Chapter 5050 — I'll Help
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Miss Leng, oh, Miss Leng, I thought that after all these days you'd have come to your senses at least a little. Why are you still so stubborn? Surely the lesson last time wasn't enough—being wounded by my Universe Arrow can't have felt good, can it?" Sun Baimei wore the look of a man who had everything in hand. He sneered. "Last time you escaped because I was tenderhearted toward a beauty. But that sort of thing can't happen twice. Even if I were tenderhearted again, I couldn't let you go—and even if I agreed, Brother Fei wouldn't."
"Brother Sun, since she refuses to submit to you no matter what, why waste more words on her? If you ask me, we may as well just get it over with, so she can't stall for time and drag things out." Fei Yangsheng frowned.
Many skilled hands had come out to temper themselves in the secular world this time, and he and Sun Baimei were hardly the only ones active nearby. If others were drawn over too, that would only breed complications, and the two of them might not be the ones left standing in the end.
"You see? Compared to Brother Fei, aren't I already very reasonable?" Sun Baimei spread his hands with feigned amiability and began to issue his final ultimatum. "Miss Leng, this is your last chance. Hand over the item and you live. Otherwise you can only report to the underworld—though of course the item will end up in my hands in the end, it'll just cost me the extra trouble of searching your body. So why not think it over again?"
"Hmph. Even if I die, I will never give it to you. At worst I'll destroy it with my own hands—and then no one will have it!" Leng Leng had already steeled herself to fight to the bitter end.
"Haha, Miss Leng, that line might fool a child, but using it on me is a bit of self-deception, isn't it? That thing is a treasure beyond price—how could it be destroyed just by saying so? In the time it took you to destroy it, I'd have killed you ten or eight times over. Since you're so blind to the way things are, I have nothing more to say. What a pity, though—such a fine icy beauty, reduced to a sieve full of holes by my Universe Arrow. Truly a waste of heaven's bounty!" As Sun Baimei spoke, he made ready to strike.
Though Leng Leng had been prepared since a moment ago, when the moment truly came she was still somewhat flustered. If she died, she died; but she feared disturbing Wei Zhao next door. Once the fight started, it would not be quiet. What if Wei Zhao, out of kindness, came to help?
Even if Wei Zhao did not come knocking, at such close range he could easily be caught in the crossfire and killed by mistake. Would that not mean she had killed Wei Zhao herself?
He was plainly just an "ordinary man" of the secular world, yet before she knew it he had come to occupy no light place in her heart, and whatever the matter, she thought of him first without realizing it. It was only a pity that Leng Leng had noticed all this too late.
Just then Fei Yangsheng suddenly spoke. "If Brother Sun doesn't mind, before you kill her, why not let your brother vent a little first? One rarely meets such a peerless beauty—we can't let that enchanting figure go to waste, can we? After all the days I've watched the sect disciples fawn over her, I've been craving her for a long time myself!"
"Oh? Since Brother Sun has such refined tastes, then she's yours. The item comes to me—there are plenty of women, after all." Sun Baimei said indifferently.
"Shameless beasts!" Leng Leng trembled with rage. Hearing those words, she wished she could fight the two of them to the death on the spot. But for Wei Zhao's sake she forced herself to keep some shred of reason, and said in a low voice, "This is a residential district of the secular world. If we're going to fight, go somewhere outside where there's no one. Otherwise at least half the people in this compound will die. And if this really blows up, it won't do either of you any good, will it?"
