There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 250 Beautiful Roses

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

The succubus was cornered against a hole in the wall by the two men. Seeing that she couldn't win, she broke her guard and shouted.

"Ninth Brother, as the sixth-ranked assassin in the martial world, how dare you grovel before a mere young girl? What face do you have left to live in this world?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Jiu didn't say a word, but instead slashed at the succubus's body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The succubus braced her left leg against the hole in the wall, using both hands to block the blade aimed at her.

"General Liang, that blow from me should have killed you instantly, so why did you survive? If you hadn't survived, I wouldn't be in this wretched state today."

Liang Yuying said coldly, "I deserve to live, you deserve to die."

With a "rip"

Liang Yuying pierced the succubus's chest with her sword.

The succubus raised her head, a smirk playing on her lips, and said, "If any one of you came, you wouldn't be a match for me. So why would a江湖 assassin cooperate with a court general? Is it because of this young girl I didn't manage to sleep with? Ha, this girl has a fiery personality, which I really like. If I could sleep with her once before I die, it would be worth it."

Having said that, he drew his sword and charged straight at Li Shuchen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Shuchen raised his stick with all his might, ready to fight.

Lao Jiu used his lightness skill to quickly catch up with the succubus and blocked her with a single strike.

Liang Yuying swung her sword, her anger blazing, pinning the succubus to the wall: "Succubus, give up on that idea!"

"Hahaha, hahaha"

Seeing that he was unharmed, Li Shuchen removed the cloth from the succubus's eyes and looked directly at him, asking, "Succubus, why did you treat those girls like that? They didn't provoke you; they were completely innocent."

The succubus roared to the sky, "Hahaha, they are innocent, hahaha, they are innocent, but is my mother not innocent?"

Li Shuchen frowned and asked, "Your mother?"

"From a young age, my mother and I depended on each other for survival. Although we lived in poverty, we were happy. However, one day, a wealthy man came and raped my mother, forcing me to witness it. Afterward, he tortured my mother to death and even ordered his men to beat me to death."

Ha ha,

They probably never expected this, but not only did I survive, I also mastered martial arts. No one in the capital is my match. I'll return to the capital to take revenge, killing his entire family and even his servants! Hahahaha! In this way, I've avenged my mother!"

Li Shuchen sighed with pity. Life is unpredictable; who knew a succubus could suffer such a fate?

"Now that you've taken your revenge, why have you reappeared? To continue your vengeance?"

The succubus said lazily, "Of course not, it's liking, it's addiction, it's nostalgia. You don't know, the younger you are, the more enjoyable the experience."

Unable to contain his anger upon hearing this, Li Shuchen slapped the wooden stick away, sending its tip hurtling straight into the succubus's right eye.

"Boom"

A bluish-purple circle suddenly appeared

"Hahaha, little girl, you really have a bad temper. My biggest regret now is not sleeping with you."

Li Shuchen slapped the wooden stick away again, aiming straight for the succubus's left eye.

"Boom"

Another bluish-purple circle suddenly appeared.

The succubus lowered her head and remained silent.

Li Shuchen loudly questioned, "Since you've already injured someone, why did you deliberately make a commotion and attract the victim's family? You left a second ago, and they arrived the next second. They'll think they could catch you, the culprit, if they were just a little faster, but you won't be caught. How painful and hateful they must be!"

The succubus laughed through her tears, "Hahaha, of course they need to see it in time. They should also experience this feeling of being willing but powerless. You have no idea how melodious and beautiful the cries of those people are."

"abnormal"

Li Shuchen slapped the wooden stick away again, aiming straight for the succubus's mouth.

"Boom"

Another bluish-purple circle suddenly appeared.

"Little girl, you're so fierce, can anyone tame you? And if they do, can they stand you?"

"It's none of your business."

Li Shuchen grabbed Lao Jiu's knife and began hacking wildly at the succubus, slashing once, twice, three times, each strike drawing blood. He continued swinging the knife relentlessly until the succubus stopped breathing.

Li Shuchen finally put down the knife and gasped for breath.

Old Jiu stepped forward to help Li Shuchen up: "Miss, are you alright?"

Li Shuchen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, Ninth Brother. Didn't I tell you to watch the inn? Why did you come here?"

Ninth Brother: "When Miss climbed onto the roof, my sister and I already knew. My sister was worried about Miss, so she asked me to follow and protect her."

Liang Yuying: "Luckily, Lao Jiu came, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill the succubus by myself."

Li Shuchen: "Why are succubi so powerful?"

Old Nine: "He's third on the list of assassins in the martial arts world. 'Succubus' is what the common people call him; his real name is Qingmei."

Li Shuchen: "Qingmei? Why would an assassin like him want to kill Yuying? Could it be that someone in the capital bribed him?"

Old Nine shook his head and said, "The top three assassins on the leaderboard are impossible to hire even with money."

Li Shuchen: "Why is that? Could it be some kind of special secret order? Ninth Brother, check him for anything."

"Yes, miss"

Why did Li Shuchen ask Lao Jiu to search? Because she was disgusted by the succubus and didn't want to encounter her in the slightest.

After searching for a while, Lao Jiu said, "Miss, there's a jade pendant."

Li Shuchen took it and saw that it was a piece of white jade shaped like a goldfish. He showed it to Liang Yuying and asked, "Yuying, do you recognize this?"

Liang Yuying: I don't know her.

"Ninth Brother, what about you?"

Old Nine replied in the same way, "I don't know him."

Li Shuchen glanced at the jade pendant again and said, "This jade pendant will definitely be useful. Yuying, keep it safe."

Liang Yuying took the jade pendant and put it in her bosom, asking, "What does Shu Chen plan to do with the succubus?"

Li Shuchen: "I want to hang the succubus image on the main beam of East Street so that people know the succubus has been caught and will no longer harm people, allowing them to return to their normal lives. And most importantly, it will give the victims' families some closure."

"Good"*2

The three men, carrying the succubus, arrived at East Street. Old Nine leaped onto the roof beam and hung her there.

Li Shuchen stood under the pillar, pondering how to conceal the fact that she had left the mark of a noble female knight-errant from the two of them. Then she realized she was overthinking it; she couldn't possibly fool Yu Ying and Lao Jiu.

He simply pulled a large, red velvet rose with gold dust from his boot and handed it to Lao Jiu, saying, "Help me put this flower on the main beam, and make sure it looks nice."

Old Nine, not understanding what was going on, still obeyed the order and leaped onto the main beam again.

Liang Yuying: "Shu Chen, why are you putting flowers out?"

Li Shuchen grinned and said, "I promised an old lady I would catch the succubus, and I can't break my promise."

After saying that, he wrote the words "The noble heroine was here" in large characters.

Looking up at the beautiful rose, my heart brightened; finally, everything was resolved.

A dull ache shot through his chest. Li Shuchen rubbed it, forcing a smile, and said, "Let's go home, let's go home and sleep."

"Good"*2

Li Shuchen was walking towards the inn, but a metallic taste kept rising in her throat. She was afraid she would frighten the people in the inn.

Turning to Lao Jiu with a smile, I said, "I suddenly feel like going home. Lao Jiu, you go back to the inn and tell Grape I'm home, so she won't worry."

"Yes, miss"

Liang Yuying had noticed Li Shuchen's unusual behavior early on, and supported her the whole way, her brows furrowed the entire time.

When Li Shuchen reached his doorstep, he couldn't hold back and vomited another mouthful of blood.
