âSo youâre implying that the one who sent you to kill me was your junior sister.â
Upon hearing the manâs words, Jiang Peihuan calmly responded.
Jiang Peihuanâs assertion darkened the strange manâs already sullen face even further, making his appearance all the more terrifying.
Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he coldly said, âYou indeed are clever, but this intelligence will be your end.â
After saying that, the man took out the key and opened the door to the basement.
Without caring about his clothes, he directly walked into the water.
The man ignored his clothes and walked into the water.
Since Jiang Peihuan was sitting on Han Fengâs shoulders, the man had to look up to face her.
Meeting Jiang Peihuanâs gaze, the manâs eyes showed a mixture of emotions, âIn your next life, remember not to be too smart.â
Finishing his words, he drew his dagger.
Before Jiang Peihuan could react, Han Feng, with fury in his eyes, said, âHow dare you try to hurt the queen, and you will surely meet a gruesome end.â
Hearing Han Fengâs words, the man laughed out loud as if he had heard a good joke. Although there was a smile on the manâs face, there was no smile in his eyes. If one looked carefully, there was only endless mockery and disdain.
âIn that case, Iâll kill you first.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in the manâs hand stabbed straight into Han Fengâs heart.
However, just as he took a step forward, his wrist went limp, and the dagger in his hand fell out.
The man quickly held onto the wall at the side. If he had not reacted quickly, he would have fallen into the water.
The man tried to muster his energy and send out a palm wind, but he was powerless.
His eyes filled with shock, he stared at Jiang Peihuan, âIt was you.â
âNo, Iâve already sealed your acupuncture points. Youâ¦
âYou sealed my acupoints so that I canât use my martial arts, but you canât stop me from using poison.
âPoison?â
Hearing Jiang Peihuanâs words, the surprise in the manâs eyes deepened.
Facing his astonishment, Jiang Peihuan calmly stated, âDidnât your junior sister tell you? Iâm a physician, well-versed in medical arts and adept at using poison.â
Jiang Peihuan interrupted the manâs words and said lightly.
The man didnât say anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes.
A moment ago, a strange scene had appeared before his eyes.
The manâs figure suddenly changed. The clothes on his body kept shrinking. Soon, the man in front of him turned into a child.
No, to be precise, it was a body with a childâs body but an adultâs face.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Peihuanâs eyes were full of surprise.
Han Feng whispered, âMy Queen, itâs the Bone Shrinking Technique.â
âSuch a technique actually exists in this world?â
In her previous life, Jiang Peihuan had heard about a martial skill on the martial arts world stage that allowed individuals to change their body size at will, known as the Bone Shrinking Technique.
Jiang Peihuan had always considered it a mere legend, not realizing its actual existence.
âHehe⦠You thought poisoning me would leave me helpless against you?â
The man, no, the child now, glared malevolently at Jiang Peihuan, sneering.
As his voice trailed off, he charged directly at Han Feng and Jiang Peihuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan immediately drew the whip from her waist.
Even though her martial strength was temporarily hindered, her hand skills remained.
Jiang Peihuan was fast, but the man was faster. He grabbed the whip Jiang Peihuan lashed out, and yanked it forcefully.
She was pulled off Han Fengâs shoulders.
âQueen Cheng?â
Witnessing this, Han Feng immediately reached out.
However, the man scoffed and blocked Han Feng.
As she was falling, Jiang Peihuan instinctively held her belly, her back facing the ground.
However, she felt herself being caught by someoneâs embrace.
Soon after, Han Fengâs excited voice reached her ears, âMaster?â
Hearing this voice, Jiang Peihuan immediately opened her eyes.
The one holding her was none other than Xiao Nanye.
Xiao Nanyeâs men had their unique ways of communication, so upon receiving the message, Xiao Nanye hurried over without delay.
Recalling what he had just witnessed, Xiao Nanyeâs eyes filled with fury.
As he held Jiang Peihuan, the man applied force to his wrist, throwing her onto his back.
Lying on Xiao Nanyeâs back, Jiang Peihuan instinctively held his neck.
Xiao Nanye, supporting Jiang Peihuan with one hand and drawing his long sword with the other, pointed it at the man before him.
âEven if youâre the leader of Qian Ji Pavilion, you wouldnât dare to act so boldly in front of me. Just learning the basics of the Bone Shrinking Technique and you dared to harm my people? Youâre seeking death!â
As his voice trailed off, the long sword in Xiao Nanyeâs hand immediately aimed for the manâs heart.
The man, now in the form of a child, moved with exceptional agility, effortlessly dodging Xiao Nanyeâs sword.
But Xiao Nanyeâs moves grew faster and fiercer.
Jiang Peihuan soon heard the manâs screams of agony.
âIs everyone from the Qian Ji Pavilion as weak as you?â
With one hand supporting Jiang Peihuan and the other wielding the sword, Xiao Nanye cut off the manâs hand. The man, splashed in the water, stared at his severed wrist, eyes filled with terror and malice.
After his hand was severed, the manâs form changed again. Jiang Peihuan watched as he transformed back into his adult form.
âThe prerequisite of the Bone Shrinking Technique is an intact skeletal structure and limbs.â
âNow, you canât use the Bone Shrinking Technique ever again.â
Saying this, Xiao Nanye raised his sword again.
Seeing the sword aimed for the manâs neck, Jiang Peihuan gently tapped on the manâs shoulder, âWait.â
Hearing Jiang Peihuanâs voice, even though the sword was close to the manâs neck, Xiao Nanye adjusted his aim, piercing the manâs shoulder instead.
âXiao Nanye, let him go.â
Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye looked puzzled. But moments later, he sheathed his sword, carrying Jiang Peihuan on his back, he walked out without glancing back at the man.
Seeing this, Han Feng hastily followed.
âMaster, this subordinate deserves to die!â
As soon as they left the basement, Han Feng knelt before Xiao Nanye.
Xiao Nanye, looking at the kneeling figure, had a gloomy expression in his eyes.
âXiao Nanye, this wasnât Han Fengâs fault. He was captured because he was concerned for my safety.â
After leaving the basement, Jiang Peihuan wanted to walk by herself, but Xiao Nanye still carried her. Thus, she remained on Xiao Nanyeâs back..
