Chapter 370: Blackened Junior Sister (75)
The alarm had officially confirmed that Jiang Wen Xiu was indeed one of the male protagonists in this world. And this same blaring alarm made Ruan Ruan panic. It was because Ruan Ruan did not want his master to fall into trouble, especially falling into the hands of the Lord God, and thus serving her soul to the Lord God in a silver platter.
"Ruan Ruan, shh…" Yue Ran communicated gently to her little system in her sea of consciousness in an attempt to calm him down. "The male protagonist is not dead."
Unfortunately. Yue Ran added silently to herself in her head.
"Phew…" Ruan Ruan heaved a deep sigh of relief when he saw the results of the abrupt confrontation.
At the same moment when one human and one system were communicating in a realm that no one knew of, Cheng Mo, the man in a gentle green, who had prevented Yue Ran from murdering Jiang Wen Xiu, had thought that Yue Ran was frowning at the fact that she had failed at the one attempt to kill off Jiang Wen Xiu in a single blow.
On the other hand, Jiang Wen Xiu was panting heavily, the feeling of pain nearly overriding his senses. In addition, he was shaking, and the back of his robes quickly drenched in sweat while the front was wet with blood. His own blood, he seemed to realize in a daze.
The young man looked sideways, still in a state of shock, and saw that it was Cheng Mo who had saved his life in such a dire instant.
Jiang Wen Xiu's legs weakened in fear, dread, relief, and pain following his escape from a highly fatal situation. He collapsed helplessly to the ground, and his once gentle and reliable demeanor was long gone. He was immersed in the horror of death and was not able to come back to his senses for some time, as if his soul had been drained.
Death has just brushed by him.
On the contrary to Jiang Wen Xiu's behavior, Cheng Mo held a sharp look in his eyes. Yue Ran appeared to have grown considerably stronger compared to her previous self. The rate at which she gained power was a hazardous factor that he must keep a close eye on.
"What is wrong with the alliance leader?" Yue Ran asked with a slight tilt of her head, her arms crossed, one lifted to rest on her face, displaying an indescribable charm. "Is it not worth it to exchange a single member of the Sky Breeze Sect for the entire population of this city?"
The voice of the young woman becomes low and tender.
"In any case, those disciples and elders of the Sky Breeze Sect are all filthy things," Yue Ran said. "If you throw them into the wild to feed the dogs, I am afraid that even dogs will not want to eat them, right?"
The young woman smiled, making her beautiful face look even more radiant under the halo of the moonlight. However, her words made people feel their blood running cold, and their hearts could not help but tremble with fright.
"What are your thoughts, Your Majesty?"
Yue Ran swept her gaze over to the emperor standing on the opulent ship, her charming face meeting his own again.
Although the young woman looked careless, Qiao Jie and Cheng Mo could tell that she had exceptional control over the whole scene. Although she was constantly on the move, seemingly having no worries at all, she had never placed herself in a blind spot for others to take advantage of.
"This is a matter of great importance," Yue Ran said as mirth appeared in her eyes when she turned her attention to the people still kneeling on the ground. "Why do you all not beg the emperor for mercy so that he may spare all of your lives?"
Yue Ran's voice was full of spiritual power that could infect people. As if sensing that something was amiss, Cheng Mo wanted to take immediate action but was interrupted by the snapping of Yue Ran's fingers.
After Yue Ran snapped her fingers, a wretched man not far away instantly exploded, creating a spectacular red firework display or confetti of blood, and the remains of his corpse plummeted to the ground following the pull of gravity.
"He is dead!!!"
Cries of fear rang out. The place descended into an orderly chaos like an unpause button had just been pressed. The crowd eventually began to realize what had transpired, and terror swept over them.
This tragedy was followed by countless screams around, which caused everyone to feel especially anxious and could not help but panic. Yet none of them dared to move from their positions.
When and how did the evil witch control the people in the city?! They were careless. They were all so careless! How could she be so cunning and strategic? How and when did she prepare all of these?!
At this time, those who were splattered with blood and had witnessed such a terrible scene were no longer able to contain their fear. The threat of death was so close at hand that it made them feel very terrified.
Very soon, some people began to cry for mercy, begging the people of Sky Breeze Sect to die instead so that the citizens of the entire city could survive in their stead.
Qing Xi's heart was pounding rapidly. The current scenario was no longer something she could interfere with. Let alone figure out a way to gain the affection of Jiang Wen Xiu and the other strategy targets. This mission was clearly no longer a matter of strategizing on how to win the love of men and work with them to go against the female lead.
Qing Xi first believed that she was still going to snatch men from Yue Ran after the change in the level of the mission world. However, she did not expect to...
