Chapter 256: I failed

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Lin Qiao detected Yang Jianhua’s thoughts from his expression. Apart from that, she had also sensed some of his mental activity as she was pretty close to him at the moment. Based on these, Lin Qiao knew that he had believed her words completely!

“Isn’t two days a long time? How do you define ‘a long time’ then? You don’t look like a good man. Are my preys your enemies?” She said. While speaking, she walked toward the group of man and raised her head to sniff at them while showing an expression of intoxication.

It did smell good, the scents of living human beings.

Seeing the look on Lin Qiao’s face, Yang Jianhua and his people surely understood her meaning: she was seeing them as food. However, no one saw the wisp of dark mist that Lin Qiao released earlier drill into the soldier’s ear, after which, the soldier froze.

His eyes dimmed, and pupils expanded.

Thud!

People turned to the source of this noise and saw another dead body on the floor. The head of that body was disappearing.

These people glanced at each other, then carefully turned to Lin Qiao.

That dead soldier had just shot her!

Lin Qiao nodded and said frankly, “Yeah, this man attacked me just now. For the ones who attack me, of course, I’ll eat them.”

While speaking, she looked at those people in the eyes. As she had expected, those people lowered their heads to avoid making eye-contact, or stepped backward with fear, worrying that Lin Qiao might fix her eyes on them.

Then, Lin Qiao looked at Yang Jianhua in the eyes and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet. Do you think I have lots of time to chat with you?”

Being stared at by her, Yang Jianhua felt a coldness from his entire body. He came back to his senses and responded, “Eh, not exactly enemies. It’s just…they betrayed our base, and escaped. To prevent them from leaking the secrets about our base, I want to bring them all back to the base or kill them.”

Lin Qiao sneered at him and said, “You think I know nothing about the things happening out there? Those people ran all the way here from the Hades Base in the South. Many of them might have died or got injured in the journey. As for Hades Base, I know it was attacked and broken by other bases. Now, I guess it’s either destroyed or under new ownership.”

Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, a thin layer of sweat oozed out of Yang Jianhua’s forehead. He smiled and said, “Eh, I didn’t know that you cared about this stuff. Yeah, they’re from Hades Base.”

“They escaped, no big deal!” said Lin Qiao, “They’re just the remnants of a defeated army. Alright, you can go now. Do you need me to give you a lift?”

When finishing her speech, she glanced at the door and slightly turned her finger. Following her move, a stream of black mist was released toward a few soldiers who were loyal to Yang Jianhua.

“Ah…eh…” the few soldiers saw the dark mist that Lin Qiao released. However, before they could react, the thin streams of mist flew at them and disappeared before their eyes.

After that, they all suffered a great pain from their ears and brains.

Before long, they fell to the ground, without being able to even utter a scream. After watching these soldiers fall, the rest of the people found that the one who was killed by the dark mist earlier now only had his feet remaining; the rest of his body was gone.

“Alright, we’ll leave now!” Yang Jianhua walked outside right away, and the others followed behind him. Lin Qiao remained standing, watching the few corpses on the ground slowly disappear.

As Yang Jianhua left, she sighed with relief.

‘Damn, I’ve performed a great show!’ She said to herself. She was going to get some useful information from Yang Jianhua, yet that sneaky man didn’t let her.

Lin Qiao understood that if she ever started a fight against Yang Jianhua, merely his ice would give her a hard time.

With a sullen look in her eyes, she watched her dark mist cover the few piles of ice pieces. The mist had lingered on the ice pieces for quite a while, yet the ice melted very slowly.

Right at that moment, she suddenly sensed a sharp coldness from behind her. She swiftly turned and nimbly flipped toward the wall nearby. Next, she thrust her legs against the wall and leaped onto the guardrail before the window of the living room. As she turned around, she saw that the door which Yang Jianhua and his people walked out of before was covered in a thick layer of ice. A frosty mist had been releasing from the ice.

“You almost got me! You’re not a zombie!” Yang Jianhua’s cold voice was heard from the door. Following the voice, he walked in from behind the door. His charming eyes were filled with coldness, squinting at Lin Qiao who was by the window.

Lin Qiao chuckled and said, “Well, I failed.”

She leaped off the guardrail, looked at Yang Jianhua and said, “You’ve seen through me, yet you pretended to believe me. I see that you have lots of free time.”

Yang Jianhua smiled faintly and responded, “I was just trying to find out what purpose do you have. Unexpectedly, you only wanted me to go. If you’re really a zombie, how would you let us go just like that?” While speaking, he suddenly raised an arm and swung at Lin Qiao.

A wave of ice swords emerged from the air, flying at Lin Qiao swiftly while covering a wide area. Lin Qiao jumped out of the window, then stepped on the windowsill and climbed up to the roof.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Most of the ice swords stuck on the windowsill and window frame while some flew out of the window and fell to the ground.

Yang Jianhua flashed out of the window as well. As he waved a hand, an ice staircase reached up to the roof from the window. He stepped on the ice stairs, leaping toward the roof.

It was all dark on the roof. Lin Qiao stood on a corner as she said to Yang Jianhua, “As you refuse to just leave, don’t regret.”

Before Yang Jianhua’s ice reached under her feet through the floor, she leaped upward and disappeared. Following a series of cracking noise, the roof was frozen by Yang Jianhua. If Lin Qiao hadn’t leaped up, she would have been frozen as well.

After Lin Qiao vanished, Yang Jianhua stood on the edge of the roof and looked around. Then, he closed his eyes to try to sense her, but detected not even a trace of her vibe.

After opening his eyes, he suddenly moved sideways and raised an arm to release a strong wave of icy mist toward where he was standing. A hazy figure flashed across that area, leaving a large cloud of black mist that was frozen in the air.

Crack…crack…!

The ice which froze the mist fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
