Chapter 2019 - 2023: Assassin Attack
"What?"
Upon hearing Chen Jingsi’s words, Qin Tian was stunned, finally raising his head to look at Chen Jingsi and said, "Little girl, don’t talk nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense, my calculations say so."
Chen Jingsi earnestly replied to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian lowered his head, "How did you calculate that? You said the Pantheress will die, how will she die? When will she die? Aren’t you just cursing her?"
"I calculated it seriously, and I even thought she would become your wife, but unexpectedly, she will die tonight. It seems she’s just a passerby in your life..."
Swish!
Before Chen Jingsi could finish, Qin Tian had already walked two steps from the desk to her, staring at Chen Jingsi: "Little girl, what did you say? The Pantheress will die tonight? You must be joking!"
Chen Jingsi, looking at Qin Tian’s somewhat agitated eyes, replied, "I...I calculated it, she won’t survive the night..."
"Then tell me, when will she die?"
"Well, it’s too specific. I can only calculate that it will be tonight."
"And how will she die?"
"Hmm, let me see... It seems... an assassination, she will die from an assassination... She’ll be assassinated while bathing."
Swish!
Qin Tian was stunned, staring at Chen Jingsi.
He didn’t know if what this little witch said was true or false.
In the past, Qin Tian had heard Chen Jingsi "calculate" hundreds of times; although most times it was false, there were those ten times it turned out to be true.
So now Qin Tian didn’t know whether to believe Chen Jingsi’s "calculation" or not.
"Well, if you don’t believe me, forget it, hmph, my master’s a Grandmaster of Fate, predicting Destiny, you can’t understand..."
Seeing Qin Tian so serious, Chen Jingsi found it not fun, turned around and left.
Qin Tian remained frozen on the spot, checking the time; nine o’clock at night.
This is usually the time when the Spiritual Domain People bathe before sleeping!
"Should I go take a look?"
Qin Tian hesitated inside.
"Forget it, better believe it true than false, in case something really happens, the Southern Barbarians’ plan would be completely ruined!"
After a few seconds of contemplation, Qin Tian decided to go to the Pantheress’s palace to see for himself.
Qin Tian originally stayed in the Royal Palace of Leopard City and knowing where the Pantheress lived, he hurried there.
Since the Pantheress’s palace was heavily guarded, a direct approach would certainly lead to many questions and delays. If there really was an assassin, it would alert them, and it might also delay saving Yan Ruolan.
Therefore, after weighing his options, Qin Tian decided to stealthily infiltrate Yan Ruolan’s palace.
As he’d often been there these days, Qin Tian was very familiar with Yan Ruolan’s palace, especially knowing that her sleeping quarters were in a quiet courtyard at the back.
If Yan Ruolan was bathing at this time, the bathroom should definitely be near her sleeping quarters.
As the moonlight was hazy, Qin Tian stealthily moved forward, bypassing the maids on guard, reaching the rear side hall.
He saw a room beside the side hall with lights on.
Frowning, Qin Tian cautiously approached, sensing killing intent while still a dozen meters away!
This room was undoubtedly Yan Ruolan’s bathroom!
Outside Yan Ruolan’s defense, two female guards stood motionless at the door, completely petrified!
Qin Tian could see that these two must have been hypnotized by some mysterious drug.
Tensing up, Qin Tian quickly but cautiously approached Yan Ruolan’s bathroom, trying to avoid being discovered by the assassin.
Upon entering the first door, stopping at the second, through the crack, he saw the bathroom.
At that moment, Yan Ruolan sat inside the half-height bathtub, her jade back and fragrant shoulders exposed, surrounded by layers of Frost True Qi protecting her at the center!
Around the bathtub stood four black-clothed individuals, stationed at four different positions, continuously channeling True Qi, attempting to suppress Yan Ruolan’s Water Attribute True Qi!
Clearly, Yan Ruolan was using the water in the bathtub to form a Frost Barrier against the sudden attack from the four.
Moreover, it was evident that these four assassins suddenly appeared in Yan Ruolan’s bathroom, and their objective was not to kill her but to capture her alive!
In panic, Yan Ruolan, completely exposed, had no way to defend herself other than using the water from the bathtub to form a Defensive Barrier.
It seems both sides had already been in a standoff for some time, with sweat beads rolling down Yan Ruolan’s forehead and her lips turning pale.
"Huh?"
As Qin Tian leaned in closer, he suddenly sensed something unusual in the bathroom air, a warm, strange scent!
Instantly, Qin Tian realized—
There was a drug in the bathroom!
No wonder Yan Ruolan could only form a water attribute Defensive Barrier, as it was the only way to isolate herself from the poisonous space outside and defend!
It was the only resistance Yan Ruolan could come up with on short notice.
"This drug contains ingredients to stir a woman’s desire... Who on earth sent these assassins? The Wolf King of the Wolf Clan?"
Sensing the complex components within the drug, Qin Tian immediately thought of the Wolf King.
He had long known that the Wolf King had been coveting Yan Ruolan.
Now, with the intent not to kill but only to drug and capture her alive, only the Wolf King could be responsible.
Wearing a mask, Qin Tian calmed himself, and seeing the four assassins intensify their attack on Yan Ruolan, he suddenly dashed out and acted!
"Get out of here!"
Releasing four palm strikes, the four assassins, engaged in a stalemate with Yan Ruolan, never expected someone of exceptional skill to attack from the side suddenly.
With Qin Tian’s sudden move, he instantly knocked the four assassins to the ground!
The four assassins, adept with medicine, were evidently weaker in direct True Qi combat than Qin Tian had anticipated. Qin Tian followed up with four more strikes, killing three on the spot.
Intending to leave one alive, Qin Tian only severely injured the remaining one.
"Princess Yan, are you alright..."
Regaining his composure, Qin Tian stood by the bathtub, looking at Yan Ruolan inside, naked, causing him to momentarily lose his breath...
Due to Yan Ruolan’s continuous use of the water to form a Defensive Barrier, the water in the bathtub had nearly run out, leaving her entire delicate figure exposed before Qin Tian’s eyes...
