Will the Villainous Lady Face Retribution from the Second Playthrough’s Protagonist?

When the sea of fire first arose, Zhang Shengkang wanted to grab his daughter and run, but as he reached out, he suddenly lost control of his body and fell back into the driver’s seat.

Only his neck and above could move, as if paralyzed.

“What have you done?!”

“Nothing, far less than what you did to my family,” Bai Ling said coolly, “At least, not yet.”

Though he had lost control of his body, Zhang Shengkang felt a chill down his spine: “How do you know…”

“Knowing is knowing, no one cares how,” Bai Ling said dismissively, “Better focus on what’s happening inside. Let’s see how those you pinned your hopes on will perform.”

The situation inside was clearly not ideal. The hastily formed team of three was almost at the point of hurling insults at each other.

“It’s a water system ability user! And of a high level and purity!” The hot-tempered Fire Fox was the first to lose patience, “Damn it, who said it was a mental system user!”

At this point, Hazy weakly said, “Um, I think she might not be the target… I’ve seen the photo, the target didn’t have such a good figure.”

The proud pair of white rabbits was eye-catching even through the rain curtain.

Fire Fox was slightly stunned, looked over carefully, and realized it was true.

“Then she’s even more deserving of death! To not know there was such a strong water system user by the target’s side!”

“Fire Fox, you… lower your voice,” Wind Chime trembled in the voice chat, “She’s coming.”

No need for mental detection, it was visible to the naked eye.

“So what if she’s coming, fire doesn’t necessarily fear water.”

Fire Fox flipped back his raincoat hood and leaped out, the high temperature of his body evaporating the raindrops falling on him.

The busty beauty of unknown origin stood quietly about ten meters away. Seeing him jump out, she cutely tilted her head:

“What, discussing me?”

Fire Fox didn’t reply, instead pouring all his strength into forming a fire beast. The sizzling sound of burning was like a beast’s roar as it charged towards Yuan Xiaoning.

Even in the unfavorable rainy weather, the fire beast forcefully carved out a scorched path, turning all raindrops into steam.

Returning the favor, Yuan Xiaoning also formed a water toad. Enhanced by the rain, it was as big as two people, hopping forward with a “ribbit ribbit” before opening its huge mouth—

Boom—!

The broken fire beast gradually dissipated in the heavy rain, and the water toad wasn’t much better off. It only had the advantage of the field weather, preventing it from dispersing immediately.

“Is that all,” Fire Fox caught his breath, feeling more confident, “Wind Chime, Hazy, come out and help me pin her down. If I can do this a few more times, she won’t be able to hold out.”

“Fi-Fire Fox.” Wind Chime’s voice stammered in the communication.

“What now? What other problem?”

Just as Fire Fox was about to lose his temper, he heard his teammate say, “Look beside you, there are… several more…”

Water Skylark Transformation: birds and beasts living in the rain. Including the large toad from earlier, there were five water elemental constructs in total.

Fire Fox’s expression changed.

From the moment they accepted the mission until now, this was the first time he had thoughts of fleeing.

“You people are truly wicked, killing without grudge or enmity, just for money.”

Yuan Xiaoning stood in the rain, hands on her hips, chest thrust out, full of imposing manner, pointing at them:

“Haven’t you ever thought about how much harm you’d cause to others if you succeeded!”

It’s all your fault, always hunting Bai Ling in the previous life, even breaking her fingers. Now look what’s happened, she’s turned to the dark side, and I’m the one suffering.

“But it’s okay, take this attack, and I’ll forgive you.”

The busty young woman waved her small hand, and the five water elemental constructs surrounded the three people, rapidly expanding under the nourishment of the rain—

“Sacrificial Explosion!”

Wind Chime was the first to sense the danger, shouting, “Quick, dodge!”

Bang—!!

High-pressure water streams spread outward in arcs like blades, cutting the large trees on the hill in half, which fell with loud thuds.

Along with the trees, the upper half of a gloomy man’s body also fell, blood spurting from the cut at his waist.

Hazy wasn’t the weakest in the team, but he lacked Wind Chime’s ability to sense danger and couldn’t use his ability to resist for a couple of seconds like Fire Fox to buy time to dodge.

“Tch…”

Yuan Xiaoning hadn’t expected such a bloody scene and quickly raised her small hand. With Bai Ling not by her side, Ning Ning had to learn to cover her own eyes.

Regardless, the remaining two had also lost their ability to act, so the mission could be considered accomplished. As for the unfortunate one who died, they had come to kill her and Bai Ling in the first place. There was no help for it; hopefully, he wouldn’t reincarnate as a villain in his next life.

Even if he did become a villain again, he should learn from her, using wisdom to complete tasks instead of being a traditional villain.

Yuan Xiaoning clapped her hands, preparing to go find Bai Ling, but as she turned around, she saw a man in a gray cloak standing before her.

“Surprising,” he said in a hoarse voice, “When did Tianhai City acquire someone of your caliber?”

“…About last week?” Yuan Xiaoning answered instinctively.

Ning Ning is a good girl, always answering when asked.

“It doesn’t matter. Originally, the plan was to eliminate threats.”

The gray-cloaked man muttered to himself, then raised his hand, his palm reflecting light like a silver knife.

Danger!

Yuan Xiaoning didn’t think much, nor did she consider whether to exchange a few moves. She directly cried out in a delicate voice:

“Bai Ling, save me! Save save save save save save save!”

The gray-cloaked man’s hand knife didn’t come down. In fact, the moment Yuan Xiaoning called out Bai Ling’s name, he couldn’t move.

The air seemed to have turned into a gel-like substance. He felt like an ant trapped in amber, barely able to move, but any movement was as good as no movement at all.

Bai Ling walked to the tombstone from earlier, followed by the Zhang father and daughter, who moved like marionettes.

“Finally flushed you out,” she said, “Gray-furred rat.”

The gray-cloaked man gritted his teeth. His experience far exceeded that of the temporary team, and he could roughly guess the reason for the current situation.

The white-haired girl before him had filled the air in this space with her telekinetic force.

“You’re not just Level 3.”

“Isn’t that obvious!”

Before Bai Ling could speak, the overly beautiful blonde busty girl huffed, “I’m already at the peak of Level 3, how could she possibly be just Level 3 or Level 4? Are you stupid or what?”

Yuan Xiaoning was angry. What was this person thinking? If the surname Bai wasn’t two major levels ahead, would she be using mugwort every day?

At least with enough strength to resist, she could negotiate for once every two days or something.

Hearing the blonde busty girl’s joking words, the gray-cloaked man broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, not just Level 3… not even just Level 4.

How is this possible! How could Tianhai City…

“Shh, you wait a moment.”

Bai Ling gestured to leave him there and turned to look at the Zhang father and daughter: “Let’s chat about these two first.”

She snapped her fingers—still not very loud—releasing her control over the Zhang family. The two immediately collapsed onto the muddy ground.

“Xiao Ling, niece, please have mercy. It’s all uncle’s fault for being foolish,” Zhang Shengkang immediately said, “It was this person who found us, threatening me to do it. Your parents and I were as close as siblings…”

Splash! A basin of clean water was poured on his face.

“Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting,” Yuan Xiaoning crossed her arms, “I’m just a young girl, I’m dying of embarrassment listening to this!”
