But before she could act, the next second, she was pinned against a tree.
Then, Ying Zijin heard a familiar voice.
"Yaoyao, it’s me."
Her expression changed slightly, her fingers still clutching three Golden Needles.
They were a fraction away from embedding into the man’s throat.
Ying Zijin’s hand stopped just in time, but the force could not be withdrawn and had to curve instead.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
The three Golden Needles changed their target to a rock.
Fu Yunshen’s expression froze for a moment as he slowly turned his head.
And saw the giant rock that was struck by the Golden Needles crumble into pieces.
Knowing that if the throat were to be hit, the outcome would be obvious without even thinking about it.
"..."
Even for Fu Yunshen, there was a momentary pause in his body.
After a while, his peach blossom eyes lifted, drawing her in deeper, "Yaoyao, which is more important, your boyfriend or Two Billion US Dollars?"
Ying Zijin: "..."
She really had intended to kill him.
She glanced at him, "How could I have known it was you?"
"Hmm, so I recognized my own girlfriend before you did, how do we settle this?"
"You changed your face."
Even the texture of the skin was different.
Fu Yunshen conceded, "Okay."
Both fell into silence simultaneously.
The night breeze stirred the clouds, and the half-moon emerged.
The atmosphere was unusually serene.
"I thought about your other identities, but never did I imagine you to be the Number One Poison Master," Fu Yunshen said, turning his head, "I thought he was a man."
Ying Zijin’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "A man?"
Holding her close, Fu Yunshen leaned his chin into the crook of her shoulder and chuckled, "Yeah, we all thought the Number One Poison Master was an old man."
Not just him, everyone on the NOK forum thought so.
Many had asked Rita Bevin, but nothing came of it.
This preconceived notion had limited his thoughts.
He should have thought of it sooner.
At the time, looking for a cure for Old Master Fu’s poison, he had sought out every Poison Master he could.
But none of these Poison Masters had the ability to detoxify, not to mention that they had no recipe for an Antidote.
However, Ying Zijin had easily written a prescription for the Antidote.
This proved that her abilities were on par with the Number One Poison Master.
"What to do?" Fu Yunshen ruffled her hair, "I almost hurt my girl."
If he hadn’t recognized her in time, he would have first rendered the Number One Poison Master immobile.
Ying Zijin was silent, "Then I was the crueler one."
She too had fallen into a blind spot in her thinking.
The fact that Devil could break in alone only proved he was an ancient martial artist with high cultivation.
"To seal off your cultivation so you could fight?"
"Now’s not the time," Ying Zijin frowned slightly, "You just left the prey there? And Patriarch Pazzi saw my true face."
That was all money.
Besides, whether Jerman or the Great Elder, they indeed had many lives on their hands.
But given the overwhelming power of the Pazzi Family, although their top ranks have long been on the Bounty List and the amount keeps increasing, hardly anyone dares to take the job.
Hunters always operate alone, and for one person to invade Pazzi territory is indeed tantamount to seeking death.
"No problem," Fu Yunshen tilted his head slightly, his fingers playing with her hair, his demeanor casual, "They won’t wake up for now, only I can wake them."
Ying Zijin nodded.
The techniques of ancient martial arts are indeed marvelous.
Although she pioneered ancient martial arts, many secret manuals developed later on were new.
Ying Zijin looked at the man with handsome features, "So, the Gun God Ranked Seventh who appeared in Shanghai City back then, was indeed there to kill you, right?"
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen recalled, "Was that your doing?"
