CH 13.1
13. Fierce Beast (1)
There was another person walking on the other side of the woods. The other party seemed to be very vigilant. He stopped immediately when he heard Yu Qingjia’s voice. After looking around in circles, he also saw Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan. After Seeing that they were two young people, he was startled, and then walked over slowly.
“Two young friends, are you also going to Xisong Town to stay overnight?”
“Xisong Town?” Yu Qingjia, didn’t care that the two were in a cold war again, turned around and pulled Murong Yan’s sleeve in surprise, “There are towns here!”
Murong Yan’s eyes calmly and wavelessly looked at the opposite person slowly approaching at the other side, and gave a casual “Hmm“.
After approaching, the hunter found that these were two outrageously beautiful and young girls. In fact, one of them, he’s not sure whether a boy or a girl, but based on the other soft and beautiful girl’s movements, she should also be a woman. The hunter smiled nervously and greeted them warmly, “Xisong Town is very close to here. Many caravans settle there with us, and it is usually very lively. If the two ladies don’t know the way, why don’t I take you there?”
Yu Qingjia’s eyes instantly lit up and she turned back to see Murong Yan’s opinion about it. He nodded gently and said, “Sure, sorry for the bother.”
The hunter smiled nervously and said, “No worries.” while turning around and leading them out of the forest. Along the way, the hunter kept asking where they came from and why they’re coming to Xisong Town. It was impossible to expect Murong Yan to talk to him, so Yu Qingjia had to pick up what she could say, with half-truths and half-lies to put together a story.
As they walked, there were more and more traces of human and animal activities around them. The hunter suddenly gave out a loud groan, and embarrassedly said, “The two ladies wait a moment, I’ll go relieve myself.”
Yu Qingjia blushed, awkwardly and did not know what to say. On the contrary, Murong Yan smiled kindly and nodded, “Okay.”
As soon as the other party turned around, Yu Qingjia couldn’t even react, she suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of them. A green arrow suddenly pierced through the hunter’s back. He turned his head back in disbelief, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said through gritted teeth, “You, you…”
But before he could finish his sentence, he already fell violently to the ground, twitched twice and lost his breath.
Yu Qingjia stared at him with wide eyes, unable to move for a long time. Murong Yan stood on the side and watched indifferently. He then stepped forward to examine the body, and made sure that the hunter was completely dead. When he passed by, Yu Qingjia suddenly grabbed his arm, “What are you doing?”
“We still have pursuers behind us, and he saw us. We have to silence him, in order to stop him from inadvertently revealing our whereabouts later.”
She looked at him incredulously, even though she had already been exposed to his cold-blooded nature, but just now he did not even blink when he released that arrow to shoot that hunter. It made her feel very terrible.
“You killed him just because he saw us and might betray us later?”
Murong Yan also stared back calmly. This is just one of the possibilities, perhaps the pursuers sent by the emperor will not find this place, perhaps his judgment is wrong, but since he knows that there is such a risk, then why let it exist? Dead people are the safest, and as long as he kills them, they don’t even have to take that risk.
In fact, Murong Yan had no intentions of killing him at the beginning. A hunter heading inside the forest at sunset is not unusual. But when he saw how that hunter was looking at Yu Qingjia, he knew that he must die.
There is no other reason, and no need for one.
Murong Yan stopped a step away from the hunter’s body, then picked his clothes up using the short knife he took from the previous assassin. And sure enough, he found a lot of suspicious objects on the other party’s arms. So this hunter really led them here, without any good intentions, perhaps, he is not even a hunter at all.
After Yu Qingjia saw those things being dropped on the ground, her heart immediately understood. She’s afraid that this hunter is not really a good person, he just excused himself earlier, maybe he wanted to take advantage of their lack of vigilance to attack them. During troubled times, two young, weak and beautiful girls are alone on the road, they will be an easy target.
She knows that this hunter’s death was not wrong, and she’s afraid that he had already taken the lives of several innocent women. But she also knows that these are two different things. It is a coincidence that this hunter’s hands are not clean. However, even if he was replaced by really ordinary villagers, Murong Yan can also do the same thing and kill them.
This place was deliberately chosen by the hunter to commit the crime, but instead it was able to save Murong Yan the trouble of disposing his corpse. He pulled out his arrows, and wiped out the traces, before heading outside the forest.
The hunter was right, there is indeed a really small town at the foot of the mountain, although not prosperous, but there are all kinds of inns, and marketplace. It’s suitable enough to settle in for a while.
Yu Qingjia was inexperienced when it came to these kinds of things, so she let Murong Yan lead the way and walked to what looked like the best equipped inn in town. As soon as she and Murong Yan appeared at the entrance of the inn, they attracted countless attention.
Human lives are not worth much during chaotic times, but everyone still pursues beauty. There was once a frail male who was killed and persecuted by the public because of his beauty. On a normal day, seeing a beauty is enough to cause a sensation, let alone two beauties appearing together. If it weren’t for Murong Yan exuding an aura of “Don’t come here seeking for Death”, the inn would have already collapsed.
Yu Qingjia stood in front of the counter of the inn and was a bit uneasy. It only took them a few moments from the time they entered the door of the inn, and the windows, the door, the second floor railings were immediately crowded with people. What’s more, some people even climbed to the opposite roof to watch because the windows on the first floor were already full of people.
She had never been in this kind of situation before, so she could only stand uneasy while being watched. Fortunately, Murong Yan also did not like being looked at, and she didn’t know what he and the shopkeeper babbled about, anyway, the shopkeeper quickly registered their names, and their origin. He then diligently guided them upstairs to their rooms. Seeing the two beauties leaving, a huge sigh of reluctance even erupted from the first floor.
As soon as Yu Qingjia was led inside the room, she hurriedly closed the door, finally shutting off the view of the outside world. She leaned against the door with a long sigh of relief. She had already ordered the shopkeeper to go to the marketplace to buy two curtain hats for them, and before she got them, she decided not to go out again.
There was another person walking on the other side of the woods. The other party seemed to be very vigilant. He stopped immediately when he heard Yu Qingjia’s voice. After looking around in circles, he also saw Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan. After Seeing that they were two young people, he was startled, and then walked over slowly.
