remaining calm and composed: "Grey Grey, what did I tell you before?"

Zhu Huihui thought to himself, "What good things did you tell me, old man? 'Run away and I'll cut off your legs,' 'Lies and I'll cut off your head,' or 'Stealing and I'll cut off your hand'? It's all the same bloody stuff!"

Ah, I remember now: "You said that if I ever attacked someone from behind again, you would cut off my hand!"

Feng Xuese snorted: "Very well, you still remember!"

"But that doesn't count as a sneak attack from behind!" Zhu Huihui protested. "That's called... that's attacking from the shadows! Besides, his martial arts are so high, I couldn't possibly hit him!"

Normally, if she were to argue so unreasonably, Feng Xuese wouldn't need to say a word. He could simply raise his sword and place it against her neck, and she would be obedient. But with a formidable enemy before him, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, lest he say something that would provoke her into saying something even more shameless and infuriating, giving the enemy an opportunity to strike.

Kazama Yoru's gaze lingered on Zhu Huihui for a moment, his eyes cold and deep.

Zhu Huihui shivered and involuntarily shrank back, guiltily avoiding his gaze. She then grabbed an even larger rock, thinking to herself: This guy must hate me to death, I have to stay away from him!

Kazama Yoru suddenly seemed somewhat disinterested: "If you don't stab me, I'll go!"

Feng Xuese slowly said, "We have exchanged 723 blows, and neither of us has lost a single move. In an ordinary duel, I, Feng, would not linger. Unfortunately, we are enemies, not friends. Even if I do not pursue you, my two seriously injured brothers, my two elder brothers Qin and Song, and many innocent civilians who have been harmed compel me to keep you here!"

Kazama Yoru gazed at the endless void, his eyes filled with desolation: "Life is impermanent, the dead are gone. They left us only a moment earlier, so even if I were to stay, what difference would it make?"

Feng Xuese remained silent for a moment: "Keeping you here, although it's impossible to bring back the lives that have been lost, at least it can put those who were killed by you at peace in the afterlife, and it can also prevent more people from being harmed by you!"

Kazama Yoru exhaled softly and said, "Although your martial arts are high, it won't be easy for you to keep me here!"

Maple-colored smile: "We can try again!"

Kazama Yoru gave a cold laugh: "I don't care, but I'm afraid some people can't wait."

Zhu Huihui jumped up and shouted, "This guy is a lecherous villain, but what he said makes a lot of sense. We'll settle our score later and fight him again next time!"

Feng Xuese hesitated for a moment. He knew that Zhu Huihui must have a reason for saying that, but Feng Jianye was clearly the mastermind behind the crime. If he let him go this time, he didn't know when he would run into him again...

Kazama Yoru gave Zhu Huihui a deep look, then turned around and attacked. The Cloud-Piercing Moon-Locking Flute conjured up a series of flashing meteors as it struck Feng Xuese. Feng Xuese withdrew and retreated, parrying with her sword.

Kazama Yoru forced Maple Snow Colors back with one move, but did not pursue her. Instead, he closed in on Zhu Huihui and pinched her pink cheek hard.

Zhu Huihui was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. Enduring the pain, she reached out and poked the other person's eyes—poking eyes, biting ears, and kicking the genitals are the three ultimate moves of street thugs in a fight.

How could Kazama Yoru be caught off guard? He whispered a sentence in her ear, laughed loudly, and leaped up, covering five or six zhang in a flash. With another leap, he was far away from the embankment and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"? @ # % & *~_ ) $..." Zhu Huihui cursed at his retreating figure. Damn it! That guy might really be a turtle in disguise; otherwise, how could a person walk on the lake and escape by stepping on their own rear?

"Grey, how are you? Where are you hurt?"

Feng Xuese's urgent voice rang in his ears. He was always calm and composed no matter what enemy he encountered, but now, his heart was inexplicably panicked—Feng Xuese's sudden attack had been like lightning, and he hadn't expected this person to suddenly attack Zhu Huihui. By the time he was about to come to the rescue, Feng Jianye had already succeeded!

Zhu Huihui felt the warmth in his hand, lowered her head slightly, and stared at her hand held in his palm. She was a little lost in thought. After a moment of surprise, she said aggrievedly, "That xxx pinched my face! It's not hurt, but it hurts a lot!"

She pressed her cheek with one hand, cursing inwardly, "Damn it! That xxx, how dare she pinch my face so hard, and then she even dared to threaten me before leaving, saying something like, 'You'll settle scores with me later!' Pah! Settle scores my ass! Can't I just avoid you from now on?"

Pshaw! Besides, how long has she even settled the score with those bastards in black? They'll just kill her whenever they see her anyway, so what difference does it make if one more person tries to kill her?

Hearing that she wasn't injured, Feng Xuese breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" He raised one hand and gently rubbed her round cheek. The gesture was so intimate and natural that Zhu Huihui couldn't help but look up at him.

In the darkness, his face was somewhat hazy, and the contours of his face were softened, his eyes as warm as the rippling waters of spring.

Zhu Huihui suddenly felt her face flush and her heart race. Knowing he couldn't see her, but afraid he would hear her unsteady heartbeat, she quickly coughed and said, "Great...Great hero, you...you're not injured, are you?"

"I'm fine," Feng Xuese said gently.

Zhu Huihui looked back into the distance. At the end of the long dike, where Xuan Yue Water Island was located, flames were raging into the sky, turning the dark sky into a golden-red blaze.

Actually, the fire had been burning for a long time. She hadn't even taken a dozen steps after meeting Chen Muwan when she saw flames shooting up from the direction of the manor. But when she had just left Xuan Yue Water Island, the fire hadn't even started yet.

A very bad feeling crept into her heart—could there still be enemies on Xuan Yue Water Island? Could Steward Qin and the others handle it?

Although she was worried, she also knew that the black-clad turtle who pinched her cheek was the hero's formidable enemy, and she was afraid of distracting him, so she had been holding back and not saying anything—which was also why she had agreed earlier that the hero and the black-clad turtle should settle their score later.

Moreover, she knew that Feng Xuese had poor eyesight and relied on his hearing to make decisions, so no matter what—even if the turtle pinched her face, she wouldn't make a fuss or make any noise that might interfere with his judgment.

Feng Xuese understood her good intentions, even though he couldn't see them. His heart was brighter than anything else.

Holding those soft, slender hands, his heart felt at ease and joyful. The toil and worry of the past month, and the anxiety caused by his poor eyesight, all seemed to fade away. In fact, when he fought Kazama Yoru just now, the moment he heard her chaotic footsteps, his heart strangely calmed down. Was it because his "runaway eyes" had finally returned home after wandering around outside enough?

"...Mentioning that shameless little girl, and then feeling so deeply for her..." Suddenly remembering what Kazama Yoru had said, Feng Xuese was momentarily stunned. His usually cold and wise heart was suddenly in turmoil. He couldn't understand the source of this chaotic emotion; he only felt that the child was back by his side, and he was happier than anyone else. He didn't know when this feeling had arisen; he only knew that after she left, he had gradually come to realize her importance in his heart...

The incessant rain had stopped sometime ago. The thick clouds had also been blown away, revealing a deep blue sky and countless stars.

"I have something very, very, very important to tell you!" Zhu Huihui said. "Do you want to hear what I have to say first, or do you want to go back to 'Qushuixing' to put out the fire?" Actually, she already knew that the villa was called "Xuanyue Shuiyu", but she just couldn't stop saying it.

Feng Xuese was shocked: "What? Xuan Yue Water Island is on fire?"

"Yes! It's been burning for half a day!" Zhu Huihui looked at the spot where the fire started. "Although it's raining today, the wind is very strong. I guess the villa is almost completely burned down!"

"You should have told me what you were going to do sooner!"

Zhu Huihui said matter-of-factly, "You didn't ask!"

"you--"
