I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad?

Chapter 413: Since You Won’t Choose, I’ll Choose for You

Red blood splashed onto Ye Qianning’s small face, but she didn’t pause. She spun around, grabbed Zhan Chi’s hand, and yanked him from the longsword before he could even react.

She let go, and Zhan Chi stumbled forward from the momentum. Without even a glance, she lunged at the still-shocked man in black and seized his wrist.

It all happened too fast. The man in black only snapped out of his daze when she gripped his wrist. He tried to pull his hand back but found he couldn’t move it an inch. Lowering his gaze, he met a pair of pitch-black eyes brimming with killing intent.

His heart leaped. ’Such powerful killing intent.’

The man in black quickly reached with his other hand, trying to grab his longsword. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Still gripping his wrist, Ye Qianning moved a step faster, knocking the longsword away. She leaped up, her body a blur as she moved from his waist to his neck, engaging in close-quarters combat.

Despite her chubby build, she was as agile as an eel. The man in black couldn’t break free and tried to use his Inner Strength to blast her away.

But his Inner Strength vanished the moment he summoned it.

Because a sharp dagger had already swiped across his neck. He was in the very act of unleashing his Inner Strength when, in the blink of an eye, his throat was slit.

The woman’s eyes filled with shock. She couldn’t believe someone had broken her Illusion Technique in an instant and had so easily killed two Shadow Guards with extremely high levels of Inner Strength.

’How is this possible...!’

Zhan Chi landed face-down on the ground. Ignoring the pain, he rolled over to look at Ye Qianning. The dagger was exceedingly bright in the night, but it was no match for her eyes, which were filled with killing intent.

They were pitch-black and impossible to ignore, sending a tremor of shock through his heart.

She had silently, in the blink of an eye, killed two men in black.

Meeting her gaze, Zhan Chi felt an indescribable mix of shock and heartache. He knew she was capable, but he never imagined such a small child could hide such terrifying killing intent.

’What... what in the world did she go through in Nanyuan?’

’A six-year-old child. She’s only six.’

A bone-deep ache filled Zhan Chi’s heart. He scrambled up from the ground and reached out to Ye Qianning. "Qian Ning, come. Come to me."

Ye Qianning’s legs were wrapped around the waist of the man in black. One hand held his head, while the other held the dagger, which was still at his neck.

Blood trickled down the dagger, coating her hand before dripping to the ground.

Hearing his voice, Ye Qianning merely lifted her eyelids slightly before jumping off the man’s body.

THUMP. The body of the man in black fell, sending up a splash of water.

The man in black fighting Luo Wen happened to glance down and saw his two fallen companions. He was utterly shocked.

SWISH! SQUELCH!

Luo Wen seized the opening created by his shock. Seeing his chance, he thrust his sword home.

The man in black fell from above. With no time to tend to his wound, he flew to land beside the woman.

"Second Miss, you must leave first."

The woman didn’t move. Her gaze was fixed on Ye Qianning. A mere child, yet she killed with such sharp, decisive efficiency.

Zhan Chi’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. His voice was thick and nasal as he said, "Qian Ning."

"You know I can protect myself. Next time, just worry about yourself first," she said coldly. She didn’t take his hand, instead turning to look at the woman by the wall.

A wounded look crossed Zhan Chi’s face. He retracted his trembling hand, his very heart shaking.

"To think a six-year-old child could see through an Illusion Technique... And to be so skilled without any Inner Strength. It’s truly impressive," the woman said, her voice weak as she leaned against the wall. freewёbnoνel.com

"I gave you a way out, but you didn’t take it. So I’ll choose for you. Luo Wen, seize them and take them to the Ministry of War." Ye Qianning’s killing intent hadn’t faded in the slightest.

"Yes."

Luo Wen stepped forward.

Seeing this, the man in black immediately moved to block the woman, preparing to attack.
