Section 449

Seeing the scene at the doorway,

his eyes widened.

He saw Yan Wumei come out after finishing cooking, shyly and timidly welcoming Xu Hao inside.

The cold and arrogant underground queen acted just like a virtuous wife and good mother, or a young girl about to be married off.

She was clearly prepared to offer herself.

The thought of the exquisitely beautiful Yan Wumei about to be taken by Xu Hao

made Luo Yan's heart ache to the point of breathlessness.

No…

He rushed toward the villa recklessly.

Even though his strength hadn't recovered and he wasn't a match for Xu Hao,

he still had to disrupt the two of them.

To watch Yan Wumei compromise and make some kind of agreement with Xu Hao due to threats,

Luo Yan could not do it.

However——

just as he was about to rush into the villa,

a figure in red suddenly flashed from the side.

A kick landed squarely on his stomach.

The newcomer was extremely fast, and coupled with Luo Yan's lack of defense and unrecovered strength,

he took this kick off guard.

"Late Stage of Transformation Realm."

Luo Yan's body flew backward through the air as he sensed the aura coming from the opponent.

It was even stronger than his own Peak period.

Damn it…

Wasn't Xu Hao just in the Transformation Realm?

How could there still be a Late Stage of Transformation Realm expert protecting him?

He remembered that the bodyguard by Xu Hao's side was only at the Dark Realm.

Where did this guy pop out from?

To think he still believed that even without his strength recovered, he could stop Xu Hao and Yan Wumei.

It seemed he had thought too much.

Being blocked outside by a Late Stage of Transformation Realm expert,

entering the door was simply impossible.

He couldn't even get close to the two of them, so how could he disrupt them?

If he couldn't disrupt them, could he only watch as Yan Wumei was completely devoured by Xu Hao?

Boom——

Luo Yan crashed heavily onto the ground.

That kick was not light; he felt as though his internal organs were about to be displaced.

Waves of excruciating, heart-wrenching pain washed over him.

No…

He couldn't give up.

Yan Wumei was currently bewitched and was about to offer herself to Xu Hao, and of her own free will at that.

The only one who could pull her out of this fiery pit was himself.

If even he gave up,

Yan Wumei would only plunge into the abyss.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Yan propped his body up.

He raised his head and coldly looked at the person who had knocked him flying.

It was a figure in red.

Luo Yan froze, his expression extremely colorful.

"Red Rose, how could it be you?"

He recognized the person in front of him; they came from the same assassin training camp.

Her strength was no weaker than his, and perhaps even stronger.

Wasn't Red Rose in the Dark World?

How could she appear here?

And working for Xu Hao?

No…

Red Rose wasn't working for Xu Hao.

With Red Rose's yandere personality, she would definitely never submit to anyone else.

It was because of an inexplicable hatred toward him.

She had come to kill him again.

Just how deep was this grudge and resentment?

He had already returned to the city, yet this Red Rose had chased him all the way from the Dark World to assassinate him.

The two of them had a long-standing feud.

It started back during the assassin training camp evaluations.

The two of them tied for first place.

Ever since then, he had been inexplicably pestered by this yandere.

To be fair, Red Rose's appearance and beauty were on the same level as Yan Wumei and his little aunt.

And as long as they were pretty women, he liked them all.

Yet he wished he could stay far, far away from Red Rose.

Because she was a yandere.

Every time she sought him out, it meant fighting and killing.

She was truly trying to kill him.

He had almost died at this woman's hands several times.

The reason Luo Yan accepted the mission to return to the country was, besides visiting his little aunt, also to avoid this top-tier female assassin.

He hadn't expected her to track him down anyway…

Luo Yan felt the pain subside.

He slowly crawled up from the ground.

With a solemn expression, he said,

"Red Rose, I have something urgent right now and don't have time to fight you. Step aside."

Even during his Peak period, he could only barely exchange blows with Red Rose, and usually, running away was his primary strategy when they met.

Now that his strength was impaired,

he had even less chance of winning.

Red Rose remained unmoved, standing quietly in front of the villa and blocking his path.

Luo Yan's expression turned ugly.

"Red Rose, you must be able to see that my strength is currently impaired. Taking advantage of someone's precarious position is not your style."

He began to reason with her and appeal to her emotions.

"How about this? Once my strength recovers, we'll have a thorough, hearty fight…"

"If you kill me then, I won't have a single word of complaint and can only blame myself for being inferior in skill."

"Although I don't know where I offended you, considering our years of getting to know each other through blows, can you please let me pass?"

Red Rose still remained silent.

Luo Yan found it somewhat strange.

From Red Rose's eyes, he saw hatred, pain, anger… a mixture of various emotions intertwining.
