avilion, sealing off the entire official road for the day. Other citizens had to use other city gates to enter and exit."Haven't you arrived yet" asked the Prince Ning.A strategist behind him replied,...Chapter 378: The Holy Maiden Hid Here

The night is cool as water.

The snow is as cold as ice.

A shot of liquor went down his throat. Before the burning sensation could rise, Li Chen's head felt instantly cold.

The moment Li Chen saw the saintess, the words he was about to call for the guards reached his lips. Just as he was about to shout them out, Li Chen abruptly stopped the sound that had already been uttered.

He sensed something was wrong.

There's no reason why, having seen the Holy Maiden, she wouldn't have noticed him.

It's highly likely that he just climbed up himself and willingly went to his death. The Holy Maiden, who was successfully waiting for prey, would immediately slap this self-delivered target to death with her palm.

Thinking from the saint's point of view, Li Chen would have to laugh out loud. Is there really such a good thing in the world as hitting the jackpot

But the reality was that the saint lay motionless on the tiled roof, clad in white, blending seamlessly with the surrounding snow. If you didn't approach closely, you wouldn't be able to see her at all.

He cautiously crept closer and Li Chen saw that the Saintess' eyes were tightly shut, her breathing was faint. Though not dead, she was in a state of unconsciousness.

Thus, everything can be explained.

The holy maiden fainted on this rooftop, and didn't immediately realize her arrival.

After reacting, Li Chen, who was so scared in the previous second that he wanted to call for protection immediately, now had a surge of murderous intent.

Even with her superior martial arts skills, she is helpless at the moment.

The prey that was delivered for free is good, but the prey that’s around now isn't me.

Relieved that the saintess was indeed unconscious, Li Chen didn't even bother calling for the guards in a hurry.

This holy maiden, with a veil obscuring her face, could she be a hideous monster

Just looking at her eyebrows and eyes, it's really impossible.

Li Chen reached out his hand, wanting to lift the veil from the saintess's face and take a good look, then called for the guards to come and tie the saintess up.

Just as Li Chen's fingers were about to touch the veil, the saint, with her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them.

Her eyes were stunningly beautiful, beyond the realm of ordinary human beauty.

Even with only half of her face visible, her beauty was no less stunning than Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa's.

What's different, though, is that these eyes are icy cold, devoid of any emotion a normal person would possess.

Li Chen's hand froze in mid-air.

Facing the saintess' eyes, Li Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

The air suddenly grew thick with tension.

"Advance another inch, and you die."

The saintess's icy voice brought Li Chen back to his senses instantly.

"That sounds threatening, but if you actually had the ability to kill me right now, why wouldn't you just do it"

"Li Chen said calmly: 'During the day, you called for my death, even almost killing me. Now, I've killed all your companions, leaving only you, and yet you don't make a move' "

Wei Wei leaned closer to the saintess, and Li Chen said: "Are you not allowed to make a move, or are you unable to"

The saintess stared coldly at Li Chen, without saying a word.

But her stillness, without any movement whatsoever, already proved Li Chen right.

The Saintess now, was completely spent. Heavily wounded, she didn't even have the strength to move.

He confirmed this, thinking that the assassination attempt by Bai Lian Jiao earlier today had frightened him badly. It was all thanks to the woman in front of him. Li Chen's heart immediately filled with anger.

Driven by a surge of audacity, Li Chen didn't hesitate for a moment. With the speed he had never before mustered, he ripped the veil from the Holy Maiden's face!

The gauze was as thin as a cicada's wing, smooth and soft to the touch. The only flaw was the streak of crimson blood that made the otherwise silky feel slightly sticky.

And beneath the veil, was a flawless and beautiful face.

Even though Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinping had already spoiled him, ordinary women would no longer catch his eye. At this moment, when Li Chen saw the saint's appearance, he was also taken aback by her beauty. his mind.He didn't know if Zhou Changshou was telling the truth.But putting himself in Zhou Changshou's position, Wu Yong immediately came to a terrible conclusion.Zhou Changshou would absolutely not...
