Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

The two arrived without any hindrance at the door of the control room of the research institute where Colonel Sanders was located.

Suddenly, the Black Ice Phoenix beside him violently kicked open the heavy door of the control room.

Seeing this, Gu Qianhan sighed.

“Hey, a girl should be elegant. People will think this is too violent.”

Hei Xuanbinghuang blushed and made a face at Gu Qianhan, letting out a soft sound.

"But even so, my owner still doesn't dislike me~"

"What do outsiders think of Hei Xuan have to do with Hei Xuan?"

Gu Qianhan first affectionately patted her little head, and then the two of them swaggered in.

At this moment, a fusion experiment between Warcraft and the superhumans was underway in the central control room.

Everyone present was startled to see the door suddenly kicked open and the two people barging in.

Just as they were about to make a move, Gu Qianhan struck first.

He strolled leisurely in his own backyard like an emperor.

Elegant, composed, and dignified.

When he sheathed Frost and Snow Cold Waves, everyone present, except for Colonel Sanders who looked just like Uncle Kentucky Fried Chicken, was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Behind her, the Black Ice Phoenix walked with a smile and light steps, like a queen at a banquet ball.

As she danced gracefully, her ice-blue dress billowed up, resembling a beautiful blooming ice flower when viewed from above.

However, her exquisite dance was dangerous and deadly.

As she passed by the researchers who had been frozen into ice sculptures, all the ice sculptures exploded.

Along with the researchers inside, they all turned into countless ice crystals.

At this moment, Hei Xuanbinghuang blushed and looked at Gu Qianhan beside her.

"Master, wasn't Hei Xuan's dance beautiful?"

The latter praised her without reservation.

"Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon, radiant as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as spring pines."

"It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and it flutters like the snow covered by the flowing wind."

This phrase comes from Cao Zhi's "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is perfectly suited to describe the beauty of the Black Ice Phoenix.

Hearing Gu Qianhan's praise, Hei Xuanbinghuang was so excited that she hugged him and kissed him.

Seeing the two so intimate and ignoring him, Colonel Sanders across from him was trembling with fear.

Of course, part of the reason is that it was frozen.

Because Gu Qianhan froze the other party's limbs with Frost and Snow Cold Waves immediately, he had no chance to escape.

At this moment, Gu Qianhan put his arm around Hei Xuanbinghuang's waist and looked at Colonel Sanders with a smile.

"Colonel Sanders, congratulations on winning the lottery."

"You will be the first target I kill after becoming an assassin."

"You will have the opportunity to learn about your cause of death and to give an acceptance speech."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Sanders was almost in tears.

"You can't kill me! There are people waiting for me. I can't die!"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Gu Qianhan couldn't help but drop the playful expression on her face.

"Oh?"

"Is someone waiting for you?"

"Could it be Nangong Zhaoyue, the famous courtesan from Xuanwu Kingdom?"

"If it's her, then I'm sorry, she's already dead."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Sanders was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

His eyes widened, and he kept muttering "impossible."

Gu Qianhan chuckled at this.

"How is it impossible?"

“Nangong Zhaoyue waited for you for decades before dying a few years ago. Now she is buried under the peach tree at the entrance of Flower Street.”

"My client told me that Nangong Zhaoyue was hoping that you could take her away from the red-light district until the very last moment of her life."

"You've been lying to her for so long~"

At that moment, Colonel Sanders interrupted Gu Qianhan with a loud roar.

"You're lying! You're a liar!"

"Nangong, she... Nangong is not dead!!"

“We…we correspond with each other every month…”

"Just now... I even saw the handwritten letter she gave me, how could she be dead?!"

"We even made a promise in our letter that once I've developed the perfect fusion warrior for the Kingdom of Ster, I can go and take her away from Flower Street!!"

After hearing Sanders' words, Gu Qianhan probably understood.

This KFC guy has probably been deceived by the higher-ups in St. Louis.

"The Black Ice Phoenix said softly from the side."

Is it possible that you've already been scammed?

"All the letters you've received over the years might just be a tactic used by the higher-ups in the Kingdom of Ster to trap you."

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan shook her head helplessly.

Sure enough, there was more to the story.

But what business is it of his whether there are hidden reasons or not?

This Sanders is going to die today.

But if you don't take advantage of a big scandal, are you still a proper Chinese citizen?

"I can tell you with certainty that Nangong Zhaoyue is indeed dead, and has been dead for many years."

"Now that so many years have passed, why don't you go see her yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Sanders seemed to have lost his soul. If his hands and feet hadn't been frozen by Gu Qianhan, he probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Because I cannot leave the Kingdom of Ster..."

Gu Qianhan curled her lip in response.

"Can't we leave the Kingdom of Ster?"

"You can send fused magical beasts to the border of Xuanwu Kingdom, let alone the fact that you are in charge of the research on fused monsters. How can you not leave Ster Kingdom?"

The latter was already in tears, shaking his head with a choked voice.

"I really can't leave Sterling."

"This is a request from the higher-ups in the Kingdom of Ster. If I leave the Kingdom of Ster even half a step, they will immediately send someone to assassinate Nangong Zhaoyue."

"They said they would set me free as long as I could develop a perfect fusion magical beast..."

But when Sanders got to this point, he froze.

He finally understood.

All of this is nothing more than a despicable tactic used by the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Ster to restrain themselves.

They kept making grand promises to themselves, saying that once they succeeded in their research, they could meet their loved ones.

Over the years, he has indeed devoted himself to research with almost all his energy.

But he discovered a problem.

That is, whenever his research made some progress, his research results would be destroyed.

However, these things never happened again after Anquich was executed by the Prince of St. Storz.

His research has been progressing rapidly lately, and he will soon be able to obtain the most perfect fused magical beast!

It wasn't until this moment that Sanders understood.

It turns out that he had been completely fooled by that bastard high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Ster all along.

It's likely that Nangong Zhaoyue's death was directly caused by the other party!

At this moment, Sanders seemed to have a mental breakdown.

He was screaming in pain.

"Liar! The Kingdom of Ster!!"

"You guys have totally ripped me off!!"

Seeing Sanders break down in tears, Gu Qianhan slowly drew her Frost and Snow Cold Wave.

He's already finished eating the melon.

This Sanders is ready to hit the road.

Just then, Sanders suddenly looked at Gu Qianhan.

"Mr. Gu, I am completely disheartened."

"If you kill me, I will not resist."

"But I have only one request before I die: could you let me take one last look at the peach tree where Nangong is before you kill me?"

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan chuckled.

"Do you think you're qualified to bargain with me?"

Upon hearing this, Sanders nodded blankly.

"Alright, then can I ask you to do me a favor and kill that high-ranking official from the Kingdom of Ster?"

"I have money, and I will give you all the money I've saved over the years!"

"I only ask that you accept this commission after you kill me, then I will die without regret!!"

Gu Qianhan sighed softly after hearing this.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard the system's familiar, crisp voice in his mind.

【Ding……】
