The Phoenix's
Episodes 13. Assassin

Ye Wu Shuang was still lying on his comfortable bed. He closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep to welcome the arrival of the assassins who were eyeing his head.

Tok Tok Tok!

A female servant knocked on the door of Ye Wu Shuang's room, the maid came with a colleague who also worked as a servant. His comrades opened the door slowly, they entered the room carefully so as not to let out any noise.

The two servants came to deliver dinner with a multi-storey wooden box. Inside the wooden box contained a bowl of rice with several types of vegetables.

After putting all the food on the table, the two maids came out and closed the door again slowly.

Ye Wu Shuang opened his eyes for a moment, he glanced to the side, looking up at the table that was now filled with plenty of food. His stomach was starving, yet he refrained from making his enemy standby.

Ye Wu Shuang again closed his eyes while putting up his sharp hearing to know the movements of the assassins who were starting to approach.

Eight men infiltrated Gu's residence. They quickly learned the whereabouts of Ye Wu Shuang's room after following a servant assigned to deliver dinner to the Gu family's guest room.

"St! Don't be noisy!" The whisper of a man dressed in black with a face covering that was also black.

One of the men opened the door. The six men entered the room, while the other two men just stood up and guarded outside the door.

One of the men called by Shan's name approached the bed, he took out a dagger and started swinging the small blade with a sharp tip towards Ye Wu Shuang's heart.

Just then Ye Wu Shuang opened his eyes and held back the dagger that stabbed into his body with both hands. The tip of the blade stopped right at Ye Wu Shuang's pink clothes. He smiled sinisterly as he looked at the two eyeballs of Shan the assassin who was trying to stab his heart.

"Hey! Has no one ever taught you that sneak attacks are shameful?" Ye Wu Shuang sneaked a dagger from Shan's hand.

Shan was shocked and retreated his steps, but unfortunately his dagger had now changed hands.

Ye Wu Shuang got up and stood up. He looked around the room, paying attention and counting the number of enemies he had to defeat in the immediate time before the owner of the residence was disturbed.

The dagger in Ye Wu Shuang's hand was now circling around, he was playing the sharp knife while staring at the first target he was going to finish off with Shan's weapon which he currently had become his weapon.

"Because you're the closest, you'll meet the King of Hell first." Ye Wu Shuang muttered with a cynical smile.

Syutts!

Ye Wu Shuang threw the dagger that had been spinning rapidly in his hand. The dagger flew while spinning and headed straight for where the man that Ye Wu Shuang was targeting was.

The dagger continued to spin and fly until it slashed the flesh and blood vessels in the man's neck. The dagger flew back and spun towards Ye Wu Shuang. The young girl caught the dagger and went back to playing the dagger with her finger.

Aaakkk!

The man held his neck with both hands, before long blood burst out from the knife-edge incision thrown by Ye Wu Shuang.

Bruckk!

The man fell down and exhaled his last breath with his eyes wide open.

The five companions of the man widened their eyes, as if not believing what they had just seen.

Ye Wu Shuang grinned, the five men immediately shuddered in horror when he saw Ye Wu Shuang's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to kill them with just a single glance.

"Sir first, be careful! He's not trash as rumored out there." Said a man named Du Su.

Shan nodded in understanding. He certainly knew what was happening because he had seen with both his own eyes.

Ye Wu Shuang again aimed at his target, the sharp blade that was still circling around his fingers gave the assassins goosebumps.

"You're second, because you talk too much!" Ye Wu Shuang said as he looked into Du Su's eyes.

The knife flew back towards Du Su's neck. The man panicked, his two eyeballs trembled and his body stiffened for a moment. The knife also managed to tear the skin and blood vessels in the man's neck. He fell down and fell down with blood.

The four remaining men inside the room immediately retreated their footsteps, trying to get away from Ye Wu Shuang who currently looked like a life-seeking angel.

Seeing the shrinking guts of the assassins eyeing his life, Ye Wu Shuang laughed amusedly. His face was visibly irritated with eyes that looked down on the men before him.

"Ckk! It turned out that only a weak man was sent to kill me. I became curious, how useless was the owner of this real body until they sent these clowns to interrupt my dinner time?!" Ye Wu Shuang's annoyance in mind.

As he groaned with an angry heart, Yin Qiu jumped into the room through the window. The current Yin Qiu was still in the form of a cute white fox.

Ye Wu Shuang greeted Yin Qiu with a warm smile, while the four murderous men were instead surprised by the sudden presence of Yin Qiu.

"It turns out it's just a fox!" Shan muttered while calming down from his surprise.

Yin Qiu turned his head and looked at the men in black. He lowered his gaze, looking at the floor, where lay two men drenched in blood who were no longer alive. Yin Qiu again raised his gaze, he looked and watched the movements of the assassins there.

Realizing that the existence of the assassins there was aimed at killing the miss he served, Yin Qiu's anger rose to the point of nearly blowing up the entire Gu residence. Luckily Pai Hu arrived faster and immediately stopped Yin Qiu who had just cast destruction magic from both of his eyes.

"We must not harm the people who live in this residence!" Pai Hu said via telepathy.

Yin Qiu stored back his magic even though his blood still felt boiling. He looked at Ye Wu Shuang, investigating the state of the young miss. After making sure that Ye Wu Shuang was okay, the white fox calmed down again.

Ye Wu Shuang smiled sweetly at the anger of Yin Qiu, he was happy that the fox was angry for his sake.

"Relax, these people have come to be my training dolls. Yin Qiu, Pai Hu, cover the surroundings of the room and do not let anyone come and I also do not want anyone to come out of this room! Let's start the real exercise."

"Okay, Miss Phoenix!" Answer the two simultaneously while bowing your head.

Ye Wu Shuang sharpened his eyes, he turned his head towards the assassins who were still standing with trembling eyeballs.

"They're not human!" Said one of the goosebumps as he looked into Yin Qiu's eyes.

"Silumans or ghosts or supernatural beings running around, I don't want to deal with them!" The other killer.

"Let's run!" Bring the assassin closest to the exit.
