Empress Fu Yao [Volume 1] (COMPLETED)✔

Starlight would rise

Meng Fuyao leapt up and jumped down, running on top of the soldiers' heads. She saw that the capital city troops and palace guards battling in the center of Yanjing had gradually lessened. Although, the capital troops seemed to have reorganized with a stronger commanding after going through a period of chaos, and had started to orderly counterattack while simultaneously retreating. Fuyao noticed an alley didn't have many people and charged into it. Just when she had sprinted a couple steps, she sensed a flickering in front of her eyes, and a shadowy streak slipped past her side like a swimming fish. She vaguely saw an ashen, long face, that person's steps extremely quick as he turned like a fish to zip around her. Meng Fuyao's head didn't even turn back as she grabbed backwards, laughing, "Traitor, where are you going?"

That person turned his head frantically. Sure enough, it was the dishonorable Yao Xun who ditched Meng Fuyao to flee two days ago in that broken-down temple in northern city. Right now his whole face was filled with panic, his whole body bruised and unceasingly trembling as if he was suffering from malaria. Seeing Fuyao, first he was so scared that he leaped up into the air, then he revealed a gleeful expression as he sobbed, "Grandaunty it's you ... save me, save me!"

"Save you?" Meng Fuyao gave him a sideways look. "And wait for you to betray me again?"

"That was in a moment of confusion," Yao Xun hurriedly made continuous bows and gestures of humble begging, "Lady Meng if you help me, in the future I will definitely work for you with absolute loyalty!"

"Humph, only an idiot would believe you!" Meng Fuyao threw him aside with a grab and instantly set off. She had not yet strode out a step, before a sudden burst of jingling noises sounded from in front of her, and then a streak of rainbow-colored light flew over with eye-piercingly gorgeous brightness. From the distance could be heard a crisp voice, like stringed crystal beads falling onto the floor, containing smugness, arrogance, and a little bit of anger.

"Where are you going to run now?"

With a foot Fuyao kicked Yao Xun behind an alley corner, while she blocked at the alley entrance, leaning on the corridor wall with a forced smile. As expected, the person arrived with the sound, and Ya Lanzhu flew over like a cloud shining with vibrant colors from a glazed mirror.

"Where is he where is he where is he!"

Meng Fuyao chewed on some strands of grass from the wall seams, lazily saying, "Are you talking about that long-faced guy who just went past? There's a battle up ahead and they didn't have enough people, he got conscripted."

"Really?" Ya Lanzhu skeptically stared wide-eyed. Suddenly, she slanted her head to look at Meng Fuyao. She then said, "Hey, your face looks familiar."

Meng Fuyao spit out the grass, then laughed, "That's right, I'm your neighbor's paternal aunt's cousin's maternal aunt's older sister's cheating husband's mistress' little sister's teacher."

Ya Lanzhu widened her eyes, counting with her fingers to carefully calculate this intricate, complex relationship. After thinking for a while, she suddenly turned furious, her small knife-like eyebrows rising high up. "You're fooling with me!" Her voice had yet to fall before her blade had already come slicing over.

Fuyao's fingers lifted up, three fingers shooting towards the acupoint in the center of her palm like halberds. Ya Lanzhu hurriedly retracted her hand, but Meng Fuyao had already changed her hand motion; like drifting clouds and flowing water it slid, and the "Divine Illusion" ninth style of "Breaking Nine Heavens" swiftly and lightly pressed onto Ya Lanzhu's pulse.

With a light laugh, Fuyao flung her out with a lift of her hand, throwing her with a 360 degree spin. When Ya Lanzhu landed on the ground she actually didn't fall down, her arm still frozen in that raised position. Meng Fuyao went over with a smile, flicked her still shaking nose, and said slowly, "Little girl, people that I cover for, I will bully. You should just go to the side."
