Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
chapter-233

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The person on the rooftop was certainly not the womanizer.

Because the laughter came from a female. It was not hard to guess the identity of the female, Song Cailian.

As expected, Song united with the womanizer.

All the people, especially Shi Qingzhou, didn’t expect this unforeseen circumstance.

If the sneak attack only targeted Shi, Shi definitely could flee.

But he couldn’t. Since Long was beside Shi, it was impossible for Shi to flee alone.

Every attack launched by the womanizer was vicious and atrocious. And the internal force of the womanizer was stronger than that of Shi.

As a result, Shi had to fight the womanizer after fending off three attacks with Long around him. Otherwise, Long would get injured.

Shi didn’t have any chance to let Long down during the fighting.

Seeing Long and Shi were attacked, some shadow guardians guarding on the rooftop flew to them because the safety of Long and Shi was the most important for shadow guardians…

Then the outer guarding circle constituted by shadow guardians had a breach.

It was already difficult for so many guards to stop Song from fleeing.

Now shadow guardians made a breach themselves, so Song fled immediately.

Grinding their teeth, the rest shadow guardians then flew to Long instead of chasing after Song.

But it was still late.

After taking the slap with hands, Shi’s blood flew so unstably. Shi forced himself to swallow the blood at the part of the throat.

But that was not the only tactic of the womanizer.

He cast a same silver thread which was so flexible and was twined around the waist of Long as soon as it was cast. Then Long flew to the womanizer when the womanizer pulled the silver thread.

Shi certainly was not willing to let Long fly to the womanizer, so he dragged Long by instinct.

The womanizer laughed, “You can drag him, but I will not let him go. How about breaking up his body?”

Being startled, Shi loosened Long spontaneously.

But Long was pulled over immediately.

With eyes turning red, Shi rushed at the womanizer with the speed faster than ever.

“Uh?” The womanizer was stunned. But since Long had been captured, the womanizer didn’t want to risk his life at all, so he directly took Long to flee.

With blood red in Shi’s eyes darkening, Shi moved at a extremely fast speed and cast his soft sword directly at the same time.

Feeling the risk coming, the womanizer could only take Long to fly up with the purpose of fending off the attack.

But that movement caused the womanizer to slow down.

In this moment, Shi had caught up with the womanizer and launched a violent attack.

Shi didn’t care about his life when fighting the womanizer as if he preferred suffering injuries much more serious than the womanizer.

But the womanizer cherished his life, who didn’t want to die together with Shi. So the womanizer naturally tried to fend off Shi’s attacks.

At the moment, other shadow guardians including Ying Feng came over.

Ouyang had ran after Song and Liu who was unable to move for no reason.

With Ying Feng joining the fighting, the womanizer was besieged circle upon circle.

The womanizer narrowed his eyes, with his hand pulling Long tight.

“Hehe, come on. But be cautious of your swords. He is your master, not mine.”

The womanizer’s threat worked, especially for those shadow guardians who certainly dared not hurt Long at all.

During the siege, the womanizer used Long as the shield several times. As a result, two shadow guardians had to stopped attacking due to Long when they almost stabbed the womanizer.

With half an hour passed, the womanizer laughed before striking Long’s neck and making a very weird sound.

Just when the sound arose, Shi paused while launching a violent attack, then Shi stood still.

At the moment, the womanizer rushed at Shi suddenly.

Ying Feng, who was fighting beside Shi, just took Shi to fly away.

Although Shi wasn’t hurt, a breach was opened due to Ying Feng’s behavior.

With the powerful flying skills, the womanizer took Long to break through the siege after laughing, “Don’t run after me, I will kill him otherwise.”

Then the womanizer flew to the rooftop… and left. Several shadow guardians flying to stop the womanizer were either worse than the womanizer in martial arts or stopped by Long’s body which was used as the shield of the womanizer. As a result, all the attacks were in vain.

After several breaths, the womanizer had taken Long to fly away.

After the womanizer left, shadow guardians ran after him in a hurry.

While, Shi couldn’t move until spitting out blood.

“Master Shi.” Ying Feng’s voice trembled slightly.

Shi’s eyes had turned to blood red, “Chase.”

With one word left, Shi had flown away. Being startled inwardly, Ying Feng followed Shi quickly.

Knowing he was seized, Long hated himself for being taken as the encumbrance due to his weakness.

In addition, the guards failed to arrest the target because of him…

Long even regretted coming here tonight.

But he also thought if he didn’t come here, the womanizer or Song would go to the residence too…

When his neck felt painful, Long tried to keep awake, but he failed and fainted. Therefore, he didn’t know anything happened after he fainted.

Long heard plops when he came to his sense again.

That was the sound of dripping water.

Opening his eyes, Long knew he was not in a place like a room based on the moist and uncomfortable feeling coming from his back.

As expected, he found he was in… a cave.

The cave was extremely wet, which not only had water on the ground but also dripped.

Long was lying beside a puddle in which water was dropping, that was why he heard the plops.

Where was this place?

Looking sideways, Long was startled, “Liu Suifeng!”

Liu was also here!

Long remembered that Liu was taken away yesterday, by Song Cailian.

In a manner of speaking, Song Cailian and the womanizer utterly defeated the strength of Long.

Two enemies carried two captives and fled under the siege of several hundreds of guards.

“Liu Suifeng.” Long wanted to awaken Liu.

Finding Liu had no sign of waking up, Long tried to crawled up when he saw his legs were winded around by a silver thread. But Long didn’t notice it before, so he almost fell down when he tried to stand up.

Fortunately, Longs hands were not winded, so he support himself by his elbow to avoid from falling down.

Long intended to untie the silver thread winding around his legs with his free hands, but failed.

Worrying Liu’s condition, Long put the silver thread aside and move to Liu.

Liu’s legs were also winded by the silver thread. Long wondered whether he could directly take off the silver thread. But he obviously underestimated the intelligence quotient of the enemies. Since they dared left Long and Liu here with the silver threads, they would be sure that Long and Liu could not untie those silver threads.

At last, Long still failed to untie the silver thread winded around Liu.

“Liu Suifeng, wake up, wake up.” Failing to untie the silver thread, Long could only push Liu with the hope of waking Liu up.

It worked luckily. After pushing Liu several times, Liu really woke up after groaning.

Long was glad that Liu woke up.

“Liu Suifen, are you awake?”

Liu opened his eyes suddenly. He understood his situation after catching sight of Long and looked pale especially after he moved his hands and feet.

“What is it? I can’ untie it.” Pointing at the silver thread winded around his feet, Long asked.

“Curled-up dragon silver thread.” Liu answered, “It only can be untied with both the internal force and a special liquid medicine.”

“Ho. Have you gotten that liquid medicine with you?”

Liu Shook his head, “I had been searched very thoroughly. All the medicines including those hided inside my fingernails had been taken away, except those concealed in hairs.”

Long was disappointed, “What about your internal force?”

“Sealed.” Liu looked paler.

Liu sensed his internal force, “My internal force was not sealed. But it makes no difference whether it is sealed or not.”

Liu was kind of silent.

Long sighed, “It doesn’t matter. Qingzhou will find us… By the way, why do you stop moving in the air while fighting last night?”

Hearing this, Liu looked much paler, “We fell into their trap early.”

Long was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Liu answered, “There is a special medicinal powder put on our bodies, which can guide enemies to find the place we hide and control us in a short time… Since you are captured, you also fell into the trap, right?”

Thinking for a while, Long said, “I think so. Qingzhou seemed to stop moving suddenly either.”

Liu took a deep breath, “It was careless of me to fail to detect the trap.”

“Do you know what is the medicinal powder?”

“No, I have never seen it before, but I heard it.”

“Well… is the powder still working on us now?”
