Chapter 942: Chapter 317 The Noble Consort is Dead_2 Chapter 942: Chapter 317 The Noble Consort is Dead_2 “Is the snake demon still here?”

“Yes, although she checked in just yesterday, the service quality is indeed good. Why not stay a few more days? After all, the snake demon hasn’t eaten anyone or disturbed the locals. A true Greater Demon of the snake race wouldn’t deign to pay attention to the likes of us common folk…”

“It should be fine…”

The staff at Yanhui Building had reassured him many times because, in their eyes, this Young Master Dong not only was particularly faint-hearted but also appeared to be short on funds. Even so frightened, he had no plans to move out, apparently enticed by Yanhui Building’s week of free lodging…

Little did they know that this ‘particularly faint-hearted Young Master Dong,’ far from being short on funds, had seven neat and tidy snake demons lying in his luggage!

Indeed, one should continue to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Feng Yin stayed a full seven days at Yanhui Building, while the gentle assassin carried out assignments for seven consecutive nights.

But what made Feng Yin feel uneasy was that apart from the disturbance in the Imperial Capital on the first night after executing Xu Chengyun and his family, and the subsequent investigations in all directions by the authorities…

Everything had since gone quiet.

It seemed as though Gentle’s killings were legal and legitimate… Normal, and not at all surprising.

This situation left Feng Yin feeling a bit off.

Of course, he could clearly reason out that it must have been the Dark Division taking action to cover his tracks.

But no waves after the killings… that seemed a bit too smooth, didn’t it?

As it turned out, Physician Feng should not have thought this way.

A great storm was about to hit.

…

Meanwhile.

Dong Xiaoyan suddenly realized that the number of people watching her seemed to have increased all at once.

The Fenghua Building, where she resided, was almost saturated with various kinds of psychic senses.

Moreover, every day there were many guests checking out, replaced by martial artists checking in.

In just three to five days, the Fenghua Building had unmistakably become a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Such changes made the two protectors quite jittery, fearing a repeat of the day’s besiegement.

Even though they were now within the capital of Qin country where the chances of a large-scale attack were slim, and even if an incident occurred, it couldn’t escape later inquiry…

But once something happened, it signified that the three of them were facing imminent death. Even if the perpetrators and their entire families were executed afterward, in the end, they would still be dead. Once fate takes its course, how does revenge matter?

Luckily, the martial artists who moved in all behaved very politely and made no attempt to directly interact with Dong Xiaoyan.

The only thing was that Dong Xiaoyan’s whereabouts, as long as she had any slight movements, were bound to be followed or monitored by psychic senses.

She was almost driven mad by this.

What did this bunch want, and what were their intentions, she knew very well: they simply wanted to dig out the whereabouts of the Divine Physician from her.

This put Miss Dong in a foul mood, as she had been thinking of sneaking off to find Feng Yin.

But how could she now, under these circumstances?

If she went, it would mean bringing this huge crowd along with her…

Feng Yin would probably be killed by her doing, ending up without even remains left to recover.

Even if not killed, he would likely be imprisoned for life by a powerful faction, condemned to refine medicine and survive on that forever!

This tangled Dong Xiaoyan’s youthful thoughts, leaving her torn between life and death.

They had just solidified their affections, basking in heartfelt shyness and devoted attachment. But now, after having been separated for so long, upon reaching another city where just a few breaths could reunite them, where she could rush into his arms…

Yet because of the many constraints that suddenly appeared around her, reunion seemed impossible.

How could Miss Dong, who had just experienced the flavors of romance and was in the heat of passion, endure this?

But she had no choice but to bear it… because of the danger.

“This is infuriating!”

With a sullen face, Dong Xiaoyan paced back and forth in her room, her anger writ large on her expressive face.

“Why are they following me for no reason?”

“Should I be the object of their surveillance?”

“Dare they provoke Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace like this, so brazenly seeking death?”

Miss Dong furiously berated, unusually invoking the name of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

Bai Changhai and Bai Changshan maintained an attitude of detachment, remaining silent.

They would soon be replaced.

Given Dong Xiaoyan’s current level of cultivation, which was about to reach the ninth grade of Heavenly Level, although the two were still much more advanced than Dong Xiaoyan in terms of cultivation, the difference in rank was no longer that great. At least in terms of guidance in cultivation, they had limited help to offer.

Naturally, it called for a protector of a higher caliber to take over.

Now the brothers’ intent was just to stand their last watch until the liaison arrived, and then all would be well.

But hearing Dong Xiaoyan speak like this, the two couldn’t help but feel utterly speechless inside.

The people tailing you aim to find the Divine Physician, and here you are escalating the conflict to the level of affronting the Cloud Palace; isn’t this a bit much…

Also, Miss, didn’t you always mind when people treated you as the Miss of the Cloud Palace out in the martial world, granting you favors? Why are you now starting to flaunt the Cloud Palace as a shield?

…

Feng Yin spent a quiet and peaceful half-month in Yanhui Building, something that went by smoothly.

Dong Xiaoyan, during that time, nearly succumbed to depression, which led her to take on missions with increasing frenzy.

She had rampaged through the vast Imperial Capital from south to north and east to west.

She even undertook Gold Rank, Silver Rank, and Iron Rank missions, slaying all who crossed her path without hesitation.
