Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

The old man, holding the antique jar he had just bought, reached out to open the door of the old shop, and as soon as he entered, he heard a loud bang!

"oops!"

The old man's hand slipped, and the jar fell to the ground and shattered. He looked at Jackie Chan and Jade with a displeased expression.

"Hmm, is it good that everything is safe and sound?"

Xiaoyu quickly hid the ceremonial cannon in her hand, then flashed a big, bright smile, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Dad, we bought you your favorite food. We know you don't like cake, but we still prepared it."

"The important thing about a cake is not how you eat it, but the sentiment behind it. Look, I made this cake myself."

Xiaoyu took her father's hand and led him into the old shop. He stood in front of the cake and looked at the words written on it.

Happy birthday, Dad! May you always be happy. And remember to come with me to the moose park next week—Xiaoyu.

"Dad, I've been busy with talismans lately and haven't had much time to spend with you."

"But today, let's sit down as a family and have a proper meal together."

Jackie Chan stepped forward and spoke.

"Okay, but Jackie Chan, there's one more thing. Go and clean up the broken cans by the door!"

The old man slapped Jackie Chan with a knife.

"I know, Dad."

Jackie Chan then showed a pitiful expression.

"Hahaha."

Xiaoyu laughed when she saw this, and everything returned to normal. The old shop was still as joyful as ever.

"Sigh, these antique jars are so old they break at the slightest touch."

The old man said.

"The antique may be old, but it's very valuable, just like Dad."

Xiaoyu spoke up.

"Dad always gets things wrong with cute little Yu. Okay, let's eat cake."

The old man looked at Xiaoyu. This grandniece always managed to say something that made him happy. Perhaps this is what they mean by the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren.

The dog, a symbol of immortality, was put away by Jackie Chan, because sometimes immortality is not as good as the present life.

If one relentlessly pursues external things, even if one obtains so-called immortality, the soul will be worn away in the long course of life, and one will become like a withered, rotten piece of wood!

The wise seek power within themselves, while the unwise seek power without.

[Dad: "Jackie Chan and Jade celebrated my birthday today. Ugh, I really can't stand that cake."]

[Dad: "Jackie Chan even got me... what, wear what?"]

【I'm not talking nonsense: "A fax machine?"】

[Dad: "Right, right, that fax machine, I have absolutely no idea how to use it, that thing just keeps beeping."]

"I'm not doing anything weird or crooked: Why do I have this feeling that the old man is showing off?"

[The Treasure Chest-Loving Elf: "Philon's birthday is coming up soon, should I give her a present?"]

【I'm not spouting nonsense: "Absolutely! The child you raise will be just like you. If you ignore their birthday, they'll be angry with you for a long time."】

【I'm not using any weird or unorthodox methods: "Could you stand being treated with silent treatment?"】

[The Treasure Chest Fairy: "Hmm, Philon is terrifying when she's angry, but what should I buy?"]

【I'm not spouting any weird ideas: I think giving a girl ice cream is the best way to celebrate her birthday; as long as she's full, that's enough.】

While Qin Qi was chatting with Frilian, Jing Ni was being chased again. For several days and nights, she had not rested and was constantly being pursued!

Even Jing Ni was somewhat exhausted. Her body was covered in mud and blood, yet she was still facing an enemy force that outnumbered her by dozens of times.

She still won, until another top-tier assassin appeared.

Chapter 81: The Number One Assassin, Yan Ri, You Have Nowhere to Escape, Heaven or Earth!

"Covering the sun."

When Jingni saw the sword in the other person's hand, she instantly recognized him as a fellow number one assassin.

However, Yan Ri's identity is even more mysterious, and even Jing Ni, who is also a top-ranking member, does not know Yan Ri's true identity.

"A net so tight it's impossible to escape."

"There is only one outcome after joining the Luo Wang: death! Either you die for the Luo Wang, or you are killed by the Luo Wang."

Yan Ri did not rush to make a move. He ordered his men to surround Jing Ni and then continued the attack.

One after another, people died at Jing Ni's hands, but Yan Ri remained unmoved; in his eyes, these people were not even human.

It was merely a tool he used to deal with Jing Ni; its only purpose was to wear down Jing Ni's stamina.

To make it easier for you to win over Jing Ni.

Jing Ni also noticed this, but she remained calm and charged towards Yan Ri at top speed.

At this moment, her only opponent among those present was Yan Ri; the others were merely tools to wear her down.

The battle will only truly end when the Sun-Shrouding enemy is defeated!

"Yin prevails over Yang, and darkness obscures the sun in the daytime!"

Suddenly, the Yanri Sword in Yanri's hand burst out with a dazzling red light, and Jingni instantly lost sight of it. In an instant, the two clashed!

After a while.

Jing Ni has a new wound on her body, and she can't see anything for the time being. The strange red light has temporarily blinded her.

However, even without sight, she still has hearing, smell, touch, and fighting instincts!

"As expected of the number one assassin, even after losing his sight, he can still launch a counterattack in a very short time."

"But you are ultimately just one person. After being chased for three days and three nights, how much strength do you have left?"

"I still have dozens of people here for you to kill. Can you kill them all?"

“Jing Ni, you are quite good, so we are willing to make an exception and give you a chance to surrender and return to serve Luo Wang.”

"That way you can survive '660'."

Yan Ri didn't seem to care about the lives of the other assassins at all when he spoke, and in fact, that was the case.

The lives of the other assassins were utterly insignificant.

"........."

“Since joining Luo Wang, I have never done anything for myself. My life consists of nothing but missions.”

"Born for the mission, and dying for the mission, just like the Jingni sword in my hand, I am merely a sharp sword in the hands of the Luo Wang."

"But I'm tired. I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. I want to do things my own way."

"You probably don't understand what I'm saying, so forget it. There's no need to say more. Language is just a tool you use to kill people anyway."

Jing Ni held her breath. Yan Ri had started poisoning her while she was speaking, and now the air was filled with poisonous mist.

As long as you open your mouth to speak or breathe, you will inhale these poisonous fumes and then completely lose your ability to fight.

"Kill her."

Yan Ri's tone was icy. Now that Jing Ni had discovered it, there was no need for pretense anymore. He directly ordered the assassins around him to continue.

He himself hid like a venomous snake, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

The battle continues! The moon in the sky is also obscured by clouds, and the world has turned completely dark!

"Huh? It's raining?"

Yan Ri suddenly felt something drip onto his head. He reached up and wiped it off, then glanced at it and instantly felt a chill run down his spine!

It wasn't rain! It was blood! As the clouds drifted by and the moonlight shone down, the scene in the forest was revealed to everyone.

Those dozens of assassins from the Luo Wang organization all turned into a rain of blood in the sky! And in front of Jing Ni, a man stood there quietly.

The other person remained calm, quietly watching Yan Ri.

"When did this person appear?!"

"How did he kill so many assassins from the Luo Wang organization in such a short time!"

"Did he spot me? Or not?!"

Hiding from the sun, he felt that Qin Qi's gaze was like a Damocles' sword hanging over his head!

It could take your life at any moment, but it never comes!

For some reason, he started to panic! Yan Ri, who had long since disregarded his life, was now filled with fear!

This is not inner fear, but a fear that stems from biological instinct, a fear that originates from the soul!

Herbivores are naturally afraid of carnivores, and this is exactly what happened to Yan Ri.

He felt like he had become the prey of the man in front of him!

........................

"Mr. Qin Qi?"

Jingni was still blind. She noticed that her surroundings had suddenly become quiet, and she felt as if there was someone in front of her.

That person gave him a very familiar feeling, a relaxed and comfortable feeling, and a sense of security.

"I thought you wouldn't last more than a day."

Qin Qi reached out and brushed his hand across Jing Ni's eyes. In an instant, her eyes, which had been temporarily blinded by the red light, were restored.

Jingni opened her eyes and looked at Qin Qi in front of her, acting like a child who had made a mistake.

Not knowing what to do or what to say, he just lowered his head and remained silent.

"What are you doing by staying silent? Are you giving me the silent treatment?"

Qin Qi spoke.

"No, I just don't know what to say. I was deceiving you and Miss Yuki-onna from the very beginning, and I am ashamed."

Jing Ni spoke up. What could she say now? To say she was an assassin, to say she had forgotten her identity—that was a lie.

She couldn't say that her life during this period was a lie; she couldn't say anything at all.

"You think you've fooled us, but have you ever considered that we're just too lazy to ask?"

"Everyone in this world has their own secrets, just like the Snow Woman never asked me why I was wanted by the Seven Kingdoms."

"Sometimes it's good to be confused, but that doesn't mean we don't know, we're just too lazy to ask."

Qin Qi reached out and ruffled Jing Ni's hair: "Didn't you always say you wanted to live an ordinary life? The first step to an ordinary life is to learn to be lazy."

"Put aside everything else, and think about what you most want to do right now?"

"What I want to do most is eat. I haven't eaten for days, and I feel so hungry."

Jing Ni thought about many things, such as wanting to live an ordinary life, wanting to escape the pursuit of Luo Wang, and wanting Qin Qi and Xue Nu to forgive her.

But if she could put all these troublesome things out of her mind and stop thinking about them, all she wanted right now was a bowl of porridge.

A bowl of blood-nourishing porridge, cooked by Qin Qi and with some sweet ingredients.

"Take off your mask. There's nothing to hide. Life is like this, and so are you."

"After all, you are still very beautiful, there is no need to hide it."

Qin Qi spoke.

Jing Ni reached out and touched the cold mask on her face. She looked at Qin Qi again, then reached out and took off the mask.

The face beneath the mask was still beautiful, only now it looked paler and more tired.
