After having breakfast, Shang Ruoyi's eyelids kept twitching non - stop.

  He Yunyi saw her constantly rubbing her eyes and stepped forward to ask, "Sister - in - law, is there something wrong with your eyes?"

  "Not really. They just keep twitching."

  "Mother always says that an eye twitch means there's money coming." He Yunyi spread out her palm and smiled. "Here comes the fortune." In her palm was a jade pendant.

  "What are you doing?"

  He Yunyi handed the jade pendant to her. "There might not be enough money for building the house, right? This is the only thing I brought out. Mother said it was given to me by my elder brother when I was born. I've always worn it. In this situation, we can pawn this jade pendant."

  Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This jade pendant is of high quality. It's clearly top - grade suet jade. You'd better keep it for yourself. There's still enough money for building the house."

  He Yunyi tried to persuade her several times, but seeing that Shang Ruoyi just wouldn't accept it, she had to give up. "Sister - in - law, if you need money, just come and tell me."

  Shang Ruoyi nodded. Just as she was about to say something more, suddenly, her eyes turned sharp, and her fierce gaze looked towards the dense forest.

  "Sister - in - law, what's wrong?" He Yunyi saw her face change suddenly and asked in confusion. "What happened?"

  "Go back! Hurry back to the room and don't come out. Tell mother and the others not to come out either!" Shang Ruoyi pushed her hard into the room. As a result, the jade pendant in her hand fell to the ground.

  Just as He Yunyi entered the room, the next moment, an arrow was shot at the place where she had just been standing.

  "The jade pendant!"

  "Don't come out!" Shang Ruoyi turned around and picked up the jade pendant.

  As soon as she finished speaking, several more arrows were shot over. Shang Ruoyi quickly dodged and narrowly avoided them.

  She hid behind the only pillar in the courtyard and looked at the arrows on the ground. A scalpel appeared in her hand. The range of the silver needles was very short, only suitable for dealing with close - range enemies. She didn't have any other handy weapons. At the moment, she could only use the scalpel for self - defense.

  Just then, that mechanical voice sounded again in her mind: "The space is upgrading."

  Upgrading again?

  The appearance of the space emerged in front of her eyes once more. Beside the laboratory building, a house shaped like a warehouse appeared, with the words "Ancient Weapons" written on it.

  Weapons? This was really like getting a pillow just when one wanted to sleep.

  Her consciousness entered the weapons depot. Inside, there were all kinds of weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, battle - axes, hooks, and forks. On the shelves in the east, there were also bows and other hidden weapons.

  In her previous life, apart from guns, she was very proficient in cold - weapons and hidden weapons. She never expected that she would really use them now.

  She originally wanted to take out a long sword, but if He Jingheng found out, it would be very difficult to explain. So she chose a sleeve - arrow, which was very suitable for long - range attacks.

  With a flash of consciousness, the sleeve - arrow was worn on her wrist.

  At this time, a group of black - clothed people had appeared on the edge of the dense forest.

  As soon as He Yunyi entered the house, He Jingheng's figure appeared at the door.

  "What's going on?"

  He Yunyi gasped for breath and said, "There are assassins."

  He Jingheng's brows furrowed tightly. "Where's Shang Ruoyi?"

  "Sister - in - law didn't come in to help me pick up the jade pendant. She's trapped in the courtyard."

  What?

  He Jingheng walked to the window and looked out. There was a circle of black - clothed people standing around the dense forest.

  Several arrows were already stuck in the ground.

  Shang Ruoyi was standing behind the pillar, fiddling with something on her wrist.

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  Was that a sleeve - arrow?

  Where did this woman get so many things?

  "Jingheng, what should we do? Ruoyi is still outside." Lin said anxiously.

  "Yes! She's a delicate woman. How could she possibly fight against assassins? Think of a way quickly!" Qin was almost crying. "You say you lead troops to fight all day long and claim to be a war - god general. Where's the war - god? You can't even protect your own wife. You're just like your father, a deadbeat."

  He Jingheng didn't answer. His eyes were sharp as he looked outside. Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin said angrily, "Mother is talking to you. Did you hear me?"

  "I heard, I heard!" Just then, an arrow was shot towards the position where He Jingheng was standing. There was a flint tied to it. If this arrow landed on the thatched cottage, it would instantly turn into a sea of fire.

  He Jingheng's eyes turned slightly fierce. The internal force in his palm condensed. Just as he was about to make a move, a silver light flashed. A weapon he had never seen before hit the arrowhead. The arrow that was originally flying towards the thatched cottage was knocked to the ground.

  The next moment, flames flashed in the dense forest, and more than a dozen arrows flew towards the thatched cottage.

  Damn!

  Dozens of scalpels were shot out, but only most of the arrows were shot down. A small number of them slipped through the net. Just then, a very strong internal force appeared. The next moment, the arrows suddenly turned around and flew towards the dense forest.

  "Ah! It's on fire!" Several screams rang out. The flames flickered in the dense forest. Shang Ruoyi took the opportunity to roll on the ground and collect the arrows on the ground. She glanced in the direction of the thatched cottage, the corners of her lips curved up, and she stretched out her hand to throw those arrows into the air.

  He Jingheng raised his eyebrows. With a wave of his palm, powerful internal force gushed out. Those arrows flew towards the dense forest with a whooshing sound.

  Several more screams rang out. The black - clothed people didn't expect that a disabled person would be so difficult to deal with. And those hidden weapons that flew out from nowhere had shot down so many arrows. It seemed that there was a master helping them.

  "Boss, what should we do?" A black - clothed person said in a deep voice. "We didn't expect He Jingheng to be so powerful. Before we even confronted him, we've already lost so many brothers."

  "What to do? If we don't kill him, we'll be the ones to die. We must kill him today no matter what." The leading man looked at the bare courtyard and said coldly, "There are many female relatives in their exiled family. The master said that this time, besides killing him, his newly - wed wife can't be left alive either."

  "A woman is much easier to kill than him, boss. If we can't kill He Jingheng, we'll kill his wife to make up for it."

  The man nodded. It seemed that there was no other way.

  "Charge straight in. Kill anyone you see. Leave no one alive!"

  "Yes!"

  The black - clothed people held blades and rushed straight towards the courtyard.

  Shang Ruoyi stood behind the pillar, watching the black - clothed people getting closer. She threw out the pre - prepared medicine bag and at the same time, pressed the mechanism in her sleeve. A flying knife shot out and hit the medicine bag exactly. In an instant, white smoke spread out.

  The black - clothed people were not on guard. The smoke landed on their eyes, and immediately a burning pain came. Their eyes couldn't be opened at all.

  "Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"

  They were all throwing away their weapons and armor, rolling on the ground, covering their eyes.

  The intense pain made them wish they could dig out their eyes directly.

  Just now, they were shouting fiercely to kill, but now, even a few - year - old child could kill them.

  Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the leading black - clothed person took out a flare. A few breaths later, another group of people came and carried them away.
