"You tricked me?"
Jiang Yi walked up to her, glaring at her fiercely. Judging from her expression, she was clearly doing it on purpose.
Was she deliberately trying to get him beaten up?
"Don't worry, she won't do anything to you. You're different."
Na Nali shrugged, her eyes carrying a strange meaning.
Jiang Yi possessed a special aura that made people feel inexplicably close, as if they were blood relatives.
If she and Leng Yulai weren't still virgins, she would have suspected Jiang Yi was her illegitimate son.
Otherwise, the identity of a Holy Son alone wouldn't be enough to bring them so close to Jiang Yi.
"Besides, she isn't your sister? What's wrong with showing some concern? You have to play the part."
Na Nali said, glancing towards the door, deliberately raising her voice.
A slight smile curved her lips. What seemed real could be real, and what seemed real could be fake.
Little Phoenix, I've done my best.
"You lost a sister, I found you a brother, the rest is up to you.
" "I'm going to sleep."
Na Nali got up and walked towards the door.
Just then, the door opened, and Leng Yulai walked in. She had changed her clothes and regained her usual aloof appearance.
"Ugh! So sleepy, going to sleep."
Na Nali pretended not to see Leng Yulai, exaggeratedly yawned, and quickly slipped away.
"Hmph!"
Leng Yulai glared at her back, determined to settle the score later.
"Hold out your hand."
Leng Yulai sat down in front of Jiang Yi, carrying a tray of medical supplies.
Jiang Yi glanced at Leng Yulai, seeing her serious expression, and obediently held out his hand.
Leng Yulai's gaze fell on Jiang Yi's right hand, noticing the deep nail marks, and her eyes softened slightly.
"Does it hurt?"
Leng Yulai dipped a cotton swab in medicine and gently applied it to the wound.
Jiang Yi blinked. It didn't hurt before, but now that you've applied the medicine, it hurts a little.
"It doesn't hurt!"
Jiang Yi shook his head sincerely.
In fact, with a Soul Master's physique, this wasn't even an injury; it would heal naturally in a few days.
But he wisely refrained from speaking out.
"Hmm!"
Leng Yulai responded softly, gently continuing to apply the medicine.
Silence fell between them again.
Soon, the bandaging was finished. Leng Yulai packed up her things, got up, and left, still without saying a word.
She stopped at the door.
"You heard everything?"
Leng Yulai asked, her back to Jiang Yi, without turning around.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi replied softly.
"Don't tell anyone. It's getting late, go to sleep."
Her tone remained calm, without the expected outburst.
"Okay!"
Jiang Yi nodded, but watching her departing figure, he spoke again as if struck by a sudden inspiration.
"Goodnight, sister!"
Leng Yulai's figure faltered slightly, a ripple appearing in her calm voice.
"Goodnight!"
...
In the early morning, dewdrops dripped from the tips of leaves, hitting the girl's face and waking her.
Leaning against the wall, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, her lifeless eyes opening to the empty house again.
Her parents were really gone, leaving her all alone…
Just as the girl was lost in thought, a series of heavy footsteps approached from afar.
Tang Wuling's empty eyes lit up for a moment, but upon recognizing the person, they fell silent again.
It was a strange bald man, not the couple she knew.
"Little sister! What's wrong?"
The bald man approached tentatively, a greasy smile on his face.
Tang Wuling seemed not to hear him, leaning against the wall like a walking corpse.
"Can't find your parents? Why don't you come home with me, and I'll help you find them?"
the bald man said with a grin, his eyes unable to stop roaming over her pretty face.
What a lucky day! To run into such a jerk first thing in the morning!
He had been squatting nearby for a while, piecing together the girl's situation from her mutterings. "
Homeless little girl! Uncle's here to help you!
" "Get lost."
Tang Wuling didn't even look at him, her voice low and hoarse, yet filled with cold disgust.
The grief in her heart hadn't completely destroyed her reason; the other man's gaze only made her nauseous.
"I'm a Soul Master, much better than you blindly searching, and my uncle is..."
The bald man's face revealed a hint of arrogance; in this small town, he was already considered a remarkable figure.
"Get lost!"
Tang Wuling lowered her head, her dark eyes faintly gleaming beneath her hair, her aura gradually becoming violent.
The events of the previous night had already accumulated countless resentments within her.
"You little bitch! Don't push your luck! I'm doing you a favor!" the bald man cursed, rolling up his sleeves, no longer concealing his filth.
Relying on his family connections, he could easily force himself on her; it's not like he hasn't done it before. He'd be out in a month or two.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
The bald man reached out to grab Tang Wuling.
But just as his fingertips were about to touch her—Tang Wuling suddenly looked up!
Her dark eyes had completely turned gold, her golden hair danced wildly without wind, and a near-tangible, violent killing intent swept around.
Low, furious dragon roars echoed in the air, shaking hearts to the core.
*Rip*—the sleeve on the girl's right arm ripped apart, revealing layers of sharp golden dragon scales growing on her arm, gleaming with a cold and savage light.
"You… what kind of monster are you!?"
The bald man's face paled in horror, and he turned to run away.
But the next instant,
golden light flashed, and the girl appeared before him like a ghost, saying nothing, only throwing a punch!
*Bang! *
The bald man flew backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily into the opposite courtyard wall, bricks and stones flying everywhere.
He coughed up blood, struggling to get up, only to meet a pair of golden eyes looking down at him.
In those eyes, there was no pity, only pure destructive desire.
"You...you stay away! My uncle works for the police..."the bald man roared at Tang Wuling, but his threatening words were cut short as a figure instantly flew into the sky.
Tang Wuling, her body shimmering with golden light, caught up with the figure in mid-air and slammed him even higher with another punch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening roars erupted on the street, each flash of golden light accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering.
The girl remained silent, simply slamming the bald man into the sky again and again, like a raging dragon, purely and cruelly venting her anger.
Finally, she leaped into the air, her figure silhouetted against the morning light, creating a dazzling and terrifying shadow, and then brought her foot down with a powerful kick.
With a deafening crash, the bald man plummeted to the ground like a meteorite, creating a massive crater.
Smoke and dust filled the air, leaving only a mangled mass of flesh at the bottom of the pit.
A passing man, witnessing this, dropped what he was holding.
Tang Wuling slowly turned her head, her golden eyes instantly locking onto him.
"Murder...murder!"the man screamed, scrambling away from the scene.
Only the girl remained, standing alone on the ravaged street, her golden hair flying wildly, like a tyrant descending.
...
Donghai City, Jiang Family Villa.
Jiang Yi got out of bed and ate the loving breakfast Leng Yulai had prepared for him in the living room. Life was truly good.
"How is it?"
Leng Yulai asked, resting her chin on her hand.
"Delicious!"
Jiang Yi nodded; the taste was indeed good.
He hadn't expected Leng Yulai, as a young lady, to be such a good cook.
"Then eat more."
Leng Yulai brought over several dishes from the side.
Compared to her sister's kitchen-destroying cooking skills, she was quite talented.
Leng Yulai looked at Jiang Yi, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Her sister seemed quite good too.
After breakfast, Jiang Yi was about to practice "A Thousand Points at Me," having recently grasped the basics, when his soul-guided communicator suddenly rang.
Wu Changkong?
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow upon seeing the caller ID. This was a rare guest.
"Hello! Teacher Wu!"
Jiang Yi answered the call, and Wu Changkong's voice quickly came through, as calm as ever.
"Are you free now? Come to Aolai City; travel expenses will be reimbursed."
