Chapter 349: Where Is the Lair

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“It’s Brother Fu Zheng’s bad father.” At that point, she was very afraid. Before she could react, her mouth and nose were covered and she fainted. Now, when she recalled that incident, she still felt very afraid!

Fu Jun!

Su Ying’s icy eyes narrowed slightly and the killing intent burst out from them.

After Ling was full, Aunt Zhao brought her away to wash up. Ji, however, did not leave for a long time. Instead, he came up to Su Ying and knelt down in front of her.

Su Ying looked at him in surprise. “What’s wrong?”

Ji pursed his lips and looked at Su Ying as he said, “Mother, I didn’t protect my younger sister well. Please punish me.”

Su Ying frowned slightly and didn’t say anything.

“Father told me and Younger Sister not to leave his sight, but when Younger Sister went to the outhouse, I didn’t tell Father immediately, causing Younger Sister to land in danger.”

Su Ying looked at Ji’s tender tiny face. They were only five-year-old children.

Su Ying didn’t want them to face the darkest and bloodiest things in the world so early. She didn’t want them to grow up like her, who had only experienced brutal slaughter throughout her childhood. However, Ling’s abduction had shaken her confidence in her own thinking.

Perhaps some people were destined to be extraordinary from birth, so what they had to experience was destined to be different from ordinary people.

Nonetheless, Su Ying still didn’t want them to lose the innocence and happiness they deserved.

“From tomorrow onward, Mother will increase the intensity of the training for you two. Ji, as the older brother, Mother forgives you for not telling Father this time, but don’t let this happen again.”

The older toddler Ji nodded solemnly. “1 understand. I will definitely train hard to protect Younger Sister. When I grow up, I will protect Father and Mother.”

Su Ying patted his little head. “Good.”

The martial arts skills the children practiced were different from those practiced by adults. Su Ying still insisted on not letting them learn killing techniques right now. Previously, she had only let them practice basic skills to lay a foundation for their future martial arts. Moreover, they were still so young. Even if they learned some moves, they would still be at a disadvantage when fighting against adults.

Su Ying wanted to see if there were any weapons that could be integrated into their moves. At the very least, they could defend themselves.

After Ji followed Bai Shuang and the others to rest, Su Ying summoned Wang Su.

“Your Highness, what are your orders?”

“Send someone to find out where the Red Demon Sect’s lair is.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I don’t know where their headquarters is, but I know where their branch is.”

“Where?”

“In the city’s Fireworks Alley, Misty Willow Pavilion.”

“Alright.”

As the night deepened, there were no longer any pedestrians on the streets of the city.

However, on a street in the west of the city, it was so lively that it stood out in sharp contrast to other places.

The gorgeously dressed girls waved their handkerchiefs and their faces were painted with thick rouge to attract the passing men.

“Mister, come and play. We have the most beautiful girls here. We guarantee that you will be satisfied.”

“Come in, Young Master. I will offer you excellent companionship.”

After the brothel madame ushered the guests in, she saw a figure standing outside the entrance from the corner of her eye.

The brothel madame sized her up and went forward with a smile. “Madam, are you here to have fun?”

Su Ying glanced at her indifferently and suddenly reached out to grab her neck. “Are the people from the Red Demon Sect inside?”

The brothel madame was shocked and struggled to shout.

When they saw this, the thugs outside the entrance rushed over and surrounded Su Ying.

“What are you doing? Let her go at once. This is not a place where you can act so impudently!”

Su Ying raised her eyelids and looked straight into the brothel madame’s eyes. “I’ll ask again. Where are the people from the Red Demon Sect?”

The brothel madame’s eye whites began showing. “In… insi… inside…”

When the thugs saw this, all of them pounced on Su Ying.

Su Ying flung the brothel madame violently at the thugs who came charging at her.

The people in the building rushed out when they heard the commotion.

Su Ying took out two electric batons and waved them in the darkness, producing sparks of electricity. Then, she struck the thugs.

“Argh!”

For a while, screams rose and fell outside the entrance.

Boom! With a thunderous commotion, a few thugs were smashed into the hall, causing the people inside to scream in fear.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes swept icily across the faces of those people. “I’m looking for Red Demon’s people. Those who have nothing to do with them and don’t want to die, get lost at once.”

“Argh!”

Everyone in the hall screamed and fled in fear.

Soon, the building was empty.

Su Ying’s gaze slowly swept across the private room on the second floor.

A red figure appeared in the corridor on the second floor.

“Princess Consort Qi truly lives up to her reputation. Why isn’t Prince Qi here? Looks like he’s injured quite badly.”

Chu Mo looked at Su Ying with an ambiguous expression. The long whip in his hand was already ready to launch into action.

Su Ying’s eyes narrowed. “You are the one who injured Xiao Jin.”

Chu Mo shrugged his shoulders. “It’s such a rare honor. It’s indeed me. Let me receive Princess Consort Qi today.”

The red robe on Chu Mo flared out and the long whip in his hand whistled as he swung it accurately at Su Ying’s vital points.

Su Ying kicked the table beside her to block the strike.

Pow!

The table instantly shattered into pieces.

After missing his first strike, Chu Mo followed up with another attack, lashing his long whip at Su Ying.

Su Ying dodged to the side and swung out the electric baton in her hand to wrap around Chu Mo’s whip.

The whip was covered with iron spikes. Su Ying increased the current of the electric baton and it gave Chu Mo an electric shock that caused his arm to go numb.

Chu Mo got a fright. He spun rapidly in the air and slammed his hand on the wooden table before he managed to fling the long whip away.

Su Ying tossed the long whip aside and swung the electric baton at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo realized the formidable power of the electric baton and quickly dodged. However, Su Ying still managed to hit him on the shoulder, and in an instant, his entire body went numb from the electric shock.

Su Ying withdrew her electric baton and directed a kick to his chest.

“Pfft!”

Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

The thugs in the building rushed over quickly.

The electric baton in Su Ying’s hand was pressed against Chu Mo’s chest.

“If you want me to pierce his heart, then, by all means, come near me.”

Sure enough, those thugs did not dare to move anymore.

Chu Mo glared icily at Su Ying.

“Speak. Who paid you guys?”

Chu Mo simply laughed disdainfully. “We only do things for money. It’s good enough as long as they paid the silver. We don’t care about the identity of the employer.”

Su Ying stepped on his eyes directly. “I’ll ask you one more time. Who paid you guys?”

“No… Argh!”

Crack!

Su Ying took a step back and stomped and Chu Mo’s leg bone instantly broke.

“It’s… it’s a… a eunuch! It’s a eunuch!” Chu Mo said through gritted his teeth.

Su Ying paused her actions momentarily.

“They paid 20,000 taels of silver and said they wanted to pay us to take your life and Prince Qi’s life. Other than that, we don’t know anything else! We don’t know!”

Su Ying raised her foot and was about to break his neck with another stomp when a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in and surrounded Su Ying.

“Princess Consort Qi, someone reported to the government office that you were causing trouble and even injured someone. Please come with us to the Capital Governor’s Office, Princess Consort Qi.”

Su Ying raised her icy eyes slightly and lifted Chu Mo up from the ground. “I only beat those who deserve to be beaten up. Now, I want you to repeat what you said just now. Who paid you 20,000 taels of silver to assassinate me and His Highness Prince Qi?”

Chu Mo looked at the soldiers and said through gritted teeth. “I don’t know what Her Highness means by this. She came here to cause trouble for no reason, so I hope the officer will help us..”
