Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

Passing by the forest, Su Qianqian asked Gu Peng: "Hey, um, are we almost in Licheng? We have been in the forest for so many days!" Gu Yuan took over the conversation! "After passing this mountain and passing by Xucheng, we will reach Licheng!" Su Qianqian replied: "Okay then!" Suddenly, a low roar was heard, shaking the leaves. They immediately looked around vigilantly, and saw a ferocious beast staring with bloodshot eyes, slowly approaching them.

The beast's claws left deep marks on the ground, showing its powerful strength. Mi Tao showed a look of fear, but Su Qianqian stood there, not afraid at all. She took a deep breath, and then took out another long stick for barbecue from her backpack. "You stand back, I'll do it." Su Qianqian said calmly. Hearing Su Qianqian say that, they all stepped aside. Su Qianqian lit one end of the long stick, and the flames instantly burned. She waved the burning long stick and rushed towards the beast. The beast was frightened by Su Qianqian's momentum and stopped. It seemed to be afraid of the flames and did not dare to approach easily. Su Qianqian took the opportunity to slam the flaming long stick into the ground in front of the beast, and the flames spread instantly, forming a wall of fire. The beast was forced to retreat again and again by the wall of fire, and finally turned around and fled into the depths of the forest. Watching Su Qianqian scare away the beast with flames! Gu Yuan walked up to Su Qianqian and said, "What is this called!" Su Qianqian looked at the stick and said, "This move is called flame grilling!" Gu Yuan and Gu Peng looked at each other, and Gu Peng said, "What is grilling?" Su Qianqian said again, "Shh! Keep it a secret!"

They finally arrived at Xucheng before sunset. As night fell, the streets of Xucheng gradually became quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of bells and drums from distant buildings breaking the tranquility. Su Qianqian, Mi Tao, Gu Yuan and Gu Peng found an inn to stay in, ready to rest for the night and make plans tomorrow.

The inn is elegantly decorated, giving people a homely feeling. The four of us were arranged in two adjacent guest rooms, which were clean and tidy although not large.

As soon as Gu Yuan entered the room, he couldn't wait to lie on the bed, and said with emotion: "This journey was really thrilling! Second brother, you said that my Ning'er's flaming stick was really powerful and could even scare away wild beasts." Gu Peng said: "The name of the flame barbecue is very peculiar!" Gu Yuan said: "That's right! My Ning'er has so many new words?" As they said that, the two of them smiled slightly!

However, Su Qianqian and Mitao did not rest in the inn, but asked the innkeeper about the Yongming Lantern Festival. They said that there would be delicious food and fun things to do all night long! So Su Qianqian sneaked out with Mitao to play!

Just as the two of them were about to buy candied haws, a cold wind suddenly blew, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere. Su Qianqian's heart tightened, and she looked back, only to see a black shadow passing by quickly and disappearing in an instant. She immediately became alert and looked around, trying to catch the whereabouts of the black shadow.

However, at this moment, a masked assassin suddenly jumped out of the crowd, holding a dagger, and stabbed Su Qianqian in the chest. In the critical moment, Su Qianqian reacted quickly and dodged the fatal blow by leaning sideways. But she also knew that she was in a busy city, surrounded by bustling crowds, and it would not be easy to escape. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and began to look for a chance to escape. She caught a glimpse of a secluded alley not far ahead, so she reached out and pulled Mi Tao, and ran to the alley!

Su Qianqian tightly grasped Mi Tao's hand, their eyes were firm and resolute. The silent appearance of the Dark Council assassins caught Su Qianqian off guard! However, Su Qianqian did not retreat at all. She let go of Mi Tao's hand, instantly drew the soft sword at her waist, and rushed towards the nearest assassin. The sword flashed, and collided with the assassin's sharp blade, making a harsh metal collision sound. Every confrontation made Su Qianqian feel the opponent's cold and powerful power.

Mi Tao was not idle either. Although she did not know martial arts, she also shuttled through the narrow alleys, trying her best to avoid the killer's attack! At this moment, Su Qianqian caught a killer's flaw and stabbed him in the chest with a sword. Blood spurted out and the killer fell to the ground. Just as Su Qianqian turned around to pull Mi Tao, a man in a black robe with his face hidden in a deep hood suddenly appeared. Su Qianqian could only see the short knife in his hand flashing with a strange blood light. Su Qianqian asked, "Even if you let me die, you must at least let me know who you are?" The man said in a low voice, "Dark Council - Xue Canyang." The air was immediately filled with a murderous intent, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating. Su Qianqian was dressed in green, her eyes were as cold as ice, and the soft sword in her hand emitted a faint cold light. Suddenly, Xue Canyang moved, and he approached like a ghostly figure in an instant. Su Qianqian's reaction was also extremely fast, and she swung her soft sword to meet Xue Canyang's attack. The two clashed, fire splashed, and the huge impact force made the surrounding air tremble. The battle entered a white-hot stage in an instant. Su Qianqian's swordsmanship was sharp and her body movements were elegant. Every swing of the sword seemed to contain endless power. Xue Canyang was even more ferocious. His swordsmanship was weird and vicious, and every attack was an attempt to make a fatal blow.

In a fierce confrontation, Su Qianqian's soft sword collided with Xue Canyang's short knife, making a loud sound of metal clashing. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from behind Xue Canyang, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed Su Qianqian's back. It turned out that this Xue Canyang was not a single person at all! There were two people, one was Xue and the other was Canyang. They were a pair of twins, and the one who stabbed Su Qianqian was named Xue, which means that he was bloodthirsty. The two of them were called Jianxue Canyang, so they were called Xue Canyang on the road! Su Qianqian was shocked, but there was no way to avoid it at this time. She could only try her best to dodge sideways, trying to avoid this fatal blow. However, the dagger still cut Su Qianqian's left arm, and blood instantly dyed her sleeves red. At the same time, Mi Tao was also affected by the chaos, and a knife energy cut her cheek, and blood slid down her face.

Seeing Mi Tao injured, Su Qianqian's heart surged with endless anger. She ignored the injury on her left arm and swung her sword at the black shadow. The black shadow obviously didn't expect Su Qianqian to be able to burst out with such powerful fighting power despite being injured, and blood sprayed all over Su Qianqian's face. She turned to face Canyang with a cold light in her eyes. When Canyang saw Su Qianqian's eyes and the hideous and terrifying face covered with blood, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Canyang took advantage of Su Qianqian's inattention, picked up the blood, and disappeared! Su Qianqian saw that they had left and didn't want to chase them anymore, so she hurried to Mi Tao to check her injuries. She was relieved to see that the wound on Mi Tao's face was slowly healing. Then she took out the ointment she carried with her and gently applied it on Mi Tao's wound.

In the inn, the urgent knock on the door woke up Gu Peng and Gu Yuan! Su Qianqian shouted, "Quick, open the door!"
