Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Missy Lied to Me

Su Huiqing walked out of Madam Dugu’s courtyard. The casual smile on her face instantly disappeared, and her lowered eyes gradually deepened.

Lu Zhenzhen and Xiao Ba followed closely behind Su Huiqing, but something was wrong. Xiao Ba glared at her. “Miss Su, this is not the way back!”

“I did it on purpose.” Su Huiqing nodded.

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at Su Huiqing and felt that she was a little terrifying. “Miss Su… you… where are you going?”

Su Huiqing glanced sideways mildly. “Finding a place with no one around to silence them.”

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen and Xiao Ba instinctively stopped in their tracks, Su Huiqing stuffed her hands back into her pockets. “Don’t be afraid. I was joking.”

Xiao Ba said with a pale face, “Your jokes are quite scary.”

Su Huiqing brought Lu Zhenzhen and the rest to the beach beside the island. Su Huiqing smiled at Lu Zhenzhen. “Your hometown is on the island next door. Hmm, do you know how to row a boat?”

…

Half an hour later, a small boat used by the Dugu Family slowly sailed towards a small island not far away.

Su Huiqing put on a straw hat. It was a very ordinary straw hat, but it actually gave off a very noble feeling. She had bought it yesterday when she was shopping on the Dugu Family’s island. At this moment, she was sitting at the bow of the boat and leisurely fishing.

Xiao Ba was rowing the boat behind them. As a member of the island, he naturally knew how to row.

Lu Zhenzhen sat beside Su Huiqing and played a standalone game on her phone.

As Xiao Ba rowed the boat, he wondered what had turned Lu Zhenzhen into an internet addict.

At the same time, on a large ship not far away…

“Young Master Ivan, there’s an unknown boat ahead.” A guard said to the brown-haired man in front of him.

“An unknown boat?” The brown-haired man narrowed his eyes. “There are actually boats at sea at this time? This boat shouldn’t be simple. Get someone to pay close attention and see their movements.”

The guard’s lips twitched.

“What?” Ivan glanced at the guard.

The guard lowered his eyes. “Those people… seem to be here to fish. From the ship’s logo, they should be from some aristocrat on the island ahead.”

“Then, don’t bother. Have you contacted the team?” Ivan retracted his gaze.

Upon hearing this, the guard became serious. “I have contacted him. Master Yu said that he will get Mr. Chief Detective and the rest over.”

Ivan nodded and was about to turn and enter the ship.

At this moment, a huge wave rolled over not far away. The small boat swaying in the huge wave seemed to be about to flip into the sea in the next second. His expression froze. “Dogsh*t! Drive over there. Save the people who are not afraid of death!”

“Ah, thank you. If not for you, our clothes would have been wet.” Seeing that a large ship was willing to save their small boat, Xiao Ba and Lu Zhenzhen were very grateful.

The guard beside Ivan: “…” Shouldn’t he be thanking them for saving their lives?

What the hell were they concerned about getting wet instead?

“Young Master, I think the movements of these three people are a little suspicious,” the guard said to Ivan.

The second guard also nodded.

Their first concern was not their own life, but their clothes?

They were from the First Main Brigade of the navy and had already received a report in the morning. However, because the enemies identified in the report were too terrifying, they had sought reinforcements. They never expected to meet Su Huiqing and the rest.

The people on the ship didn’t care about Su Huiqing and the rest. When Xiao Ba went to talk to them, their discussion came to an abrupt end as if they were afraid that Xiao Ba would hear them.

This made Xiao Ba very sad.

In the end, the large ship stopped by the island.

When Ivan and the rest alighted, they warned Su Huiqing and the rest. “No matter what happens, don’t get off the ship!”

Su Huiqing glanced at him and thanked him as she got off the boat. She raised the fishing rod in her hand and smiled. “I feel that there are many fish on the island.”

The guard glanced at Su Huiqing. This time, he finally included Su Huiqing in the group of spoiled brats.

Ivan glanced at Su Huiqing with a frown. However, he didn’t have time to say anything because a few people were rushing over from the island’s pier.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

Su Huiqing looked at the crowd in front and slowly kept her fishing rod.

Lu Zhenzhen’s expression changed when she saw the people running in that direction. “Dad, Chief!”

“Don’t go over. There’s something behind them.” Ivan grabbed Lu Zhenzhen with a serious expression. “Even if it’s your dad, you can’t go over. There are at least twenty people above the fifth level on this island. Don’t be impulsive. Let’s retreat first!”

Over the past few days, Su Huiqing had been subtly teaching Lu Zhenzhen knife skills. Her combat ability had obviously improved, but in terms of strength, she was still inferior to Ivan.

Su Huiqing brushed her hair as the cold glint in her eyes gradually faded.

Ivan glanced at Su Huiqing and frowned slightly. Her aura seemed to have changed slightly just now.

However, Lu Zhenzhen’s voice had already alarmed them. The things behind Chief Lu turned around and rushed in the direction of Ivan and the rest.

Ivan’s guards turned pale because their ship had also drifted away for some reason, and the chief detective and gang were not here yet.

The guard glanced at Su Huiqing and the rest. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so kind as to bring these three people along. Even if they are being supported by their families, they wouldn’t have been unable to differentiate this bit of danger, right?”

The other guards didn’t speak, including Ivan himself. He clearly saw that the group of people wrapped in black cloth didn’t leave any traces on the beach.

What kind of strength was this? At least fifth level!

It seemed that the report was not wrong, but because it was not wrong, it became more troublesome. Ivan’s fingers gradually tightened. It seemed that he had underestimated the situation here.

Su Huiqing stuck the fishing rod into the sand and glanced at Xiao Ba. “Watch them. I will be back soon.”

Xiao Ba nodded vehemently.

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s words, Ivan suddenly turned to look at Su Huiqing. Her face was calm, and even her expression was indifferent. The sand under her feet didn’t leave any footprints.

“How powerful is your Missy?” Ivan’s guard turned around and patted Xiao Ba on the shoulder as he spoke casually.

However, all his attention was on Xiao Ba’s reply.

Xiao Ba told Lu Zhenzhen not to be rash. Upon hearing this, he said very honestly, “She said that she only has the strength in the fifth level, but according to her combat ability, I think she should at least be mid-stage of the sixth level.”

How could someone who could instantly defeat Dugu Shuang and the rest be an ordinary fifth level?

Xiao Ba felt that Su Huiqing was definitely hiding something when she spoke about her capabilities.

The guard touched his face and turned his head. There was no change in their expressions, but their hearts were already surging, especially Ivan who had already picked up the weapon beside him. When he heard Xiao Ba’s words, he was instantly stunned. At least mid-stage sixth level? This joke was really not funny.

However, soon, Ivan and the rest realized that they were wrong.

Su Huiqing seemed to be walking at a leisurely pace, but she soon arrived at the group of mutants.

The group of mutants could only feel the change in temperature. Before Su Huiqing could make a move, they had already surrounded her. Su Huiqing didn’t want to touch such things with her hands. She took out the silver wire wrapped around her wrist and wrapped it around the neck of a mutant.

With a slight movement of her hand and extremely skilled movements, a mutant was crushed to death by her.

She shook her hand slightly, and that mutant was thrown aside like trash.

Even ordinary people could clearly tell the difference between her and those people.

“Young Master, I think I might not be awake today.” Ivan’s guard said.

The second guard nodded. “I can still hear her complaining that she couldn’t catch a fish on the boat. Third Brother, pinch me. I’m still alive… Damn, you really pinched me?!”

Xiao Ba also widened his eyes. “Missy lied to me indeed. She’s clearly almost at the seventh level!”

“Don’t be silly. Do you have water?” Su Huiqing took off the silver necklace and stuffed it back into her pocket.

Xiao Ba immediately took out a water bottle from his pocket and poured some water out for her to wash her hands.

After Lu Zhenzhen greeted Su Huiqing, she went to fetch her father and the chief.

Ivan also snapped out of his trance. He glanced at Su Huiqing with his dark eyes before taking a deep breath. “Miss, you should be from the Dugu Family, right?” At this point, he suddenly recalled. “May I ask if you are Miss Dugu Shuang?”

He had heard of Dugu Shuang.
