Chapter 353 I'm Not Playing With You
A dozen or so dilapidated wooden puppets of various shapes and sizes jumped in through the window, almost completely filling the area under the windowsill.
Upon entering, they all turned their heads toward the bed, their empty eye sockets seemingly burning with a dark, greedy light.
They completely ignored Long Chuqing standing by the bed and stared intently at Princess Ruoyang sleeping on the bed.
"Get up...and play...!"
"Crunch...crunch...crunch..."
They uttered words intermittently while twisting their stiff joints, as if cheering excitedly; their movements were both comical and bizarre.
Seeing this, Long Chuqing narrowed his eyes slightly. If it was just a guess before, it was now basically certain that these puppets were after the princess.
Furthermore, these puppets didn't seem afraid of her at all, and even completely ignored her. They really were a bunch of wooden puppets, arrogant and disrespectful.
The word 'play' is derived from their awkward language.
Coming to visit Ruoyang? No way.
She is more convinced that the harm was carried out under the guise of play.
Thinking of this, Long Chuqing strode towards the puppets.
The puppets were also planning to move closer to the bed to wake up Ruoyang, who was fast asleep, so he could play with them.
"Kakaka..."
Noticing that Long Chuqing was making a move, they turned their gaze away from the bed and then collectively looked him over.
This person...isn't afraid of them?
Realizing the problem, their aura changed instantly, their movements shifted to an attack stance, and one could sense the vigilance emanating from their bodies.
Long Chuqing slowly squatted down in front of the puppets. She glanced down at all the puppets and then focused her gaze on the puppet with double buns at the front.
She smiled and said, "What do you want to play? I'll play with you... how about it?"
The double-bun puppet stared intently at Long Chuqing, its wooden eyes scrutinizing her and showing no sign of waning vigilance.
The person in front of it exuded a strong sense of oppression, making it feel very uncomfortable. It didn't like it. It tilted its head and thought for three seconds before speaking woodenly.
"Go away..."
"I...don't...play with...you..."
The puppets said in unison, "We won't... play with... you..."
His tone carried a hint of disdain and warning, and his wooden arm swung stiffly, as if to drive him away.
Long Chuqing: "..."
Fei Feng: "..."
Feng Yu: "..."
Hey... I wanted to infiltrate the enemy and extract some useful information so I could know them better, but I never expected to be rejected by a bunch of puppets.
They really are a bunch of blockheads; they have no taste whatsoever.
Long Chuqing sighed deeply and said regretfully, "Alas, what a pity. Since you don't want to play with me, then you should go back!"
Long Chu waved to them with a regretful expression, as if to say goodbye.
The double-bun puppet thought for a moment, then slowly raised its arm and pointed to Princess Luoyang sleeping on the bed.
"Play with...her"
"No, that won't work." Long Chuqing waved her index finger in front of her. "She's asleep. You can come find her to play during the day!"
The twin-bun puppet tilted its head and thought for a moment, then said sharply, "You...get out of here..."
"Get...out." The bearded puppet behind spoke, its voice rougher than the double-bun puppet's, but with its full beard, it had a certain air of authority.
The puppet troupe shouted in unison, "Get...out..."
"I...don't...play with...you."
At this moment, one could hear a hint of urgency and hostility in their words, as if they resented Long Chuqing for blocking their way and getting in their way.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu immediately bristled and angrily said, "Whoa... what a bunch of ungrateful bastards, they're really pushing their luck! Qingqing, I told you we shouldn't give them a friendly face! A bunch of broken pieces of wood, just smash them to pieces and burn them as firewood, let's see how arrogant they are then."
Fei Feng agreed, "That's right, a bunch of broken and dirty things, and they're so ungrateful. Who wants to play with them? They can't be allowed to be so arrogant. A beating will teach them a lesson."
“They really gave them too much credit.” Long Chuqing took a deep breath and slowly stood up, supporting himself on his knees with his hands.
"Bang—thump-thump!!"
Caught off guard, the twin-haired puppet was kicked away by Long Chuqing, along with the two puppets standing behind it, flying towards the open window and falling into the dark alley.
I wonder if it was smashed to pieces.
Seeing their three companions suddenly kicked away, the remaining puppets were clearly stunned, their unresponsive minds briefly going blank.
"Bang—bang—bang"
"Get lost! You've come to disturb my peaceful sleep on this freezing day."
Before they could even react, Long Chuqing kicked them two or three times in one go, sending them flying without any hesitation.
The oil lamp on the table, without a lampshade, flickered in the strong wind, but it did not go out. After a few flickers, it slowly returned to stillness, as if nothing had happened.
Although she had driven the puppets out of the inn, Long Chuqing knew they weren't so easy to kill and would definitely come back after they came to their senses.
The puppets that were thrown away crashed to the ground and were smashed into pieces. Their limbs lay scattered on the ground, motionless, just like a toy that had been completely dismantled.
Suddenly, their lifeless eyes emitted a faint, eerie light, and the scattered bodies around them rapidly converged towards their heads, as if an invisible thread had pieced them back together.
After their bodies were pieced together, they stood up unsteadily, and the eerie aura emanating from them instantly erupted, creating invisible, strange ripples around them, ruffling their beards, hair, and tattered costumes.
Their previously sluggish bodies and movements suddenly became agile, "click, click, click," as if they were adapting to this brand-new body, which looked extremely bizarre.
Their empty eyes seemed to come alive, emitting a sinister green light. They all looked up at the dimly lit room on the second floor, at the open window, and at the figure standing by the window.
"Feifeng, you stay in the room to protect the princess," Long Chuqing instructed.
"Hmm." Fei Feng responded, then spread the golden light that had just blocked the princess's hearing until it completely covered her.
The phoenix feather hairpin in Long Chuqing's hand instantly transformed into a whip. She walked to the window and, sure enough, saw a faint green light flickering beneath the dark street, carrying with it a strong sense of resentment and killing intent.
Almost at the same time, the dozen or so puppets scattered around leaned forward slightly, half-squatting with their knees slightly bent.
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, they shot towards Long Chuqing on the second floor, like arrows released from a bow.
