Half an hour later!
Delicious!
Only an empty bowl remained on the bedside table, along with the two-bitten Budding Root.
After taking her medicine, Gu Yue lay with the light on, staring at the ceiling!
She had never felt so calm before, nor so lost.
She was an orphan, trafficked abroad by human traffickers, and trained as a killer from a young age before being sold to various assassin organizations. Thus, to her, the world was only about profit, not emotion.
Five years ago, the assassin organization she had joined was annihilated by her own hands because its leader coveted her beauty and attempted to forcibly possess her.
Two years ago, she joined her current assassin organization, which was one of the three major organizations in the assassin world, Tianwang. Its young master also coveted her beauty. After she rejected his advances several times,
She was suddenly summoned back a few days ago, but it turned out to be a trap set to forcibly conquer her!
Gu Yue, with her fierce personality, broke through her limits in resistance. Her strength greatly increased, allowing her to kill several A-class assassins and eventually break out.
However, she had been on the run for days, with even several quasi-S-class assassins involved in the pursuit.
It was no small feat to escape to China and still be alive!
She had long given up hope on humanity, only to be saved by someone she had chased multiple times.
Including the incident a year ago, this was the second time he had saved her!
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions and confusion.
...
Xu Weiwei returned from work, showered, and went to the balcony with a face mask on to enjoy the breeze. She noticed the light in the adjacent bedroom was on.
"This guy's actually back!" she muttered, a displeased grunt escaping her lips.
Yesterday, when she asked if he was coming back, he had proudly declared he wasn't, saying he'd be staying at his fiancée's place for the next few days.
Liar!
However, a smile soon graced her face. She hastily removed the face mask before its time, washed her face, and then opened the door to the opposite unit.
She had something to tell him. The fact that the light was still on meant he wasn't asleep yet.
She knocked twice, but there was no response.
Xu Weiwei was somewhat speechless. This guy was either deliberately ignoring her or had probably fallen asleep!
At this very moment!
In Ye Cangtian's bedroom, Gu Yue, upon hearing the knocking, her eyes flickered with coldness.
Her hand gently reached towards the bedside cabinet. There was a bowl there, her only usable weapon, as her sword had been put away by Ye Cangtian.
It was so late, and someone knocking was definitely not normal!
She worried it might be her pursuers, so she felt a bit tense.
Fortunately, the knocking didn't last long before it stopped.
A moment later, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't her pursuers. Otherwise, if they broke in, with her current injuries, even a B-class assassin could pose a threat to her!
"I need to recover my injuries as soon as possible!"
...
The next day!
Ye Cangtian arrived at the apartment again early in the morning, bringing some porridge.
Gu Yue no longer stood on ceremony. She sat up, opened the box, and began to eat. Ye Cangtian couldn't help but shake his head.
This girl was quite pitiable. She had only had a bowl of chicken soup last night. She must be starving!
"Are your injuries much better today?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the half-eaten Budding Root on the bedside table and said speechlessly, "You spent two hundred million on me in one night!"
Gu Yue was stunned, then her pretty face flushed. She quickly hid the 'Budding Root' with its several bite marks under the covers and huffed, "I'll pay you back as soon as I recover!"
Now she no longer doubted the value of that root-like thing, because after eating it last night, her body had indeed felt much better, and her spirit had improved significantly. Su Dan Novel Network
This was the first time she had ever encountered such a miraculous item; it truly deserved to be called a treasure medicine!
Seeing her acting like a young woman, Ye Cangtian smiled and then asked, "Tell me, who exactly is chasing you to have you end up like this? I recall you're affiliated with the Tianwang assassin organization, right?"
The Tianwang assassin organization was one of the three giants in the assassin world, with its influence spread almost globally, boasting a large number of assassins and many strong individuals.
Ye Cangtian couldn't imagine why someone would be pursuing her, an assassin from Tianwang!
Gu Yue's body trembled slightly. She put down the half-eaten porridge.
She didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with coldness and hatred!
Ye Cangtian was taken aback, "Did you defect?"
Gu Yue said coldly, "You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs!"
"It seems you really did defect, so the people chasing you are Tianwang assassins?"
Ye Cangtian mumbled to himself, then shook his head, "That's going to be a big problem. Tianwang is extremely cruel to traitors and will pursue them relentlessly."
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and sneered, "Are you scared? See if you dare save me again. Be careful, the Tianwang organization might consider you an accomplice and kill you both!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled, curled his lips, "Will I be scared? If they dare to come, I'll make sure they never return. Tell me, how many people are chasing you? How many A-class assassins?"
Gu Yue looked at him, then held up a hand.
"Four?"
"Yes, four quasi-S-class assassins!"
"Only four... What did you say? Four quasi-S-class assassins?" Ye Cangtian's face darkened. Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Quasi-S-class assassins were the cream of the crop among top killers in the assassin world. Even within the Tianwang organization, each quasi-S-class assassin was considered at the very edge.
Even for high-difficulty assassination missions, Tianwang would at most dispatch one quasi-S-class assassin.
Situations where four quasi-S-class assassins were dispatched at once were exceedingly rare.
"Did you kill their fathers or chop off their sons to provoke Tianwang into sending four quasi-S-class assassins after you!" Ye Cangtian was speechless and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's truly not easy for you to have escaped here alive!"
"Now you know how dangerous I am, right?" Gu Yue sneered, as if to say, don't think you can underestimate the assassin world just because you can defeat me.
"It's quite troublesome!"
Ye Cangtian nodded, but then a disdainful smile appeared, "But since they haven't even reached S-class, they're nothing in my eyes!"
"..."
Gu Yue glared up at him.
What did that mean? Did it mean I'm less than nothing?
Ye Cangtian turned and said, "Focus on recovering. Since they're all looking for you, don't show yourself again until you're healed."
"Hey!" Gu Yue called out to him.
"Hmm?"
Ye Cangtian turned back and saw Gu Yue gritting her teeth and asking, "Where are my clothes?"
She truly didn't want to wear these men's clothes, especially not ones that had been worn by that detestable bastard, and which carried the smell of that stinky man all night.
"Your clothes were torn to shreds, they were thrown in the trash long ago!" Ye Cangtian said speechlessly.
"..." Gu Yue gnashed her teeth.
Bastard! Then what am I supposed to wear?
