Chapter 551: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
“Be careful, Senior Sister!”
“Shan’er, watch out!”
Lin Pingzhi and Yue Buqun moved simultaneously.
Lin Pingzhi’s sword flashed brilliantly, with flawless speed and angle. Unfortunately, due to his lack of combat experience, the force behind his attack was too rigid. Just as the flying drumstick accelerated mid-air, his precise thrust missed entirely.
Thankfully, Yue Buqun was nearby. Grabbing a chopstick from the table, he struck after the fact but still managed to pin the drumstick to the table. However, some grease from the drumstick splattered onto Yue Lingshan.
“Ah!” Yue Lingshan cried out, retreating in haste. Upon seeing the stain on her chest, she grew furious and was about to curse, but Yue Buqun interrupted her with a stern rebuke, “Shan’er, hold your tongue!”
“But it was clearly her…” Yue Lingshan began, but seeing the grim look on her father’s face, she stomped her foot in frustration, suppressing her anger.
“If it weren’t for Lady Li’s mercy, do you think you’d still be alive?” Yue Buqun scolded. He understood Li Mochou’s fearsome reputation in the martial world. For her to only toss a drumstick was already a rare kindness.
Though Yue Buqun was not afraid of the Scarlet Serpent Immortal, Li Mochou’s fearsome reputation stemmed not just from her martial prowess but from her deadly hidden weapon—the Frozen Soul Silver Needle.
