Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor’s Wild Beast-Tamer Empress-Chapter 625: Fighting Back Nicely
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
At this time, Lan Cai’er did not know that she was already betrayed by Long Baobao.
Lan Cai’er had carried out tasks several times but she was always with Ye Lingyue. It was the first time for her to undertake a task of detection all alone.
Luckily, Ye Lingyue let her take Little Squeak and Sky Armor Mouse with her.
Little Squeak was responsible for detecting poison while Sky Armor Mouse for detecting traps.
“Squeak.” Little Squeak was walking ahead but was suddenly on the alert.
Sky Armor Mouse ahead of others had already stopped since there was a trap forward.
Lan Cai’er noticed that in the grass ahead appeared a trap as deep as 10 zhang(a unit of length equalling 3 1/3 meters). Some hay was put on the trap so that no one would spot it easily.
The traces showed obviously that the trap had just been dug out. It was set right on their way.
Exactly speaking, the trap was set on her way.
Lan Cai’er lowered her eyes.
She had experienced a lot and become much calmer.
She took out a fire-inducing stick and threw it into the trap. A flashing fire was followed by cold light.
Right then, Lan Cai’er was surprised to find there were hundreds of sharp swords in the trap. She was suddenly sweating all over. If Sky Armor Mouse had not detected the trap, she would have fallen in and been stabbed to death by the numerous swords.
The trap setter... What vicious means!
Lan Cai’er flew into a rage instantly.
She did not go back immediately. Instead, she took off part of her sleeves and put it by the trap. Moreover, she left some footprints and untidied the hay on the trap to give the wrong impression that someone had fallen in.
After all these, Lan Cai’er ambushed beside to find out who on earth intended to hurt her.
After about 15 minutes, she heard a sound of footsteps ahead. There were 3 or 4 women dressed like mercenaries walking over.
“Considering the time, the ugly woman called Lan Lan should have arrived here. Let’s see whether she is trapped.”
“How dare she seduce Captain Sha? She is simply courting death.”
“If Xia Meng had not informed us, we would still be totally unaware of that.”
Lan Cai’er instantly realized that she had annoyed the adorers of Sha.
In terms of appearance, Yan Jiu was better than Dao Ge and Hong Yulang. He was second only to Feng Shen and Bo Qing. The point was that he knew how to please others (except Lan Cai’er) and was quite powerful. Lan Cai’er knew that Yan Jiu was quite popular when they were still in the City of Mercenaries.
But the affair between her and Sha happened just last night. How could it be known by these female soldiers so quickly?
Lan Cai’er could easily tell that someone in the two groups betrayed her.
Who wanted to kill her? Song Jingyun or the three sisters of the Xia Family?
The female soldiers had already approached the trap.
They were so pleased to see the hurried footsteps and a piece of cloth from women’s clothes hanging by the trap.
“The ugly monster has really fallen in. This time, she must be dead.
The trap opening was so dark that the female soldiers could not see what was in there. They were about to make a fire when two of them fell into the trap with a cry.
Two cries in the trap.
The other two reacted more quickly and they turned around to flee the moment they sensed something wrong.
At this time, a black mess jumped from the grass and kicked one of them into the trap in one move.
The remaining one looked back, only to find an ugly woman with a birthmark on the face waving a spiritual whip and tangling her ankles.
The female soldier wanted to fight back, but she found that she simply could not concentrate her Yuan energy.
The whip had been adjusted. It would stick out sharp thorns the moment it touched flesh and blood.
The thorns were full of anesthetic and could make one go numb in an instant. The whip was remade by Ye Lingyue after Lan Cai’er accepted her advice.
“You! How dare you kill me? My father is a member of the Alliance of Mercenaries and he will never let you go if he knows that.” Only then did the female soldier realize that she had been trapped by the ugly woman.
“So what? After you turn into a dead body, who cares about who your father is?” Lan Cai’er used force with her waist and rolled in with the whip the female soldier who weighed more than 50kg. The soldier was about to fall into the trap.
Lan Cai’er would show no mercy to women who wanted to kill her.
“No, please let me go. We just want to scare you. It’s... It’s the guest follower of the alliance Song Cheng that reminded us of setting the trap.” The female soldier was in great panic and told everything.
“Guest follower Song Cheng? We don’t even know each other. Why does he try to hurt me?” Lan Cai’er looked grim.
“I don’t know. Xia Meng told us that you slept with Vice-Captain Sha last night and that you would go out all alone for detection today. We just envied you so much and planned to teach you a lesson after catching you. But Song Cheng suddenly appeared and said that he would teach us something that could help us once and for all. He is the follower of Head Song. Moreover, Head Song and Lady Song favor him a lot. Then we had no option but to follow his advice.
For the sake of her life, the female soldier told everything she knew.
These female soldiers were not reckless enough to kill someone if it were not for the help of the people of Head Song. After all, Lan Cai’er was the member of Disha.
Di and Sha were big names in the City of Mercenaries.
Head Song... “Hehe.” Lan Cai’er sneered. It seemed that what happened between her and Dao Ge this morning had already been known by a fourth person.
That one might be Xia Meng or Song Jingyun.
When she knew that Dao Ge had a fiancée, Lan Cai’er guessed that the woman could not be nobody.
Back then, Lan Cai’er was so naive that she was easily trapped by that woman.
“I have told you everything. Now you can let me go.” The female soldier cried bitterly.
“Let you go? I did not say that.” Lan Cai’er put it bluntly and then moved the spiritual whip in hand. Then the female soldier fell into the trap.
There was a strong smell of blood within.
Lan Cai’er took long breaths and had an impulse to go on a killing spree in the City of Mercenaries. But she soon calmed down.
If Ye Lingyue knew about this scheme, she would in no way let go of Song Jingyun and Song Cheng.
For the moment, however, her and Ye Lingyue’s power were unable to help them fight against the Alliance of Mercenaries. So she must bear it.
Lan Cai’er drew a long breath and quickly recovered the trap to its original look. Then she continued to move ahead with Little Squeak and Sky Armor Mouse.
Not until Lan Cai’er walked afar did Yan Jiu step out.
He took a look at the trap and there was an overwhelming sense of anger in his eyes.
