Adorable Creature Attacks! The Beauty Surrenders! Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Our first little a.s.sa.s.sin buddy!

"Am I not allowed to come here?" Jia Qizhe laughed, "Since we're leaving tonight, I planned to view the scenery one last time……"

Gu Qingyu stood beside Jia Qizhe and watched the jewel-green ripples on the crystal clear water, "If we can leave, then that's for the best……"

"You have medical expertise?" Jia Qizhe randomly asked out of the blue.

Gu Qingyu blankly nodded, "Juuuust……a liiiiitle bit……"

"Can you guarantee that you can cure that person's master?" He asked again.

"……No." Gu Qingyu replied, "I don't trust my medical skills, but I have my methods if he's suffering from some mental disorder.

"Mental disorder?" Jia Qizhe stared at Gu Qingyu, as if she was joking around, "You can cure mental disorders?"

"Kind of." Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes, "I was after all a famous psychiatrist in the modern era!"

She stayed and chatted with Jia Qizhe for a bit, before returning to her room.

The night descended.

Gu Qingyu put on a black suit, and left together with Little Qi to that crooked tree, while utilizing the swiftness of her cat form.

No one picked up their tracks, because Little Qi also knew a thing or two about magic.

Just as they reached the meeting point after avoiding a group of guards through difficulties, Jia Qizhe and Qi Yichen seemed to have already arrived for some time.

"This is?" Qi Yichen looked at Little Qi.

"Ohh! My friend, she's joining us on this journey! Qi Yichen……Is it ok?" After all, Qi Yichen had to agree to it first.

Qi Yichen nodded, "Of course she can, if she's your friend……"

Since the both of them left together, the master-servant relations.h.i.+p between her and Little Qi was no longer existent, everyone was equal, that's why she told Qi Yichen that Little Qi was her friend——Because, it was also the truth.

Little Qi gratefully glanced at Gu Qingyu.

Qi Yichen gently smiled, "Let's go."

"……Ok." Gu Qingyu nodded.

Everyone lightly jumped up on the wall.

Exactly at this moment, Second Miss of Gu Manor entered Gu Qingyu's room. Gu Qingyu left a candle still burning in her room, because she wanted to trick them into believing she was still in there.

The Second Miss climbed in through the windows. She took out a dagger from her sleeves, and stabbed towards the bed.

However, she quickly noticed that it was empty. Taken aback, she lifted the bed sheets, then very carefully put back the dagger into her sleeves. After all this, she feigned panic and ran out, "Help! Little sister is missing!"

Gu Qingyu faintly sighed as she witnessed everything from the wall, "Thank goodness that we're leaving tonight……Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would've been lying there covered in blood, unknowingly……"

Qi Yichen looked at Gu Qingyu with concern, he thought she wouldn't feel at ease after seeing it all, however the reality was completely different——

"Finally, let's leave!" Gu Qingyu exhaled a breath and jumped down, "Hurry up, hurry up~"

"……" Qi Yichen silently jumped down as well, Little Qi and Jia Qizhe followed suit.

Before long, the stepping sounds of incoming guards could be heard from the other side of the wall.

"Where's Third Miss?"

"I don't know! Spread around and search!"

"We're doomed if we can't find her!"

Gu Qingyu sympathized with these people, she hesitated a bit, but continued on in the end.

They arrived at an inn, outside the city.

"Excuse us," Gu Qingyu and the others entered the inn, looking all worn out. As they sat down, she imitated some people in those historical dramas, "Four……no wait, two rooms!"

She switched to two rooms because she felt it was better to save money whenever they could, even though she did bring some from home, "……Mm, and also some food please."

"Coming!" The inn waiter seemed very enthusiastic, and quickly served up a bowl of hot steamed buns and a couple of side dishes, "Beloved customers, please enjoy! Your rooms have been prepared as well!"

"Thank you." Jia Qizhe lightly said in a calm tone.

Everyone ate and drank their fill until satisfied.

"I thought that we could save some money if I shared a room with Little Qi, while you share one with Qi Yichen!" Gu Qingyu awkwardly scratched her head.

Jia Qizhe and Qi Yichen nodded, and didn't comment any further.

Everyone returned to their rooms.

Gu Qingyu blew out the light, and laid on the bed with Little Qi. 

She stared at the dark surroundings, after a long while, she couldn't help but ask, "Little Qi, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, Miss……" Her crisp voice was very pleasant to the ears.

"From now on, stop calling me 'Miss', just directly call me Little Yu." Gu Qingyu laughed, "We're friends!" She thought for a moment, then asked, "Little Qi, can you tell me your full name?"

"Little……Little Yu, my family name is Xun, my full name is Xun Qi."

"Mmhm, it's so pretty!" Gu Qingyu was very happy, Little Qi was her first friend in this place……

"Mm……" Little Qi faintly smiled.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by the windows, moving towards the next door.

Since Gu Qingyu was staring outside through the windows, plus her enchanted night vision, she immediately sat up and put on her clothes and shoes.

"Little Yu, what's going on?" Little Qi looked at Gu Qingyu.

"Someone entered Jia Qizhe's room!" After putting on her shoes, together with Little Qi, they put their ears next to the wall, trying to listen to what's happening there.

Little Qi wasn't able to hear anything as the sound proof in this inn appeared to be very good. However, being a cat demon, Gu Qingyu had very keen senses, so she could faintly hear……Someone was fighting!!

Gu Qingyu told Little Qi, "You stay here, I'll go and help our neighbors!"

"What's happening?" Little Qi asked, as she couldn't hear anything.

"Just wait for me." Gu Qingyu immediately left to Jia Qizhe's room as soon she finished her sentence. She kicked in the door without giving it a second-thought, "QIZHE, YICHEN, I*M HERE TO SAVE……" yoooooooou……

She choked on the saliva from her last word, and saw a black-clothed person lying on the floor……

Am I stupid? Why did I even rush here! How could I forget for a split-second that they were two experts?!

Qi Yichen gave Gu Qingyu a look and faintly smiled at her, "You arrived…just a tiiiiiny bit too late."

"……" Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes, and felt a clown inside out, "What's going on? Someone wants to kill you?"

Jia Qizhe was about to say something, but in this instant, the black-clothed person rose and leaped towards Gu Qingyu with a dagger in his hand!!
