Chapter 151 You Aren't Even Better Than Me
Swish!
In an instant, everyone at the table turned their heads simultaneously and looked at the young woman.
The leading bald and chubby man felt his eyes light up the moment he saw her. He couldn't help but look her over a few times, taking in her flawless figure and exceptionally exquisite face, which gave him a very intoxicating feeling.
The bald man smiled wickedly and asked, "Babe, what did you mean by that just now? Could it be that you are also of our kind, and you want to kill Lin Feng?"
"Bah! Do you bunch of rotting fish and shrimp even deserve to be of the same kind as me?"
The young woman looked at them with utter disdain, chuckled lightly, and mocked with her head held high, "It's true that I want to kill Lin Feng, but I certainly wouldn't lower myself to associate with your kind. I, Wang Zuer, cannot afford to lose that kind of face."
"Wang Zuer? Why does that name sound so familiar?" The chubby bald man frowned upon hearing these three names.
A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered. His eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, "I remember now! Wang Zuer belongs to the Zhurong family, and she is one of the top ten assassins in the world!"
"What? The Zhurong family?"
In a split second, panic swept across the faces of everyone at the table.
The Zhurong family was rumored to kill using Zhurong talismans—one person, one talisman, capable of killing invisibly.
Their Zhurong talismans, used in conjunction with cinnabar, could be drawn in dozens of different variations. Whenever a talisman was displayed, a different lethal technique could be unleashed. They had carried out hundreds of hits and had never failed once.
Even if everyone at the present table pooled their strength together, they might not be a match for a single member of the Zhurong family.
"What, do you know how to be afraid now? Since you're scared, why aren't you getting lost?"
"Let me tell you, Lin Feng can only die by my hand alone. If anyone dares to lay a finger on him, I'll take your lives," Wang Zuer said coldly, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.
"Boss, I think this little girl might not necessarily be from the Zhurong family. She's probably just putting on a bluff," one of the subordinates said boldly, just as the chubby bald man was growing hesitant.
Fox Meiniang let out a cold snort and chimed in with fierce defiance, "That's right! I heard that the women of the Zhurong family are all hideously ugly. How could there be such a pretty girl?"
"She looks even better-looking than me; she definitely isn't from the Zhurong family."
"Hehe, you ugly hag, since you don't believe I am Wang Zuer, why don't you try me first?"
Wang Zuer finished speaking with contempt, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes as she assumed a combat stance.
Fox Meiniang was momentarily startled, but quickly mustered her courage, glanced at her dismissively, and said, "Fine then, let's see just how much capability a little girl like you actually has. Take this!"
As her voice trailed off, Fox Meiniang moved as swiftly as a fox, instantly appearing right in front of Wang Zuer and sweeping out with a fierce whip kick.
Wang Zuer remained calm and unruffled, nimbly and lightly side-stepping to dodge the attack. At the same time, she pressed her right middle and index fingers together and swiftly scooped up a pinch of cinnabar from a small pouch tied around her lower back.
Her hand movements were lightning-fast as she whipped up talismans in mid-air.
Everyone watched in utter shock as numerous strange characters materialized, all floating suspended in the air. Once she finished drawing them, she suddenly chanted an incantation, and the talisman transformed into a ball of raging fire, hurtling straight toward Fox Meiniang.
"A Zhurong Fire Talisman?"
Fox Meiniang recognized Wang Zuer's move instantly. A jolt of panic struck her heart, and she scrambled frantically to dodge in all directions. Yet no matter where she fled, the fire talisman pursued her relentlessly.
Wang Zuer merely stood in the distance, flicking her hands back and forth to manipulate the talisman, while the flames doggedly chased after Fox Meiniang.
By now, the customers dining in the restaurant were so terrified by the spectacle that they all scrambled to their feet and fled in panic.
Only Lin Feng remained seated in peace, leisurely watching the unfolding scene.
Barely a few seconds passed before Fox Meiniang failed to evade the fire talisman, and the clothes on her body caught fire, bursting into flames right then and there.
"Help! Someone save me, I'm going to burn to death!"
Fox Meiniang screamed in terror. Her companions looked on in panic, hastily grabbing water and splashing it onto her body.
However, they quickly realized that this kind of fire could not be extinguished with water; in fact, the more water they poured, the fiercer the flames grew.
Wang Zuer couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "The fire talismans of our Zhurong family cannot be put out with water, unless I stop manipulating them."
"Save me! Miss Wang, please spare my life! I know I was wrong, I beg you to let me go, I will never dare to offend you again!" Fox Meiniang wailed as she rolled back and forth on the ground, begging frantically for mercy.
Wang Zuer smiled disdainfully and ignored her, turning her gaze instead to the others. "What about you lot? Who else dares to defy my orders?"
"We wouldn't dare! We wouldn't dare anymore!"
Everyone shook their heads vigorously, terrified of being implicated.
Only then did Wang Zuer gently wave her hand. The fire talisman vanished instantly, and the flames on Fox Meiniang's body quickly died out.
"Get lost!"
With a roar from Wang Zuer, everyone scrambled to their feet in sheer terror and fled in disarray.
Watching their pathetic escape, Wang Zuer burst into hearty laughter, slapping the table repeatedly as she crowed, "Ha, you bunch of cowards! I only used a tiny little trick, and it actually scared you into this state."
"If any of you ever dare to provoke me again, I'll definitely take your lives."
With that, she turned around and saw that the restaurant was already completely empty, save for a man and a woman sitting quietly at a nearby table.
She immediately walked over with curiosity.
In the past, whenever she made a move, no matter where she was, the people around her would be scared out of their wits. So why were these two just sitting there without moving today?
"Hey, why aren't you two leaving? Aren't you afraid of my flames?" Wang Zuer walked up, fixing a serious gaze on Lin Feng and his companion as she asked.
By this time, although Lin Feng remained expressionless, Su Qingxue, sitting opposite him, had turned pale with fright.
She had been urging Lin Feng to leave just a moment ago, but he refused to budge. And now look—they had gone and caught the attention of the most dangerous woman here!
Lin Feng smiled faintly and said bluntly, "I heard you say you wanted to kill Lin Feng just now. As it happens, I know Lin Feng, and I even know where he is."
"What? You know Lin Feng?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zuer's expression instantly lit up with joy. She proactively sat down next to Lin Feng, draped an arm over his shoulder, and asked, "Tell me where he is! As long as you're willing to tell me, I'll reward you handsomely."
"Hey, let go of me first. Men and women should maintain a respectful distance from one another. Besides, getting this close to me right in front of my girlfriend is going to make her jealous."
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulder, shaking her arm off directly, and continued, "I advise you not to go looking for him after all. Because after witnessing your skills just now, I can tell you won't be able to beat him."
"What did you say? I can't beat Lin Feng? You've got to be kidding me!"
Wang Zuer's eyes widened instantly, and she asked with utmost urgency.
Lin Feng looked at her, deciding she actually possessed a certain charm—one that grew on you the longer you looked. Especially with that multicolored stripe across her exquisite face, which added an extra touch of allure to her appearance.
Her figure was also curvaceous, standing at a height of one meter seventy, no different from a professional model.
If one hadn't witnessed her attacking people with their own eyes, no one would ever have guessed she was an assassin.
Lin Feng's smile remained unchanging as he continued, "I'm telling the truth. I'm just a lowly grunt by Lin Feng's side, and you're not even as strong as I am. What makes you think you can fight him?"
