บท 112: The Scum Is A Bookworm

"XI NING!" Xi Ming screamed as he immediately flew to the stage and picked her up before dodging Shan Lu's sword while carrying her. A large crack formed on the ground where Xi Ning was standing a second earlier. If Shan Lu's sword would have struck her... Xi Ming didn't dare to imagine what would happen. "Are you alright?" he asked Xi Ning as they landed on the opposite side of the stage. 

Xi Ning's face is deathly pale and she's shaking in fear. She shrank in Xi Ming's arms. "D-da.. da ge..." she called, her voice trembling and weak. 

"What happened? I can't see through the smoke!" the audience complained. 

"Someone jumped in the stage!" from another side who saw Xi Ming said. 

"Did the woman die?!" some people asked in worry after they saw Shan Lu's sword descended.
