Chapter 336: The Cold Ehuang, the Warm Nuying!
“Let’s go!”
Li Mo suddenly rose.
Yan Lingji, who was just about to remove her clothes to rest, froze in place, looking at him in disbelief.
“I’ve already taken off my clothes, and you tell me to go?”
“Where to?”
“To Chu State.”
Li Mo didn’t waste any more words. He picked up the belt Yan Lingji had thrown around his neck and helped her fasten it again.
Yan Lingji glanced at the pitch-black night outside, her face scrunched up in distress. “How about we get some sleep first and then go?”
It was true that they could also sleep on the horse-drawn carriage, but bouncing around would be torturous.
“We’re in a hurry; let’s sleep on the way.”
Yan Lingji didn’t understand what was going on with him, and before she could even ask why he was in such a rush, Li Mo had already opened the room door and walked out.
Seeing Li Mo leave to bid farewell, Master Xun was puzzled as well.
It was only when they got onto the horse-drawn carriage that Yan Lingji had the chance to question him.
Li Mo leaned back against the soft and comfortable blanket, his expression serious. “Members of the Yin-Yang School have gone to Chu State.”
Yan Lingji shot him a confused glance, “So what? The world is so vast; why should you care where others go?”
“I might not care where they go, but if they’re trying to steal my things, shouldn’t I be concerned?”
Yan Lingji was taken aback, looking at him in confusion.
“Steal what from you?”
Li Mo stated plainly, “The last copper box.”
Just earlier, he had been keeping up with Heibai Shaosiming and Ehuang Nuying.
After these two pairs of twins entered the city, they headed straight for the Palace of the King of Chu.
What could be drawing them to the palace?
Aside from the copper box related to the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, nothing else would.
Wang Jian and the others were not aware of this matter.
Some things are better known by fewer people.
He initially planned on entrusting this matter to Li Wu; she was someone he could absolutely trust.
However, after Li Wu surrendered in Yan State, she went to guard the borders of Yan State.
Even though he had sent someone to retrieve the copper box, facing the four members of the Yin-Yang School, two of whom were Elders, it would likely not be so easy to extricate themselves.
Now that the last copper box was about to be within reach, how could Li Mo allow it to fall into Donghuang Taiyi’s hands?
Donghuang Taiyi wanted to obtain a bit more negotiating leverage.
If all seven copper boxes were acquired solely by Li Mo, he would be left in a passive position forever.
He knew that Li Mo had come to Qi State.
Therefore, he never considered laying hands on the copper box from Qi State.
He had originally intended to seize the opportunity to retrieve the copper box from Chu State while Li Mo was absent.
But who would have thought that Donghuang Taiyi would have underestimated Li Mo’s ability with satellite positioning!
Since the appearance of Hei Bai Shaosiming and Ehuang Nuying, they had not escaped Li Mo’s surveillance.
Every move, every word and deed of theirs was firmly grasped by Li Mo.
In Chu State, the capital of Chu.
A small black figure was rapidly navigating through the desolate mountains and wilderness.
The sound of heavy breathing in the quiet night was particularly clear.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from both sides of the road.
The figure in black glanced sideways, their heart racing.
What they saw were green vines in the grass rushing towards them like venomous snakes.
They were so dense it made one’s skin crawl.
A multitude of vines blocked the way, and seeing this, the Black Jade Kirin stopped abruptly.
“Hand over the copper box, and I will leave you with your whole body.”
Two figures silently appeared on the treetops.
One in black, one in white.
Both had the same appearance and stature, even their clothing was identical in style, differing only in color.
Clusters of green leaves swirled around the two like snowflakes.
These seemingly soft leaves, however, could take a person’s life.
The Black Jade Kirin tightly hugged the copper box in her arms, a determined glint flashing in her glowing eyes.
Her voice was hoarse as she replied, “In your dreams!”
She had relied on her transformation technique to evade these members of the Yin-Yang School for seven days but was finally caught up by them.
“Seeking your own death!”
Suddenly, a voice filled with killing intent and coldness rang from behind.
The Black Jade Kirin barely had time to turn her head before her petite body dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a piercing ice spike.
“You react pretty quickly.”
The expression on Ehuang’s face was frosty as she raised her hand in front of her.
Moisture in the air instantly condensed into dozens of ice spikes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If they pierced someone, they would surely leave holes all over their body.
Dozens of ice spikes quivered slightly, simultaneously flying toward the Black Jade Kirin.
This time, before she could dodge, the vines coiling around the tree trunk simultaneously reached out to ensnare her.
Forcing the Black Jade Kirin into a position where she had nowhere to escape.
The dozens of ice spikes came at her with extreme speed, the biting cold making her face feel numb.
Just as they were about to pierce her, the spikes suddenly trembled and transformed into puddles of water that drenched her completely from head to toe.
Before the Black Jade Kirin could grasp what had happened, she heard Ehuang’s cold shout: “Nuying, what are you doing?”
Hei Bai Shaosiming also turned to look at Ehuang.
A figure identical to Ehuang walked over from behind her.
“Retrieving the bronze box is Lord Donghuang’s order. Do you wish to defy Lord Donghuang?”
Ehuang’s eyebrows shot up, her face filled with anger as she reprimanded.
Nuying glanced at the disheveled Black Jade Kirin, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
She bit her lip and explained, “Lord Donghuang only told us to take the box, he did not say to kill anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Ehuang nearly fainted from rage.
“Hold back that sympathy of yours. If we don’t kill her today, and if the National Advisor of Qin learns that we were the ones who took the box, do you think he would let us off?”
Ehuang and Nuying were both twin sisters.
But unlike Nuying’s kindness, Ehuang had always been ruthless.
From the moment she appeared, one could see her lethal intent.
Yet another poisonous beauty!
Hei Bai Shaosiming appeared unperturbed.
The personalities of these sisters were entirely opposite.
Unlike them, who had always been of one heart since childhood.
The Black Jade Kirin looked unexpectedly at Nuying.
The Yin-Yang School actually had someone like this?
Nuying’s expression was gentle, giving a sense of warmth.
She slowly countered, “The box originally belongs to that National Advisor; our actions to snatch it are already wrong. If we kill his people, it would create a situation where we can’t escape.”
Ehuang trembled with rage at her words.
If Nuying weren’t her younger sister, she would have thrown her out!
“If you don’t want to fight, then stand aside, Heibai!”
Heibai Shaosiming understood her intentions; with a slight motion of her four jade hands, several vines emerged from the side, isolating Nuying.
After that, the three once again focused on the Black Jade Kirin.
“Sister, please take my advice.”
“We’ve secured the treasure box; there’s no need to kill anyone too,”
Nu Ying observed the intense killing intent from Ehuang and called out anxiously.
Ehuang had already activated the “White Dew Frightens Frost” technique, sneering upon hearing this: “Once we complete the mission and return to the Yin-Yang School, you can go and plead for forgiveness from Lord Donghuang yourself.”
With that, she prepared to collaborate with Hei Bai Shaosiming to attack.
However, suddenly, a bolt of thunder struck down from the sky!
It headed straight for the top of her head!
