Xiao Yi Xian's Despair!

The woman in white wore a pale dress. Though her looks could not be called peerless, she was still a rare beauty. Her smiling face radiated a fresh, ethereal air.

That distinctive aura immediately heightened her charm considerably.

This young woman was none other than Xiao Yi Xian, renowned throughout Qingshan Town.

"Finally, I've successfully refined the Muscle-Relaxing Powder."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled beautifully as she looked at the jade bottle in her hand.

Muscle-Relaxing Powder: colorless and odorless. Those afflicted by it would soon lose all strength throughout their bodies, unable even to circulate the battle qi within them.

This Muscle-Relaxing Powder was a type of sedative recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture that Xiao Yi Xian had obtained from the cave.

Ever since Mr. Yao had placed her under house arrest, Xiao Yi Xian had been constantly considering a way to escape.

Now, she had finally succeeded!

That was right—the Muscle-Relaxing Powder was what she would rely on to leave this estate.

Just then, a burst of footsteps sounded. Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly put away the jade bottle in her hand.

Creak!

As the door opened, Mr. Yao slowly stepped into the room.

"Xiao Yi Xian, have you made up your mind?"

"As long as you are willing to hand over the item, I'll let you leave immediately."

Mr. Yao looked coldly at Xiao Yi Xian, a trace of threat in his tone.

His goal, naturally, was to obtain the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

"Mr. Yao, please allow me one more day to consider it. I will give you my answer tomorrow."

Facing Mr. Yao's harsh tone, Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly and continued to stall for time.

Hearing this, Mr. Yao shot Xiao Yi Xian a sharp look and warned, "Then I'll give you one more day. If you're still stubborn tomorrow, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

"Guard her closely. If you let her escape, none of you will be allowed to live."

With that, Mr. Yao turned and left the room. After giving orders to the several burly men outside the door, he strode away.

"It seems this is Mr. Yao's final ultimatum. Good thing I've already successfully refined the Muscle-Relaxing Powder."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the jade bottle in her hand, a playful smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

Soon, night fell. Hazy moonlight blanketed the estate as though it had been covered in a layer of golden sand.

Four burly men leaned against the door, yawning continuously. They looked utterly exhausted.

Suddenly, one of the men lost all strength and fell stiffly to the ground.

The other three had just opened their mouths when they too felt all strength drain from their bodies, toppling stiffly onto the ground after him.

"Th-This... what's going on?"

The four men looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and terror.

Creak!

At that moment, a figure in white pushed open the door and slowly walked out.

It was Xiao Yi Xian.

"You..."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian emerge, the four men immediately understood. They glared at her furiously, but with no strength left in their bodies, they could only watch helplessly as she left the room.

"You should all lie there nicely."

Looking at the four fallen men, Xiao Yi Xian smiled smugly. Then, she took a bamboo whistle from her robes and gently blew out a wisp of sound.

A moment later, a Giant Blue Eagle flew swiftly over from the distance, circled above the estate, and slowly descended.

Xiao Yi Xian quickly climbed onto the giant eagle's back, wrapped her arms around its neck, and urged, "Little Blue, let's get out of here quickly."

At her words, Blue Eagle soared directly into the sky and was soon about to fly out of the estate.

Looking down at Mr. Yao rushing over in a furious rage, Xiao Yi Xian smiled smugly.

You think you can trap me, Xiao Yi Xian? No chance!

However, before Xiao Yi Xian could savor her triumph for long, her expression suddenly changed.

Several sharp whistling sounds suddenly rang out. The next moment, Xiao Yi Xian saw more than ten arrows shoot toward the Giant Blue Eagle.

"Damn it!"

"It's the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked down and saw dozens of people surrounding the estate, all dressed in the uniforms of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't behave yourself."

Mu Li sneered as he watched Xiao Yi Xian preparing to escape on Blue Eagle.

After Xiao Yi Xian had escaped from the cave on Blue Eagle last time, he had made special preparations this time.

Fearing that Mr. Yao might fail to keep Xiao Yi Xian and let her escape on the Blue Eagle, he had long since sent men to lie in wait outside the manor.

As it turned out, he had been right—Xiao Yi Xian really had planned to flee on the Blue Eagle.

"Little Blue, be careful."

Watching over a dozen arrows shoot toward them, Xiao Yi Xian anxiously warned the Blue Eagle.

Screech!

The Blue Eagle suddenly let out a sharp cry and violently beat its wings. A fierce gale swept out, blowing all the incoming arrows off course.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian finally let out a sigh of relief.

But before she could relax, another sharp arrow shot toward them with a piercing whistle, cutting straight through the gale without losing any momentum.

Screech!

The next moment, the Giant Blue Eagle let out a pained cry. The arrow pierced directly through its right wing, severely wounding it.

"Little Blue!"

Xiao Yi Xian cried out at the sight, her face filled with worry.

With its right wing injured, the Blue Eagle immediately lost its balance in flight and dropped a distance before enduring the pain and beating its wings to rise again.

Whoosh!

But at that moment, another piercing whistling sound rang out. An arrow came howling through the air and pierced straight through the Blue Eagle's left wing.

With both wings injured, the Blue Eagle could no longer hold on. It let out a miserable cry and slanted downward from the sky.

Terrified, Xiao Yi Xian tightly hugged the Blue Eagle's neck, fear written across her face.

"Father, it's fortunate we invited you here. Otherwise, Xiao Yi Xian really would have escaped today."

Outside the manor, Mu Li looked at the falling Blue Eagle with a faint smile and spoke to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Hurry and capture Xiao Yi Xian, lest something unexpected happen."

The middle-aged man was Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, a Dou Master. He had been the one to fire the two arrows that severely wounded the Blue Eagle.

"Xiao Yi Xian, let's see how you run this time."

A moment later, members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group surrounded the fallen Blue Eagle and Xiao Yi Xian. Mu Li looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a cold smile.

As he looked at Xiao Yi Xian's graceful figure, a lewd glint flashed through Mu Li's eyes.

He had long lusted after Xiao Yi Xian's body. Today, he would finally get his wish.

"Little Blue, are you all right?"

"Little Blue..."

Within the encirclement, Xiao Yi Xian looked anxiously at the severely wounded Blue Eagle, her face filled with grief and self-blame.

It was all because she was too weak that Little Blue would lose its life here today as well.

Looking at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group surrounding her from all sides, a trace of despair flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.

Am I going to die here today?
