Chapter 20: The Man Behind the Scenes

  "Hahaha! You bunch of inferior trash, disappear completely! Your existence is nothing but an eyesore to me!" The flames in his hand suddenly grew larger, and Red Lotus lost control like a crazed beast, laughing wildly as he launched an even more ferocious attack.

  "Halt!" The one behind the scenes could no longer bear it and shouted out loud, revealing his figure.

  The wantonly destructive Red Lotus suddenly felt a fierce killing intent, and before she could react, she was entwined by the suddenly appearing rattan strips, pulled down from mid-air, and pinned to the ground.

  "Cruel mage, go die!" Suddenly, a figure darted out from the woods, grasping a sharp sword and stabbing at Leng Qingchen.

  About to pierce through his chest.

  Suddenly, a wall of flame appeared, melting the treasure sword and widening the girl's eyes.

  How could it be possible that a precious sword as sharp as iron would melt away so easily?

  She hadn't recovered from the huge shock yet, when Honglian suddenly appeared in front of her, his large hands quickly and tightly grasping her neck, lifting her entire body up.

  With a strenuous glance sideways, there were still these unburned sparks on the ground, and the rattan was only left with fragments.

  It's truly a crushing defeat, the girl closed her eyes and waited for death to arrive.

  "Honglian, wait." A voice stopped Honglian, and Leng Qingchen signaled him to put the person down. "I still have questions for her." This mission still needed her help.

  She snorted and let go reluctantly, disappearing in a huff.

  "You..." Leng Qingchen walked closer to the girl, looking down at her with an air of superiority, having only just uttered a single word "you".

  "Dear Dust~" A female voice, full of surprise and excitement, came from afar and near. Cold Light Dust's body shook involuntarily, and before he could even turn his head, he was tightly hugged by Beigong Ruocheng who rushed over.

  "Dust, I'm so worried about you, it's good that you're okay... Did you know that when you suddenly disappeared, I thought..." The tone became lower and lower, until it turned into a sob. Cold Light Dust only felt the arm around his neck holding him tighter, and an icy water droplet slid in, making Cold Light Dust stop moving to push away Beigong Roujing's hand.

  Who would have thought that this fearless and shameless girl, with a face thicker than city walls, would also have moments of nervousness.
