On the outskirts of Donghai City, Blood Rose ultimately failed to evade the pursuit of several martial arts masters. They surrounded her completely. Blood Rose drew her dagger and coldly eyed the people in front of her.
âStill trying to resist, seeking death!â One of the pursuers directly made a move towards Blood Rose.
However, it was then that Blood Rose realized they were not from the assassin group, because people from the assassin group would not capture but directly kill.
This gave her a glimmer of hope. Despite their strong abilities, their killing techniques were not as good as hers. In their confrontation, Blood Rose immediately let go and, holding the dagger in one hand, directly aimed for the opponentâs face.
The Li familyâs thug, feeling the breath of death, instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly retracted his arm and retreated on the spot, ducking down. The dagger left a bloody line on his forehead. If he hadnât dodged quickly, the dagger would have slit his throat.
âA professional assassin, everyone be careful! The young miss said dead or alive doesnât matter.â Suddenly, everyone became more cautious.
Blood Roseâs heart sank; she hadnât expected them to dodge her first attack. These people, although lacking some in killing skills, did not lack actual combat experience; they were hardened by bloodshed.
âNo need for words, just kill her.â
âAlright! Letâs go together.â
Blood Rose was in complete despair. Once they knew she was a professional assassin, their attitude completely changed, becoming cautious and striking hard without mercy.
Minutes later, Blood Roseâs internal organs were shattered, and she wasnât going to live much longer. The bag tied to her waist also fell, and a human head rolled out from the bag. The people saw that it was indeed Li Ziyenâs head.
âIndeed, itâs the young master. Sigh~! Donghai is about to change.â â
Who did it, so ruthless.â
âKill her, and take the body back to report.â
âOkay.â
[Ding~! Host calmly orchestrated the plot, leading to Blood Roseâs untimely death, changing a large portion of the story, reducing the protagonist Xiao Chenâs luck by five percent. Host receives a chance for an epic treasure chest draw.].
Su Lin, who was waiting for Zhao Yanyan to change into stockings, suddenly heard the systemâs voice. He checked the time on his watch; it hadnât been two hours since he told Li Ziyu.
âSo, the matter is settled already. Not bad, Li Ziyu, can your marriage with Xiao Chen still continue now?â Su Lin knew that the marriage between Li Ziyu and Xiao Chen wasnât something they could decide on their own.
However, with this incident, surely Xiao Chenâs marriage would be questioned. Thinking that Blood Rose died just like that, Su Lin felt somewhat regretful.
Although this woman appeared cold, once moved, she was the type to rush towards the flame, even at the cost of her own life to help her loved one. In the original story, this woman, as the first female lead, had a lot of screen time, and in the end, even cultivated to immortality with Xiao Chen.
Who would have thought that because of his interference, she would die within days of appearing? Before Su Lin could think further, the rest room door opened.
With a âcreak,â Su Lin saw Zhao Yanyan appearing at the door, wearing black stockings and a short skirt. Her legs, already thin and long, looked even more slender in black stockings. Despite her height, it didnât seem inappropriate but very harmonious instead.
Truly a leg goddess. Su Lin sighed; Lin Xiaowan was right, Zhao Yanyan was indeed a complete leg goddess.
Zhao Yanyan, seeing Su Lin staring at her without moving, felt both proud and shy.Although Su Lin is surrounded by women, all of them beautiful, none have such impressive long legs as hers.
Zhao Yanyan walked up to Su Lin and lifted her leg, âHow is it, does it look good?â
Su Lin nodded, âBeautiful, very beautiful.â
âBut why do I feel that these stockings are uncomfortable?â Zhao Yanyan tugged at the stockings, which seemed too tight to pull up.
Su Lin laughed, âYour legs are long, and youâve stretched the stockings too much, making them tight. Of course, it would feel uncomfortable.â
âAh! Is that so?â
Su Lin nodded, âYou must have chosen a size too small. Although I donât know how to check the size, such an obvious issue can still be guessed.â
Zhao Yanyanâs face reddened, embarrassed by her mistake.
Su Lin took Zhao Yanyanâs hand gently and made her sit on his lap, âYanyan, you look so beautiful.â
Zhao Yanyan, wrapping her arms around Su Linâs neck, laughed, âYouâve said this to Xiaowan and Xiaoyu as well, havenât you?â Su
Lin admitted, âI have, more than once.â Su Lin hurriedly tried to suppress his desire; Zhao Yanyan in black stockings was too much of a temptation.
âHehe, I knew it would be like this.â Zhao Yanyan, staring directly at Su Lin, âArenât you afraid Iâll get jealous hearing this?â
Su Lin laughed, âJealousy is inevitable. Xiaowan is even jealous of Xiaoyu. Itâs a womanâs nature. As long as you donât leave me, itâs all fine.â After saying this, Su Lin stood up with Zhao Yanyan in his arms, âLetâs go test the quality of these stockings.â
âAh~! How⦠how will I go home later?â
âWeâre working overtime today. Iâll call your mom later.â
âAnd⦠what about Xiao Zhao?â
âSend her a message saying you had to leave work early due to some personal matters.â
âThenâ¦â
âWhat then, letâs go~!!â
Zhao Yanyan buried her head in Su Linâs chest.
Su Lin was woken up by Luo Sihaiâs call around 8 pm, with Zhao Yanyan still asleep. Surprisingly, Zhao Yanyan hadnât informed her parents, but they hadnât called to inquire either.
âHello~!â
âBoss, you finally answered.â
Hearing Luo Sihaiâs anxious voice, Su Lin was puzzled, âWhat happened, did Li Ziyu send someone to extort again?â
âExtortion? Worse than extortion, the whole Donghai is in chaos.â
âHmm? How so?â
âAh, boss, I released the news as you instructed. Then, the Li family came out with several masters to encircle Xiao Chen, and for some reason, the Qin family also sent masters. Just now, I heard that the assassin groupâs people also arrived, diamond-level assassins at that.â
âXiao Chen is quite formidable, fighting three at once and still managing to escape. Now, the whole Donghai is searching for him.â
âEh⦠Why is the Qin family stirring things up?â Su Lin asked, confused.
âI heard the Qin family suspects Lin Tianâs death is related to Xiao Chen and wanted to interrogate him.â
âEh⦠okay.â Su Lin was speechless, not expecting the Qin family to blame Lin Tianâs death on Xiao Chen.
Luo Sihai had already realized Lin Tianâs death must be related to Su Linâs intervention. âBoss, what should I do now?â
Su Lin said indifferently, âFind a place to sleep. What else can you do at this time of night? Donât worry about it.â
âBut Xiao Chen has escaped.â
âRelax, he wonât come after you. Heâs unfamiliar with Donghai and is only thinking about escaping. Even if he considers looking into it, by the time he has a chance, heâll know Iâm the one dealing with him. So, thereâs no need for further investigation. Get my point?â
Understanding Su Linâs words, Luo Sihai nodded, âGot it.â
âRest well, tomorrowâs show will be even more exciting.â
Now, the Qin family is just trying to capture Xiao Chen. If they fail, they will definitely confront the Li family, suspecting Xiao Chen is causing trouble. The Li family wonât give up on finding Xiao Chen, and neither will the assassin group.
Su Lin knew none of these people would really harm Xiao Chen; the protagonist still had a long way to go, having only lost a layer of luck.
âHmm~! Su Lin, who are you talking to?â
âA friend.â Su Lin hung up and sat next to Zhao Yanyan, âHow do you feel?â
âUncomfortable all over,â Zhao Yanyan glanced at Su Lin.
âUh⦠okay, then letâs continue to rest.â
âThe stockings are ruined, youâre not thinking of doing anything bad, are you?â Zhao Yanyan looked at Su Lin warily.
Su Lin earnestly replied, âWhat kind of person do you take me for? Donât worry, I wonât bother you now. Letâs wait until youâre better.â
Zhao Yanyan sighed deeply, âI finally understand why Xiaowan could accept Xiaoyu.â
âHeheâ¦â
The next morning, Su Lin got up early. He bought breakfast for Zhao Yanyan, and just as they finished eating, Xiao Zhao came to work. Su Lin had already gone to check on the situation with Luo Sihai.
Xiao Zhao, standing at the door of the managerâs office, was surprised to see Zhao Yanyan already there, âPresident Zhao, youâre so early today?â
âPresident Zhao, your complexion looks so radiant today. Is there some good news?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhao Yanyanâs face reddened, then shook her head, âNo⦠itâs just that sales have been good recently. Su Lin even complimented our side for selling well.â
âOh? The boss was here? How come I didnât see him?â
Zhao Yanyan gritted her teeth, âHe wasnât here, he told me over the phone yesterday.â
âIs that so?â
Zhao Yanyan nodded. Just then, the assistant noticed the pieces of stockings in the trash can; âPresident Zhao, these stockings?â
Zhao Yanyan calmly replied, âIâve already tried them, the quality is very poor. Let the manufacturer know if they continue to cut corners, weâll switch to a different manufacturer.â
âAh, youâve already tried them?â
âYes, do as I said.â
âOkay, Iâve noted it.â
