Chapter 173: Chen Yuan is Really Good
Her attacks were formless and trace-less.
And there were no trajectories at all!
You wouldn’t even know where her attacks would suddenly pop out from!
In other words, her attacks didn’t feel like attacks, but like commands!
The only way to know she had attacked you was that you suddenly saw a sea of bl**d red in front of you!
Your chest would split in two, gushing bl**d…
You wouldn’t even feel the pain before your body was already cut in half…
Rewind!!!!
Chen Yuan reacted quickly, fortunately, his instinct as an assassin allowed him to activate his ability within a mere 0.0001 seconds of almost being hit.
The surrounding space warped, like a slow-motion playback in a movie!
Time instantly rewound to a few seconds ago!
Finally understanding why heaven granted him such a defying ability…
It’s to give him a few more chances in case he couldn’t k*ll her…
Chen Yuan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and hurriedly touched his chest; he had just seen his own heart…
He fell to the ground and let out a long sigh…
Maybe he should wait a bit before going back in…
It was too damned frightening…
…..
Sakura placed the blade in the basin to wash it, rolling up the sleeves of her long bathrobe, revealing her delicate wrists.
One hand scooped up water, gently pouring it over the blade, washing away the bloodstains on it.
Her golden eyes were reflected on the water’s surface, shining with a faint light, majestic and sacred, like an ancient monarch, overlooking the world.
Just as the ripples on the water swayed, it seemed like the fluctuations of her heart…
Faint traces of loneliness and solitude could be seen in those proud eyes…
After a long while, once the blade was cleaned, the scene of bl**d had already been tidied up by the bodyguards.
She quietly returned to her room, and throughout the process, the bodyguards didn’t dare to look directly at her.
Not only because of her eyes but also due to her disheveled appearance…
She had rushed back to see Chen Yuan, and since she rarely wore such a bathrobe, she had put it on in quite a hurried manner.
Moreover, after being attacked by the assassin and going through a small battle, her bathrobe looked even more like a big piece of messy white cloth wrapped around her.
Back in the room.
Her golden eyes gradually turned back to black, a childlike innocence and naïveté returning to her gaze.
She continued organizing her toys.
The television was still broadcasting, and the game console’s fight interface was still paused.
Nothing had been damaged.
Everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened.
Except for the hole in the ceiling above…
“Hm? What are you doing?”
Suddenly, Chen Yuan’s voice echoed from above her.
Sakura looked up, her eyes momentarily filled with astonishment.
When did he… come back?
So amazing!
“You are so amazing…”
She said sincerely while looking at Chen Yuan.
At the same time, the previously lost emotions began to resurface…
Anger…
Sadness…
Feeling deceived…
And then it should be… happiness.
Chen Yuan felt quite confused by her inexplicable praise.
What? I just got attacked by you!
I thought my ability was already overpowered, only to find that it’s because of you being a freak!
Silently complaining, Chen Yuan jumped down from the roof.
He faced Sakura’s disheveled state…
And was momentarily stunned.
She looked small, but it turned out she was quite exquisite inside…
Wait a minute!
Chen Yuan glanced at the turtle shell beside him!
Sakura’s innocent eyes widened; not understanding gender issues, she suddenly realized one thing.
Did Chen Yuan just see her in the act of killing?!
She didn’t want him to see…
So with a whoosh, she ran towards the turtle shell!
But unexpectedly, Chen Yuan was faster than her!
He scooped up the turtle shell and with a duang, put it on her!
This is how it should be…
Chen Yuan felt comfortable, but Sakura was stunned.
She meant to hide inside, but what did it mean for Chen Yuan to put this on her?
Right then, before her mind caught up, she suddenly caught a strong whiff of fragrance.
Chen Yuan magically produced oden and octopus balls out of nowhere!
Her eyes instantly lit up like a kitten seeing a fish stick, twisting her plump little turtle body to follow Chen Yuan.
Slurp slurp slurp~
Chen Yuan smiled and teased her, but she didn’t understand, obediently following along, entirely invaded by the food.
“Is it tasty?”
Chen Yuan sat beside her, watching her munching with puffy cheeks.
“Mm.”
She was busy enjoying the food in her bowl, softly responding, barely able to glance at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan didn’t disturb her, just watching her eat, and noticed that the ends of her hair were slightly discolored, which struck him as odd.
The dark red tips had turned somewhat golden.
He also noticed a wound on her wrist, an obvious mark from bandaging.
On her tiny hand, it stood out.
He could guess that this was the injury from drawing bl**d.
Chen Yuan reached out and pointed to her wrist, asking with concern:
“Does it hurt?”
She took a bite of the octopus ball and shook her head.
Then she held up the bitten octopus ball to Chen Yuan’s lips.
Her way of showing affection was very simple.
There weren’t many complications.
She thought this was the best, so she gave it to Chen Yuan, not caring whether it was something she had already bitten.
Not understanding even the basics of gender, how could she comprehend the nuances of sharing food?
Chen Yuan chuckled gently, refusing, not out of disdain, but because he felt he could eat any time he wanted, wanting all of it for her.
It was like buying candy for a child, who would still think of you not having eaten and saving it for you.
How could you find it dirty? You would only feel it wasn’t enough.
Originally, the amount bought wasn’t much, but seeing her enjoying herself so happily, Chen Yuan felt quite satisfied.
Since she liked it, he could buy more in the future.
But Sakura thought that Chen Yuan didn’t like any of it.
So she kept on offering him different things.
This ham sausage? No.
This fish ball? No.
This fish tofu? No.
She was very patient, not getting angry at all.
Only having finished the small bowl of oden, Chen Yuan still hadn’t found anything he liked.
“Don’t you like any of it?”
She stared dumbfounded at the food in her hand and asked.
“If I want to eat, I can just go buy it myself; this is for you,” Chen Yuan said gently.
She widened her pure eyes, and from Chen Yuan’s words, the dim-witted her understood…
That just now, Chen Yuan had specifically gone to buy her this bowl of oden…
She thought he had just deceived her and left her…
She smiled softly and obediently said:
“Chen Yuan is really good.”
“I like Chen Yuan.”
