Chapter Thirty-Three: Hair Standing on End

  Back to the Water Mansion, it was still quiet. Shui Lian Yue didn't return to Lan Xiang Pavilion but instead headed towards Shui Mu Yao's Nuan Yao Pavilion with Hong Ying closely following her mistress.

  They stepped lightly into the courtyard, came to the window and opened it. Seeing that the three big men had not arrived yet, Shui Lian Yue took out a bamboo tube from her bosom and blew into the house. It turned out that in these years she had been learning in ancient times, but going to the dock to find Hei Shou for work was a rule that had been passed down from ancient times to modern times.

  The dock is the dirtiest place, dirty deals, killings and robberies, human traffickers trading people, all happen here, there's no better place to discuss business than the dock.

  Just as Shui Lian Yue and Hong Ying were standing guard outside the window, three black shadows darted into the yard. In the blink of an eye, they slipped into the house under the cover of darkness. Clearly, this was a group of seasoned pros, with their movements perfectly coordinated like a well-oiled machine. One kept watch at the door while the other two picked the lock with ease. It had to be said that their night vision was incredibly strong.

  The water mansion is very large, and it's the middle of the night now. The whole mansion is pitch black, with only the patrolling house guards holding lanterns in their hands. They were able to evade the patrolling house guards and easily arrived at their destination, showing some skill.

  In the blink of an eye, Shui Muyao's door closed gently, and except for the faint sound of clothes being taken off and the man's heavy breathing, there was indeed no trace left behind. Shui Lianyue nodded in satisfaction.

  Hong Ying looked at Shui Wan Yue, this kind of thing for her, it was the first time, so shocking and thrilling, so frightening. Who is Shui Mu Yao? No matter how arrogant and overbearing, no matter how vicious and cruel, she is still a young lady from one of the three major families, and a legitimate daughter at that... and yet... by three big men... her heart actually felt sympathy and pity for her. Miss, was it too much to take things this far?

  In the darkness, Shui Lian Yue's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and the corner of her mouth under the veil slightly hooked up, revealing a cold smile. "Shui Mu Yao, you come in the light, I come in the dark. I'd like to see what kind of face you'll show off in the future. Can your arrogant and domineering capital still be fully utilized?"

  After a flurry of thoughts, Shui Lianyue pulled the red tassel and the two left Wēn Yáo Gé, quickly arriving at the dock. This time, Shui Lianyue removed her veil, revealing that stunning face, still as cold as an icy cellar.

  She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath again, the wind on the dock grew stronger and stronger, the air was filled with moisture and a fishy smell, gradually, the wind carried raindrops sweeping towards the dock.

  A cup of tea's workmanship, three black shadows crept from afar, no need to say, those three men came for the money.

  Shui Lian Yue made no attempt to conceal her appearance, her phoenix-like eyes slightly raised, and she smiled faintly at the three big men. In an instant, a storm arrived, washing away everything on the dock. The three big men were first stunned, then their six eyes flashed with a fierce and savage look.

  Her long hair danced in the wind, like a black snake with its jaws open. Her beautiful face was enchanting, her eyes were seductive, and she didn't lose any color due to the rainwater. On the contrary, her smile added a few more touches of charm and allure. However, the three big men had no idea that danger was approaching them step by step.

  That smile grew more and more wild, more and more captivating, bewildering the three big men, with knives rising and falling in an instant.

  The rain washed away the bright red bloodstains, Shuiyue's smile froze, and she let out a cold snort. With a swift movement, she kicked the three corpses into the lake. The red tassels behind her were completely stunned - was that still the young lady she knew? Was that still her young lady?

  It's as if she had become a different person. The young lady rarely smiled on ordinary days, but that smile just now... Why didn't she find it beautiful at all, and instead felt a chill run down her spine?
