The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Kingdom's Mist City

The town is the busiest time of the day in the evening. The sun is too strong during the day and it is really hard to go out. People can only wait until the sun sets before going out for a walk.

Ye Ling and a few others ate at a table by the window on the second floor of the inn, watching people coming and going on the street while eating delicious food. They lived a very comfortable life.

Gradually, the sky darkened and the lanterns on the street lit up one after another. After finishing their meal, the few people went back to their rooms to rest.

Ye Ling was wearing her underwear, lying on the back window of the room, still looking at the crowd on the street.

Not long after, Jiuyou came out of the space, wearing underwear, with wet hair, and it seemed that he had just taken a shower.

"Why are you so fast?" Ye Ling asked, staring at the street.

"It used to be very troublesome to take a shower, but now with your space, I can basically take a shower every day. It just takes a shower, so it's not a big deal." Jiuyou said as he made the bed. They planned to sleep outside tonight.

Ye Ling still looked at the street: "Tell me, there are so many people, what are they busy with?"

Jiuyou came to the window, closed it, picked up Ye Ling and walked towards the bed: "Okay, let's stop watching and have a good rest."

"You...don't do anything rash. My period hasn't ended yet." Ye Ling was a little panicked.

"I know." Jiuyou put the other person inside and slept outside. "Go to sleep! I won't do anything tonight. The right rear window and the front window are open, and it's not hot."

Ye Ling rested her head on Jiu You's shoulders and hugged his neck: "Junior brother, although I have high martial arts skills and don't need anyone to protect me, you still give me a sense of security. As long as you are around, I feel at ease and don't have messy dreams when I sleep."

Jiuyou smiled happily, holding the person in his arms tightly: "I will always be with you, and we will never be apart."

"What if one day you get tired of me?"

“There won’t be a day like that.”

The streets outside gradually became quiet. After midnight, Ye Ling moved to and fro in the quilt, seemingly awake and asleep at the same time.

Jiuyou said helplessly: "Senior Sister, you should go to the bathroom. You won't last until morning. You drank too much tonight."

Ye Ling was extremely reluctant. She was most afraid of going to the toilet in the middle of the night as it would affect her sleep quality. She had no choice but to enter the space. She felt so drowsy that she was about to fall asleep while sitting on the toilet.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Ling left the space, poured herself a glass of water, and glanced out the back window. She was instantly captivated by the starry sky. She tiptoed to open the left rear window, which Jiuyou had closed before bed, so she could sit by the window and watch the night scene. In ancient times, without tall buildings, all the stars were clearly visible. The sky was dotted with stars, like a black velvet covered with bright pearls, glittering brightly.

Jiuyou on the bed opened his eyes, stood up, put on his boots, and came to the window. He hugged Ye Ling's waist from behind and said softly, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Look, the stars are so beautiful!" Ye Ling also said softly.

Jiuyou glanced at Xinghe: "In my eyes, there is only Senior Sister, not Xinghe, because Senior Sister is more beautiful than Xinghe."

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Junior brother, I find that you are really two different people here with me and outside. They all say that you have a cold face and don't like to talk, but here with me, you talk a lot, and it's so corny."

"Because senior sister is my only one." Jiuyou hugged the person in his arms tightly. He wanted to leave all the tenderness and smiles in this life to Ye Ling, and no one else would get a single bit.

Ye Ling suddenly felt an urge in her heart. Looking at the starry sky, she said softly: "Junior brother, I have figured it out. We will become..."

"Chiu~Bang~" A loud noise interrupted Ye Ling's words. A flare flew into the sky, then exploded perfectly and fell like a meteor.

Ye Ling was immediately startled: "It's a distress signal from Langya Pavilion. Put on your clothes and let's go take a look. After all, our senior brother is the Pavilion Master."

"Okay," Jiuyou agreed, feeling incredibly upset. Was his senior sister trying to say they were getting married? The damn flare had extinguished the spark they'd just started.

At the same time, in an inn in the city, Qianshi Bicheng and Zhuang Yi from the Renzitang of Langya Pavilion were leading people to stop a group of masked killers.

Ye Ling and Jiu You quickly dressed and ran towards the direction where the flare was rising.

When we arrived at the inn, we saw Bicheng and his men struggling to hold on.

Without saying a word, Ye Ling drew his sword and rushed into the enemy camp. Jiu You followed closely behind him. His eyes were cold and sharp, as if he had become a different person.

The masked assassins hadn't expected to encounter such a formidable opponent, and their formation was thrown into disarray. One of them, who looked like the leader, shouted, "Yin Yang Blade? She's Ye Ling! Let's retreat! Retreat!"

Ye Ling and others did not give the other side a chance to retreat and immediately counterattacked.

The Nine Nether Sword Technique was light and graceful, each thrust carrying a chilling aura. Ye Ling, on the other hand, used his powerful internal energy to send anyone who approached flying, drawing blood wherever his twin blades touched.

In just a moment, all the masked killers turned into cold corpses.

Bicheng was so excited that he almost knelt down and called him "Master": "Miss Ye, Jiuyou, thank God, my bet was right! I bet you here."

"What's going on with you? Why are you letting people block you in the yard and beat you up?" Ye Ling asked after putting away his knife.

"Don't mention it, it's a long story," Bicheng said as he wiped the blood off his cheek.

"Then let's make it short!"

"We promised to send someone to Yunzhou. The journey was full of ups and downs, with countless battles, big and small. I dare not camp in the wild at all!" Bicheng looked like a punching bag.

"Who is so fearless of Langya Pavilion? Why does he carry out assassination attempts again and again?" Ye Ling was curious.

"Those who come to assassinate me are all desperate criminals. For money, they are not afraid of anything."

"Then the person you are escorting is not simple either, right?"

"Ah~" Bicheng sighed helplessly: "Let's go inside."

Zhuang Yi, who was protecting his employer in the house, bowed and said, "Miss Ye, Jiuyou."

"It seems that the employer is really not ordinary! You two thousand envoys are escorting him."

At this moment, Ye Ling noticed a familiar face holding a child about two years old on the bed.

Ye Ling was a little surprised: "Fang Shu?"

Fang Shuwei knelt down and saluted: "Miss Ye, we meet again."

"Who is this child?"

"Employer" Bicheng said.

"Ah?" Ye Ling looked gossipy. "Can you elaborate?"

"Of course, this is no longer a secret, it just hasn't spread yet. Miss Ye, Jiuyou, please sit down." Zhuang Yi poured two glasses of water for the two.

Bicheng began to explain, "More than twenty days ago, the Fenglei Sect, a martial arts sect, was wiped out overnight. The leader of the Wulin League rushed to investigate immediately. Of course, the government also intervened, with the imperial court and the martial arts world jointly investigating the massacre. A few days later, the Fenglei Sect's leader, Gu Ci, was seriously injured and fled to Langya Pavilion with his two-year-old son. He said he trusted no one but Langya Pavilion. The Pavilion Master immediately ordered Doctor Kou to treat him, but he was unable to recover. Before his death, Gu Ci entrusted his son to the Langya Pavilion, entrusting him to Shuiyun Temple in Yunzhou and handing him over to his half-brother, Taoist Xianhe. Of course, he also took out his token of withdrawal and asked us to withdraw all the money he had stored in the bank, half for the escort and half for his son. Since the child was so young, we had to find a female relative to take care of him along the way. Fang Shu volunteered to take on the task. She had some fighting skills, so she was the most suitable person."

"And then someone chased us? Aren't your escort operations always secret? Especially at a time like this?" Ye Ling asked.

"It's our fault for being careless. Gu Ci fled all the way to Langya Pavilion and experienced several battles. He had been targeted for a long time. This group of villains were secretly watching in Zhezhou. When they saw us coming down the mountain, they probably guessed what had happened and started to assassinate him. In desperation, I sent a carrier pigeon back to Langya Pavilion. The Pavilion Master then sent Zhuang Yi and a team of troops to support us," Bicheng explained.

"The person behind this is quite cruel. The whole family is dead, and he won't let the only child go. It's really like: if you don't get rid of the roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze!" Ye Ling muttered in a low voice.

"Did Gu Ci tell you who the murderer is?" Jiu You suddenly spoke.

"Alas, this is where the helplessness lies. Gu Ci has no idea who wants to kill him. The other party is just a gangster, and the martial arts they use are all mixed up. It's impossible to trace their origins," Bicheng said helplessly.

Jiuyou paused for a moment before speaking, "The Wind and Thunder Sect has been established for nearly fifty years. It was founded by Gu Ci's grandfather. It's a well-known and upright sect in the martial arts world. Gu Ci even came to congratulate my senior brother on his wedding."

"That's right! The three generations of the Gu family are all heroes, robbing the rich to help the poor, and are deeply loved by the people. Gu Ci is even the right-hand man of the leader of the martial arts world," Bicheng continued.

Zhuang Yi spoke up from the side, "Logically speaking, the Fenglei Sect is not weak, so how could they be wiped out so easily? The other party must be no ordinary person."

"How could an ordinary person gather so many ruffians?" Ye Ling said, then thought for a moment before adding, "It seems something big is about to happen again. The other party clearly doesn't take Langya Pavilion seriously, and is very sure that you won't be able to find him for a while, so he is so blatantly wiping him out completely."

"No matter what, this matter is the business of the government and the leader of the martial arts world. We at Langya Pavilion will not get involved."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Aren't you already involved?"

"We are paid to do the work, so it doesn't count as participation"

"Alright! One last question. There's no Langya Pavilion branch in Wucheng. What does it mean when you send out a signal flare?"

Bi Cheng smiled slightly. "When I entered the city this evening, I overheard a few people from Jianghu talking about you being in Wucheng. I was also skeptical. The situation was urgent just now, so I thought I'd try my luck. I didn't expect it to be right."

Ye Ling nodded. For some reason, he felt very close to Bicheng and the others. It was like meeting family. "Okay, I'm going to Yunzhou. You must know this. Let's go together tomorrow. I want to see who else dares to come and seek death."

Bicheng and Zhuang Yi almost knelt down, both of them had tears of gratitude on their faces. This time, the employer was really too stressful for them. If they failed to complete the task, it would ruin the reputation of Langya Pavilion and they would be laughed at by others. Moreover, they would not be able to explain to the death of Gu Ci.
