Chapter 516 Horror, She Only Had One Chance!

The coat was not thick, but it was rain-proof with a hood. Yujie and Qing’er helped Shao Wanru put it on.

Meanwhile, Shao Jie’er hid in a corner and shivered, looking pitiful.

“It’s not raining yet. If you want to leave, just leave now!” Shao Wanru said coldly.

Shao Jie’er was stunned at first, and then suddenly came to her senses. After glancing at the dim lamps, she pulled Liuxiang up and turned to run away. Even someone as inexperienced as her found that it was not a peaceful place.

“If anything happens, go to the east, go all the way east!” Hearing Shao Wanru’s voice from behind, Shao Jie’er nodded hard, sobbed and subconsciously did as Shao Wanru told her. After getting out of the hall, she went straight to the east gate with Liuxiang.

In the east, there were actually plenty of Zen rooms where the nuns lived. There might be no one in other places, but there must be some nuns in that area.

Shao Wanru had put on the coat. “Miss, you leave first with Yujie, and I’ll come after you!” Qing’er had held back the childishness in her eyes and said anxiously.

When Qu Le came back just now and told her about the situation, she knew that something terrible was going to happen. So came here with the raincoat. However, the situation was not clear at the moment. She just hoped that her master could get her message and come here soon.

“Maybe Miss and I can hide here?” Yujie looked at the thundering sky outside and said.

“This won’t do. We have to leave!” Qing’er said anxiously. The thunderclaps outside were striking. Something terrible was most likely to happen at this time.

“Let’s go!” Shao Wanru nodded and said. She clenched her cold fists and immediately walked out. One of the lamps suddenly went out.

After rushing into the darkness and trying to tell the direction, Shao Wanru also headed east. The entire Yuhui Nunnery was in darkness with continuous thunders. No one knew what was going to happen. The abnormal situation in the hall made her feel that she would be in great danger today. With a trace of cold sparkle across her watery eyes, she thought, “Who did this?”

Yujie followed Shao Wanru closely to clear the way for her. Holding her with one hand, Shao Wanru couldn’t see clearly in the darkness and bumped into something from time to time, but everything was blocked by Yujie.

Qing’er stayed behind. Shao Wanru calmed down and looked back. In such darkness, even someone, who was familiar with the route, might not be able to find her.

After making sure of the direction to the east, Shao Wanru continued running forward. It finally began to rain in thunders. However, with a peal of deafening thunder, a corner of the hall was on fire. It seemed that the thunder struck Yuhui Nunnery and caused the fire. The fire rose to the sky at once, and even the heavy rain couldn’t put it out.

Shao Wanru stopped and turned her head to look over there. The hall with eaves curling up was obviously the one where she had stayed before. If she were still there, she probably would not be able to escape and might even have been killed, and the “fire of heaven” could cover the cause of her death.

“Miss…” Yujie also took a deep breath and said in horror.

“Let’s go!” Shao Wanru crooked her cold finger, turned around and said. When she was about to go forward, she was suddenly pulled by Yujie to the back of a big tree.

There came footsteps belonging to more than one person from ahead. They heard someone say, “Keep searching. We must find her!”

The voice was low, but gloomy and cold. Although Shao Wanru was reborn in this life, she had never expected that she would fall into such a situation. She clenched her teeth and held Yujie’s hand tightly. They leaned still against the wet tree, for fear of making any noise.

Someone had figured out their thought and knew that they were going to the east where there were a lot of people.

Another bolt of lightning flashed across the darkness. This time Shao Wanru clearly saw several dark figures appear at the entrance of the Moon Cave. She subconsciously clenched her fists and trembled slightly.

“Everyone, disperse to search for her and take her away immediately after finding her!” The black-clad man, who had spoken before, said again. Several dark figures dispersed, and the rest of them searched the nearby corners step by step.

One of the black-clad men was about to come to them.

“Miss, go in another direction later. I’ll go out first.” Yujie whispered in Shao Wanru’s ear. Before Shao Wanru answered, she rushed out from behind the tree and ran into the darkness.

The black-clad men who were searching, immediately noticed that and chased after Yujie one after another.

Shao Wanru’s tears fell down, mixed with the rain, and slipped into her mouth. She knew what Yujie meant. Yujie intended to distract the black-clad men’s attention and give her a way out.

It was the best time to leave, but she still leaned against the tree without moving, almost merging with the tree.

As she expected, after a long time, she saw a black-clad man appear behind a rock. After walking around for a while, he turned around and obviously went somewhere else to search for her.

Seeing the black-clad man leave, Shao Wanru let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the way she came here, she gnashed her teeth, turned around and went back to the hall. It was not safe to go anywhere at this time. Obviously these black-clad men were searching for her, and wouldn’t stop searching until they found her.

She might meet Qing’er on her way back to the hall. Since Qing’er was sent here by Chu Liuchen, she wouldn’t fall into the trap easily.

Moreover, the rising fire in the hall should have alarmed everyone in the Yuhui Nunnery. There should be some people coming to put out the fire. With other people in the hall, the black-clad men would not dare to act rashly no matter who they worked for.

Of course it was risky at the same time. If those black-clad men found her before other people, she would be in greater danger. Nevertheless, she couldn’t come up with a better idea at this moment.

She bet that those black-clad men would not recognize the coat on her at once. The raincoat was brought by Qing’er. It was somewhat dark green, which enabled her to hide herself in the dark. At first glance, it looked completely different from the plain white clothes she wore before.

In the darkness, she couldn’t tell the direction, so she went straight to the place where the fire rose. With no one around, she only heard her footsteps, accompanied by continuous thunders coming in increasingly high frequency. After the thunders, there came lightning. In the lightning and thunders, Shao Wanru’s figure could be seen from time to time.

Suddenly there came some hurried footsteps from behind her. Shao Wanru turned around in a flurry and saw a black-clad man show up behind the door behind her. When she was about to stop walking, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and the two of them immediately met each other’s eyes.

After the lightning flashed, Shao Wanru hurriedly hid behind the rockery at the side. She cautiously lifted the hem of her clothes and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the black-clad man.

Seeing her figure here, the black-clad man was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly turned around and walked towards Shao Wanru. He had seen clearly just now that it was a gorgeous girl who still looked delicate and charming in the pouring rain. It was the first time that he had seen such a gorgeous girl.

“Come out. I saw you!” The black-clad man stood at the intersection, where Shao Wanru had stood, and said in a cold voice.

Shao Wanru leaned against the rockery and did not dare to move. She took the sharp hairpin from her bun, pointed it at the outside, tried to calm down and thought about the possibility that the black-clad man would come over.

There were some rocks and big trees around her. In terms of searching for someone hiding here, the rockery, behind which she was hiding, was definitely the most conspicuous one. At the moment, the black-clad man seemed to have found her hiding place and walked steadily toward her.

Her heart pounded rapidly and almost jumped out of her chest. Shao Wanru tried hard to suppress her breath, for fear that the black-clad man would discover her exact location.

It was still raining heavily, which drowned part of the sounds. She crouched down and touched a stone under her feet. It seemed to be more reassuring than a hairpin. She cautiously picked up this big sharp stone and lifted it over her head, waiting quietly in the darkness, listening to the footsteps coming slowly in the darkness.

“Little beauty, come out. You can live a wealthy life with me in the future.” The black-clad man stood at the opening of the rockery cautiously and said with a chuckle.

He had just taken a glimpse at the girl a moment ago, but he could tell that she was definitely a gorgeous beauty. Especially when she was in such a mess, the rain or tears on her delicate face made him feel tender toward her at first glance. At the thought of the weeping beauty who was so lovingly pathetic, the black-clad man involuntarily showed a touch of lasciviousness in his eyes.

Shao Wanru stood in the darkness and held the stone high without moving.

She did not dare to move, for fear that any carelessness would make her fall into the hands of the black-clad man.

“Little beauty, don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to hurt you. I will only love you ardently. Don’t worry. Just come out!” The black -clad man tried to coax her to come out again.

“Come out quickly, or it won’t be easy to deal with me when I rush over later,” the black-clad man said with the cold sparkle flashing in his hands. It was a knife.

Shao Wanru became increasingly nervous, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The black-clad man called her a few more times, but got no answer. He immediately became impatient. It was not far from the hall on fire. If he wasted more time here, he was very likely to be discovered. The black-clad man was not afraid of being discovered, because he could kill anyone who saw him. Nevertheless, he did not want to get into more trouble.

Swaying the knife in his hand, he walked cautiously inside while saying, “Little beauty, don’t hide yourself. I saw you. If you come out obediently, I can treat you well. If you dare to keep hiding, I won’t be gentle to you when I find you!”

The knife was right in front of Shao Wanru and almost touched her as the black-clad man swayed it. She almost exerted all her strength to throw the stone in her hand forward subconsciously, while grasping the hairpin in the other hand.

As soon as the stone was thrown out, the black-clad man was startled. He swayed the knife in his hand to block the sharp stone, and the stone fell heavily to the ground with a loud crash.

The black-clad man stretched out the other hand with curses, grabbed Shao Wanru’s clothes and pulled her into his arms. Shao Wanru staggered and struggled to free herself. The black-clad man said, “Little beauty, come here!”

Another bolt of lightning flashed and pierced through the crack in the rockery. Under the faint light, Shao Wanru bit her lower lip hard and exerted herself to stab the black-clad man with the hairpin in her hand.

Shao Wanru knew clearly that if she really fell into the hands of this black-clad man, she was really doomed!

She only had one chance…
