Chapter 1316 Test the Taste of Death
Grace’s eye twitched at Yun Jian’s words, especially with the sight of the latter’s piercing gaze.
Grace was feisty and aggressive but she had never seen a young lady wear such terrifying sense of murder in her eyes. When those eyes were trained on her, it was like they were going to kill her.
Grace was a mere woman in Country B. After getting scared by Yun Jian’s glare, she pretended like she was not startled and cleared her throat before scolding Yun Jian, “Why should I let go just because you ask me to? Who do you think you are? You used my knife and water and towel and now you demand more? G.o.d, how could there be such shameless people in the world…”
Grace began to wail and yell.
Yun Jian had already caught the cane. With a soft tug, she gripped it in her hand and whipped it down on Grace harshly. The woman fell to the ground directly and panted. She was not actually in pain from being whipped to the ground but she began to shout again, “Goodness! She hit me! She’s going to kill me! All that help and it’s not repaid!”
“One more word and I’ll kill you right now!” Yun Jian’s words stopped Grace’s wail abruptly.
Yun Jian tossed the cane away and pulled out a dagger from her pants pocket. She unsheathed it and threw it at Grace.
Yun Jian did not use her b.u.t.terfly knife because a person like Grace did not need it.
The dagger flew right above Grace’s head.
Shocked, Grace was stunned paralyze and could clearly feel the knife skim past the top of her head.
The dagger flew above her head and went into the soil behind her, the excellent skill surprising the crowd. Needless to say, Yun Jian’s technique was amazing. They then watched as Yun Jian pulled Lily away to the side.
Grace who was intimidated by Yun Jian dared not make another move while Yun Jian tugged Lily to her room.
Lily told Yun Jian about a lot of things, including her own background and where this place was. When she talked about herself, she hung her head and told Yun Jian, “My stepmother is selling me to someone else a few days later but I already have someone I like…”
Lily said that the person she liked came from a poor family too and they knew each other from moving bricks. The boy she liked was 15 years old this year and knew a little English because he used to go to school.
Lily wanted to go to school too but she could not afford it, so the little English she had learned was picked up secretly from the boy.
Yun Jian asked Lily several more things and listened to her talk about her background before she closed her eyes and came up with a plan.
Yun Jian slept with Si Yi. The next day, she was woken up by noises outside the door.
When she went out, she saw three to four men trying to drag Lily away. The old man who stood in front even had a cigar between his fingers and looked to be in his fifties, old enough to become Lily’s grandfather.
This old man was Lumada, the chief of the village neighboring theirs. He was considered rich in an impoverished place like this.
“You waste of s.p.a.ce! I really can’t stand you another day longer. Get out right now! Consider it your fortune that you get to go with Chief Lumada!” Grace scolded Lily from the side.
It was her who went to ask Chief Lumada to quickly take Lily away.
Chief Lumada had his eyes set on Lily a long time ago and could not wait to pin Lily below him and have his way with her. Now that he heard Grace wanting him to take the girl, he came over early in the morning.
The scene that greeted Yun Jian was Chief Lumada getting his men to drag Lily away. Her gaze darkened at the sight.
While the men planned to shove Lily into a gunny sack and take her away forcefully, a sharp female voice rang with an irresistible sense of command, “No one’s ever succeeded in grabbing someone right under my nose. Do you guys want to test the taste of death?!”
