Chapter 497: Chapter 499 Let’s Get Married Earlier

Pei Huaian, with a backward grip, seized her wrist and turned around to shield her behind him.

The assassin raised his arm, the dagger in his hand slicing through the air as it shot out, only to be blocked by a long sword.

"Master!" An Shi fought back with all his strength.

The long sword clashed with the dagger, ringing crisply, sparks flying as both adversaries were forced to retreat two steps.

Shao He stood dazed for a moment, not yet recovered from the shock, when she was suddenly pushed aside, and Pei Huaian suffered a palm strike to his shoulder.

"Hahaha, I didn’t expect there would be so many after your lives," the Man in Black Robe retracted his palm and turned his gaze toward the assassins behind him.

Shao He came back to her senses and ran to support Pei Huaian, who was staggering.

The assassin’s figure paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting someone else to come.

"How are you?" Shao He asked anxiously, her face full of worry, fearing that Pei Huaian would lose his life because of her.

Pei Huaian tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiling lightly, "Do I look like I’m seriously wounded?"

At his words, Shao He let out a sigh of relief.

Pei Huaian glanced down at her and chuckled, "It was just a palm strike and... cough!"

He suddenly coughed lowly, spitting out fresh red blood.

"You’ve been injured internally!" Shao He was shocked.

"It’s nothing!" Pei Huaian reassured, holding her slender hand.

Shao He pursed her lips and took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, producing a medicine pill and feeding it to him.

Pei Huaian watched her quietly, a doting smile in his eyes.

"Shao He," he called.

"Hmm?"

"If we make it out safely, let’s get married sooner, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Shao He’s hands stiffened.

Meanwhile, the Man in Black Robe slightly started, as if falling into some memory.

"After this, let’s get married."

"Okay," the woman replied joyfully, nodding her head as she danced gracefully among the flowers, her smile more beautiful than the blooms.

Suddenly, the Man in Black Robe felt a fierce aura, and before he could react, it was already too late.

Suddenly, the Man in Black Robe felt a fierce aura, hastily lifted his palm to counter it, but only heard a loud bang.

The Man in Black Robe was knocked several meters away, he struggled to stand and looked toward Pei Huaian, revealing a sinister smile.

"Heh, you really didn’t disappoint me." After speaking, he stood still.

Instead, he rolled up his sleeve, took out a bottle, opened it, and let a Gu insect crawl into his skin. Then, a smug smile curled up on his lips.

An Shi faced off against the assassin, while Pei Huaian took the initiative to attack, and although the Man in Black Robe evaded his fatal blow, when Pei Huaian attacked him a second time, he met it head-on.

The Man in Black Robe fell, but his face showed no pain, the smile at his lips slowly widening. Just as Pei Huaian was puzzled...

Behind him, a voice cry of intense pain came, as Shao He knelt to the ground, clutching her shoulder tightly.

"Shao He..." Pei Huaian’s expression changed drastically.

Pei Huaian couldn’t continue his attack on the Man in Black Robe, and instead quickly moved to Shao He’s side, crouching down to embrace her.

"Shao He, don’t scare me..." Pei Huaian’s hands trembled as he held her pale, bloodless face, his eyes reddening, heart wrenching.

"I’m... okay... ah..."

Shao He gritted her teeth, persisting despite the dense cold sweat on her forehead.

"How could this happen..." Pei Huaian’s fingertips were ice cold, his whole body radiating a terrifying chill.

An Shi, too, was startled by this voice and, not bothering to chase the fleeing assassin, returned to Pei Huaian’s side.

"Master, you take Doctor Shao and go first," An Shi said, standing in front of the two of them.

The Man in Black Robe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

"It’s useless, the pain inflicted on me is felt by her. If I die, she won’t survive either," he sneered sinfully.

Pei Huaian looked up at the Man in Black Robe, his gaze as deep and terrifying as a thousand-year-old cold pond, "You’ve implanted the Mother Gu in yourself?"

The Man in Black Robe narrowed his eyes, staring at Pei Huaian with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "So you knew?"

"Was this one of your plans? So she is just a pawn in your scheme?" the Man in Black Robe said, pointing at Shao He.

"No, she is my wife," Pei Huaian stated decisively.

The Man in Black Robe laughed, a laugh so cold and frightening, it seemed to emanate from a demon from Hell itself.

"Do you think I believe you? You’re just using her medical skills," he said.

Pei Huaian glanced at him dismissively, "You think everyone is like you? Only capable of using the woman they love?"

The Man in Black Robe retorted angrily, "I love her, more than my own life."

Pei Huaian frowned, "If you love her so much, why would you harm her?"

"I never thought of harming her. I never did! She rushed over, and before I could react, she had already... already..." The Man in Black Robe, recalling past events, lost himself in a frenzied state.

Pei Huaian intended to seize the opportunity to capture him, but the Man in Black Robe, sensing this, dodged away.

He kicked a stone aside and lunged at Pei Huaian.

Pei Huaian immediately sidestepped to avoid the attack and said with a heavy voice, "I don’t want to kill you, release Ah He."

The Man in Black Robe gave An Shi a sinister glance, then his gaze shifted back to Pei Huaian’s face, "I don’t want to kill you either. I just want her to accompany me to the Southern Frontier."

"Impossible," Pei Huaian replied firmly.

He would never let Shao He take such a risk.
