Chapter 447: Ruined Evening?
"Where are they?! Where is the man that crippled my niece?" The woman surnamed Su screamed at the guards but received no response.
Just as she said, Noah and Xin Yan were nowhere to be seen, as if they were never there in the first place.
But the golem rushing towards them was undeniable proof that they were in this place.
"Argh!" In her anger, the woman dashed towards the golem and directly punched it in the head with all of her strength.
*Boom!*
The golem blasted apart into several small pieces that flew all over the place with just one strike.
Even after seeing the golem crumble to rubble, the woman's anger did not dissipate. She kept slamming her fists into the ground in fury.
Blood started to come out of her hands, but the woman showed no signs of stopping.
The guards were scared to see their city lord losing her cool. This was the first time they had seen her act like this. No one dared to take a breath or interrupt the woman, fearing they might replace the rocks if they did.
Long Xiang's attention was not on the woman; he was lost in his own thoughts as he recalled what Noah said to him before disappearing into the air.
"You…" After she was done turning the rock golem into pebbles, the woman glared at Long Xiang, the man her niece was infuriated with.
Upon looking at those pairs of bloodshot eyes, Long Xiang trembled a little. "You will tell me everything you know about those two and help me kill them!"
"...Yes." Recalling the words Noah left before disappearing, Long Xiang's eyes shone with ruthlessness, and he readily agreed. 'Don't think that I won't kill you for any reason because I was the one who massacred the Long family, and you will just be another head for me on the list.'
…
"I am sorry that I ruined your evening." Floating high up in the air, Noah apologized to Xin Yan after moving his gaze away from the city beneath him.
"Hmm? Are you kidding me? That made my evening better than any sunset." Xin Yan chuckled out loud, taking her gaze off the mess they had made.
Noah was genuinely confused after hearing her words. He thought of many things she could be feeling, but enjoying that situation was not one of them.
"Haha, the way you made him believe that you were Long Tian without lying, the way you scared him. Honestly, when I saw him standing there blaming me for everything, I wanted to rip his head off his torso with my own hands." Noah also chuckled when Xin Yan started to reveal her dark thoughts. "But I felt very relieved when you crippled the woman.
Soon she will start to reveal her real self and at the same time wish she was dead."
"Can you tell me something?" After letting out all of her inner bitterness, Xin Yan looked at Noah and asked.

Seeing Noah nodding, she asked, "Why didn't you kill him then and there? I could feel it, you know…"
"All the emotions you were trying to bottle up while dealing with him, I could feel them all." Xin Yan came closer to Noah and clasped his hands between her own two hands.
Seeing the sweet look in her eyes, Noah smiled and looked back to the ground, seeing the scared Long Xiang following behind the city lord, his eyes showing a different expression.
A very dark and twisted expression replaced the warmth. "He dared to lay all the blame for his mistakes on you and tried to humiliate you in public… there is no way I will let him get an easy way out. Dying will be the last of his concerns."
As he spoke, the air around the two of them trembled and twisted like the darkness in his eyes, as if agreeing with his choice.
Xin Yan trembled hearing Noah's cold tone, but there was not a single shred of fear in her eyes. At that moment, they were just like a mirror of Noah's eyes.
"When he comes to the royal capital, I will humiliate him in front of the whole world before taking away everything he had worked so hard to get." By the time Noah finished his words, the air around him returned to normal, and the sun also started to set.
The soothing yet bright rays of the sun reflected on the mountains, illuminating the whole city.
"We did not miss the things you brought us here to watch. I say this evening was a great success." Xin Yan slid into Noah's arms and watched the wonderful scene before her eyes with focus.
From the air, the scene looked far more beautiful than it would have looked from the ground. Noah chuckled and hugged her back.
Kissing her forehead, he looked back at the sun disappearing into the mountains slowly but surely.
…
"How was your evening?" Outside the city, Xin Yan saw the girls rushing towards them. "Did you face any problems in the city?"
Hearing her questions, a trace of warmth appeared in the eyes of all the girls.
'We are not moving away from our families, instead, we are just staying with a new one.' The same thoughts occurred in their minds at the same time.
"We had a lot of fun there." Ma Li grinned as she started sharing everything they bought and every place they visited.
While they were talking, Noah secretly used seals to hide them from the senses of other people. After they calmly walked out of the town, they flew away in the same chariot they arrived in.
Back in the city lord's mansion, the woman glanced at the doctor checking up on her niece. "How is she?"
"...I am sorry, but she is crippled for good… there is nothing I can do." Scared by her sharp gaze, the doctor trembled a little while relaying the news.
"Is that so? What use are you then?" She moved past the doctor while uttering coldly.
The doctor tried to run away from the room, but his head was blasted into smithereens before he could even take a second step.
The walls of the room and the bodies of the servants standing in the room were painted with the blood of the dead doctor.
"Clean this up." Looking at the trembling maids covered in blood, she ordered coldly.
"...Yes!" Not wanting to face the same fate, they all rushed out of the room and brought in equipment to clean the room.
"Tell me…" After the maids were done cleaning and left the room, the woman looked across the bed and asked emotionlessly.
Standing opposite her, Long Xiang opened his mouth to explain everything he knew.
