Young Master in Flower City

Shangguan Biyue realized that attempting to assassinate Xiao Tianyu today was utterly hopeless. That guy was too fierce; she even prayed to simply be alive and out of bed today as a rebirth opportunity given by the heavens.

There was no way around it. Not only was that guy handsome, but he was also incredibly strong.

Being strong is good, but being too strong can become a woman's disaster.

Finally, an hour later, Xiao Tianyu calmed down. The entire sheet was drenched in sweat. Xiao Tianyu got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, with the sound of rushing water echoing. From beginning to end, his face remained emotionless.

Shangguan Biyue lay limp on the bed. Although it was her first time feeling the true pain and exhaustion, she also truly enjoyed it. However, it puzzled her how long it had been since Xiao Tianyu had indulged, that he had to exhaust her to the brink of death.

Preserve the green hills, and you will not fear having no firewood to burn.

Shangguan Biyue thought to herself. She was genuinely afraid Xiao Tianyu might come out and start again. At that moment, she really would die on that bed, and she didn't want to perish in a paradise before completing her mission.

As such, Shangguan Biyue grabbed the bedframe with her right hand and suddenly rolled off the bed, panting heavily, her legs trembling and in pain. No matter how much it hurt, she had to run. Otherwise, her life would really end here.

For the sake of her life and seizing the next opportunity, slipping away was the best policy.

Picking up her clothes from the floor, she dressed, holding her waist, her legs trembling as she limped out of the room.

After she left, Xiao Tianyu walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. He didn't feel any sympathy for Shangguan Biyue, just as he said, tempting him came with a price.

Approaching the bed, Xiao Tianyu saw the crimson stain left on the sweat-drenched sheet, his lips twitching slightly, his deep eyes revealing a hint of coldness.

Moving the pillow, he glanced at the fruit knife beneath, his face devoid of any expression.

Then, Xiao Tianyu closed the door, lay on the bed, and directly fell asleep.

Outside, at the reception desk.

Xiao Ying and two female attendants watched in shock as Shangguan Biyue limped over. "Was the suite really this wild? It's already 11:30. Could she possibly be telling us she just finished?"

Especially when Xiao Ying saw Shangguan Biyue's trembling legs, she couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. "What kind of a powerhouse of a man could turn a beauty like this to jelly?"

Brutal.

Too brutal.

Is one woman enough? I also want to try the powerhouse.

Despite the brutality, there was a hint of envy among those present. To be able to reduce a woman to that state was a testament to that man's strength.

"Miss Shangguan, are you leaving now?" Xiao Ying respectfully asked, "It's really late, and it's not safe outside. Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning to leave?"

Tomorrow morning?

Shangguan Biyue's mouth twitched hard. Tomorrow morning? Would her life still be intact? Even if outside was a tiger's den or a hailstorm, she had to leave. She believed if she stayed until morning, she'd end up as a cold corpse.

Then, Shangguan Biyue shook her head. "No need!"

With that, Shangguan Biyue limped towards the door. Xiao Ying quickly said, "Miss Shangguan, your deposit!"

"Keep it!" Shangguan Biyue replied.

She dared not delay. What if that guy came out and dragged her back into the room? Then she'd be really done for.

Exiting the accommodation area, Shangguan Biyue went straight to her sports car, hit the gas, and left.

Having failed to kill, and almost having her legs crippled, just thinking about it made her shudder with fear. She couldn't understand; it was already enough for Xiao Tianyu to be powerful, but how could he have such endurance, leaving her without any chance to assassinate him.

Central Manor, Shangguan Biyue's villa.

Wearing high heels, Shangguan Biyue walked to the door, opened it, and entered.

However, as soon as the door opened, Shangguan Biyue sensed a chilly aura, causing her eyebrows to furrow and her mind to tense.

"Come out; no need to hide like ghosts!" Shangguan Biyue said, her eyes showing a hint of caution.

Buzz~

As her words fell, a gust of cold wind howled, and suddenly, a masked figure in black slowly floated down from the stairs. Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes fixed on them, "Skywalker?"

"Correct!" The figure in black nodded, their sharp eyes staring at Shangguan Biyue. "I'm here on behalf of our master to greet you!"

"If you have something to say, say it outright!" Shangguan Biyue's voice grew colder.

"Our master just wanted to know how things were going with your mission!" Skywalker's voice was quite calm.

"Not completed!"

"Didn't you have the opportunity to get close to Xiao Tianyu tonight?"

"Were you following me?" A glint of coldness flashed in Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes.

"Our master was merely concerned for your safety, so he sent me to protect you!"

Protect me?

Shangguan Biyue inwardly sneered. Protection or surveillance, she understood well enough. It slightly disappointed her; she had been subjected to rigorous training at Seven-Star Tower since childhood, where excellence was rewarded and weakness punished.

As a child, with her peers in training, only she survived, while all others perished. Her loyalty to Seven-Star Tower was unquestionable. However, this being her first task, the Seven-Star Head felt it necessary to send someone to monitor her.

Seeing the complexity in Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes, Skywalker changed his tone: "Seven-Star Tower has formed an alliance with the Assassin's Guild. Once you succeed, the Twelve Flying Peng Castles can be wiped out and the Assassin's Guild won't be able to stop Seven-Star Tower's rise to dominate the Martial Combat Realm. At that time, you'll be a hero!"

After speaking, Skywalker continued: "Oh, our master asked me to inform you that while investigating Xiao Tianyu's identity, the Communication Fortress exploded, so Seven-Star Tower needs considerable wealth to rebuild the fortresses. The Great Ao's land must be secured!"

"I understand. You may leave!" Shangguan Biyue snorted coldly.

"The master is giving you half a month more. Hopefully, you won't disappoint him!" With that, Skywalker left the villa, transforming into a shadow that disappeared into the night sky.

The Twelve Skywalkers, secret weapons of Seven-Star Tower, were always loyal to Duan Xingnan. When Xiao Tianyu arrived at Seven-Star Tower last time, Duan Xingnan didn't employ them, showing their reliance. They don't act rashly, but when they do, they're sure to bathe the martial world in blood.

To kill the Fortress Master, one must first slay the Twelve Eagles. This rumor was shattered since the last time Xiao Tianyu descended upon Seven-Star Tower, which also made Duan Xingnan realize that to extinguish the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, one must first kill Fortress Master Xiao Tianyu.

Watching Skywalker's departing figure, Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes flickered with loneliness. She knew well what half a month meant. If she couldn't accomplish it in that time, she'd likely face severe punishment.

Originally believing today would be a success, it was a pity that Xiao Tianyu was too formidable, giving her no opportunity.
