Chapter 257 Dual Personality

“Just look at Princess Yu! I’ve never liked beautiful women, they have no brains!”

Once he finished his sentence, Xin Li crushed the Rosa Multiflora in his hand into a million pieces.

The blood-red petals fell to the ground in shreds. Suddenly, the pair of hands covered in petal juice reached for Lin Mengya.

“Protect her.”

Qinghu then shoved Lin Mengya forcefully into Baisu’s embrace. He fearlessly went up with his sword.

“Watch out!”

The guards who were hiding near them all charged out immediately. They surrounded themselves around Lin Mengya and formed layers of protection. At the same time, they were dressed in black suits. Xin Li’s team also charged out.

“Why are you risking your lives to fight me over a woman?”

After a few moves, Qinghu and Xin Li separated instantly. Xin Li’s face remained cold as he stared at Qinghu, who was in front of him. This dockmaster of Peach Blossom Dock! Right now, his hands were numb from the shock.

“No wonder Dajin, that useless sh*t, still could not eliminate Lin Mengya after so many attempts. Indeed, this is a tricky situation.”

“If you dare to harm her, I will kill you.”

Qinghu held onto his sword and a cold smile hung from the corners of his lips.

As long as he was alive, he would not allow anyone to hurt her!

“Wow, I didn’t expect her to be so important to you. But, you aren’t really a man, are you? I heard that back then you were…”

Without holding back, he triggered Qinghu by mentioning his dark past. But surprisingly, it was a useless tactic. On the contrary, Qinghu’s gaze became increasingly scornful.

“You sissy, how dare you have the nerve to talk about me! Go die!”

The two became entangled very quickly under the falling snow. Their sword moves were fast, each counter between the two would create a layer full of bloody mist. For those whose martial arts skills were not as good as theirs, it was a massacre.

Soon after, several guards from Qinghu’s team died. Those who were lucky to be alive were all injured. Of course, Xin Li’s team was not better.

These people were entangled with each other. They would never let go of their enemies, even when they died.

“Lin family’s guards, leave now, forget about me!”

Lin Mengya screamed suddenly. The Lin family’s guards were all heroes on the battleground. She could not let these people die in vain for her.

However, the guards would not leave. Lin Mengya could only follow Baisu helplessly and crouch down within the shrinking circle of guards.

“Master, if you can’t take it anymore, then leave quickly on your own. I have an idea to deter Xin Li.”

Baisu’s face was full of a look of determination.

Lin Mengya knew that the idea she was talking about would definitely end up with both sides being heavily injured. It might even be that lives would be exchanged.

She could not let Baisu say such things, yet she saw Baisu swiftly harvesting the five jade cards that were hanging.

“Xin Li! I’m going all-in with you! Return me my master!”

Baisu charged out of the protective circle when Lin Mengya was not paying attention. Holding onto a long sword, she was ready to fight Xin Li with her life.

“Come back! You’re not his match!”

Lin Mengya’s heart was burning with anxiety, yet there was no way to pull Baisu back. “This silly girl, does she really think that Xin Li will let us go if she goes up to sacrifice her life?”

After joining the chaotic fight, Baisu partnered with Qinghu and gradually suppressed Xin Li.

Meanwhile, on Lin Mengya’s side, the protective circle became stronger despite it shrinking. Soon after, the men in black could not break through them at all.

After calculating the time, it seemed like the backup from Prince Yu’s Mansion should be here anytime soon. The Lin family’s guards were definitely the smartest and most quick-minded out of all the guards.

He must have sent some back right from the start to fetch help.

When either one of the Lin family’s or Prince Yu’s Mansion’s guards arrived, Xin Li would have to leave no matter what.

Unexpectedly, just after she finished her calculations, she heard a pitiful cry of pain, which caused her heart to fall instantly.

Just earlier, Baisu had a slight advantage, yet due to a moment of carelessness, Xin Li grabbed her by the throat and turned her into a hostage.

Meanwhile, there was no way Qinghu, who wanted to attack but was afraid of triggering Xin Li, could disregard Baisu’s life completely. Hence, he pierced his poisoned nails into Xin Li’s chest.

“Go to hell!”

Xin Li’s face was full of struggles. Although he failed to dig out Qinhu’s heart, the poison had already contaminated Qinghu’s wound.

However, he was shocked to see that Qinghu’s face became paler by just a shade and he did not fall.

“What a strong poison, but this thing is useless on me!”

When the poisoned seeped into Qinghu’s body, it did cause some obstruction to his vital energy. He had grown up eating poison, so this little bit would not be enough to kill him.

However, he also needed some time to recover. Both of them then stood frozen like that for a while.

“Qinghu! Baisu!”

Lin Mengya barged through the circle of protection and appeared in front of Qinghu in a few steps.

In her mind, the name of the poison flickered fervently. Her heart had already reached her throat. “Will this poison cause the remaining poison in Qinghu’s body to counterattack?”

“Silly girl, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”

The fervent toxic in Qinghu’s body brought him great discomfort. The sword in his hand supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

However, Xin Li did not gain any advantage out of this.

“Hmph! You’re so persistent! Lin Mengya, I know that you care about this little brat. If you want this little brat to live, then ask that guy to exchange it with the heads from the Dragon Pavilion. I will only let this little brat go when everyone from the Dragon Pavilion is killed!”

Although Xin Li was panting, his tone was full of pride.

Right now, he had something on them. He was not worried that Lin Mengya would disobey him. Those scumbags from the Dragon Pavilion must die!

“No way! Master, it’s all right if you let me die. You must protect young Master!”

Baisu was very firm. She said a big bunch of words that Lin Mengya did not understand. Xin Li’s facial expression changed slightly, and in that instant, he was about to strangle Baisu to death.

“No!”

Lin Mengya pounced on him immediately. The dagger that had never left her body was finally put into use.

No one would have expected Lin Mengya to be so fast in her actions. When Baisu was just a breath away from dying, Lin Mengya’s dagger hit right on the spot on Xin Li’s arm.

“Ah!”

Xin Li let out a cry of pain immediately. He also did not expect this woman who seemed so weak to attack him with such a sharp dagger.

“How dare you hurt me!”

The furious Xin Li threw Baisu aside as if she were a rag doll.

Meanwhile, Lin Mengya forcefully pulled out the dagger and stared straight into Xin Li’s eyes fearlessly.

“Hurt you? I even want to kill you!”

The spot that she had chosen was very clever. In a split second, not only did she puncture his vein but also triggered the nerve that was giving him the most pain.

Anyone that experienced such intense pain would definitely not be able to flinch. Even Xin Li, who was a master of martial arts, felt as if his heart had been torn apart.

“You!”

The veins on his face popped out. That originally white and flawless skin became like a turtles’ shell instantly; it was covered with lines.

“Master, quickly dodge out of the way! He, he will kill you!”

Baisu was crawling on the ground and her mouth was already filled with fresh blood.

Yet at this moment, she still did not forget to warn Lim Mengya. She knew much more about Xin Li’s situation than any others. If they were to force Xin Li to this extent and yet still failed to kill him once and for all…

Then everyone would die!

“Since young, there has been no one that could cause him so much pain.”

The crack on Xin Li’s face froze suddenly. A slightly feminine voice was heard, causing Lin Mengya to pause. Although Xin Li was still Xin Li, she could feel that the person in front of her eyes was completely different from the Xin Li she knew.

“Dual personality?”

Lin Mengya suddenly had an urge to diss him.

“Why must all the pervert BOSSes in novels have stupid things like dual personalities!”

At that instant, she did not feel that good.

Although dual personalities had already been recognized in the psychological realm, she never expected to encounter one.

“I know that you’re not him. Then who are you?”

Lin Mengya looked at Xin Li cautiously. Although this personality seemed much gentler, that cruel and blood-thirsty madness seemed to be kept in the bones.

“You’re quite smart. It makes sense for him to be hurt by you then. I’m Xin Qing, his younger sister. Since you’ve forced me to come out, then make up for it with your life.”

Xin Qing was still smiling, yet that face full of cracks was as terrifying as a ghost’s.

Lin Mengya became alarmed immediately and took a few steps back. Meanwhile, Xin Qing continued to stand there. She smiled and made no moves.

“Go now! Quick!”

However, as if she just witnessed a strange scene, Baisu tried to pick herself up from the ground persistently. But Lin Mengya would not leave, just like the rest.

Xin Qing suddenly burst into a peal of cold laughter and took out a small golden bell from her embrace.

“My little sweethearts, time to eat!”

The bell shook, yet no sound was made. However, hissing sounds were heard from all around her.

Lin Mengya could not be more familiar with this. After using bugs to attack someone, she had never expected that it would be her turn now.

“Master, go now! These bugs are not just regular poisonous ones. These are aphids that belong to the Xin family, and they are pervasive!”

There was already a slight look of despair evident in Baisu’s eyes.

These aphids were different from regular poisonous bugs. Once bitten, there was no cure.

Besides, the Xin family’s aphids were trained to harm people. How would there be a cure?

Even their own family members could only wait to die upon being bitten.

She did not expect that she would die in the hands of a Xin.

“Playing with bugs? Xin Qing, you’ve picked the wrong person!”

No one expected to see Lin Mengya being so calm.

A slight smirk formed at the corners of her lips, and she also took out a small box from her embrace.
