Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 119: Assassination on 7th Night

Su Yue and Qin Yi came to the river, put the carefully crafted river lanterns into the water, and watched them drift away slowly with the current. The river lanterns flickered with a faint light, like stars, adding a bit of mystery to the night.

After releasing the river lanterns, they strolled along the street, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the night. The street food stalls exuded an alluring aroma, and the dazzling array of delicacies made people salivate. Su Yue excitedly took Qin Yi's hand, shuttled through the crowd, and tasted various special snacks. While eating, she happily told interesting stories from her childhood, while Qin Yi listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, and the laughter of the two echoed in the air.

The two stepped onto the floating bridge side by side. Su Yue walked lightly, her body swaying slightly. She turned her head to look at Qin Yi, her eyes sparkling, and said softly: "Some people say that if two lovers walk across this floating bridge together, they will keep walking hand in hand until they grow old together."

Qin Yi smiled and responded: "Then let's walk across the bridge together. I heard that there are many delicious dishes waiting for us on the other side of the bridge." Su Yue frowned slightly and said coquettishly: "Am I a glutton in your eyes?"

Qin Yi quickly explained: "No, I just hope to keep you healthy and plump, so that you look very blessed."

Su Yue couldn't help but think of the aesthetics of pursuing a slender figure in her previous life, but in this era, there seemed to be no concept of fat being beautiful. However, people generally prefer a rounded, plump but not fat face and figure.

Su Yue hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "But I still prefer my slimmer self."

Qin Yi: "As long as my wife likes it, but having said that, it's better to be a little fatter so that you won't get sick easily. If you're too thin, people will always worry about whether you are in good physical condition..." Su Yue felt warm in her heart when she heard Qin Yi's concerned words, but she pretended to be angry and said, "I know, I know! If you keep nagging like this, the vendors will go home. Let's cross the bridge quickly." After that, she shook her sleeves lightly, then quickened her pace and ran towards the other side.

Seeing this, Qin Yi did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed. As the two of them ran, the originally stable floating bridge began to shake, giving people a feeling that it might capsize at any time. Qin Yi held Su Yue's hand tightly, fearing that she would accidentally fall into the water.

At this moment, Su Yue seemed to feel Qin Yi's nervousness and worry. She turned around, gave him a sweet smile, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." However, Qin Yi did not relax his vigilance. He still stared at the front with full concentration, carefully escorting Su Yue to the other side safely.

Su Yue and Qin Yi were having a great time, and Qiu Zhu, Tao Zi, Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai were following closely behind. Su Yue hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. She stared at the candy stand in front of her, turned to Qin Yi and said, "I just gave all my money to the old man, but I really want to treat you to candy. What should I do?"

Qin Yi smiled and replied: "Then I'll treat you."

Su Yue shook her head and insisted: "No, I should treat you to a meal, but you need to pay."

Qin Yi couldn't help laughing and agreed: "No problem."

Su Yue happily took the candy man handed over by the stall owner, turned around and handed it to Qin Yi, only to see that the candy man was vivid and turned out to be a super cute little rabbit! Su Yue asked Qin Yi expectantly: "Do you like it?" However, before she finished her words, a group of well-trained men in black suddenly rushed out from all directions like ghosts, holding sharp blades, and pounced on Qin Yi without saying a word, with swords flashing and shadows catching people off guard!

Faced with this sudden change, Su Yue subconsciously hid behind Qin Yi, her face full of fear. Seeing that the situation was not good, Taozi also rushed over. At the same time, Qiu Zhu had already fought fiercely with the group of black-clothed men without fear. Qin Yi struggled to resist the enemy's attack while protecting Su Yue and Taozi with all his strength.

Qin Yi's eyes were wide open, and he shouted at the men in black: "Who are you? Why are you committing crimes here?" Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai saw that the situation was critical, and quickly joined the battle, but they were helpless because the other side had a large number of people and strong strength. Su Yue and Taozi had to keep retreating, looking for a safe place to hide.

Su Yue watched the life-and-death contest between Qin Yi and the men in black anxiously. She saw that the men in black were vicious and ruthless, and every move contained a deadly threat. And her insignificant martial arts were simply vulnerable in front of these people! Despite this, Su Yue was still extremely worried about Qin Yi's safety. She turned to Taozi and said, "Go and get reinforcements to save us!" Taozi hesitated and responded with concern, "Miss, it's too dangerous to leave you here alone." Su Yue quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Qiuzhu is here with me, nothing will happen." After thinking for a moment, Taozi finally decided to follow Su Yue's arrangement and turned away, hoping to find reinforcements to rescue them as soon as possible.

Su Yue stared at Qin Yi and others with wide eyes, secretly thinking about how to find a safe corner to hide in. At this moment, a black shadow rushed from the side like a ghost, holding a sharp blade, and rushed straight towards Su Yue.

Qiu Zhu happened to see this scene and was extremely anxious. He waved his sword without hesitation, trying to block the attack of the man in black, and shouted loudly: "Miss, run!"

Su Yue was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Out of instinct, she turned around and ran without pausing. She didn't know how long she had been running, but she felt as if her lungs were about to burst, as if every breath was stinging. She had never run so hard before, and perhaps this would be the fastest time in her life. She couldn't help but think to herself that if there was someone chasing her with a knife when she was in school, perhaps she would not have failed the 100-meter test, and she might even have set a world record.

Su Yue finally stopped, panting, and before she could catch her breath, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of her. He stared at Su Yue coldly and said in a cold tone: "Hand over what you have, and I can spare your life."

Su Yue's heartbeat quickened, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead, but she still pretended to be calm and responded, "What do you want? I've spent all the money I have, and I don't have much with me. Why don't you come home with me to get it?"

The man in black snorted coldly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "I have no interest in money, what I want is the talisman."

Su Yue looked confused and asked, "What talisman? I don't have any. Did you find the wrong person?"

The accomplice of the man in black said viciously: "Catch her back, I don't believe she won't hand it over!" Su Yue nervously looked at the scene in front of her in the moonlight, thinking about how to escape from the predicament. She tried to explain: "What do you want? I really don't have it." However, the man in black responded coldly: "It's not up to you to decide whether I have it or not." Su Yue was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Qiu Zhu suddenly rushed up from behind the men in black and anxiously shouted to Su Yue: "Miss, run!" Then, Qiu Zhu started a fierce fight with several men in black. Su Yue was frightened by this sudden situation and ran away without knowing where she was running to.
