Chapter 19: My Hero Arrived Riding on Rainbow-Colored Clouds!
“What the hell are you all doing?”
Just as the thugs at the scene were beginning to get swept up in the atmosphere, a rough shout from the alley entrance shattered the mood.
A middle-aged man with a wolf's head tattooed on his arm strode into the alley, surrounded by a crowd of hoodlums.
It was none other than Wu Laolang, the leader of another major underground force in Yuncheng.
“There are only three of them, and all of you are just standing there watching? Waiting for them to have a baby?” Wu Laolang roared at his men. “The order came down from above! Dead or alive, Su Yixue must be taken today. Get moving!”
With that, Wu Laolang snatched a broadsword from one of his lackeys and charged toward Zhao Datou.
Seeing their boss personally joining the fight, Wu Laolang's men didn't dare hesitate. They all rushed forward in a swarm.
“Kill!”
Though Zhao Datou fought fiercely, there were only three of them.
In less than two exchanges, they were overwhelmed and beaten to the ground by the crowd.
Meanwhile, Su Yixue had already been completely surrounded by the thugs.
Wu Laolang stared at her like a predator eyeing its prey.
“They all say Miss Su is the number one beauty in Yuncheng. What a pity she'll end up wasted on that fool! How about this, Miss Su—spend one night with me, and I'll make sure you get a quick death. What do you say?”
There wasn't the slightest attempt to hide the greed in Wu Laolang's eyes.
Normally, a stunning woman like Su Yixue was someone he wouldn't even dare dream about.
But this time, the orders from above were crystal clear. Killing Su Yixue, humiliating her, torturing her—it would all count as a great achievement. Naturally, Wu Laolang had no reservations.
“D-Don't come any closer...” Su Yixue picked up a broadsword from the ground and held it across her body. “Don't even think about laying a finger on me. Even if I die, I won't let you have your way!”
After her intimate contact with Ye Fan yesterday, Su Yixue could clearly feel warm currents flowing through her body, filling her with strength. She had even begun to sense traces of martial aura within herself.
Holding the broadsword now, she felt no fear at all.
“You little brat, and you're still putting on a brave face at a time like this...”
One of Wu Laolang's lackeys couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward first, eager to earn merit.
But the moment he got close, Su Yixue flicked her wrist, and the broadsword slashed straight toward his hand.
Slash!
The thug didn't react in time.
In an instant, his arm was severed clean off.
Hiss!
Everyone present froze in shock.
The intelligence hadn't said Su Yixue knew martial arts!
Yet the movements she displayed now were smooth and practiced. One look was enough to tell she had training.
What was going on?
Even Su Yixue herself was stunned.
The way she had swung the sword just now had felt almost instinctive.
Since when did she know martial arts?
In a flash, she remembered the warm currents that had flowed into her from Ye Fan during their recent close contact.
Could those warm currents really have caused this?
Ye Fan truly was a monstrous genius.
Even though his intelligence had been affected, just the warm currents produced through intimate contact possessed such miraculous power?
The despair in Su Yixue's heart eased, replaced by a bit of confidence.
If she could just hold out for a few more minutes...
Maybe a miracle would happen.
If Ye Fan had really been pretending to be foolish...
If he knew she was in danger...
Would he come save her?
Would he arrive riding on rainbow-colored clouds?
Would her hero come?
As she imagined the scene, she couldn't help smiling.
When she'd been fleeing earlier, she hadn't had any chance to notify anyone.
How could Ye Fan possibly know what had happened to her?
Su Yixue's sudden burst of strength only made the thugs hesitate briefly.
But a few seconds later, Wu Laolang completely lost his patience.
“Brothers, stop hesitating! Kill her now before anything else happens!”
The fact that Su Yixue knew martial arts was a very bad sign.
The longer they delayed, the greater the chance of unexpected complications.
No matter what, they had to complete the mission first.
The crowd charged again.
Though Su Yixue instinctively swung her broadsword to fend them off for a while, she lacked experience, and there were simply too many enemies.
Clang!
The broadsword was knocked from her hands.
Now she was completely unarmed.
Above her head, countless gleaming blades descended without hesitation, slashing toward her.
The order from above was simple:
Kill Su Yixue.
Make an example of her.
At this moment, Wu Laolang and the others had only one thought.
Kill her.
“Goodbye... Xiao Fan...” Su Yixue closed her eyes in despair. Thinking of the happiness they had shared the previous night, she sighed inwardly. “If there's another life... I'll be your wife again... You must... take good care...”
“Wife! Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!”
In her daze, Su Yixue suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Ye Fan?
Was she imagining things?
Had Ye Fan really come at this moment?
Vroom! Vroom!
While everyone was still wondering where the sound had come from, a motorcycle roared into the alley.
Apparently annoyed that the crowd was blocking the way, the motorcycle suddenly lifted its front wheel and shot sideways over the alley wall.
The one who had arrived was none other than Ye Fan, rushing over at full speed.
Riding the motorcycle, Ye Fan fixed his blazing gaze on Su Yixue amid the flashing blades.
His eyes burned with fury...
Yet were also filled with tenderness.
It really was Ye Fan.
Her peerless hero...
At her most desperate moment...
He had truly come riding on rainbow-colored clouds to save her.
The instant Su Yixue recognized him, color returned to her lifeless eyes.
Even if she died now...
She would have no regrets.
Though Ye Fan might still be mentally impaired...
His feelings were genuine.
Everything she had done...
Had been worth it.
Ye Fan twisted the throttle to its limit.
In that instant, everything in the alley seemed to slow down.
He no longer cared about hiding his abilities.
His movements reached unbelievable speed.
Just as the motorcycle reached Su Yixue, Ye Fan kicked off the ground.
The instant the bike landed, it spun in a full three-hundred-sixty-degree drift, sweeping all the thugs surrounding Su Yixue flying.
The gleaming blades had already sliced off several strands of Su Yixue's hair.
But in the final instant—
Less than a millimeter from her skin—
They were all knocked away.
Ye Fan descended from above like a heavenly god, pulling Su Yixue tightly into his embrace.
“Yixue, my wife! You scared me to death! It's so good you're okay! So good!”
Seeing Ye Fan like this, Su Yixue was completely stunned.
This...
This was the true peerless genius.
This was the last spark of the Ye family that they had all sworn to protect.
“Xiao Fan... you've awakened, haven't you?” Recovering from her shock, Su Yixue cupped Ye Fan's face with delight and shook him vigorously.
If Ye Fan had truly awakened...
Then the Ye family could still be saved.
And all the sisters' years of protection would finally have hope...
