A black shadow flew down the quiet street quickly.

  He panted heavily.

  He kept looking around him.

  He was looking for a hiding place.

  There were no buildings around him where he could hide.

  A bridge could be seen not far away. It lit up the night sky. It looked lonely.

  Sounds came from behind him.

  It was the sound of tires screeching on the ground.

  The person chasing him got nearer.

  A girl stood on a skateboard. She stepped on one end of the skateboard and it stood up. She caught it with her hand.

  It was a handsome move.

  “Not running anymore?”


  Bai Hao held his weapon tightly. He started at the girl. “What do you want?”


  This girl chased him for more than ten kilometers!

  At the villa, this girl suddenly appeared with a water pipe from the garden in her hand. She sprayed water at him.

  Then, she chased after him.

  “You came to my house and shot my windows. Why are you asking what I want? Don’t you think that’s a weird question?”


  Bai Hao answered, “I’m not targeting you.”


  “But you broke my windows.”


  Bai Hao: “.……”

  The wind at night was cold.

  The girl’s voice was cold too.

  “You injured him too.”


  Injured who?

  Bai Hao remembered the person he hurt……

  Before Bai Hao could reply, he saw the girl throwing the skateboard aside. A sword appeared in her hand.

  Bai Hao had a gun so he was not afraid of such weapons.

  “Young lady, if I don’t attack you, it doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of you……”


  Ming Shu rushed toward him. She showed no signs of stopping.

  Bai Hao cursed as he pointed the gun at Ming Shu.

  Bullets shot out.

  The bullet was stopped by the sword. It bounced back.

  Bai Hao narrowed his eyes. He quickly dodged to the side and barely managed to evade the bullet.

  The sword swung down at him. He rolled on the ground. A piece of his clothes was cut.

  He made use of the movement and fired three shots.

  Unfortunately, all three shots didn’t hit Ming Shu. The smell of gunpowder filled the air. Bai Hao looked at his gun in disbelief.

  How could it be……

  The girl looked harmless and weak. She looked as though the wind could blow her away.

  How could she dodge so many bullets?

  A shadow charged toward her.

  Bai Hao’s body reacted instinctively. He jumped up and raised his fists at Ming Shu.

  The two of them started fighting.

  The sword cut him occasionally. It was so painful Bai Hao almost screamed.

  At the start, Bai Hao was still able to fight normally.

  Toward the end, he suddenly felt that he couldn’t release his full potential. It was as if something was holding him back.

  In the end, he could only watch as Ming Shu attacked him with the sword.

  “Why are you learning all the bad things? Why did you run away? How dare you injure my little demon.”


  “Who asked you to learn all these bad habits!”


  Bai Hao: “.……”

  He had never experienced such humiliation ever since he was born!

  He crawled forward painfully. His limbs were heavy as though they were made of metal.

  While they fought, they moved. They were now at the bridge.

  Bai Hao stood near the edge of the bridge and took a deep breath. He fired the last shot.

  While she was evading the bullet, he turned and climbed over the railing.

  He glared at Ming Shu with hatred.

  He would remember this irritating woman!

  Bai Hao’s expression changed. He looked down at his chest. Blood was oozing out. It drenched his clothes.

  Bai Hao lost his strength and fell down.

  Ming Shu raised her sword and made to catch him. However, she failed. She leaned over the rail and shouted, “Don’t die! Hang in there!”


  Ming Shu touched her chin.

  He wouldn’t die so easily, right?

  He was the man that got the closest to overtaking the Apocalypse Pagoda. How could he die so easily?

  Ming Shu felt at ease after thinking about this.

  Ming Shu grabbed her sword and went back to the main road on her skateboard.

  Her bodyguards were waiting for her there.

  “Young Miss.”


  Ming Shu looked like a lady boss from a gang. “I’ll get some pieces of equipment for you all after we get back.”


  At this time, her bodyguards didn’t know what equipment Ming Shu was talking about……

  When Ming Shu returned to the villa, Yi Qiao and Xuan Ge were in the living room.

  Xuan Ge had changed his clothes so Yi Qiao probably didn’t know that he was injured.

  “Young Miss, where did you go?” Yi Qiao walked up to her.

  “I went for a walk,” Ming Shu replied casually. “What are you all doing? Having supper?”


  It was past midnight. Why would anyone take a walk at this time?

  Yi Qiao looked at her worriedly. He glanced at Xuan Ge. When he heard the gunshots just now, he went up to find Xuan Ge. He didn’t see Ming Shu.

  The bodyguards left at the villa said that she went out.

  Yi Qiao felt relieved when he saw her safe and sound.

  “Why are you running around in the middle of the night? What if something happens to you?”


  “I brought my bodyguards along.” Ming Shu pointed to her bodyguards behind her. “Make some midnight snacks. I’m a little hungry. You all can go back and have a rest.”


  The first sentence was directed at Yi Qiao while the last sentence was for her bodyguards.

  Yi Qiao glanced at her bodyguards.

  They looked intimidating.

  There were quite a few of them too……

  The only job of the bodyguards was to listen to their employer. Since Ming Shu gave them an order, they returned to their rooms. Only the people guarding during the night were left.

  Yi Qiao swallowed what he wanted to say.

  What happened tonight……

  It was better if Young Miss didn’t know about it.

  “I’ll go and prepare some midnight snacks.”


  Only Ming Shu and Xuan Ge were left in the main hall.

  “Where did you go?”


  His opponent suddenly disappeared just now. When he turned back, she was gone.

  Ming Shu spouted nonsense: “I was afraid so I went out to hide.”


  Xuan Ge: “.……”


  Ming Shu walked toward the dining hall. “Have you settled everything?”


  Xuan Ge frowned. He followed her.

  He was afraid that something happened to her when she disappeared, so he didn’t chase after his opponent.

  “Don’t cause trouble for me next time. I don’t want to collect your corpse.”


  “I’ll settle it.”


  “Good.” Ming Shu sat in front of the dining table. She looked at the kitchen. “Uncle Yi didn’t know that I was there?”


  “Yes.”


  Xuan Ge thought that she would continue questioning him, but she didn’t speak to him again.

  After Ming Shu went up, Yi Qiao sat opposite him.

  “Are they from that side?”


  “No.” Xuan Ge looked down. “They came to look for me.”


  “You must protect Young Miss,” Yi Qiao said.

  Xuan Ge looked up slightly. He nodded after a while.

  “Your trouble……”


  “I settle it as soon as possible.” Xuan Ge’s eyes turned dark.

  Yi Qiao got up. When he walked past him, he wanted to pat his shoulder.

  His hand stopped in midair.

  He took his hand back.

  “Don’t let Young Miss know what happened tonight.”


  Xuan Ge remained silent.

  She was there just now.

  The footsteps grew fainter. Xuan Ge sat in the dining hall for a long time.

  When he got up, he pulled at his wound. He leaned against the table and stabilized himself before leaving.
