A year of trials had sharpened Xiao Yufan’s sensitivity to killing intent, making him increasingly perceptive. From the brief flash of murderous aura just now, he deduced that the visitor was likely an enemy rather than a friend…
“Sir, your night snack is ready. Please open the door!”
A slightly muffled voice came through the door. Obviously, the voice had been deliberately altered, but one could still tell it belonged to a woman.
“It seems we didn’t order any night snack. This hotel is really considerate to provide complimentary midnight meals for its guests!”
Xiao Yufan opened the door, a sinister curve forming on his lips. With his strength, he naturally had no fear of any assassin. He felt no concern at all—should this person dare to attack, he would ensure she never left this room.
As Xiao Yufan reached to take the tray, a dagger hidden beneath it suddenly appeared, and the figure wielding it lunged straight at him.
He turned, effortlessly evading the sharp strike. Xiao Yufan noticed that although her attack was fierce, it lacked the intent to kill. His expression shifted to one of amusement. Why would an unprovoked assassin appear? Was she playing with him?
Quietly closing the door behind him, Xiao Yufan ensured Jiang Rou wouldn’t witness what was happening outside…
As Xiao Yufan hesitated, the assassin moved again. The dagger traced a smooth curve through the air as she silently appeared behind him.
Yet before she could strike, Xiao Yufan’s hand had already reached out, gripping her wrist first. The speed caused her brows to subtly furrow. This man truly was stronger than she had imagined—truly worthy of being a man from the Situ family…
But how could she accept being outmatched so easily? Suddenly, a hidden mechanism within the jade bracelet on her wrist activated. Xiao Yufan immediately withdrew his hand. She was an assassin, and every part of her body was a weapon.
Xiao Yufan had underestimated this point. He found himself suddenly intrigued by this woman. Her strength was unquestionably no less than Tian Xuan’s—perhaps even greater. Such a female assassin was rare indeed.
“You’ve successfully sparked my curiosity. So today, I’m definitely removing your veil…”
Xiao Yufan smiled slightly, completely unfazed by the situation. Rather than feeling anxious, he was actually enjoying the moment. Not because he was perverse, but because he clearly sensed that this woman could neither harm him nor truly intended to.
“If you can remove my veil, I’ll become your woman. How about that?”
Her voice remained muted, yet now it carried a hint of liveliness, making Xiao Yufan feel somewhat surreal. Was this really an assassin?
“If you turn out to be ugly, making you my woman would be a huge loss. I think I need to think about it first.”
A year of experience had sharpened Xiao Yufan’s perception of that murderous intent. From the fleeting aura of hostility just now, it was clear that the newcomer was an enemy, not a friend…
“Sir, your midnight snack is ready. Could you please open the door?”
A somewhat muffled voice came through, clearly altered on purpose, but it was still discernible that it belonged to a woman.
“It seems we didn’t order any midnight snack. This hotel is quite considerate, actually delivering snacks to its guests!”
Xiao Yufan opened the door, a cold smile curling on his lips. With his strength, he naturally had no fear of any assassin, so he wasn’t the least bit worried. If this person dared to make a move, he would definitely keep her here.
Just as Xiao Yufan took the tray, the dagger hidden beneath it was revealed, and the person holding it thrust it straight toward him.
Turning around, Xiao Yufan gracefully dodged the fierce strike. He noticed that although this person’s attack was ruthless, it didn’t seem aimed at taking his life. His expression turned playful. A killer appearing out of nowhere—was she just playing around with him?
Gently closing the door, Xiao Yufan didn’t want Jiang Rou to see what was happening outside…
While Xiao Yufan hesitated, the assassin moved again. The dagger traced a smooth arc as she quietly appeared behind him.
But before she could strike, Xiao Yufan’s hand had already reached out, moving so fast that her brow furrowed slightly. This man was indeed much stronger than she had imagined, truly worthy of being a man from the Situ family…
Yet, how could she be willing to show weakness? The mechanism on the jade bracelet on her wrist suddenly activated, forcing Xiao Yufan to withdraw his hand. She was an assassin, and every part of her body was a weapon.
Xiao Yufan had overlooked this. He suddenly found this woman intriguing. Her strength was definitely not inferior to Tianxuan, perhaps even surpassing it. Such a killer was rare, especially a woman.
“You’ve successfully piqued my curiosity, so today I must remove your veil…”
A smile appeared on Xiao Yufan’s face, showing no trace of panic in this situation. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying the process. It wasn’t that he was twisted, but he knew this woman couldn’t harm him, nor did she seem intent on doing so.
“If you remove my veil, I’ll be your woman. How about that…”
The voice was still muffled, but this time it carried a hint of liveliness, giving Xiao Yufan a surreal feeling. Was this really an assassin?
“If you’re ugly, wouldn’t I be at a loss by making you my woman? So I’ll think about it first!”
“Pervert, scoundrel!”
Her voice carried a touch of anger. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, her emotions clearly fluctuated, but it gave Xiao Yufan an oddly familiar feeling. Before he could react, the woman moved again.
This time, Xiao Yufan clearly felt her attack was more cunning, likely due to his earlier teasing, which had provoked her…
Looking at her graceful figure, Xiao Yufan suddenly thought of someone—Dongfang Yanran. But the thought was fleeting. How could Dongfang Yanran be an assassin, and such a formidable one at that?
Regardless, he had to remove this woman’s veil. Not only was he curious about a killer of such strength being a woman, but her provocative words alone were enough to stir his desire.
Moving lightly, Xiao Yufan’s goal was simple: to remove the woman’s veil. For him, it was as easy as flipping his hand…
Earlier, he hadn’t used his full strength, merely testing her. But now, it seemed unnecessary. Though she was strong, she was facing Xiao Yufan.
“Aren’t you afraid I might actually kill you? You still have the leisure to hold back…”
As Xiao Yufan suddenly exerted his strength, he noticed her brows furrow slightly, realizing that he had just been toying with her. She was momentarily frustrated—this man was indeed too strong.
“When the Shadow Dragon appears, the heavens and earth tremble. Without the Phoenix, who can contend? I never expected the Phoenix from the Asian Assassin Rankings to appear here!”
After these words, Xiao Yufan’s voice came again, this time tinged with surprise. If he hadn’t accidentally noticed the phoenix tattoo on her wrist, he might not have guessed who she was…
“How did you…”
Clearly, Xiao Yufan had hit the mark. The woman was momentarily stunned, but in the next moment, she realized she had been tricked. Her veil fluttered down, revealing her stunning face.
“It’s you!” Surprise and a strange expression crossed Xiao Yufan’s face. Although he had some doubts earlier, seeing her now still left him in awe.
“Why can’t it be me…”
The person was indeed Dongfang Yanran, but she appeared before Xiao Yufan in a different identity—the Phoenix of the Shadow, the second-ranked assassin on the Asian Assassin Rankings. This woman was a formidable figure at the pinnacle.
“So the Phoenix is a woman, and such a beautiful one at that. No wonder you’re so eager to be my woman…”
Dongfang Yanran now gave Xiao Yufan a different kind of beauty, a wild allure that made him want to claim her for the first time. But now, he had more important matters to attend to.
“Little brother, if I become your woman, I can fully protect you, so you won’t have to worry anymore!”
Though Dongfang Yanran was momentarily stunned that Xiao Yufan had so easily removed her veil, she quickly adjusted. The Phoenix of the Shadow—this might be the second time she had failed, and both times at the hands of the Situ family…
“You protect me? Do you think I still need protection?”
Xiao Yufan retorted casually. He admitted that Dongfang Yanran was indeed strong, even surpassing his expectations, but such strength wasn’t particularly outstanding to him…
“If you make me your woman, I’ll tell you who wanted me to act against you. I think you’d really want to know that, right?”
Clearly, Dongfang Yanran had anticipated Xiao Yufan’s response, so she quickly followed up. She believed Xiao Yufan would be very eager to know who had sent her…
Her voice now carried a hint of anger. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, her emotions clearly fluctuated, yet they felt oddly familiar to him. Before he could process this, the woman had already moved again.
This time, Xiao Yufan clearly sensed her attacks had become even more cunning, likely due to his earlier teasing provoking her slight anger…
As he watched her graceful figure, a sudden thought crossed his mind—Dongfang Yanran. But the thought vanished just as quickly. How could Dongfang Yanran possibly be an assassin, let alone one of such formidable strength?
Regardless, he was determined to remove this woman’s veil. Not only was he curious about such a powerful female assassin, but her provocative words alone were enough to stir his desire.
Moving lightly, Xiao Yufan had a simple goal: to remove this woman’s veil. For him, it was as easy as pie.
Earlier, he hadn’t used his full strength, merely testing her abilities. But now, it seemed unnecessary. Although she was strong, she was facing Xiao Yufan.
“Are you not afraid I might actually kill you? Yet you still have the leisure to hide your strength…”
When Xiao Yufan suddenly increased his pressure, he clearly saw the woman’s brows slightly furrow. She realized he had merely been toying with her before, instantly feeling a surge of frustration. This man was just too strong.
After a year of training, Xiao Yufan’s perception of that killing intent had become even more acute. From the fleeting murderous aura just now, it seemed the newcomer was more foe than friend…
“Sir, your midnight snack is ready. Could you please open the door?”
A somewhat muffled voice came through, clearly altered on purpose, yet it was still discernible as a woman’s voice.
“It seems we didn’t order any midnight snack. This hotel is quite considerate, actually delivering snacks to guests!”
Xiao Yufan opened the door, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. With his strength, he naturally had no fear of any assassin, so he wasn’t the least bit worried. If this person dared to make a move, he would definitely keep her here.
Just as Xiao Yufan took the tray, the dagger hidden beneath it was revealed, and the person holding it thrust it straight towards him.
Turning around, he gracefully dodged the sharp attack. Xiao Yufan noticed that although this person’s strike was fierce, it wasn’t aimed at taking his life. His expression turned playful—why would an assassin appear out of nowhere, as if just playing around?
Gently closing the door, Xiao Yufan didn’t want Jiang Rou to see what was happening outside…
While Xiao Yufan hesitated, the assassin moved again, the dagger tracing a smooth arc as she quietly appeared behind him.
But before she could strike, Xiao Yufan’s hand had already reached out, his speed so fast that her brow furrowed slightly. This man was indeed much stronger than she had imagined, truly worthy of being a man from the Situ family…

“You’ve successfully piqued my curiosity, so today I must remove your veil…”
A smile spread across Xiao Yufan’s face, showing no trace of panic in this situation. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying the process. It wasn’t that he was twisted, but he knew this woman couldn’t harm him, nor did she seem intent on doing so.
“If you remove my veil, I’ll be your woman. How about that…”
The voice was still muffled, but this time it carried a hint of liveliness, giving Xiao Yufan a sudden sense of unreality. Was this really an assassin?
“If you’re ugly, wouldn’t I be at a loss making you my woman? So I’ll think about it first!”
“Pervert, scoundrel!”
Her voice carried a hint of anger. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, her emotions clearly fluctuated, but it gave Xiao Yufan an oddly familiar feeling. Before he could react, the woman moved again.
This time, Xiao Yufan clearly felt her attack was more cunning, likely due to his earlier teasing, which had provoked her…
Looking at her graceful figure, Xiao Yufan’s mind suddenly flashed with the image of someone—Dongfang Yanran. But the thought vanished as quickly as it came. How could Dongfang Yanran be an assassin, and such a formidable one at that?
Regardless, he had to remove this woman’s veil. Not only was he curious about a female assassin of such strength, but her provocative words alone were enough to stir his desire.
With light steps, Xiao Yufan’s goal was simple: to remove the woman’s veil. And for him, it was as easy as turning his hand…
Earlier, he hadn’t used his full strength, merely testing her. But now, it seemed unnecessary. Although she was strong, she was facing Xiao Yufan.
“Aren’t you afraid I might really kill you? You still have the mood to hold back…”
As Xiao Yufan suddenly exerted his strength, he noticed her brow furrow slightly, clearly realizing that he had just been toying with her. She was momentarily frustrated—this man was simply too strong.
“The Shadow Dragon emerges, shaking the heavens and earth. Without the Phoenix, who dares to contend? I never thought the Phoenix from the Asian Assassin Rankings would appear here!”
After these words, Xiao Yufan’s voice came again, this time tinged with surprise. If he hadn’t accidentally noticed the phoenix tattoo on her wrist, he might not have guessed who she was…
“How did you…”
Clearly, Xiao Yufan had hit the mark. The woman was momentarily stunned, but in the next moment, she realized she had been tricked. The veil fluttered down, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty.
“It’s you!” Surprise and a strange expression crossed Xiao Yufan’s face. Although he had suspected earlier, seeing the woman still left him astonished.
“Why can’t it be me…”
The newcomer was indeed Dongfang Yanran, but she appeared before Xiao Yufan under a different identity—the Phoenix of the Shadow, ranked second on the Asian Assassin Rankings. This woman was a formidable figure standing at the pinnacle.
“So the Phoenix is a woman, and such a stunning beauty at that. No wonder you’re so eager to be my woman…”
Dongfang Yanran now exuded a wild beauty that Xiao Yufan found alluring, making him want to claim her for the first time. But now, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
“Little brother, if I become your woman, I can fully protect you, so you won’t have to worry anymore!”
Although Dongfang Yanran was momentarily stunned that Xiao Yufan had so easily removed her veil, she quickly adjusted. The Phoenix of the Shadow—this might be the second time she had failed, both times at the hands of the Situ family…
“You protect me? Do you think I still need protection?”
Xiao Yufan retorted casually. He admitted that Dongfang Yanran was indeed strong, even beyond his expectations, but such strength wasn’t particularly outstanding to him…
“If you make me your woman, I’ll tell you who wanted me to act against you. I think you’d really want to know that, right?”
Clearly, Dongfang Yanran had anticipated Xiao Yufan’s response, so she seamlessly continued after his words. She believed Xiao Yufan would be very eager to know who had sent her…
After speaking, Xiao Yufan’s voice sounded again, this time with a note of surprise. If he hadn’t noticed the phoenix tattoo on her wrist just now, he might not have recognized who she really was.
“How did you…”
Clearly struck by his words, the woman hesitated, but in the next moment, she realized she had been tricked. Her veil drifted down, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
“It’s you!” Surprise and bewilderment filled his expression. Although Xiao Yufan had his suspicions, seeing her face still shocked him.
“Why not me?”
The person who entered was indeed Dongfang Yanran, but she appeared before Xiao Yufan under a different identity—the Phoenix of the Shadow Phoenix, ranked second on Asia’s assassin list. She was a formidable figure standing at the peak.
“So the Phoenix is not only a woman, but such a stunning beauty. No wonder you’re so eager to become my woman…”
The current Dongfang Yanran gave Xiao Yufan a strange sense of allure, a wild charm that made him, for the first time, desire to claim her as his own. However, he had more important matters to attend to now.
“Little brother, if I become your woman, I can protect you completely. Then you wouldn’t have to worry anymore.”
Though slightly taken aback that Xiao Yufan had so easily removed her veil, Dongfang Yanran quickly regained her composure. The Shadow Phoenix—this might be only the second time she had failed, and both times had been at the hands of the Situ family…
“Protect me? Do you really think I need protection?”
Xiao Yufan replied casually. He acknowledged Dongfang Yanran’s strength, which even surpassed his expectations, but to him, it wasn’t particularly impressive.
“Well then, if you let me be your woman, I’ll tell you who ordered me to come after you. I think you must be very eager to know that, right?”
Clearly anticipating Xiao Yufan’s reaction, Dongfang Yanran smoothly picked up where he left off. She was certain he must be extremely curious about who had sent her…
