Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 626 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (12)

It was almost the third day when Shen Shuyi started to feel unwell. She gritted her teeth, jumped out of the window, and caught up with Xie Xinghe.

As night fell, the entire inn became eerily quiet.

Those upright people who ate the spiked food slept like pigs, while the waiters at the shady inn dropped their pretense and started "working" with their tools.

Shen Shuyi came to Xie Xinghe's side and watched him remove the tile.

The shop assistant who had brought them hot water earlier that day was sharpening a large cleaver in the kitchen. The sound of it gave Shen Shuyi goosebumps.

Several burly men in black were talking below.

"Are they all under the influence of the drugs?"

"Don't worry, we've done so many deals, there won't be any problems."

"Hehe, the guests staying at the inn this time are all big fat sheep. Look at their swords, their clothes, and their carriages."

"Anyway, be careful. Several of them are top disciples of prestigious sects, and their martial arts are extraordinary."

"Don't you trust me to handle things? Just because they know martial arts, I added extra drugs. Even if I cut off their hands or feet, they're guaranteed not to wake up."

"Let's go! Let's get to work. We can't let the other brothers do all the work; we have to lend a hand too."

Just as they were about to leave the kitchen, Shen Shuyi saw Xie Xinghe leap down from the roof, enter through the window, and finish off the person.

Shen Shuyi discovered that Xie Xinghe's sword was incredibly fast, like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, the villain fell to the ground.

She gave Xie Xinghe a thumbs up, "Great job! Be careful, don't get hurt, I don't want to be implicated by you."

Xie Xinghe glanced back at her, then disappeared into the dimly lit kitchen.

He was a disciple of the righteous sect; how could he stand by and watch someone be killed by villains?

Shen Shuyi snorted and followed up, "66, just how many thugs are in this shady shop?"

[There are at least ten more, but not all the people staying at the shady inn were drugged. Su Qingyao and Shi Zhengchun had a fight because of you, and they're currently arguing in bed and making up before they've even had a chance to eat.]
Shen Shuyi was speechless.

[Host, some harem novels rely on pushing and pushing to advance the plot. Su Qingyao was the first to be added to the harem, the next one will be Yin Qianrou, and so on.]
"Alright alright."

Actually, besides Shi Zhengchun and Su Qingyao, there were one or two other fellow disciples who didn't eat much because they weren't used to the local environment. When the villains came in to behead them, they panicked and ran away, shouting for help as they fled.

"Big Brother!"

"This is a rip-off! Let's run!!!"

When Shi Zhengchun reached a critical moment, he suddenly faltered.

Su Qingyao bit her lip, and the two hurriedly dressed, grabbed their swords, and went out.

The entire shady shop erupted in chaos, filled with the deafening sounds of fighting.

Shi Zhengchun reunited with his fellow disciples who hadn't yet been drugged, and they were all extremely anxious.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

"Most of my junior brothers and sisters have been drugged and knocked unconscious. The people from the black market are very skilled, and we are outnumbered and outmatched."

Shi Zhengchun frowned deeply. "What else can we do? We must fight our way out!"

"But...but they're still unconscious in the side room."

Are they supposed to abandon their fellow disciples and run away?
Shi Zhengchun was also in a terrible predicament; he had never encountered anything like this before.

"Let's take it one step at a time!" Several men drew their swords and went out to fight the men in black.

Suddenly, Shi Zhengchun and the others saw Xie Xinghe's sword energy surging, and Miss Shen fighting back to back with him, wielding a long whip. The two worked closely together and killed all the black-clad men who rushed over.

Shi Zhengchun was completely stunned. Wasn't Miss Shen supposed to have low martial arts skills?
Seeing Shi Zhengchun's gaze fixed on the girl in the red dress, Su Qingyao couldn't suppress her jealousy and drew her sword, rushing out as well.

What the girl in the red dress can do, she can do too!

She was taken hostage by men in black as soon as she rushed out.
"Ah—Shi Lang, save me!"

The battle was fierce, with screams echoing throughout.

The head of the shady inn pressed a blood-stained knife against Su Qingyao's neck and roared, "Put down your swords, or I'll kill her!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect immediately stopped, but Shen Shuyi still managed to take down one of the men in black with each whip.

The ruthless innkeeper, looking menacing, shouted, "Put down the whip!"

"Stop if you don't want her to die!"

Shi Zhengchun hurriedly called out to Shen Shuyi, "Miss Shen, Miss Shen, please stop!"

Shen Shuyi glanced at him indifferently, then raised her hand and hooked her long whip around the neck of another man in black, twisting him and sending him crashing onto the wooden stairs on the second floor.

With a scream, the black-clad thug died with his eyes wide open.

This action thoroughly enraged the people at the shady shop, and Su Qingyao's neck began to bleed.

"Shi Lang, Shi Lang, save me!"

Su Qingyao really hated this woman surnamed Shen. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been kidnapped by the thugs!

Hopefully, after this experience, Shi Lang will see the true colors of this wicked woman and won't be blinded by her again!

Shi Zhengchun panicked and raised his voice, "Shu'er! Please save Qingyao!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi's hand trembled, and with a "crack," the long whip claimed the life of another thug.

She got goosebumps. The original owner of this body hadn't told Shi Zhengchun her true identity, only that her surname was Shen, her given name was Shu, and she was an orphan who had come to the city to find her relatives after suffering hardship.
Therefore, Shi Zhengchun always thought the original owner's name was Shen Shu, and naturally did not know that she was Shen Shuyi, the Holy Maiden of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Knowing the truth, Xie Xinghe's gaze towards Shen Shuyi turned even colder, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect were startled and quickly said, "Miss Shen, we are disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect. If you are willing to lend a helping hand, we will reward you handsomely. We hope you will put down your whip."

Shen Shuyi smiled faintly, "We are all martial artists. Putting down our weapons is equivalent to handing our lives over to others. I have no relation to her, so why should I cooperate with you?"

"Besides, who told her to run away so recklessly?"

Shi Zhengchun said helplessly, "Shu'er, Qingyao just wanted to help; she couldn't bear to see the person who had been drugged harmed."

"Making things worse?" If you're not capable, don't step in and cause trouble, okay?

Shen Shuyi interrupted him, "Don't call me Shu'er anymore. How dare you call me Shu'er?"

Shi Zhengchun was heartbroken, but also relieved. It turned out that Shu'er was jealous. Even sharing a room with Xie Xinghe was a way to provoke him and make him care more about Shu'er.

"Shu'er, don't be angry. Right now, the most important thing is to save Qingyao."

This scene, as Su Qingyao saw it, was tantamount to Shen Shu and Shi Zhengchun flirting, and she was furious.

"Whether she lives or dies is none of her business, Shi Lang, don't beg her!"

"I am incapable, I have failed to help you all, but... but I meant well, and now I've been kidnapped by thugs."

Shen Shuyi was speechless. "Su Qingyao, if you don't have the ability, you should just stay out of the spotlight."

"Today, they were threatened by thugs and dropped their swords for your sake. If it weren't for me and Xie Xinghe having weapons, do you think these people who surrendered for your sake would still be alive?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Blade Sect disciples who had dropped their weapons for Su Qingyao looked at each other in bewilderment, caught in a dilemma. They wanted to pick up their weapons but were too embarrassed, and they were also afraid that the villains would actually attack.

Su Qingyao burst into tears. She retorted, "I didn't tell them they had to save me!"

Alright, even the big tiger has been scared away by the ungrateful wretch.

The disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect quickly picked up their long swords, completely enraging the thugs at the black market.

"We don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Don't make any rash moves, or I really will kill her!"

Shen Shuyi didn't waste any words with them, wielding her long whip with practiced ease, unstoppable in its path.

Su Qingyao felt she was going to die. On the verge of death, she pulled out a handful of poison powder and smeared it on the face of the black shop boss.

"what--"
