Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 227
Chapter 227 Little Snake, Save Me
On the 11th of December, the sunlight was like a light golden net, quietly covering the ground. A faint warm light shone on everyone’s body, making them feel warm and comfortable.
In the afternoon, Yun Xiao sat behind the windowsill and looked at the sky with an inexplicable expression.
She had been in this position for half an hour without moving a muscle.
Chun Lan looked at Yun Xiao worriedly. She wanted to go over and persuade him, but she didn’t know how to persuade him. She just thought that the fourth young miss missed the Yun Family.
Actually, she also missed home, but since the Jin Emperor did not allow them to leave the palace, there was naturally nothing she could do about it.
Chun Lan held the embroidery shed and embroidered a vivid butterfly with needles and threads. The butterfly only embroidered half of the embroidery, but it seemed to be alive, enough to see Chun Lan’s embroidery work.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew over. The window was blown onto the wall with a bang. The sound of the wall colliding with the windowsill was loud. Chun Lan was caught unprepared. She was so disturbed that she stabbed her finger. She hurriedly put the bleeding finger in her mouth and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. She also looked up.
The originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy. The entire sky seemed to be surrounded by a large black net. The sun was engulfed by a large black cloud. The entire sky was black, and the only light in the sky disappeared.
This was only what happened in a moment. After Chun Lan reacted, she felt that she could not see Yun Xiao’s tracks in the room. She could only vaguely see a black shadow there.
“Miss?” Chun Lan gave a tentative shout and hurriedly walked forward, wanting to go to the girl’s side.
However, she only took a step forward and raised her hand to touch someone. Then, she heard a muffled snort.
This voice sounded so like a girl’s!
Chun Lan was frightened, “Who? Come out?”
As she walked forward, she held the embroidery needles in her hands and danced wildly.
There was not a shred of light in the entire night sky.
The fear in Chun Lan’s heart increased.
However, when she finally reached the table, she reached out and touched it, but Yun Xiao’s figure disappeared. Her expression immediately changed drastically, “Young lady, where are you? Young lady?”
However, not a single voice answered her.
Chun Lan tried her best to calm herself down, but just as she heard a voice behind her, it was as if she had accidentally kicked a chair. Chun Lan rushed over anxiously and threw herself backwards, coincidentally hugging an arm.
Chun Lan probed tentatively. This arm was obviously not a girl’s.
He picked up the embroidery needle in his hand and stabbed it fiercely into his arm.
A few needles down, coupled with the fact that Chun Lan was worried about Yun Xiao in her heart, she was even more merciless towards the person who came.
No matter how powerful the person was, he couldn’t help but let out a dull snort.
Chun Lan naturally immediately recognized that the person was just a man, not a woman, so she was even more merciless.
That person did not expect that the world would suddenly turn black. However, he thought that this was the best time to kidnap someone, so he rushed in and clicked on Yun Xiao’s acupoint. He held Yun Xiao and wanted to leave. Who knew that the sky was too dark and it was hard to see her fingers? This was his first time here, so he naturally didn’t know the way here. As he groped around, he touched something and attracted Chun Lan.
At this moment, the pain of being stabbed was unbearable, and he was very angry. He fiercely kicked Chun Lan.
Chun Lan’s body was like a rag, falling backwards, smashing into the screen and making a sound of a frame.
Chun Lan felt as if her body was about to explode. She couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
A few black stars floated in front of him, about to faint.
Chun Lan immediately took the embroidery needle and stabbed it into her thigh with great difficulty. She wanted to use the pain to numb herself and not let herself faint. If she fainted now, the girl would probably be even more dangerous.
Chun Lan suddenly remembered that she had a luminous pearl with her. That luminous pearl was very small, the size of a pigeon egg. It was the fourth girl who told her to keep it first.
If he didn’t take out the lighting at this time, when was he going to take it out?
Although the Luminous Pearl was small, the faint halo could still allow people to see the room clearly.
Under the illumination of the Night Pearl, Chun Lan finally saw clearly that the person was dressed in a black night robe, holding Yun Xiao who was wearing a long moon-white dress in his hand, and was about to jump out of the window.
Chun Lan’s expression changed drastically. If she let this person run out, how would they find Yun Xiao if the imperial palace was so big?
Even though it was as if he had made up his mind, he shouted, “Wait!”
However, although Chun Lan’s voice was not small, the wind outside was extremely strong, and the howling sound overwhelmed Chun Lan’s voice.
The branches of a tree in the courtyard were unable to withstand the wind’s momentum, and with a loud “Ka” sound, it broke apart.
The black-clothed man who was about to jump out of the window was so frightened that he immediately retracted his feet. At this moment, he felt a faint halo behind him. He turned around and saw a luminous pearl the size of a pigeon egg. At this moment, he was lying obediently in Chun Lan’s hand.
When he saw the luminous pearl, the black-clothed man’s eyes lit up.
The value of this luminous pearl was above the silver given by the person who hired him. If he obtained this luminous pearl, he would be making a fortune!
Anyway, it was dark outside, and he couldn’t see anything. There was wind everywhere. It was like hell on earth. He didn’t want to go out just like that. What if he was smashed by a tree branch?
Thinking back to a few days ago, Yun Xiao actually took out 20,000 taels of silver in front of everyone without blinking an eye. This meant that Yun Xiao had countless silver here. If he could find the 20,000 taels of silver, wouldn’t it be even better?
When he turned around and came back, he grabbed Yun Xiao’s neck with one hand and said fiercely, “Give me the luminous pearl in your hand, or I’ll strangle your girl to death!”
Chun Lan bit the corner of her lips and nodded, “I can give you the Light Pearl, but you have to give my girl to me first. Otherwise, how would I know if you’re telling the truth?”
“Take it or not?” The black-clothed man was also unwilling to continue talking to Chun Lan. He tightly pinched Yun Xiao’s neck with both hands. The strength of his hand was so great that even Yun Xiao, who had fainted, couldn’t help but frown.
“Wait!” Chun Lan was deeply afraid that the black-clothed man would really kill her family’s girl, and her face turned pale. “Stop! Don’t you just want the Light Pearl? I’ll give it to you!”
The black-clothed man’s eyes immediately lit up, “Hurry up and bring it over!”
Chun Lan glanced at Yun Xiao and then at the black-clothed man. Her small face was filled with fear and pallor. Previously, the girl said that she liked to be quiet, so she found a quiet place to stay in the palace. Normally, very few people would come.
If it was just her and the girl, how would they deal with a black-clothed man?
Chun Lan snorted coldly and said loudly, “I’ll throw the Luminous Pearl to you. Put down my girl. Whether you can receive the Luminous Pearl or not will depend on you.”
After she finished speaking, she threw the Night Pearl at the black-clothed man. The pearl, which emitted a faint halo, drew a beautiful arc under the night sky, passing through the black-clothed man, and flew straight towards the window behind him.
She even disliked Yun Xiao for hindering him from snatching the Light Pearl, so she simply threw Yun Xiao onto the ground.
The pain caused Yun Xiao to frown. Yan Jie trembled slightly and woke up.
Who would have thought that the black-clothed man would actually touch Yun Xiao’s acupoint with this fall, and unlock the acupoint in a sinister manner.
When Chun Lan saw this, her eyebrows became moist. “Miss, are you alright?” As he spoke, he crawled towards Yun Xiao’s direction.
Yun Xiao only remembered that she had originally planned to light a candle the moment the sky darkened, but who knew that someone had lit her acupoint. Seeing Chun Lan ask, she immediately shook her head and said, “I’m fine, how are you?”
This time, it was all thanks to Chun Lan that she was able to escape. When she saw the blood at the corner of Chun Lan’s mouth, Yun Xiao immediately widened her eyes.
Yun Xiao took out a bottle of medicine she had put in her sleeve and tossed it to Chun Lan. “Rest for a while and take the medicine. I’m fine.”
Chun Lan graciously said. Who would have thought that at this moment, she would suddenly see the black-clothed man who had already left return. Borrowing the faint light of the luminous pearl from outside, the black-clothed man’s figure was extremely fast.
However, this time, the black-clothed man did not fly in by himself. Instead, he was kicked in by someone. His back ruthlessly smashed into the table behind him. The table snapped in response. It was obvious that the kick of the man was even more ruthless.
The black-clothed man did not have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He turned around and sat up. Seeing Yun Xiao not far from him, a fierce gaze appeared in his eyes and he pounced straight at Yun Xiao.
Who would have thought that at this time, Yun Xiao would actually have a helper? Since that’s the case, why not kidnap Yun Xiao to help him leave?
Yun Xiao looked at the black-clothed man flying over and frowned tightly. At this moment, she did not have any defensive items on her body, nor was she able to deal with the black-clothed man. Her expression changed drastically. She raised her hand to ask for something that Zhao could help her. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing a small silver-white snake that was coiled around her wrist like a string of bracelets.
Right now, Yun Xiao only wanted the little snake to bite that person to save her life. She touched the little snake’s body with her hand.
Sensing Yun Xiao’s current situation and danger, Little Snake suddenly raised her head and looked at the black-clothed man who was rushing over.
The slender body of the snake curved up. Just as the black-clothed man was about to pounce on Yun Xiao, the long body of the snake jumped up and fiercely bit down on the person’s wrist.
The black-clothed man felt a pain in the back of his hand, so he reflexively threw out a palm and landed on the little snake’s body.
However, at this moment, the little snake took another ferocious bite at the palm that was slapping towards it, and then its body flew backwards like a broken bead.
Yun Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened. Little Snake was now her own life.
Yun Xiao looked in the direction the little snake flew out of and tilted her body. She also ran over. The moment the little snake landed on the ground, she caught the little snake’s body and let out a sigh of relief.
However, Yun Xiao lowered her head and only saw that the little snake was on the verge of death, without any spirit at all.
His expression immediately changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed man suffered a series of setbacks. His expression was as gloomy as ice, “Bitch!”
He strode towards Yun Xiao and stretched out his hand that was bitten by the little snake. “Hand over the antidote!”
Yun Xiao turned her head and carefully placed the little snake in her embrace. She calmly looked at the black-clothed man and said, “I don’t have an antidote.”
“Since there is no antidote, even if I die, I will still drag you along!” After the black-clothed man finished speaking, a dagger appeared in his palm. The dagger moved quickly and rushed towards Yun Xiao.
However, just as he was about to approach Yun Xiao, a silver needle shining with silver light pierced into the black-clothed man’s palm at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The black-clothed man felt a numbness in his palm, and the dagger could no longer be held, falling out of his palm.
The black-clothed man’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and saw that someone had already walked in through the window. He no longer cared about holding Yun Xiao hostage. With the faint light of the Luminous Pearl, the black-clothed man looked at the window on the other side and quickly walked over. He broke the window and walked out.
Following that, two extremely loud voices seemed to resound in his ears …
