Chapter Forty: The Awesomely Cool Bodyguards

mall hand, she wrapped it around his neck and directly covered his thin lips with her red lips, biting and nibbling on them.Jun Li Ye's whole body trembled suddenly, he couldn't believe that he had be...Upon hearing this, Jun Liye's face darkened instantly. His sharp and deep gaze gave Su Qingying a powerful sense of oppression. Su Qingying felt goosebumps all over her body. "How long will you be preparing for Woman, don't play tricks on this King, or you won't be able to afford the consequences."

"Rest assured, I cherish my life dearly. Since I've made a promise to you, I won't break it." A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes, and Su Qingying smiled like a fox.

Actually, it's not impossible to detoxify this demon. It's just that she couldn't let him get away with it so easily.

"Alright, I'll give you a month to prepare. In a month, if you can't solve my poison, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" Jun Liye raised the corner of his lips into a smile, but that smile inexplicably made Su Qingying feel a bone-chilling terror.

Having spent years as a renowned assassin, Su Qingying had never felt fear. But the man before her, with his beauty that bordered on perfection, elicited a feeling of unease she'd never experienced.

Just like poppies, alluring and demonic yet fraught with infinite peril.

Running her hand over the goosebumps, Su Qingying smiled lightly, a cloud of indifference passing over her face. Her phoenix eyes glinted with calculation. With Jun Liye as her bodyguard, who would dare to target her!

Thinking about it, she spoke: "A month is a month, but in this month you have to protect me well. As you can see, there are many people here who want my life. If you want to get the antidote, you have to ensure my personal safety."

Hearing this, Jun Li stood with his hands behind his back. His handsome face, sculpted like a masterpiece by the gods, was filled with domineering and arrogance. The aura of a king who ruled the heavens was undeniable. "From today onwards, your life belongs to me. I'll see who dares to touch you!"

"Alright, I'll remember this. Jun Li Ye, a gentleman's word is his bond, a thousand horses can't catch up to it. Don't break your promise!" With Jun Li Ye's words, Su Qing Ying successfully completed her objective. The flickering candlelight on the desk cast a soft glow on her face, unconsciously making her features softer, beautiful as a dream.

There's this powerful martial arts prodigy, so from now on I won't have to sleep so cautiously anymore.

"I never break my word!" With that, he vanished in a flash, leaping out the window with incredible agility, leaving no trace behind.

After Jun Liye left, Su Qingying finally lay down on the soft couch. She held a glass button between her two fingers and flicked it towards the red candle on the candlestick. The room instantly darkened.

In the darkness, her eyes shone like a thousand stars.

Tonight, everyone who wants to kill her will be punished. It's best not to let her know who they are! If you dare to provoke her, be prepared to pay the price!

……

The night was cool as water, and the dew was even heavier.

On the streets of Ximeng Imperial City, a disheveled, gray-robed old man sat on the back of a slow-moving donkey.

The old man was nearly seventy years old, dressed in gray robes. His appearance was that of a fairy, with an ethereal air. Even though his beard was unkempt, it couldn't hide the handsome features he once possessed.

His dark eyes occasionally flashed with a few sparks of brilliance, profound and shrewd. A large gourd hanging from his waist added to his air of carefree detachment.

Grasping the gourd flask from his waist, the old man tilted it back and downed another gulp of wine. He smacked his lips, about to compliment the flavor when a streak of crimson light flashed across the sky, so quick that it was almost imperceptible.eak up on her like that It's just an instinctive reaction to the surrounding environment, okay She really didn't mean to hit that hard.Su Qingying yawned and asked, "Ghost doctor, what brings you to m...
