Chapter 478 - 478: Go Ask the King of Hell
With such swift movements, there was not a trace of reluctance or hesitation.
The gleam in Xiao Yan’s eyes disappeared along with Su Qian’s actions. At this moment, he looked at Su Qian in confusion, clearly not understanding why Su Qian was like this.
Su Qian could feel Xiao Yan’s disappointed gaze after being injured, she dared not meet his eyes. She pretended to be calm and said, “Thank you, Your Highness. It’s getting late. I should go back.”
After saying this, Su Qian immediately turned around and left without even bothering to take a map fragment.
Almost like fleeing, she returned to the Su family, back to her residence. Su Qian closed the door heavily and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
The courtyard was silent late at night. Su Qian could clearly feel Xiao Yan’s aura gradually approaching.
Soon, footsteps sounded outside, and Xiao Yan stood in front of the door.
“Qianqian.” Xiao Yan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Your Highness, it’s getting late. It’s inconvenient for Your Highness to stay here. Please go back,” Su Qian ordered him to leave without hesitation.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and touched the door before leaving in silence.
Hearing Xiao Yan’s departing footsteps, Su Qian raised her hand and touched her chest. She felt as if something was missing from her heart. For a moment, it felt a little empty, leaving her with a strange and indescribable discomfort.
Suppressing the impetuous feelings that surfaced in her heart, Su Qian turned around and opened the door.
A gentle breeze blew past, and Su Qian lowered her head to look at the ground. She happened to see the map fragment lying on the ground.
Her heart trembled involuntarily. Su Qian frowned and squatted down before picking up the map fragment from the ground.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan had left the map fragment behind in the end. Su Qian’s heart surged with an unprecedented complex feeling. In the end, she could only take a deep breath and put the map fragment away.
Just as Su Qian was about to turn around and return to her room to rest, a sharp killing intent swept over. In an instant, it shattered the air and created visible ripples in the air.
A chill rose from her back as a cold glint flashed across Su Qian’s phoenix eyes. She coldly looked behind her and saw a few sleeve arrows rapidly flying towards her back, viciously aiming at her heart!
Faced with such a childish attack, Su Qian only sneered coldly. Then, she raised her hand and swept it across the air. The red silk quickly tore through the air and hit the sleeve arrows on the ground with a crisp sound.
The corners of Su Qian’s lips curled up into a cold smile. The aura around her was arrogant and sharp. She narrowed her eyes coldly and keenly as she watched more than a dozen figures climb over the wall and surround the courtyard she was in.
At this moment, Su Qian leisurely squinted her eyes as if she had seen something interesting. She lightly tilted her head and asked, “Who are you?”
The leading man of the group had tanned skin. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes fiercely and said angrily to Su Qian, “Go to hell and ask the King of Hell!”
As soon as he finished speaking, these people’s figures turned into afterimages and rushed in Su Qian’s direction. They arrived in front of Su Qian in an instant and raised their hands. Their swords tore through the air and headed straight for Su Qian’s heart.
Su Qian easily dodged with a sway, her hand with the red silk spinning in the air. Then, it swiftly surged forward, as sharp as a blade, directly aiming at the man’s throat..
