Бездомная собака в моих мыслях

Глава 29

Climbing back two more steps: "Beautiful sister, you're so arrogant!"

"..."

She crawled right up to him and said, "Beautiful sister, are you unable to move?" Could it be that she had been hit by the legendary acupoint technique?

"..."

Haha, it seems this demon is truly unable to move! A wicked thought suddenly arose in Zhu Huihui's mind: "Beautiful sister, I'm here to save you!" He stretched out his claws and reached into the snake envoy's arms.

"Mmm...so soft!" He pinched the snake-like creature's chest hard twice, teasing it playfully, then chuckled mischievously and started rummaging through the things. "What's in this little green bottle? Ah, it's Five Poisons Water, perfect for repelling mosquitoes in the summer! Is this bag filled with jasmine powder? It smells nice, but my mother says if you put this on your face, it'll make your face rot! This box probably contains toad fat, it's useless, and you can't use it on your hands, it seeps into the skin and can kill you if it gets into your bloodstream..."

He picked it up, looked at it, and unceremoniously stuffed it into his waist bag.

Although the snake envoy could not move, he was still conscious. Seeing his treasure being taken away by this lecherous brat and worthless, he was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted!

Zhu Huihui searched her thoroughly twice, leaving her with not a single copper coin, and even taking away her earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry. Seeing that there was nothing more to be gained from this woman, he regretfully pinched her cheek and said, "Goodbye, beautiful sister!"

He kicked the snake off the bridge!

The eleven Zodiac Envoys who were fighting on the peak were all furious, none of them expecting that this kid would suddenly resort to poison.

After the Serpent Envoy was acupunctured and thrown onto the bridge, they had been trying to rush over to rescue him, but Feng Xuese blocked their way in front of the pier. His sword shadows were dazzling amidst the snow, and no one could break through his defenses.

Seeing the little lecher groping the snake envoy's clothes, the companions became even more enraged and fought even harder. But who knew that in the blink of an eye, the boy kicked the snake envoy off the bridge. Seeing that he would not survive the fall, the eleven zodiac envoys were so excited that they rushed up without regard for their own lives.

Maple Snow was also taken aback by Vermilion Gray.

He was known for his chivalry and rarely killed unless the victim was a heinous criminal. Therefore, although the Twelve Zodiac Envoys ambushed him, he showed mercy until the reason was clear, intending only to force them to back down, and never actually took anyone's life. He initially immobilized the Snake Envoy's pressure points, firstly because this woman always indiscriminately released poison, making her very troublesome to deal with; secondly, he wanted to capture a hostage to facilitate negotiations with the Twelve Zodiac Envoys.

Unexpectedly, the guy behind them was so ruthless that he took the opportunity to kick the snake envoy off the bridge!

With the death of the Serpent Envoy, Zhu Huihui can forget about having a peaceful life for the rest of his life. The Blood Tower will definitely pursue him relentlessly until he is dead!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The snake envoy was kicked off the bridge, and in extreme terror, even though his acupoints were sealed, a scream still escaped his throat.

The Sky Over the Martial World is Clear, Part Two: Chapter Nine (3)

Feng Xuese was closest to her, her sleeves flowing like clouds as she deflected the attacks of several people. Without hesitation, she leaped downwards, grabbed the snake envoy's hair with a backhand, swung her longsword upwards, cutting into the bottom of the pier, and with a slight push, lifted her up and landed on the pier.

Hearing Zhu Huihui's loud exclamation, he thought that the Eleventh Zodiac Envoy was taking advantage of him, and then he felt a bad wind blowing over his head, with several powerful forces attacking him at the same time.

He was in mid-air with no leverage, and with the snake in his hand, he had nowhere to dodge. He tried his best to move in mid-air, slashing with his longsword to deflect several weapons. However, the enemy outnumbered him, and he was still struck hard in the chest and back at the same time.

Feng Xuese felt his blood surging in his chest, and a mouthful of hot, metallic liquid welled up in his throat. He knew something was wrong, so he forcefully circulated his inner energy to force the blood down, but his body began to fall into the ravine.

He heard Zhu Huihui shouting, "The hero went to save someone, and you guys attacked him from behind! I'll fight you to the death!"

Feng Xuese smiled wryly. He was truly overestimating himself; how could he possibly defeat the Twelve Zodiac Envoys! However, he also felt a slight warmth in his heart. This guy wasn't so bad; he wasn't just a coward who feared death. At least he had some sense of loyalty…

Just then, a gray shadow flew over his head, wrapped around his arm, swung him back, and a strong force pulled him upwards.

Feng Xuese reached mid-air, gathered her inner energy, and with a graceful somersault, darted through the clouds like a swallow, landing softly on the pier. The landing was silent, and the pier did not sway even more.

The crowd on the bridge couldn't help but cheer.

Feng Xuese gently placed the snake envoy she was carrying on the pier, casually releasing her pressure points. Then, smiling, she clasped her hands in thanks to the cheers. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhu Huihui pinned to the wooden planks of the pier, the tall, burly pig envoy sitting on his back like a mountain of flesh. He couldn't move but still struggled. Knowing that the fellow had only suffered a minor torment and was otherwise unharmed, she felt relieved.

Having narrowly escaped death, the snake envoy trembled violently, his teeth chattering. With the help of his companions, he managed to stand up. "Thank you... Young Master Feng for saving me!"

Feng Xuese hurriedly returned the greeting: "Miss She, you're too kind. It was Mr. Long who saved us; I should be thanking him instead!"

He turned around, bowed to the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and said, "I thank you, Mr. Long!"

The boy snorted, his arm twitched slightly, and a thin, gray, soft rope snake-like thing slithered back into his sleeve!

Zhu Huihui's head was pinned to the ground by the pig's big feet, unable to move. He could only desperately roll his eyes to see the boy's fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the blue stubble on his lips and chin. Although he couldn't tell his age, he was definitely not a child. He should be... a dwarf!

Little did he know that the leader of the Twelve Zodiac Envoys was none other than this dwarf-like Dragon Envoy.

The Dragon Envoy wasn't very old, and from a young age, he was well aware of his shortcomings. He practiced martial arts diligently and was quick-witted and taciturn, thus becoming the most skilled and respected among the twelve zodiac animals. Because he couldn't grow taller, he chose a three-zhang-long soft rope as his weapon—which is why he was able to throw down the rope in a moment of crisis and pull Feng Xuese and the Snake Envoy up!

Just moments ago, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, but now, because of this act of mutual assistance, neither of them felt comfortable making another move.

The doctor, dressed as the Sheep Envoy of the Chinese Zodiac, coughed lightly and said, "Young Master Feng, we didn't know you were saving our Sister She, so we accidentally injured you. I am quite fond of medicine, and if you trust me, I can treat your injury."

Feng Xue smiled and said, "Envoy Yang, please don't worry. My minor injury is nothing to worry about. In fact, I should thank you all for your mercy. If you had all gone all out just now, I wouldn't be standing here talking like this now."

His words were neither humble nor arrogant, demonstrating considerable wisdom.

"Minor injury is no big deal" is ostensibly a humble thank you, but it also implies that the skills used by the twelve zodiac animals are not enough to pose a threat to him. However, the following words are full of gratitude, acknowledging that if the other party had gone all out, he would not have been as relaxed as he is now.

Between the suppression and the praise, a clear signal was conveyed: continuing to fight you will not bring any advantage, but if you are willing to stop here, I will not dwell on the past, and I don't even mind turning enemies into friends!

As the saying goes, a bachelor sees things clearly. Everyone here, except for Zhu Huihui who was practically suffocating from being sat on, had no eyelashes; what couldn't they see? After weighing the pros and cons, everyone agreed that today was not a good day for another fight.

Envoy Dragon gave Envoy Sheep a wink, and the latter understood, cupping his hands and saying, "Of course, of course! Young Master Feng, you saved our Sister She today. Logically speaking, even if the Twelve Zodiac Envoys are ungrateful, they shouldn't keep bothering you. But we at Bloodseeker's Pavilion have an ironclad rule: once we take someone's money, we have to do their bidding. So even if we offend you, we have no choice but to do it!"

Feng Xue smiled and said, "Keeping one's word is only natural, Envoy Yang, there's no need to be so polite!"

“Young Master Feng, personally speaking, I really wish to be your friend! Unfortunately, I am no longer a free man…” Envoy Yang bowed to Feng Xuese and said, “Then, let’s part for now, and see you later! Young Master Feng, farewell!” The other Zodiac Envoys were very grateful to Feng Xuese for saving their people, and they all clasped their fists and bowed to Feng Xuese.

Feng Xuese hurriedly returned the greeting, laughing, "Friends are friends, business is business. Next time we meet, if I, Feng, am lucky enough to survive, I'll invite you all for a few drinks!"

The pig envoy, with a large knife slung over his shoulder, muttered, "How about we have a drinking contest next time and see who gets drunk first!"

He sat on Zhu Huihui's back, his plump bottom stomping twice before he stood up and joined the Twelve Zodiac Envoys.
