Killer Queen (GL) - Chapter 20

Back in the bedroom, Xi Qi carried Luo Yu to the bed and placed a clean towel on her head, wiping the water droplets from her hair.

Luo Yu stayed docilely like a puppy, motionless, allowing her new “master” to attend to her hair.

However, when Xi Qi lifted her cloak/cape, preparing to look at the wounds on her body, Luo Yu suddenly dodged, pulling the cloak tighter to cover her body, and blushed. When she was punished earlier, her trousers had been taken off. Now, under the cloak, she was naked (j□j – explicit content often censored in Chinese), wearing nothing.

“It’s nothing serious, just a small injury. Just apply some wound medicine.” Luo Yu, like a dead duck whose mouth is still hard (stubbornly refusing to admit defeat), continued to pretend everything was fine. Injury was secondary, face was paramount.

Xi Qi raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. She had been sickly weak earlier, unable to move, and there was still so much bl00d on the cloak.

Luo Yu saw Xi Qi raise an eyebrow without speaking, assuming she had already seen something. She suddenly remembered that she was naked (赤/裸 – naked) below the waist, with bl00d still seeping from her thighs and buttocks. Goodness, could Xiao Qi have gotten the wrong idea? Thinking she was an escaped pet slave of some important Luo family figure, tortured (s…m) into this state, unable even to walk…

Luo Yu’s face instantly flushed crimson, and she began to stammer. “Uh, that, you, you shouldn’t misunderstand. It’s definitely not what you think!” She had been concealing her identity, and Xi Qi must now think it was because her status was too awkward and difficult to disclose. The worst part was that she had previously said she was a discarded puppy of her master. Xiao Qi must be even more convinced that I was someone’s plaything!

“I am not a plaything that has been tortured (j□j – explicit content). The bl00d is from a whip, but it’s absolutely not s, achoo, m related. Anyway, whatever you’re thinking, it’s wrong!” Luo Yu actually sneezed just when she got to the crucial point.

Ah—! Luo Yu’s head was about to explode! The more she explained this kind of thing, the more confusing it became.

Xi Qi frowned, touched Luo Yu’s forehead. “Nonsense. Could it be that your fever is too high and you’re starting to talk rubbish?”

Her forehead wasn’t too hot. Xi Qi was even more confused. Could it be that the injury was too severe? “The wound medicine is used up. I’ll go out to the pharmacy first. You lie down properly on the bed and don’t move around.”

Xi Qi left without taking an umbrella. The wind and rain outside still had not stopped.

Luo Yu covered her burning face. That was too embarrassing just now. She was definitely sick, running a high fever, which was why she was getting all these messy, random thoughts.

Xi Qi bought some alcohol, gauze, and a large stack of painkillers. The person who collected the money was a vulgar middle-aged man who, while Xi Qi was paying, sneakily touched the back of Xi Qi’s hand. If Luo Yu wasn’t waiting for treatment, Xi Qi would have certainly chopped off the man’s greasy hand on the spot.

The vulgar man took advantage of the beauty and kept laughing happily. Xi Qi’s expression was cold. She didn’t spare him a second glance, picked up the bag, and left. Xi Qi walked quickly because she knew someone was enduring the pain, waiting for her.

The so-called “concern breeds chaos” applied here. Xi Qi, in this moment, lost her usual composure and vigilance and failed to notice that someone was following her closely.

She had light blue short hair, a tight, revealing outer garment, and a black miniskirt underneath. Nan Qi (南琪) tilted her head, hooked the man’s chin with her finger, and looked flirtatious. “Tell me, which hand touched big sister just now?”

The vulgar man stared straight ahead. He reached out with his right hand, wanting to touch the woman’s exposed (j□j – explicit content) skin. The woman smiled even more alluringly, showing no sign of stopping him. Seeing that the beauty didn’t object, the man became even bolder and was about to reach deeper to stroke her…

A piercing scream. Bl00d flowed all over the floor. A bloody hand lay alone on the ground. The man clutched his bleeding stump, howling miserably like a wild boar, terrified as if he had seen a ghost, desperately backing away.

Nan Qi still smiled alluringly. Not a single drop of bl00d stained her body. She plunged the dagger into the severed palm, put the bloody hand to the man’s mouth, narrowed her eyes, and threatened, “Tell me, was this the hand that touched big sister just now?”

“If you don’t tell the truth,” Nan Qi breathed lightly near the man’s ear, smiling even more seductive and enchanting, yet her words were chilling. “I’ll make you swallow your own severed hand raw.”

The man was terrified, shaking his head frantically, frantically.

Nan Qi put her finger to her lips, deep in thought. “Since it wasn’t this one, then…” Nan Qi smiled again. Her smile was beautiful, but terrifying things often happened when she smiled.

Another terrifying scream. The man’s other palm was also cut off by the dagger. White, deep bones could even be seen at the severance.

Nan Qi stomped on the man’s bloody palm that had fallen to the ground and hooked his chin again. The seductive eyes, the enchanting posture—in the man’s eyes, they had all become symbols of the devil.

“Remember this: Big sister belongs only to me! No one is allowed to touch her except me!”

When Xi Qi returned to the bedroom, moonlight shone through the window, illuminating a figure sitting on the bed.

“Why are you on my bed instead of staying properly on your own bed?” Xi Qi asked casually, not paying much attention.

Xi Qi was not very guarded around Luo Yu. She turned around to close the door, completely exposing her back unguardedly. By the time Xi Qi felt the fierce whoosh of wind behind her, she had no way to retreat. Xi Qi did a backflip, rolled a few times on the floor, and backed up against the corner of the wall. The corner was the safest place; she didn’t have to worry about the enemy attacking from behind.

Xi Qi felt a damp liquid on her back. A faint smell of bl00d permeated the air. The enemy’s sneak attack had scratched Xi Qi’s back, but Xi Qi had dodged in time, and the stab wound was not deep.

“Who?” One word, spoken forcefully. Cold, fierce, and thick with murderous intent.

“Big sister’s skill is still as charming as ever.” Nan Qi’s eyes showed a hint of intoxication. Her gaze towards Xi Qi was full of adoration and admiration.

Xi Qi’s bl00d remained on the blade of the dagger. Nan Qi extended her tongue and forcefully licked the edge of the blade. The blade cut her skin, causing bl00d to seep out, but Nan Qi seemed utterly unaware, sucking even harder. “Big sister’s bl00d is truly delicious.”

A seductive smile, with a trace of bl00d spilling from her lips, making her look even more enchanting.

“It’s too little. I still want more.” Nan Qi seemed a bit disappointed. The bloodstain on the blade had been completely licked clean by her.

“What are you doing here?” Xi Qi questioned in a low voice. Her words showed she did not welcome this uninvited guest.

Nan Qi lay on Xi Qi’s bed, burying her head into Xi Qi’s pillow, taking a deep breath. “Big sister’s scent, big sister’s fragrance. It’s truly nostalgic. I love it.”

Xi Qi’s expression was grim. She had been on the run for over a year, and the assassins of Qianying (千影, Thousand Shadows) had finally tracked her down!

Qianying, an assassin group second only to the Luo family in the assassin world, the only force that could contend with the Luo family.

What made Xi Qi even more restless was that Luo Yu had been taken away by them. Now her whereabouts were unknown, and her life was uncertain.

“Xiao Qi is here. Is big sister not happy?” Nan Qi sniffed the body scent on Xi Qi’s bedding with a look of obsession, her expression showing a hint of hurt and grievance. “Xiao Qi thinks about big sister day and night, thinking about you so much I’m almost going crazy.”

“How many people did you bring?” The precarious, unfavorable situation actually made Xi Qi calm down. She secretly calculated the chances of rescuing Luo Yu.

Nan Qi was completely immersed in her own world, her eyes showing resentment and dissatisfaction. “Big sister, when you see Xiao Qi, why don’t you ask Xiao Qi if she’s doing well alone in Qianying? In this past year, has big sister ever thought of Xiao Qi?”

“Big sister, come back with me, okay? Stay by Xiao Qi’s side forever. Xiao Qi is so lonely by herself.” Nan Qi’s eyes held a mixture of pleading and sadness.

“Impossible.” Cold and resolute. Absolutely impossible. She never wanted to return to Qianying, that cold and bloody place. It was her eternal nightmare.

“Why?” Nan Qi bit her lip. Bl00d lingered on her lips, making her look seductive, dangerous, and captivating. “Big sister, do you want to dig out Xiao Qi’s heart and see? It’s absolutely a heart that deeply loves and is loyal to big sister! Even if big sister asks Xiao Qi to die, Xiao Qi will obey without complaint!”

She spoke very emotionally, solemnly as if taking an oath. The dagger in her hand was even held horizontally across her chest, as if she were really going to dig out her heart and show it to her “big sister.” The tip of the dagger pierced her skin. Bl00d spread out, staining the front of her clothes, yet she seemed completely unaware, feeling no pain.

“Have you made enough noise!” Xi Qi completely ignored the wound on Nan Qi’s chest, showing no pity or distress. “Where did you take the person?”

“Is big sister not coming back with Xiao Qi because of that little slut?” Nan Qi’s eyes suddenly became bloody, brutal, hateful, and unwilling.

“I’m going to kill her. No, I won’t kill her,” Nan Qi smiled alluringly. “I’m going to torture her properly, making her beg for life but unable to die.”

Nan Qi laughed out loud, ignoring Xi Qi’s murderous gaze.

“If you dare to touch her, I will make you regret ever being alive!” Astonishing killing intent erupted from Xi Qi’s eyes. She looked like a wild wolf with glowing green eyes in the moonlight, ferociously ready to tear the opponent apart with her sharp teeth in the next second.

Xi Qi’s tenderness was exclusive only to Luo Yu.

Xi Qi’s threat did not achieve the desired effect. Nan Qi was not afraid or retreating. Instead, she became more excited and agitated, and an astonishing light burst from her eyes. “How is big sister going to torture Xiao Qi? So excited, so looking forward to it, so stimulating!”

Nan Qi’s face was faintly flushed. Her eyes were so seductive they almost seemed to drip water. “Big sister is so mean, deliberately saying things that will excite Xiao Qi. With a whip? It must be the kind with thorns, the feeling of it twisting into the flesh, the smell of bl00d, all the pain is full of big sister’s love!”

Nan Qi licked her lower lip. Her lips were moist and vibrant. “Wax dripping is also good. The scalding candle wax, the burning pain of fire. I love it. Xiao Qi really wants to be tortured by big sister, the crueler the better. Big sister, that is love!” Nan Qi was lost in her own fantasy, practically going mad.

Faced with such a person, just talking was useless, so Xi Qi directly took action.

“Bang—” A gunshot echoed throughout the night sky. The dark, dense mass of crows scattered instantly, adding a sense of oppression and suffocation.

Nan Qi was gone. The bed was empty, but her fragrance still lingered in the air.

An invitation card was left on the bed. The crimson color was like a death sentence, with the words:

“Tomorrow night, Teng Xiang Ge (藤香閣 – Rattan Fragrance Pavilion).”

The ink-like night, the pale moonlight, the coldness of the heavy rain, and a solitary figure, cold and heartless. One wave had not settled before another rose. The coming days were probably going to be anything but peaceful.
