Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 572 - 570

Chapter 572: Chapter 570

As soon as Yang Liu and Xiao’er appeared, bats flew towards them. After a few bats bit them and died instantly, the remaining bats dared not bite again.

Xiao’er nearly burst into tears. She had hoped to use her escape route to poison all the vampire bats, ensuring that Shangguan Xuanyi and the others wouldn’t be bitten. This would also save her some antidote pills!

When did these beasts become so clever? It’s making it hard for people to live!

Xiao’er and Yang Liu quickly activated their Qinggong and ran towards the seaside.

Just then, a man in black emerged from a room intending to relieve himself. Spotting their escaping figures, he yelled: "Those two girls are escaping!"

The people inside the room jumped at the news.

"What?" Those brats are too bold! Do they not know that they would be drained dry of blood by the vampire bats the moment they run out?

"Yang Er, quickly, play the guqin to draw the vampire bats back. Don’t let them kill those girls!" One of the men in black, recalling the leader’s order to keep the girls alive, hurriedly instructed another.

"To hell with playing, there are no vampire bats chasing them! Hurry up and catch them!" retorted another black-clad man who was already pursuing them.

No vampire bats chasing them? How could that be possible?

Hearing this, a dozen men in black rushed out only to find only a hundred vampire bats circling in the sky. Indeed, there were no vampire bats chasing the girls. What was going on?

Where did all the thick swarm of vampire bats go? Perhaps they were too excited and flew all night, tired themselves out, and went to sleep early this morning?

Yang Er frowned at the hundred or so headless vampire bats in the sky. Where had all his vampire bats gone? And the Bat King?

He picked up his guqin and started playing, attempting to control the bats to attack Xiao’er and Yang Liu.

In the beginning, they resisted and struggled, not willing to follow, but they were eventually controlled by the music and attacked the girls to their deaths.

Yang Er’s face darkened. What the hell was happening? Why did his bats resist the control?

If he knew that his actions would result in the death of his vampire bats, he would understand why they resisted.

Turning around, Xiao’er saw more than a dozen men in black hot on their heels, and a dark cloud of bats closing in. This scene was truly nerve-wracking!

Soon, they were surrounded by the bat cloud.

It hurt like hell! Xiao’er and Yang Liu grimaced.

Upon seeing the black cloud, Shangguan Xuanyi and others guessed that Xiao’er and Yang Liu were discovered while escaping.

Before the boat could dock, Shangguan Xuanyi activated his Qinggong and dashed towards them.

The white tiger and Di Shaowei hurriedly followed!

Di Shaowei looked at the black cloud and couldn’t help cursing, "That girl is throwing her life away! Is she expecting me to collect her corpse?"

When Shangguan Xuanyi arrived, he saw the bat cloud engulfing the two girls, "Xiao’er!"

Both the tiger and the man lunged at them at a faster speed!

"Don’t come!" Xiao’er shouted. Since these bats were willing to bite her, and the pain had already set in, why waste it? She decided to endure a bit more pain, bait the bats with her body, and poison all of them. This way, she could save a few pills. Xiao’er thought to herself conservatively.

Xiao’er and Yang Liu were simultaneously swinging their swords to kill the encircling bats and running for their lives. Bats were dropping from the sky at a noticeable speed.

The white tiger stopped in his tracks when he heard Xiao’er’s words.

Shangguan Xuanyi, however, disagreed and continued charging towards them. He reached Xiao’er in an instant, grabbed her into his arms, and joined in cutting down the bats with his other hand!

Di Shaowei and Feng Qing were initially planning to rush in, but Di Shaowei noticed that the vampire bats died as soon as they bit Xiao’er. He quickly gestured to stop Feng Qing, "Let’s kill those men in black!"

The men in black stopped when they saw the vampire bats surround Xiao’er and Yang Liu, ready to enjoy the show. However, a sudden influx of opponents had them battling for their lives.

When the last bat fell, Xiao’er looked at Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand wrapped around her, with a small bite mark on the back of his hand. She was close to tears, "You’ve wasted one of my pills! Just for a little bite like that!" She felt such a loss!

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."

His heart ached seeing the wounds and blood all over her face and hands, "I can go without the pill."

He could forfeit the antidote, but he couldn’t stand by and watch her getting bitten by the vampire bats. Each bat he killed was one less bite she had to suffer, right?

Xiao’er ignored his words, popped a pill into his mouth, and then took one herself. Although she protested his heroic act, she was touched on the inside. After all, women often say the opposite of what they mean in front of the men they love. She was no exception.

Yang Liu, ignoring their tender moment, quickly put a pill in her mouth and rejoined the fight.

Di Shaowei, who had just been struck by one of the men in black, saw Shangguan Xuanyi leisurely wiping the blood from Xiao’er’s face. This greatly infuriated him. Was this the time and place for a romantic moment? They were in the middle of a fight!

"Shangguan Xuanyi, get over here and fight now, or I’m done!"

"Do you still want the tiger or not?" Shangguan Xuanyi replied calmly.

"Fine, you win!" Di Shaowei grumbled and focused back on the fight. His attacks became fiercer.

As the battle raged on, Di Shaowei realized something. Why did he need to argue with Shangguan Xuanyi over the tiger? His good sister could just give it to him!

"Girl, your man is scheming against me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er laughed instantly. Pulling Shangguan Xuanyi along, she quickly joined the fight.

Yang Er stood in the dark with his guqin, watching the fierce battle with a gloomy look in his eyes.

All his vampire bats were dead! They must have been killed by those two women! His babies that he had carefully bred for many years were all gone! He wanted them to accompany his babies in death!

Yang Er returned to the stone house.

Once he entered the stone house, he turned the candlestick on the wall and a door in the wall started spinning automatically.

He walked in, picked up the candle from the candlestick on the wall, and lit a fuse on the ground.

As soon as Shangguan Xuanyi and others took down the final man in black, the white tiger let out a roaring cry and dashed towards the shore.

Xiao’er’s face changed instantly, "Run!"
