Chapter 1253 - 555: Back to Back

Rescue you?

Fang Yu sized up the woman in front of him.

Speaking of looks, she was indeed quite decent.

It was apparent she came from an ordinary background, her hands rough with calluses from years of hard labor, with almost no maintenance, but her overall appearance was still considered passable, similar to his second sister, the type of natural beauty, though years of toil concealed this beauty.

However, appearance was just that, Fang Yu hadn’t forgotten that not long ago, this person was eavesdropping on the commotion in his room.

The reason Fang Yu didn’t slap her to death was simply that his Evil Qi was already too heavy; it wasn’t convenient to kill again, otherwise, this woman would already be a corpse by now.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Scram."

Fang Yu’s refusal was quite decisive.

Qin Er’s body stiffened.

"Young master, if you don’t save me, I will surely die! Please, show mercy..."

With that, Qin Er gritted her teeth and kowtowed heavily in Fang Yu’s direction.

However, before her head could hit the ground, Fang Yu had already closed the door.

Bang!

The moment the door closed, Qin Er barely got her kowtow in.

Her forehead hit the ground hard, blood oozing out.

She endured the pain, pressing her head to the ground, utterly still.

Qin Er had no way out.

Outside, the Foolish Underworld had them heavily surrounded. Besides relying on this man’s powers to help her out of this bind, she couldn’t think of any other way to escape this inn.

Now, with the door closed, the last hope of survival for Qin Er was all but extinguished.

This wasn’t just closing a door, it was a death sentence!

Tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks; Qin Er feared death, everyone did, she didn’t want to die.

Her silent sobbing and slightly trembling body made Qin Er appear so pitiful, yet no one saw this scene.

Until...

Creak.

The door, just closed for a moment, suddenly opened again.

"Why are you still here?"

Fang Yu said with a slight frown.

Fang Yu was concerned about staining his hands with more Evil Qi, but Ding Hui had no such scruples. If she persisted shamelessly, Ding Hui could easily twist this woman’s head off.

Fang Yu’s seemingly ordinary words, just tinged with a hint of displeasure, made Qin Er, still kneeling on the ground, tremble all over with fear.

She didn’t dare to lift her head to look at Fang Yu because she didn’t have the courage.

When she faced Fang Yu just now, she felt an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from him, making her feel scared.

The indifference to life and death, the sensation that she could be crushed at any moment, made her shiver.

Just as Qin Er didn’t know what to do, suddenly... a melodious female voice rang out.

"She’s the one who was eavesdropping on us next door? Interesting, the one who was spying on us is now kneeling and begging us for help. Little one, who are you working for?"

This voice, Qin Er had heard before.

More accurately, she had eavesdropped on it.

It was the woman staying in the same room with this young master.

Perhaps because she was also a woman, or perhaps because this was her final shred of hope, Qin Er summoned the last of her courage, her voice trembling.

"M-my lady, I was tasked by the Rebel Army to stay in this inn."

"Rebel Army?"

Fang Yu felt unfamiliar, but Ding Hui’s eyes brightened.

"Interesting, I didn’t expect the Rebel Army to have such keen senses."

Ding Hui paused and continued, "But it’s still a pity that the Rebel Army sent a small fry like you to observe us. It seems we’re really being underestimated."

Qin Er kept her head pressed to the ground, listening to Ding Hui’s words, not daring to express any opinion.

She was sent by the Rebel Army to spy on them.

Mentioning the Rebel Army almost confirmed her enemy status.

But faced with their questioning, Qin Er didn’t dare to lie, she could only tell the truth.

She thought they would immediately kill her after hearing about the Rebel Army, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a small glimmer of hope?

Qin Er’s heart pounded, though still nervous and afraid, deep inside, there was a sliver of hope.

"Rebel Army? What’s that?"

Fang Yu looked perplexed, he hadn’t heard of such a thing.

"It’s somewhat like the Resistance Army. Because of the Blue Blood Disease, Thunder City has oppressed the lower levels of society miserably, and the people below couldn’t take it anymore, so the Rebel Army was born."

"Of course, considering the Rebel Army is still active on various levels in Thunder City, clearly, this organization didn’t just pop out of nowhere, and it doesn’t seem like something grassroots could have generated on its own. It’s likely been premeditated, only surfacing when the opportunity arose."

"Thinking about who’s really behind this organization could be quite interesting."

Ding Hui chuckled to herself, making others feel a bit mystified.

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Ding Hui’s intelligence gathering was quite thorough, not only explaining the Rebel Army’s situation but also offering some analysis of who’s behind it.

Fang Yu didn’t have much of a reaction to this, he just said.

"Since she’s with the Rebel Army, kill her, you do it."

As soon as he spoke, Qin Er’s eyes widened in shock, she was on the verge of wetting herself, literally.

With such extreme fear, her body became uncontrollable, unable to move.

It wasn’t a matter of wanting to stand up and escape; she physically couldn’t.

What kind of murderer is this, ready to take her life with just a word!
