Kapitel 46: To Live

Yen Mìngjue cringed at Gao Lan Mei's last shout to distract the enemy. 'This young woman, what did she do to offend someone to the extent of hiring assassins?' He thought to himself with a smirk.

Nevertheless, her actions were simply too different from her previous life. He would never have thought that she had this side to her.

He faced palmed from far away. 'So blunt. So straight forward. So shameless! Two thumbs up!'

Though he approved, he still needed to hold his good image, "Cough, Xiao Meimei, it's not appropriate to shout a man's private part as a young miss." his tone reprimanding.

The man who was now kneeling on the ground while trying to recover from humiliation glared at Gao Lan Mei despite his concern to look for the other being who just spoke.

Gao Lan Mei smirked and thought to herself, 'Hehe, there's no holding back when survival is involved, you also told me that before.' She was already too exhausted to banter with the small black snake.

Growing up without following any specific rules of conduct and now living on the mortal realm, she could only depend on the memories of the original Gao Lan Mei, since she was also not interested in reading such things before.

"Hmmm..." She would just need to agree; humor death sometimes. Anyway, he had a point, if relating to being proper, but that was not applicable for now.

The second assassin was still kneeling on the ground, trying to recover from the excruciating pain of the last hit, sadly this rendered him quite useless, at that moment and hopefully not in the future.

'Hopefully not…' Or no more descendants for him. Though in so much pain, he still gave Gao Lan Mei a death glare, who seemed to not care at all. That also goes for the two beings with him who just wanted to finish their task of killing the Gao young miss and get the hell out of the place.

Gao Lan Mei picked up the short sword that was discarded by the second assassin, "I never liked spilling blood on my courtyard," then glared at the other two.

There was no other choice, the first assassins' hand was cut to stop the poison from spreading to his body. There was a lot of blood coming out from the wound.

They lost and almost felt cornered which did not make any sense. How?! Why?!

Remaining alert for any movement from Gao Lan Mei, the third assassin was preparing to attack, but was stopped by his heavily injured companion, shaking his head, "Don't, is not right."

"Of course," The voice that they were trying to look for since earlier answered.

After saying this, Yen Mìngjue's cut psomething awn slithered on the ground. This was not missed by the two assassins near it.

The small brown snake that was cut into three parts moved, bubbling substances appeared on all ends, slowly extending and stopping at some point once its form was complete.

One part was missing, a tail, then the bubbling substance produced it a tail. The other parts were missing a head, then, they were given a head.

Shhhh!

Hiss!

The originally one snake, turned into a three separate snakes, making the enemies face pale further when they saw what happened.

From experience, they knew that the venom from this snake was strong and quick to spread. The first assassin was barely able to survive from one snake, what more three?!

"You just realized that something was wrong? How does being a normal mortal feel?" She would never fight if there was no chance of winning. So far, she did not have any suicidal tendencies.

The third assassin tried to condense spiritual energy, "What did you do to us?!" it was true, he was not able to gather an ounce of spiritual energy. All of them felt scared!

What about the others? Were they also helpless like him?

Gao Lan Mei looked at them sharply, "I did what needed to be done to live!"
