The sudden appearance of Kato Miyoko left Xiao Yun stunned. Why was she here at such a late hour?
Moreover, Xiao Yun could tell that this woman seemed to have been here for quite some time, which meant that she must have overheard the conversation between herself and Wei Qinghe. In other words, her true identity had been exposed in front of her.
Mud Horse, why did this woman choose to appear at this moment, of all times?
In order to reclaim the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror from that mysterious woman at Paradise Beauty Club, did she really have to kill this woman tonight as well?
"Director Kato, what brings you here?" Xiao Yun asked, her face darkening as she stepped closer.
Kato Miyoko was dressed in a kimono, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and her elegant legs curled together. When she saw Xiao Yun approaching with an unfriendly expression, her pretty face turned even paler, and her charming eyes now reflected fear and horror.
Usually, Kato Miyoko rarely wore a kimono; it was clear that she had dressed up meticulously for her visit to see Xiao Yun tonight.
A red dot adorned her forehead, her slender eyebrows were carefully groomed, and her delicate lips were lightly coated with lipstick. At first glance, she looked like a legendary fairy stepping out of a traditional painting from the Island Nation.
As Xiao Yun drew nearer, Kato Miyoko panicked. She tried to struggle to stand up and escape, but her legs felt weak and she couldn't get up at all. She looked at Xiao Yun in terror and stammered, "Y-you... don’t come any closer..."
Even this Exterminator Master had moments of fear. Seeing Kato Miyoko in such a state made Xiao Yun suddenly smile and say, "Director Kato, what are you afraid of?"
"I... Xiao Yun, no, Long San, in my eyes, you will always be Long San. Please don’t kill me; I beg you..." The tone reminded Xiao Yun of the time when Kato had fallen into Sato Jinpachi's hands. Back then, she had used the same tone when pleading for help over the phone.
Panic-stricken.
Helpless.
Trembling...
At that moment, Xiao Yun's heart softened unexpectedly.
Xiao Yun stared intently at Kato Miyoko's stunning face, finding it hard to bring himself to harm her.
"Just go!" After a while, Xiao Yun spoke with some difficulty.
"Thank you, Long San!" Kato Miyoko replied.
"You can't let her go!"
Just as Kato Miyoko got up and was about to leave, Boss Lady rushed out, leaping into the air like a swallow, blocking her path.
Bang!
At the same time, Boss Lady kicked Kato Miyoko down to the ground.
"Ah—" Kato Miyoko cried out in pain.
At this moment, Boss Lady pulled out a gleaming short knife from her waist and coldly said, "Xiao Yun, if you can't bring yourself to deal with this woman, then leave it to me!"
Xiao Yun never expected that the usually charming and lovely Boss Lady would have such a murderous look on her face now, her eyes flashing with hostility, resembling a fierce female demon.
"Long San, save me!" Kato Miyoko scrambled behind Xiao Yun for protection.
Boss Lady fixed her gaze on Xiao Yun and said, "Get out of the way!"
"Why do you want to kill her?" Xiao Yun asked.
"For the Heart-Cleansing Pearl!" Boss Lady replied.
"Are you saying that you came to Island Nation just to seize the Heart-Cleansing Pearl?"
"Boss Lady" said, "That's right. A few years ago, I received the 'General's Order' and infiltrated 'Jizhu Hall' to seize the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl' from the 'Paradise Beauty Club' and bring it back to Huaxia!"
"General's Order?"
"Liu Ziyan and Han Xing, those two sisters-in-law, also received a mysterious 'General's Order' to come to the 'Island Nation,' didn't they?"
Xiao Yun curiously asked, "Are you from the Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Sect?"
"Boss Lady" replied, "Yes."
Xiao Yun then asked, "Who gave you the 'General's Order'?"
"Boss Lady" shook her head and said, "I don't know. In any case, over a thousand years ago, the Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Sect established a rule that anyone who receives a 'General's Order,' regardless of their sect, must act according to what is stated in the order. Anyone who dares to defy the 'General's Order' will face severe punishment!"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "You mentioned that you would return to Huaxia on the day of the Snow Festival. If you don't obtain the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl,' aren't you afraid of being punished for returning empty-handed?"
"Boss Lady" replied, "Because you are here, I believe you can retrieve the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl,' so I can rest assured about going back."
Xiao Yun couldn't help but curiously ask, "Retrieving the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl' by me and retrieving it by you—can they be the same thing?"
"Boss Lady" said, "Of course they are the same. As long as we can bring back Huaxia's Ancient Divine Artifact and prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives, it doesn't matter who retrieves it."
When Liu Ziyan received the 'General's Order,' it was to investigate the 'Heavenly Mechanism Mirror' in the Island Nation. Xiao Yun did not expect that this "Boss Lady" came to the Island Nation with the mission of obtaining the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl.'
Clearly, "Boss Lady" had infiltrated 'Jizhu Hall' and even acted as a double agent for Wei Qinghe and Drunken Lady to observe them while they attempted to seize the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl,' waiting for an opportunity to benefit from their conflict.
It can be imagined that behind "Boss Lady," there must be a group of experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect secretly assisting her; otherwise, how could she alone retrieve the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl'?
Xiao Yun was very curious about who this mysterious figure behind the 'General's Order' was. It was evident that this person did not know that the 'Heart-Cleansing Pearl' was actually the 'Heavenly Mechanism Mirror.'
Xiao Yun no longer inquired about which Ancient Martial Arts Sect Boss Lady came from, feeling it unnecessary to ask such questions.
He glanced at Kato Miyoko, who was hiding behind him, squinting his eyes and smiling as he said to Boss Lady, "Tofu Xishi, since the matter of obtaining the Heart-Cleansing Pearl has been entrusted to me, I will handle everything else well. For my sake, let Kato Miyoko go!"
"No way, this woman absolutely cannot be allowed to return alive!" Boss Lady said with a murderous glint in her eyes.
Upon hearing her words, Kato Miyoko felt weak with fear, nearly collapsing to the ground.
She tightly grasped Xiao Yun's sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Long San, I... I don't want to die. Please save me..."
Hearing her words, Xiao Yun turned around and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Director Kato, as long as I'm here, you will be fine!"
"Xiao Yun, have you really fallen for this Island Nation woman?" Boss Lady questioned sharply.
Master Xiao smiled at Boss Lady and replied, "That's right, Tofu Xishi. I have indeed fallen for Kato Miyoko. Since she is the woman I like, I won't allow anyone to harm her in the slightest!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Kato Miyoko couldn't help but tremble again, feeling not only shock but also a surge of deep emotion...
Boss Lady's expression immediately darkened as she coldly said, "You truly are a rare heartbreaker in this world. But you should know that letting Kato Miyoko go puts you at risk of her exposing your true identity. That would certainly affect your chances of retrieving the Heart-Cleansing Pearl!"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and embraced Kato Miyoko, saying, "Tofu Xishi, since I like her, I will give her enough trust. I believe she won't leak tonight's events or my identity!"
