Assassin: Tapped You [New Book Please Collect!]

"I've brewed some Dragon Bone Soup, Little Daoist Priest Li, please try it."

Gongsun Rou, wearing a home-style Silk Swallow Dress, walked in carrying a bowl of soup. The soft fabric clung to her body, revealing slender and graceful lines, like rolling spring mountains.

At this moment, she was likely in her most natural state at home, her lush long hair slightly messy, her face free of makeup, yet still gentle and lovely.

"Thank you."

Li Chu took the soup bowl, opened the lid, and sniffed. It smelled very fragrant.

"We don't have a habit of drinking soup in Chaoge, but after coming to the south, I found that every household loves soup, and I've gradually come to like it too," Gongsun Rou said softly, sitting down beside him.

Li Chu buried his head in the soup bowl. There were many ingredients he could eat in the soup: chestnuts, Chinese yam, and pork bones. On the principle of not wasting anything, Li Chu fished them all out and ate them.

Gongsun Rou touched her flat, soft abdomen again: "Lately, because I've been drinking too much, I've gained a few pounds."

Li Chu waited for the soup to cool slightly, then simply picked up the bowl and drank it down. If anyone else did this, it might look ungraceful, but coming from him, it inexplicably had a kind of unrestrained elegance.

Gongsun Rou asked again, "Little Daoist Priest Li, what do you think? I specifically learned for three or four days, and this is the first time I've made it for anyone other than my father."

"Hoo--"

Li Chu put down the soup bowl, let out a sigh, and then smiled, "The taste is excellent. To be able to make soup like this after only learning for three or four days, Miss Gongsun, you have great talent."

Gongsun Rou's eyes immediately curved into a smile.

She tidied up the soup bowl and took it out again. These tasks were originally done by the servants in the yamen, but she still came herself.

Going to the kitchen, she ladled another bowl of soup and then brought it to Gongsun Zhe.

Although it was late, Gongsun Zhe was still handling official business at his desk.

From an official's perspective, he was indeed an impeccable good official. In the short time he had been in Yu Hang County, he had already cleared up all the accumulated old cases in the county. Magistrate Gongsun's good reputation had also spread quickly among the citizens.

"Father, try tonight's soup. Little Daoist Priest Li also said it was delicious just now," Gongsun Rou said.

"Heh heh," Gongsun Zhe chuckled. "You made me taste the practice ones a few days ago, and today the taste is good, so you give it to Little Daoist Priest Li first, right?"

The father and daughter lived in two adjacent courtyards within the yamen. After Li Chu moved in, he was arranged to stay in Gongsun Zhe's courtyard. Therefore, the old father had seen his daughter's actions just now.

"No way, if you talk nonsense again, I won't let you drink it anymore," Gongsun Rou pouted.

"Alright, alright, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

Gongsun Zhe laughed a few times and began to bury his head in drinking the soup.

The room was quiet for a moment, then suddenly, Gongsun Rou murmured, "It would be great if Little Daoist Priest Li could live here forever."

"Cough cough! Cough!"

Gongsun Zhe choked on a mouthful of soup when he heard this, and coughed for a long time.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Gongsun Rou walked over to pat his back.

"Cough, cough, you girl, you wish your dad was assassinated every day, right? Cough." Gongsun Zhe glanced at his daughter.

Gongsun Rou hadn't thought that far before, and her face turned red when her father asked.

But she couldn't help but think.

If Dad didn't have to be assassinated, and she could still see Little Daoist Priest Li every day...

That would be great.

Mm.

The moonlight was clear and bright.

Li Chu walked out of the room and nimbly climbed onto the roof using the ladder.

This was something he had recently discovered: when using the Mind's Eye Art, the effect was better without obstructions. At the same time, the higher the location, the better the effect.

Thinking of the old-fashioned antenna at home, Li Chu chose the rooftop.

Although he had killed a ghost last night, he had not relaxed his vigilance against resentful qi.

Gradually, he found himself enjoying this feeling of looking down on everything from the clouds.

No strong resentful qi was generated today.

Good, it seemed that the entire Yuhang Town had passed another civilized and harmonious day.

As for scattered resentful qi, there was quite a bit, but this level was not enough to attract ghosts, so there was no need to worry.

Just as he was about to withdraw his Mind's Eye Art, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Outside the courtyard wall, a humanoid figure formed by yin and yang qi stood there.

This was not unusual in itself.

But in an instant, a strong earthy yellow aura erupted from outside the humanoid figure's body!

Li Chu had seen this kind of qi on Little Yue'er.

It was demonic qi.

Normally, a demon that has transformed into human form won't be discovered unless it uses Demonic Arts.

Their Demonic Qi is well restrained within their bodies.

This current situation must mean a Great Demon that has transformed has lurked behind the wall, and it has unleashed its full Demonic Power.

And in the instant Li Chu was contemplating, it had already shot into the sky.

Its target was Li Chu!

It came so fast!

Leopard Five was a Silver Rank Assassin from Azure Wing Tower, nicknamed Thunderclap Fist.

His style of operation was cruel, his methods brutal. None of his assassination targets had ever been left whole.

But he felt he couldn't be blamed for that. If anyone was to blame, it was those people's bodies for being too fragile.

It was just one punch, and those people exploded. How could he be blamed for hitting too hard?

Heh heh.

He was addicted to this feeling.

Every time he saw a human body shattered by his punch, flesh and blood exploding into pieces flying everywhere.

He would become uncontrollably excited.

Because of this, even though he was a Silver Rank Assassin, he took on an exceptionally large number of jobs.

As high-end power within Azure Wing Tower, assassins at the Silver Rank usually controlled the tier of jobs they accepted to maintain their value.

But Leopard Five didn't care. He accepted everything.

Compared to making money, he was more addicted to killing itself.

Today's job was no different.

It was just to kill a middle-aged human who couldn't even break a chicken's egg, and a Bronze Rank fool named Eight-Armed Asura had failed before, disappearing without a trace.

According to the rules, a Silver Rank Assassin should be dispatched at this point.

But the other Silver Rank assassins were unwilling to take the job because it was too simple.

So Leopard Five came.

When he discovered the target's identity was a County Magistrate, he changed his mind.

Why kill only one person?

There are so many humans protecting him here, it would be perfectly reasonable to blast them all to smithereens.

Blasting people is fun for a while.

Blasting people forever is always fun.

Heh heh, let's start with this Little Daoist Priest meditating on the rooftop.

Looking at his calm expression, he probably has no idea he's about to die!

Leopard Five bent his knees, circulated his Demonic Power, and leaped!

Bang--

His body shot into the air like a cannonball, hurtling straight towards Li Chu!

Leopard Five's first move was his strongest punch.

This punch is named:

Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering Purple Gold Hammer!

Hundreds and thousands of Fallen Souls have died under this punch, and not a single one has survived. It always kills!

Heheheh.

As his fist clenched, a sinister grin spread across Leopard Five's face.

Explode, explode before my eyes.

There is no more beautiful sight in the world than flesh and blood flying everywhere!

In a flash, Li Chu had just withdrawn from the Mind's Eye Art state and hadn't had time to react.

He was hit on the spine by Leopard Five's punch!

Boom!

One punch landed.

Both felt something.

Leopard Five's body trembled, then he abruptly turned his head and, with even greater speed than when he arrived, flashed back the way he came.

Then he quickly leaped away, almost turning into a demonic wind, fleeing the Yu Hang County Yamen.

When Li Chu stood up.

It vanished like a lightning flash and flint spark.

Huh?

Li Chu frowned in confusion.

He felt a blow on his back—not enough to cause pain, but still quite heavy.

But...

There was such a strong aura just now, charging aggressively.

And the result was just a light tap that didn't hurt him?

What was that?

Just a simple pat?

He didn't even see the figure of the perpetrator clearly before it had already fled far away.

So he had no way of guessing its purpose.

After much thought, the only reasonable guess he could come up with was that this was a demon's ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Find a small minion to "tap him."

Once he chased after it, they would come to assassinate the defenseless Magistrate Gongsun.

Li Chu would naturally not fall for it.

He sat down cross-legged again, but this time he raised his vigilance.

It was because the perception range of his Mind's Eye Art was too large earlier, making him not very sensitive to changes around him.

He must be careful from now on.

This kind of situation where someone could easily get close to him absolutely could not happen again!

The situation just now was too dangerous—if the force of that punch had been a thousand times greater, wouldn't he have been injured?

Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
