231: Send gifts in advance

"Scar-Face, you're in your own dimensional space, but even being invisible is useless—because it just so happens that my pet has an anti-invisibility skill!"

As soon as Gu Xiaoyue spoke, Jiang Mengfei was certain she could see the attributes of his pet!

Being called Scar-Face by her infuriated Jiang Mengfei.

He narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead, wishing he could tear Gu Xiaoyue into pieces!

"You still haven't answered me, have you fed people to this leopard?"

Seeing that Jiang Mengfei refused to answer, a flash of killing intent crossed Gu Xiaoyue's eyes, and she brandished her dual swords, lunging at Jiang Mengfei.

She was not like an ordinary college student; she was accustomed to fighting in arenas and would not hesitate to attack a Beastmaster directly.

She never went easy on bandits!

Just as her dual swords were about to carve another scar onto Jiang Mengfei's face, his figure instantly vanished.

Heh, hiding his form?

Jiang Mengfei was gambling—gambling that Gu Xiaoyue was using fake information to scare him!

"Hou!"

Gu Xiaoyue commanded him to use his anti-invisibility skill; Hou's anti-invisibility skill was already mastered, and combined with his rank suppression over the Yasha Shadow Leopard.

Jiang Mengfei had only been invisible for a few seconds before he was forced to reveal his form.

His expression of shock met the terrifying pressure Gu Xiaoyue brought from hell.

The scar on Jiang Mengfei's face twisted slightly.

"Who, who exactly are you?!"

"Go to the underworld and ask the King of Hell!"

Gu Xiaoyue let out a light laugh, only remembering after she said it that Mercury did not have the concept of the underworld or the King of Hell.

Jiang Mengfei's pets were already being firmly suppressed by Xiao Qi and the others, and Gu Xiaoyue was actually still thinking about absorbing a few more waves of level experience.

High-level pets at the eighth stage of maturity should be able to provide a few more waves, right!

Thinking this, she continuously attacked Jiang Mengfei with her dual swords.

Jiang Mengfei couldn't dodge in time; his left forearm was severed by Gu Xiaoyue's dual swords, blood flowing freely!

"Oops, missed! Scar-Face, I didn't mean to kill you. If you want to suffer less, just surrender!"

Gu Xiaoyue's words sounded innocent, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

She truly didn't want to kill Jiang Mengfei; she only wanted to cripple his limbs!

Besides the matter of absorbing experience, she also needed to extract information from him!

Jiang Mengfei took a large piece of gauze from his Yu Beast Space to wrap his severed arm and stop the bleeding first.

He glanced at his severed arm nearby, then at Ding Fang and Zhou Qi, and steeled his heart.

Just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to swing her sword to sever Jiang Mengfei's leg, the dimensional space trembled, causing all of them to lose their footing.

It turned out that Jiang Mengfei had retracted the dimensional space, ejecting everyone out.

This repulsive force caused Gu Xiaoyue and the others to lose their balance.

When Gu Xiaoyue had killed Hand previously, she had been ejected by the dimensional space and landed hard on her bottom.

Since Jiang Mengfei was still alive, the repulsive force was not very strong.

But by the time they all regained their footing, Jiang Mengfei and his pets were nowhere to be found!

He had fled in such a hurry that he naturally abandoned his severed arm, Ding Fang, and Zhou Qi!

Gu Xiaoyue pouted with some regret; that leopard was truly imposing, and she actually understood those bandits who killed to seize pets.

To loathe bandits, to understand bandits, to become a bandit.

It was just that her starting point was too high; ordinary pets couldn't catch her eye, and instead, she had always been fighting hard in the defense of her own pets.

Usually, it was others coveting hers; this was the first time she had encountered a pet she wanted to forcibly occupy.

Moreover, the other party was a complete villain, the kind where killing him would be ridding the people of a scourge.

It was a pity that this Scar-Face wasn't as honorable as she had imagined; he didn't even want his brothers and fled for his own life!

"Elder Deng, protect the three of them; I'm going to chase Scar-Face!"

Gu Xiaoyue put away her other pets, leaving only Qingqing, who was the fastest, outside.

She didn't intend to let Jiang Mengfei off, but before her words had faded, she heard Qingqing shout.

"Master, look out! Ugh—"

Ding Fang, who had not yet lost consciousness, took advantage of Gu Xiaoyue not focusing on him and ambushed her with a hidden weapon concealed in his mouth.

Qingqing warned Gu Xiaoyue verbally while subconsciously blocking in front of her to take the attack for her!

"Qingqing!"

Ding Fang's hidden weapon was poisonous, and within seconds, Qingqing's complexion rapidly turned from normal to iron-blue.

Gu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth in hatred, raised her Hand, and used a Wind Blade to knock Ding Fang unconscious!

She immediately recalled Qingqing into the Yu Beast Space and handed her to Xiao Lan to detoxify and treat her.

"Damn it!"

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't quell her hatred and could only curse under her breath.

Now, she not only wanted to capture Jiang Mengfei but also wanted to tear Ding Fang and Zhou Qi into pieces!

"Sister—"

White Gaze stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Gu Xiaoyue's clothes. "That person with the scar on his face earlier, will he take advantage of you going to find him and turn back to deal with us?"

His fingers were trembling slightly; although he hadn't received any physical harm during this assassination attempt, the assassin's wild words had somewhat frightened him.

To think there could actually be a Beastmaster in this world who enjoyed turning people into human sticks and using humans as food for pets!

He had suffered a lot since childhood, but this kind of ideological shock was truly his first.

From this perspective, Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi had protected him quite well.

Gu Xiaoyue patted White Gaze's Hand to comfort him.

"It's okay, your two brothers also have Shadow Guards.

If he turns back, he'll only be the one to suffer!"

However, to put White Gaze at ease, Gu Xiaoyue also dismissed the idea of chasing Jiang Mengfei.

Having delayed this long, he was probably already long gone!

"Ms. Gu, wait a moment, my men will be here immediately!"

Bai Rongxuan bowed to Gu Xiaoyue.

He and Bai Shengrui usually had more than two personal bodyguards, plus Shadow Guards.

Today, when they invited Gu Xiaoyue out, they had been very confident in their Shadow Guards, which was why they had nearly let Jiang Mengfei and the others take advantage of them.

If it hadn't been for the experienced Deng Xian, who had hidden his identity in advance and was also taken into the dimensional space by Jiang Mengfei.

Even with Gu Xiaoyue's powerful strength, she probably wouldn't have been able to ensure all three of them retreated unscathed.

Before long, the servants of Bai Rongxuan and Bai Shengrui arrived, tied up Ding Fang and Zhou Qi, whose limbs had already been crippled, and took them away.

Everyone returned to the residence of Prince Yi, and White Gaze prepared dinner for Gu Xiaoyue as usual.

After eating, Gu Xiaoyue took White Gaze back to her room.

She stealthily took out a stalk of han jiang grass, a stalk of Golden Herb, and two Huanpo Lotuses.

"Your eighteenth birthday is in a few days; this is your birthday gift!"

Today's assassination attempt must have frightened him, Gu Xiaoyue thought.

But there was no solution to this; only White Gaze himself could become strong.

All Gu Xiaoyue could do was provide him with some assistance.

"Sister, you are too good to me; I really don't know how to repay you!"

A mist appeared in White Gaze's eyes again.

Gu Xiaoyue sighed, "Your status is special; first learn to protect yourself, then learn how to invade!

As for me—"

Gu Xiaoyue paused; the relationship between them was merely one of mutual utilization.

Everything she was doing now was just for the future, so that she and White Gaze could find the key to the secret realm and she could return to her original timeline.
