Chapter 081: Mr. Dongguo

Lin Yi didn’t expect the girl to be grateful, but it seemed she had no intention of letting him off!

While Lin Yi was focused on boiling the medicine and didn’t turn to acknowledge the girl, a killing intent came from behind him, and the jade pendant on his mountain also moved slightly, sending a signal of danger.

Lin Yi frowned, but at this critical moment of boiling the medicine, he didn’t want to be distracted. "Stop fooling around!"

Yang Qiqi was in a dilemma at this moment. Although she had fainted from excessive blood loss on the way out of the pharmacy, when Lin Yi pulled down her pants, the pain from her wound made her regain some consciousness and clarity. However, due to her extreme weakness, she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes and fainted again.

Later, when Lin Yi treated her wound and applied medicine, Yang Qiqi woke up in pain again and immediately fainted. So, she still had a general impression of what happened afterward.

This man in the room had saved her, but at the same time, he had seen things he shouldn’t have! Her face, her legs... This was something Yang Qiqi could never tolerate!

Although killing her savior made Yang Qiqi feel uneasy, her beauty was meant to bloom for only one man in her life, and this man had already crossed her line!

Having made up her mind, Yang Qiqi reached for her dagger by the bed and quietly appeared behind Lin Yi. However, seeing him fully focused on boiling the medicine, Yang Qiqi’s movements clearly paused.

Is he boiling medicine for me? Yang Qiqi felt a warmth in her heart and hesitated to act.

Yang Qiqi admitted that her heart couldn’t be as cold and ruthless as other killers. After all, this man in the room was her savior!

Just as Yang Qiqi was hesitating, Lin Yi, like scolding a child, told her to "stop fooling around!" This clearly stunned Yang Qiqi! She was about to kill him, and he told her to stop fooling around?

Does he think I just came down to wander around the room?

"Didn’t you hear the story of Mr. Dongguo when you were a child?" Lin Yi still didn’t turn around and said to himself, "I feel like I’m that Mr. Dongguo in the story now."

Yang Qiqi’s expression changed. She naturally knew the story of Mr. Dongguo. Although she had grown up in a killer organization, she was different from other killers. Besides her killer training, she had also received other formal education.

The story of Mr. Dongguo is a classic fable about a man named Dongguo who saved a wolf, only for the wolf to turn around and try to eat him.

However, Lin Yi’s words also reminded Yang Qiqi that his previous "stop fooling around" wasn’t said casually; he had already sensed that she was going to kill him!

His subsequent mention of the story of Mr. Dongguo proved this point. He was subtly criticizing her ingratitude!

Who is this man? Yang Qiqi was startled. He could sense her hostile intentions from behind without reacting. Was he overconfident, or...

Then, the purpose of this man treating her wounds was also questionable! A chill ran through Yang Qiqi’s heart, and she made up her mind. The dagger in her hand moved faster, and she struck Lin Yi’s neck without hesitation.

Lin Yi didn’t expect the female killer to still be at it, taking advantage of his occupied hands? He frowned, suddenly turned his head, and avoided Yang Qiqi’s dagger. He then bit down on the dagger, and of course, also bit her fingers.

"Ah—" Yang Qiqi’s hand hurt, and the dagger fell from her grasp. Her body hadn’t recovered, and she had only managed to stand and walk behind Lin Yi through sheer willpower. After the dagger fell, Yang Qiqi felt as if she had collapsed, sitting on the floor and panting heavily. Her leg wound seemed to have been aggravated, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

Lin Yi spat out the dagger and continued boiling the medicine. "You are indeed ungrateful! But never mind, a real man doesn’t fight with a woman. You’d better leave now, so I don’t end up killing you after I finish the medicine."

At this moment, Yang Qiqi understood that Lin Yi was no ordinary person. Could an ordinary person have dodged her sneak attack? Could an ordinary person bite a dagger? From Lin Yi’s words, Yang Qiqi also realized that the Chinese medicine wasn’t for her; she had been mistaken!

"Hmph!" Yang Qiqi’s eyes were filled with humiliation and unwillingness. She wasn’t rash; as a killer, she couldn’t afford to be. Rash killers were killed first and couldn’t survive to this day.

Since Lin Yi could easily take away her dagger even with his hands occupied, Yang Qiqi gave up the idea of attacking again. She wasn’t Lin Yi’s match! Even when she wasn’t injured, she couldn’t guarantee that she could deal with this man!

This man exuded no killing intent, not even a trace, but he gave her a feeling of being unfathomable! Truly unfathomable, a feeling she only had when facing her father in the organization.

Yang Qiqi silently picked up her leather pants from the floor. Although they were stained with blood, it had dried, and besides being a bit uncomfortable, it didn’t affect the appearance. The key issue was that there were no other clothes to change into in the room.

"Remember to close the door when you leave," Lin Yi said as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

"..." Yang Qiqi left the room and slammed the door shut.

"One, I’m sorry, this man saved my life, and I’m not his match now... But don’t worry, I’ll remember him. One day, I’ll kill him myself, because I am only your little Seven..." Yang Qiqi silently made a vow. In fact, Yang Qiqi wasn’t originally named Yang Qiqi; "Seven" was just a code name in her killer training group. She was the youngest, so she was naturally the seventh. The other members of the group were also named with numbers.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, who was boiling medicine in the room, didn’t realize that his good deed had been remembered by someone.

"Achoo!" Lin Yi sneezed. He thought to himself, I’ve smelled this Chinese medicine before, why am I sneezing? This was the second sneeze today. Lin Yi sniffed, could he really be catching a cold?

When did my body become so weak? I caught a cold as soon as I arrived at Songshan. Could it be because I’m too idle?
