Chapter 1, The Peony Blossoms

As the night grew cold, Yan suddenly realized that his mouth felt a bit dry, and the darkness gradually coalesced in his amber-colored eyes, reaching a level of danger that stirred the heart

It felt as though the light was blocked by a shadowy figure. Luo Nian raised her head to look at the person blocking her light, her big, dark eyes staring motionlessly at him, while her small mouth continued to sip the wine. After a few seconds, she gently stepped aside with her foot and continued to squat on the ground, looking elsewhere.

The empty wine glass emitted a hollow notification of completion, as the big, round eyes glanced at the vacant glass and then at the bartender still in the distance, the small body swaying as it attempted to rise up

It appeared behind him like a ghostly specter, shrouded in ink.

My name is Peony. Before Ye Hanyan could finish speaking, her small mouth moved slightly, and then she continued to drink her wine, her large eyes as clear as glass, staring unblinkingly at the man squatting in front of her

In another corner, a chilling low pressure lingered in the darkness, as a pair of slightly narrowed, enchanting amber eyes gazed unblinkingly at the white little angel crouching in the opposite corner. The gaze gradually softened imperceptibly, as if it had encountered some interesting and harmless little creature

The leader... Standing beside him, Ran Mo followed his gaze and his expression changed drastically, unable to hold back his words. That young girl is the number one free assassin in the Baroque Kingdom of the assassin group, code-named Peony. She only decides whether to kill or not, never whether she can kill. Although she appears weak and harmless, she is actually the most free person in the entire assassin world. It is rumored that she never makes promises; even if she has received a deposit, if she is in a bad mood, it is not impossible for her to refund it to you.

Unexpectedly, the leader encountered such a killing god right after returning to the country!

This man exudes an imperial aura, imparting a sense of oppressive authority without the need for anger. His amber eyes are sharp like those of an eagle. As he stands up, his impressive height of nearly 1.9 meters further evokes a feeling of being distant and unattainable.

A small white figure huddles in the corner, tiny hands cradling a cup filled to the brim with red wine, a straw inserted within, resting in a small cherry-like mouth. Bright, large eyes dart around incessantly, as if searching for something amidst the desolate crowd.

Tell me, why have you come here

As he moved forward, before he could approach, the people ahead could not help but look up and instinctively made way.

He continued, "This is not a place for you to come..."

Oh? The cold night made the flame-like eyebrows look even more appealing as she raised them slightly, gazing thoughtfully at Luonian. Her skin was fair and delicate, subtly revealing the youthful blush of a girl. Her beautiful oval face featured exquisite features, with large almond-shaped eyes that were pure black like glass, a small nose with a hint of adorable pink, and a tiny pink mouth pouting as she sipped red wine from her cup. Her waist-length wine-red hair cascaded over her small shoulders. She had a petite frame and small bone structure; if she hadn't claimed to be an adult, others would likely assume she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The night was cold, and Yan suddenly revealed a barely perceptible smile. His sharp eyes gradually softened as he gently crouched down, positioning himself in front of her, face to face.

Ye Han smiled, a light smile, yet it made those around who were secretly watching gasp in awe, it was simply too beautiful

Because of this, Luo Nian raised the empty wine glass in front of him, smiling beautifully, with two lovely blushes on her cheeks. "Thank you for treating me to such delicious wine. I will definitely come back to find you after I return the deposit to them. You must treat me to such delicious wine again."

Yes

Hehe... why? Night Han Yan chuckled softly, looking at her eyes that were so clear they evoked a sense of protectiveness and a desire to destroy. Night Han Yan couldn't help but lower his guard.

Under the neon lights, in a bustling top-tier bar.

You. "In the falling years, you still only care about drinking. Until there was only a small layer of wine left in your hand, you finally looked at Ye Hanyan. On your exquisitely expressionless face, the corners of your mouth slowly blossomed, revealing a beautiful and pure smile, "But I no longer want to kill you."

"Who to kill?" Ye Hanyan narrowed his enchanting amber-colored phoenix eyes, yet his tone inexplicably softened.

"I am eighteen years old." means that she has reached adulthood

This woman

The night is cold and the flames flicker. Luo Nian still appears as if he is solely focused on the fine wine in his hands.

Little sister

Ran Mo stood not far away, astonished and speechless, having been interrupted twice! The leader's speech was interrupted twice! Yet, he seemed not the least bit angry, appearing to be in a very good mood!

"Wait a moment." Ye Hanyan's large hand grasped her small, tender hand, causing his heart to suddenly race, as if something had abruptly surged from her fingertips into his body, directly striking his heart. However, years of cultivation allowed him to regain his composure in an instant. He released the little one's hand, and with a snap of his fingers, a glass of bright red wine was brought over.

A glance, so piercing that it sends shivers down one's spine, caused Ran Mo to turn pale instantly, silencing him.

Hehe... alright. Unknowingly, his smile grew wider, reaching deep into his eyes. It had been a long time since I had seen such an interesting little fellow.

"Dyeing ink." The smile faded, and the warmth of the surrounding air instantly froze and disappeared

Ye Han Yan displayed a somewhat confused expression, her amber eyes narrowing dangerously as she once again positioned herself in front of him. This time, Luo Nian did not even spare him a glance and took a step to the side.

Do you know which one is Ye Hanyan? For the first time, he patiently wasted so much breath talking to a child, even he was surprised at how good-tempered he was today

Thank you. After staring at the night cold flame for a while, Mudan finally extended her hands to present her two oversized wine glasses, which she could not encircle with both hands. Luonian squatted down again, sucking on the straw that was resting on top, her small lips exuding a uniquely deadly allure.

I want all of her information

"Well, I am leaving now, goodbye." She placed the empty wine glass into his hand, and Luo Nian waved her small hand at him. Her petite white figure instantly vanished amidst the crowd, leaving only the lingering fragrance of her presence in the air

"Murder." The beautiful large eyes slightly lowered, fixed motionlessly on the wine in her hand, occasionally curving into a satisfied and content arc, resembling two crescent moons, rippling with shimmering light, pure and innocent as if those two words had not just escaped her lips.
