Chapter 488: Chapter 108: The Biased Aunt

Gu Xiaoxi left three people to guard Qing Lian, and the rest went to search for prey on the island.

Now they could only procure some animal blood to sustain Qing Lian and keep her alive.

There was no shortage of snakes on the small island.

Yun Xiao also demonstrated for Gu Xiaoxi her unique ice ability to catch snakes.

Snakes that were swiftly slithering one moment were suddenly frozen into ice sculptures, looking quite comical.

Soon, Gu Xiaoxi had collected a cup of snake blood for Qing Lian.

After feeding it to her, Qing Lian appeared somewhat more normal.

Just when they were about to set sail, another pleasure boat was rapidly approaching from a distance.

At the sight, Gu Xiaoxi felt a sense of foreboding and immediately ordered everyone, "Hurry, start the boat, someone is catching up with us!"

The helmsman, being the owner of the boat and accustomed to working at sea year-round, was quite skilled.

The two boats started a chase on the open sea.

Gu Xiaoxi, with a pair of binoculars, watched the approaching boat with a heavy heart.

Jing Haoran, Yun Xiao, and others were ready for combat.

Gu Xiaoxi knew that firearms were not very effective against the Blood Clan, and the reason they hadn’t pursued was because of the sea.

Seawater, rich in salt, could corrode their skin, and with the sun’s fierce rays during the day, they hid in the cabin, daring not to make any rash moves.

"Yun Xiao, Gao Yuchen, Wu An, Zhao Zilong, follow me into the water. We’ll board their boat and confront them; the rest of you quickly take Qing Lian and meet up with the International Alliance’s forces," Gu Xiaoxi commanded decisively.

Instead of letting the other party catch up, it was better to split into two groups, one to intercept, and the other to escort the prisoner.

Their goal was to complete the mission as soon as possible.

"And what about me?" Jing Haoran asked.

"You’ll lead the team and make sure to hand over Qing Lian to the international police," Gu Xiaoxi said sternly.

Jing Haoran didn’t say much more; Gu Xiaoxi was the captain, and his job was to cooperate.

"Put down the guns! They pose no threat to them," Gu Xiaoxi said. "Leave behind the luggage and everything else we have brought with us. Just take the bayonets and intercept the boat behind us."

...

"King, their speed is too fast, and we are trying our best to catch up."

"We’re about to reach the International Center’s port. By whatever means, you must catch up," Bai Sha said, clenching her fingers tightly. Qing Lian was her asset, and if a human managed to hand her over to the International Alliance, Bai Sha’s face would have nowhere to go.

As Bai Sha was fuming, a hasty figure ran towards the door, "King, someone has boarded our boat."

Bai Sha immediately stood up and walked to the cabin door.

Five people stood on the nearby deck.

Two women and three men, all soaked to the skin, stood neatly on the deck.

"I have to hand it to you, your noses are really sharp to have tracked us down here. I am impressed," Gu Xiaoxi toyed with the dagger in hand and looked at Bai Sha. "If you want to take Qing Lian away, you’ll have to get past us first."

"You’ve got audacity, spewing such arrogance. Hand over Qing Lian, and I will grant you a swift death. Otherwise... I will make you beg for life and pine for death," Bai Sha said, clenching her fingers fiercely.

Gu Xiaoxi let out a scornful laugh, "You talk tough! If you’ve got the guts, come at me!"

Because of Gu Xiaoxi’s sudden intrusion, the boat’s speed noticeably decreased.

With that slight delay, Jing Haoran and the hostages had already vanished quickly over the horizon.

Bai Sha was completely infuriated and, disregarding the searing sunlight outside, led her six companions to quickly strike at Gu Xiaoxi and the others.

Their speed was incredibly fast, but Gu Xiaoxi had prepared defenses, so she was able to tangle with them.

Yun Xiao, whose Inner Strength was not strong, suffered a loss in the first round and was knocked to the ground by a punch from one of them.

Gu Xiaoxi’s quick reflexes allowed her to swing her dagger and kill one of the assailants on the spot.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuchen, Wu An, and Zhao Zilong, all masters of Inner Strength, reacted quickly. They nearly reflexively dodged dangers in close combat.

When Bai Sha missed Gu Xiaoxi and saw one of the subordinates get killed, she was shocked by the dagger in Gu Xiaoxi’s hand.

"What is that thing?" Bai Sha asked in horror. At the same time, she retreated with her people into the cabin.

Vampires had the ability to self-heal their wounds, so they were typically not afraid of common weapons.

Even if their heads were cut off, they could be reattached, and given enough time to heal, they could still survive.

But the one Gu Xiaoxi had killed was rotting rapidly into a pile of bones from just a cut to the throat.

Even the formidable Bai Sha felt a semblance of fear.

Gu Xiaoxi steadied Yun Xiao, warning, "Be careful, their movement speed is very quick."

At the same time, Wu An, Zhao Zilong, and others were also frightened by Gu Xiaoxi’s dagger.

To slay a powerful vampire into a pile of bones with a single slice, isn’t that a Divine Artifact? How terrifying!

"I gave you a chance to run away, and if you do not take it, that will be your fate. Go back and tell your Blood Emperor that it’s best not to cross the line, or else one day he will regret it deeply," Gu Xiaoxi’s words also served as advice to them.

Bai Sha glanced at the bones on the ground before jumping off the ship without a second thought and diving into the sea with his men.

Compared to the seawater, they were more afraid of the dagger in Gu Xiaoxi’s hand.

Yun Xiao watched them all flee and didn’t understand what Gu Xiaoxi meant. "Why let them go?" he asked.

"Qing Lian should be almost delivered by now, and I don’t want to make enemies with the Blood Clan. Killing a person of no importance serves as a warning to them. If we killed them all, we would truly be at war with the Blood Clan. I’m not afraid, but it’s the ordinary people who would suffer," Gu Xiaoxi said with a helpless tone.

...

Gu Xiaoxi arrived at the port half an hour later than Jing Haoran.

Qing Lian had officially been handed over to the police of the International Alliance, and their mission was considered complete.

Next, it was time for Qing Lian’s execution, which would be public!

This served as a warning to the Blood Clan!

Taking the reward money with her group, Gu Xiaoxi began the return journey home.

As for the execution of Qing Lian, she had no interest in watching, least of all the cruel scenes.

Qing Lian was guilty of taking many lives, and since he was wanted by numerous countries, he definitely must have committed many heinous crimes.

Although for Gu Xiaoxi, every life deserved respect.

Qing Lian was certainly deserving of his punishment.

No one could commit crimes and escape the sanctions of the law.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

The Blood Clan would become even more rampant and unscrupulous!

At the International Alliance’s airstrip, Jing Rui personally saw everyone off.

Jing Haoran was naturally happy to see his aunt.

"Auntie, when are you coming back home?" Jing Haoran held onto his beautiful aunt’s arm, unwilling to let go.

Gu Xiaoxi was happy to see Jing Rui again. "Yeah! Next time I’m back in the country, I’ll treat you to Peach Blossom Brew!"

"I’ve heard of Peach Blossom Brew but never tried it. Since Miss Gu has mentioned it, save some for me. I’ll definitely drink it when I return," Jing Rui said with a smile.

"Auntie, you only answered Gu Xiaoxi. Why don’t you answer me? When are you coming back home!" Jing Haoran persisted in asking.

Jing Rui smiled gently, "You’re already twenty years old, yet still acting like a child. I’ll come back when I have time. Many countries have recently had troubles, and Auntie still has a pile of cases to deal with."

"Alright, then!" Jing Haoran reluctantly let go of Jing Rui’s arm and went over to Gu Xiaoxi’s side.

Just as he was about to reach for Gu Xiaoxi’s arm for some comfort, he received a fierce glare from her. "Don’t be coquettish with me, or be careful, I might have you lying in bed for half a month."

Jing Haoran was so scared that he didn’t dare to move.

Jing Rui, looking at Gu Xiaoxi and Jing Haoran, couldn’t help but laugh. "It seems like our Haoran is only afraid of you!"

"Afraid of me? I wonder when he’ll grow up," Gu Xiaoxi sighed.

Gu Xiaoxi saw him as nothing more than a brother.

Jing Rui smiled and said to Jing Haoran, "You go ahead, I have something to discuss with Miss Gu."

Jing Haoran snorted coldly, "Biased auntie! I’m your dearest one!"

Jing Rui didn’t bother with him and instead said to Gu Xiaoxi, "Before you leave, I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter? I’m listening," Gu Xiaoxi said.

"It’s about Gu Feng!" Jing Rui’s expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Has he appeared?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.

Jing Rui nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "Not only has he appeared, but he’s also caused quite a stir."

Gu Xiaoxi listened quietly.

Jing Rui continued, "In the past two months, similar murders have occurred in many countries, totaling over a hundred cases. All the victims died in their sleep, turning blue post-mortem with tight skin and twisted faces. No wounds could be found on their bodies. After consulting experts, it was determined that they all died from soul extraction."

"Gu Feng indeed knows how to use witchcraft for Soul Gathering. Once on Dream Island, the Island Master’s daughter, Sharon, nearly died because of it. At the time, he used my master’s Jade Watermelon as a medium. Now that watermelon has been bought by the richest man internationally; I wonder if his family has encountered any trouble?" Gu Xiaoxi asked worriedly.
