Book of Disaster

The "Book of Heaven" seemed not to have heard his question. The familiar voice sounded again. At the same time, light flashed in front of Bai Qi's eyes, and lines of translucent text similar to projections appeared in front of him:

"The night is long and the crisis is not over yet. You who came out of the palace don't know that because of your outstanding performance in Taishi Palace, you have attracted the attention and murderous intentions of some people."

"You returned to the Bai family mansion. It was late at night and you felt sleepy. You decided to turn off the lights and go to bed. However, at this moment, an assassin descended from the sky and pierced your heart with a sword. Your life ended there and you remained forever at the age of fifteen. Bai Qi, the youngest son of the Bai family, died!"

What the hell!

your sister!

Bai Qi couldn't help but curse.

How long has the crisis in Taishi Palace ended? Another assassin has come? Is this the end?

Is this a heavenly book? Is this a golden finger?

This is a death warrant!

"Humph, you really think I can't do anything to you? I'm not sleepy anymore, don't even think about forcing me to sleep. I'm leaving now, let's see how you continue!"

Bai Qi got angry on the spot, wrapped his clothes tightly and walked out directly, but just as he stepped out of the door:

"When you returned to the Bai family mansion, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. You ignored the guards' objections and insisted on leaving the mansion. However, a cruel gaze was watching you secretly in the darkness. Before you could take a few steps, you were cut in half by a pitch-black sword in the night. Your intestines spilled all over the floor. Your death was horrible. Judging from the twisted face before you died, you must have been in great pain."

"..."

Bai Qi.

"Humph, I can't leave the house, so I'll stay in my room. I won't sleep, and I'll just call a bunch of guards to guard me. I don't believe he has three heads and six arms."

Bai Qi said again.

"When you returned to the Bai family mansion, it was late at night and everyone was asleep. You felt extremely uneasy, so you called all the guards in the mansion to guard the area. However, what you didn't expect was that one of the guards stabbed your chest with a long sword like a poisonous snake. The sword didn't kill you, but because it was smeared with a nerve-paralyzing poison, it destroyed your nerves and you could no longer control your body. Although you were conscious, you could only lie motionless in bed. This went on for a long time until the end of your life."

"!!!"

Bai Qi's face suddenly twisted. Isn't this a vegetable? Isn't this half-dead look even worse than before?

This is totally not intended to give him a chance to survive!

"...Since the assassin is also proficient in the art of disguise, the guards in the mansion can no longer be called upon. They will only die faster."

Bai Qi quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation.

There was definitely nothing wrong with the guards of the Bai Mansion. The problem obviously lay with the assassin. Compared to a quick and fatal blow, Bai Qi could not accept the chronic torment of being in a vegetative state.

"Is the General's Mansion so weak? How come it doesn't even have a real expert guard?"

Bai Qi started to complain. Of course, there was another possibility, that is, the opponent was very powerful and the guards in the mansion alone could not stop him.

"…But do you really think there is nothing I can do? My fate is in my own hands."

Bai Qi thought hatefully in his heart.

After a while——

"Hehe, now you can't do anything to me!"

Bai Qi curled up and crawled under the bed, with a sly look in his eyes, looking complacent:

"This damn heavenly book only said that I can't leave here. Since it wants me to sleep, it doesn't say that I have to sleep in bed, right?"

Sure enough, after Bai Qi hid under the bed, there were no more hints or movements from the Heavenly Book.

"Either the reminders from the Heavenly Book are limited, or this is the only way to survive. Whatever the case, this is all I can do."

"Humph, it's not that easy to fight me!"

Bai Qi was lying under the bed, thinking with a little pride.

However, even though he had come up with a solution, something happened that Bai Qi had not expected.

Bai Qi drank too much tonight and was already dizzy. Although he seemed to be the center of attention in the Tai Shi Palace, he was actually very nervous and could no longer endure the pain. In an instant, waves of fatigue swept over him like the tide.

"Shit! I can't sleep at a time like this!"

Despite trying hard to hold on, Bai Qi surrendered in just a moment and actually fell asleep.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only sound left was the crackling of the fire in the charcoal basin, but even this charcoal fire gradually burned smaller and smaller in the cold winter.

At this moment, in the endless snow outside the gate of the Bai Mansion, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared in the neighboring house just one street away. The pair of eyes as sharp as swords revealed murderous intent. In a flash, it quickly locked onto the Bai Mansion in front of it.

The Bai family mansion is deep and has many houses, including pavilions and towers. It is difficult for outsiders to identify them, but the man's eyes swept through layers of space and directly locked onto the room where Bai Qi was.

Those eyes in the night were like an iceberg, calm and without the slightest ripple. However, when they passed through Bai Qi's room, those eyes could not help but waver slightly, faintly dim and somewhat unwilling.

"I never thought that a top-ranked shadow assassin like me would be sent to deal with a young boy, but that person's order... is hard to disobey! Well, it won't take much time anyway, so I should finish the mission and go back."

Whoosh!

The next moment, a strong wind blew past, and the man instantly disappeared from the roof and entered the Bai family mansion without anyone noticing.

Time passed slowly. It was unknown how long it had been before Bai Qi, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a chill. It was not the coldness of winter extinguished by the charcoal fire, but a deeper level of coldness, which even made the bones in the body feel cold.

"what happened?"

Bai Qi opened his eyes in a daze, but before he could fully wake up, a slight sound suddenly came from above his head. Immediately afterwards, in this extreme silence, a long sword suddenly fell from the sky and pierced through the bed above his head.

The sharp and cold sword was less than half an inch away from Bai Qi's nose.

Bai Qi could even feel the unique steel chill of the sword tip.

"!!!"

assassin!

Bai Qi's eyes suddenly widened, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, his heart trembled violently, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

Although he had known that there would be an assassin, when the reality really happened, the suffocating sense of danger and death still made Bai Qi feel deeply terrified.

If you make any sound, you will definitely die.

Time seemed to be infinitely long at this moment, and Bai Qi lay under the bed, not daring to move.

Accompanied by a slight sound, through the corner of his eye and the glow of the charcoal embers in the room, Bai Qi clearly saw a pair of feet wearing black musk deer leather boots beside the bed, which looked extremely terrifying.
