Chapter 1193: An Unquiet Night! (Additional)
“How are things going with the investigation?”
Wuzi took a light drag of his cigarette, his expression nonchalant.
Youna bowed her head: “Mila possesses Light-type abilities, with sunlight as her energy source; during the day she can even resurrect the dead.”
“But at night, she becomes extremely fragile. I have already separated her from Jiangnan. If Lord Wuzi wishes to make a move,”
“Tonight would be the best opportunity.”
Wuzi was stunned. That little girl was actually a Light-type?
Hua Xia truly had no shortage of talents.
Wuzi said calmly, “Tonight is destined to be unquiet. You only need to keep the little girl steady—don't let her hear the commotion outside. Let her sleep soundly through the night.”
“Cut off that bastard Jiang's retreat! Everything will become clear by morning.”
Youna was taken aback: ( ๐･᷄꒫･᷅ ) “You don't need me to act?”
She had thought she would use her close proximity to assassinate Jiangnan.
Wuzi sneered: “You? Are you even enough for Jiangnan to fight? What? Tired of living?”
Even an anti-material rifle's sniper shot could be withstood—Wuzi didn't believe a mere maidservant could kill Jiangnan.
Youna was puzzled: (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ “Then what do you need me to control little Mila for?”
Wuzi laughed coldly: “Just doing someone else a favor. Someone else will make a move for me.”
“My mole in the Coral organization got the latest intel: Coral is making a move tonight.”
“Don't underestimate a woman's vengeful heart. I hear Shaxia's Coral recently added a Star Glory-ranked expert.”
“Since someone is willing to step forward, I'll give them a helping hand.”
Even though he was confident, Wuzi didn't want to take risks—after all, that old geezer had just warned him.
With an assassination attempt just happening, sending another assassin after Jiangnan was too risky.
Let Shaxia handle it. He would pull the strings from the shadows. Even if things went wrong, no one would trace it back to him.
Once it succeeded, the benefits would still be his.
This time, the cooperation between Fish Kingdom and Hua Xia was spearheaded and responsible by Haidi. If Jiangnan died in Fish Kingdom,
The cooperation would inevitably fall through, and Haidi's status as crown prince would disappear.
Then his own position would return to him.
Thinking this, Wuzi was full of smug satisfaction.
The feeling of sitting securely on the fishing platform was simply too good, wasn't it?
Youna's expression darkened: (´-﹏-`) “You'll keep your promise to me, right?”
Wuzi smiled: “Don't worry. After this is done, I'll arrange for your mother to leave the palace. Your sister won't be taken into the Imperial Clan for battle maid training either.”
“By blood, you can be considered my little sister. How could a brother deceive his little sister?”
Youna bit her lip, her expression full of helplessness.
“Thank you, Lord Wuzi.”
As she spoke, the shadow dispersed.
In the mansion, Youna had finished bathing Mila and carried her to bed.
She gently patted Mila's back and hummed a lullaby.
“Good baby, quickly sleep—in your dreams, I'll be with you.”
In the shadow space,
Tiny black wisps emanated from Youna's body, filling the entire space.
Then they simulated the appearance of the room, looking exactly the same as before, but in reality, it was completely isolated from the outside world.
Even if artillery fire raged outside, the shadow space would remain unaffected.
Mila glanced at the ceiling, a cold glint in her eyes, then closed her eyes and gradually evened her breathing.
...
Meanwhile, Shaxia lay sprawled on the bed in a starfish position, with a maid applying medicine to her swollen areas.
“Hiss—be gentle! It hurts to death!”
The maid trembled in fear, her movements becoming even lighter.
Shaxia's face was full of shame and anger, her eyes blazing with fury.
( ☄益☄ ) “Just wait. Tonight I'll make you pay the price.”
Just then, the phone rang, and Shaxia quickly picked up.
“Princess! Lord Sea King is currently enjoying himself with his new favorites.”
“Lord Craig is not in the palace; he went to Lantis Academy to handle matters. Shall we proceed?”
Shaxia's eyes turned ruthless: “Be quick and clean. Carry out everything according to plan.”
“If exposed, immediately commit suicide. If captured, say exactly what I taught you.”
“Yes, Princess!”
After hanging up, Shaxia's eyes gradually filled with excitement—this time, let's see how you escape.
I've even used my trump card!
Lord Sea King's Bedchamber.
On the 66-square-meter giant bed, a dazzling radiance filled the entire room.
Saina was brimming with excitement, his muscles bulging, laughing heartily.
-`(› ಠᗜಠ‹ )´-
His newly married twenty-odd wives were all astonished and amazed.
˚*̥(∗*⁰͈꒨⁰͈ ) “Wow~ Lord Sea King, did you take some kind of stimulant? This is incredible!”
(*ꈍ◡ꈍ*) “You're amazing! I absolutely love it, okay?”
₍⸝⸝›̫‹⸝⸝₎ “I've never seen you this tall and mighty before!”
Saina roared with laughter, grabbing a handful of chives and stuffing them into his mouth, madly eating grass.
“Nan Shen! Awesome! God forever!”
At this moment, Saina felt as if he had returned to twenty years ago!
Dali paired with chives—simply invincible, okay?
-`(ง› ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง´-⁼³₌₃ “Watch my ultimate move: Raging Sea's Wild Waves! Ora ora ora ora~”
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
...
Jiangnan Mansion.
Inside the central air conditioning duct on the roof,
Xiangzhi, clad in black, lay inside, perfectly concealing her aura.
She observed the corridor through the vent holes.
Aima, carrying a lunchbox, was humming a song as she headed straight for the room.
Xiangzhi's eyes gleamed scarlet.
Jiangnan! Today is your death day!
After escaping alive from the Brahma underground city, she had gone from Xiangzhi to Stinky Zhi.
She had been in a slump for a long time, with all the toxins in her body neutralized, becoming a useless Zhi.
After working hard to pull herself together and suffering social death, Xiangzhi once considered moving to another planet to live.
She wandered from country to country, nearly being killed by Diamond-rank enemies several times.
All because of that bastard!
Eventually, she was recruited into Shaxia's Coral organization. Now that her body's toxins were fully restored, she had even leveled up by luck.
She thought she could seek better development in Coral, but who knew Jiangnan had also come to Fish Kingdom?
Xiangzhi's first thought was to take revenge!
So this time, she volunteered for the mission.
Last time, she mistakenly drank poisoned wine and suffered a miserable social death. This time, she would make him taste poison too!
Her fingers moved slightly, and the colorless, odorless toxin silently and evenly fell into the lunchbox Aima was holding.
Meanwhile, beneath the mansion, Coral's experts were already lying in ambush, waiting to act.
Xiangzhi crawled through the central air conditioning all the way to above Jiangnan's room.
She peeked down through the air conditioning vent.
But she saw Jiangnan lying in the bathtub, eyes closed, cultivating.
Xiangzhi's eyes widened in shock.
( ๐ ⊙ ก⊙ ๐ )!
Sko-ei~
Then she began to observe carefully, her face turning red.
I'm just observing the details of the target—it's necessary preparation for an assassin.
Yeah, that's right. Hehe~ slurp.
( ๐･᷄﹃･᷅ )
A drop of glistening saliva unconsciously dripped down through the air conditioning vent.
Xiangzhi: !!!
Bad!
“Ding~”
Jiangnan opened his eyes, looking at the ripples on the water's surface, frowning slightly.
He looked up at the air conditioner suspiciously.
Xiangzhi held her breath, not making a sound.
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ “Hmm~ air conditioner water? Turned it too cold?”
Then he closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
Xiangzhi inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Aima, who had entered the room with the lunchbox.
Aima set the food on the table and secretly glanced at Jiangnan.
ᥬ(๑◔₃◔ิ๑)᭄
Then she picked up chopsticks and started eating.
If I steal a bite, the master probably won't notice, right?
I'm just testing for poison.
Mmm~ didn't detect anything?
I'll take another billion bites—the master probably won't mind, right?
Xiangzhi: !!!
What the hell are you eating?
That was a big gift I specially prepared for Jiangnan!
You ate it all—what is Jiangnan supposed to eat?
What kind of maid is this?
Fortunately, she had used a sleep poison, which was undetectable and had a long onset time.
Otherwise, she would have been exposed.
Aima finished the food in no time, her expression stiffening slightly. She guiltily hid the lunchbox in the drawer.
Then she sidled up to Jiangnan, fawning over him.
₍ᐢ•⌄•ᐢ₎ “Master! Can I scrub your back, okay?”
Jiangnan didn't even open his eyes.
(｡˘～˘｡) “Mm... don't rub off the lip prints, okay?”
Aima swallowed her saliva. That seemed a bit difficult.
So she extended two fingers and pressed them around Jiangnan's abs.
She looked exactly like a little cat kneading milk on a belly!
Jiangnan asked casually, “About Youna, are you two close?”
Aima: “Mm... strictly speaking, she's actually half a princess. It's just that her mother was a palace maid.”
“Lord Sea King, being the king, naturally couldn't marry a maid as a princess, so she didn't get a status...”
“You should be able to tell from her hair color. Because she had pretty good talent, she was brought into the Imperial Clan for training.”
“Mm... I think she has a younger sister too?”
Jiangnan was stunned. It was that messy? Saina's old romantic debts?
Tsk tsk tsk~
“What about the food I asked for?”
Aima flinched, her eyes evasive.
ᥬ(乛﹏.乛٥)᭄ “Didn't... didn't get any. It's late, no one is cooking anymore.”
Jiangnan: (≖_≖) ...
Then what about that grain of rice at the corner of your mouth?
Aima quickly changed the subject.
ᥬ(٥´ﾟωﾟ) “I... I'll go warm the bed for my master! When it's warm, you can get in.”
Then she rubbed her eyes and crawled into the covers, her eyes feeling a bit sore.
Jiangnan rubbed his belly, speechless.
Xiangzhi sneered. The poison took effect?
She didn't eliminate Jiangnan, but taking out the maid was good too—it saved trouble.
Then I'll give you another big gift: let you taste the power of Deathly Silence!
Saying this, she released countless colorless, odorless toxins from her body.
They flowed through the central air conditioning ducts to every room.
The entire mansion was filled with Xiangzhi's toxins.
Go to the kingdom of heaven in your dreams, you bastard!
[From Xiangzhi: Resentment +1000.]
Jiangnan: ???
Stinky Zhi?
The next moment, Jiangnan sniffed lightly, suddenly sensing the anomaly in the air.
Big Wolfgirl and Xuexue had kissed him all over; the effect hadn't worn off yet.
A wolf's sense of smell made Jiangnan very sensitive, and he detected a strange scent.
He turned to look at Aima on the bed—she was sleeping unusually deeply.
Was the food just now poisoned? Aima, while testing the poison, really poisoned herself?
An assassination had come?
Jiangnan's heart surged with excitement. He had finally been waiting for this!
He might as well cooperate; otherwise, they probably wouldn't dare to make a move.
So he opened a Space Wormhole in his mouth, with the other end positioned a thousand meters high in the sky.
Breathing pure, toxin-free air.
Even if the poison could permeate the skin, Jiangnan's body was currently soaked in Dali water, which was enough to block it.
He ensured he remained unaffected.
Then Jiangnan tilted his head, his hand falling limply by the bathtub's edge, his breathing even.
(｡˘～˘｡)ว ZZZ~
Xiangzhi's eyes were full of excitement. He's been hit!
