Chapter 52: The Ice Beauty’s Embrace

As the name ‘Duan Yulan’ escaped Qiao Xia’s lips, the embrace tightened, leaving him feeling as though he could barely breathe.

Although Duan Yulan possessed a good figure, no matter how soft she felt, her strength was simply overwhelming.

Wait, no!

Sister, this is an emergency! What kind of conduct is this, embracing me like this?

The Red-Eyed Patients wouldn’t stop; they were still attacking relentlessly. The continuous screams ringing out nearby were proof enough that the crisis was far from over, and the Red-Eyed Patients continued their rampage.

In particular, the students on the rooftop were like silent lambs, easily slaughtered.

Killing them was simply too easy.

After confirming that the person was indeed Duan Yulan, Qiao Xia’s initial surprise quickly gave way to the realization of their current danger. Just as he was about to raise his hands to push Duan Yulan away, she unexpectedly released her grip.

Immediately afterward, a cold gleam flashed before his eyes, appearing exceptionally sharp and clear under the moonlight.

Qiao Xia’s eyes widened, staring in utter disbelief at the scene before him, feeling as though he hadn’t yet awakened from a dream!

What had he just witnessed?

How could Duan Yulan’s combat skills be so extraordinary?

Hell, was that parkour?

For a moment, Qiao Xia felt his eyes weren’t fast enough. He couldn’t keep up with Duan Yulan’s blade movements, only seeing the heads of the Red-Eyed Patients severed with effortless swings, like chopping melons and vegetables. They offered no resistance whatsoever.

Even the Red-Eyed Patients armed with weapons couldn’t even touch the hem of Duan Yulan’s clothes. Instead, in the midst of their attacks, Duan Yulan pierced their heads clean through with a single strike, instantly rendering them immobile and causing them to collapse to the ground.

The one-sided slaughter immediately shifted the moment Duan Yulan joined the fray.

In less than five minutes, no Red-Eyed Patient remained standing on the rooftop, only their corpses.

Duan Yulan then deftly flicked the hilt of her blade, shaking off all the blood from the edge, before smoothly sliding the sword back into its sheath.

Her black form-fitting attire not only accentuated her graceful figure but also seemed to merge with the night. Yet, her exquisitely striking face stood out, drawing everyone’s attention.

Her indifferent eyes appeared colder than a winter well, causing the students on the rooftop to remain hesitant to approach, even though the danger had passed. They stayed rooted in their spots, their gazes fixed on Duan Yulan with a mix of excitement and adoration.

Their goddess, besides her astonishing beauty, possessed incredibly formidable strength!

While everyone was astonished by Duan Yulan, Qiao Xia’s focus was on the Tang-style saber at her waist. He couldn’t help but marvel at its sharpness, wondering if such an exceptional blade could truly be found in their country.

However, considering Duan Yulan’s powerful background, owning such a superb weapon wasn’t entirely surprising.

Eyeing Duan Yulan’s Tang saber with a hint of envy, Qiao Xia then glanced at the fruit knife in his own hand… Well, the difference was like heaven and earth; they simply couldn’t compare.

Fortunately, he still had his cheat.

Wait, could Duan Yulan’s swift and decisive elimination of the Red-Eyed Patients be the reason the cheat’s warning function hadn’t activated?

In other words, no matter how thrilling the process, if there was no danger within ten minutes, the premonition wouldn’t appear!

For instance, this time, because Duan Yulan appeared, even though a large number of Red-Eyed Patients swarmed the rooftop, no premonition warning had been triggered.

“Ah, it hurts so much, save me!”

“Isn’t that Duan Yulan, the campus belle from Class One? She’s so fierce, truly amazing!”

“I was scratched by a red-eyed lunatic. Am I going to die? Sob, sob, I’m still young, I don’t want to die!”

“Quick, grab some food, I’m so hungry.”

As the immediate danger subsided, the rooftop plunged into a new round of chaos. Everyone shouted and scrambled in disarray, their cries echoing exceptionally clearly in the night.

Perhaps all the Red-Eyed Patients lingering on the fourth and fifth floors of the teaching building had already rushed up, for despite the incessant noise, no new Red-Eyed Patients burst through the damaged iron door.

This only caused the chaos to escalate further, to the point where even Li Lin Guan and his subordinates couldn’t bring it under control.

Amidst such pandemonium, after dealing with the Red-Eyed Patients, Duan Yulan paid no further attention to the others. Instead, she swiftly made her way towards Qiao Xia.

Her obsidian-like eyes stared intently at Qiao Xia alone, as if she saw no one else in her vision.

This suddenly gave Qiao Xia a bad premonition!

Seeing another tight embrace about to envelop him, Qiao Xia, now wary, quickly sidestepped.

Alas, he wasn’t as fast as Duan Yulan…

After being hugged tightly once more, Qiao Xia suddenly felt like crying without tears, experiencing sexual harassment for the second time.

Although Duan Yulan was a great beauty, and her embrace was both fragrant and soft, this did not negate the fact of sexual harassment!

Fortunately, the rooftop was quite chaotic at the moment, and only a small number of people noticed their interaction.

Nevertheless, a collective gasp of cold air still arose, reminding Qiao Xia that he needed to quickly extricate himself from Duan Yulan’s harassment.

“Duan Yulan, let’s talk things through, please let go first! Men and women shouldn’t touch intimately. Don’t always be hugging and embracing; I’m still…”

Qiao Xia tentatively reached out to push Duan Yulan. Unable to move her, he resorted to verbal communication, hoping to persuade Duan Yulan not to be so hands-on in the future.

Even if she was a woman and he was a man, it was still inappropriate!

It would look bad.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Qiao Xia looked down at Duan Yulan’s upturned lips in his arms, and he suddenly couldn’t speak.

Was there anything funny about what he had just said?

What was Duan Yulan laughing at?

And wasn’t Duan Yulan known as the ‘Ice Beauty,’ rarely seen smiling? Why was she suddenly smiling now?

“This is great, you’re still the same… This time… absolutely…”

“Huh?”

Qiao Xia then heard Duan Yulan murmur in his arms, her voice broken and indistinct, making it hard for him to hear clearly.

In response to Qiao Xia’s confusion, Duan Yulan said nothing more, simply releasing her hands obediently.

Just as Qiao Xia was about to quickly retreat, she swiftly took his hand.

She gave him no time or opportunity to step back.

“Qiao Xia, I will protect you forever. I won’t let anyone harm you.”

Duan Yulan’s smile quickly vanished, her expression now serious, as if she were uttering the most sacred vow.
