Bab 116: The Royal Princess (22)

Princess Rong Hua sank into the water after struggling for a while. The water's surface soon evened out again.

"I've satisfied your request, Royal Princess, now can you give me the painting?"

"Of course." Ming Shu agreed readily.

Ming Shu passed the painting to Qi Hongwei, and the latter hurriedly reached out to take it. However, before he touched the painting, several dark figures suddenly jumped out of the water, trying to grab the painting.

Qi Hongwei had to give up the painting first. He and the figures in black had trapped each other. Ming Shu stepped back to the edge of the boat with the painting, and suddenly a whoosh sounded from behind her. She bent down out of reflex.

It was Cheng Jinyun. She appeared out of nowhere once more. After failing to land the first strike, she quickly dropped to the ground opposite of Ming Shu, staring at her with cold eyes. "Give me the painting."

"Why?" Ming Shu smiled and provoked, "You wish."
