The speaker was Bai Xiaoxiao.
This woman had always been sharp-tongued, and Gu Qianying had witnessed Bai Xiaoxiao say many unpleasant things to Bai Yulan on several occasions.
Gu Qianying had originally intended to retort a few words and let it go.
But not today.
Bai Xiaoxiao spoke like a beast, not a human, and her crimes deserved death.
She suddenly raised her head, her words icy, and looked at the person in front of her indifferently. "Bai Xiaoxiao, you just said you wanted to find someone to fight, didn't you? How dare you! Do you know who you've provoked?"
Bai Xiaoxiao, arrogant and overbearing, let out a sharp laugh. "Just a good-for-nothing. I'm just speaking the truth."
Gu Qianying snorted coldly, the power in her fingertips already condensed. She instantly moved forward. "The truth? What truth can come from your dog-like mouth? Are you deceiving yourself?"
"You foul creature."
Bai Xiaoxiao already hated Gu Qianying, and now being insulted again, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes as she pointed a roaring finger at Gu Qianying.
"Bitch, don't disgust me. I'm going to kill you today."
Bai Xuan and the others, eager to watch the show, retreated with mocking expressions.
Bai Yufeng's eyes flickered slightly as he silently moved towards Gu Qianying.
What was this person trying to do?
As Bai Xiaoxiao approached her, Gu Qianying's inner power erupted, and the silver needle in her fingertips transformed into a cold light that shot forward rapidly.
Bai Xiaoxiao, unable to dodge, felt her body falter as she spun frantically in the air.
These silver needles formed a formation, rapidly surrounding Bai Xiaoxiao and directly suppressing her power.
Gu Qianying stood lightly in mid-air.
For someone like Bai Xiaoxiao, who only had a mouth and no spiritual power, it was easy to deal with.
Her eyes held a cold glint as she approached Bai Xiaoxiao, speaking slowly, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was furious, gritting her teeth. "Let me go! You are just a lowly person, how dare you lay a hand on me."
Gu Qianying burst into laughter, lightly tapping her fingertips. "I'm sorry, someone as lowly as me can trap you here. What right do you have to speak? How embarrassing."
"Nonsense," Gu Qianying smiled leisurely, her voice pausing slightly. With a sidestep, she appeared before Bai Xiaoxiao.
She lightly lifted her finger and said leisurely, "Your face is very beautiful, but it's a pity you have such a foul mouth. What a shame!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's face showed a look of terror, her lips turning pale. She desperately tried to retreat.
Gu Qianying waved her finger, and the already narrow formation tightened around her, leaving only a small space.
Gu Qianying looked down from above, raising her palm high, her voice indifferent and merciless. "This is what you deserve."
With a crisp slap.
Bai Xiaoxiao's cries erupted. Her body faltered, and she knelt on the ground, a bright red handprint appearing on her cheek.
Gu Qianying continued forward, cold and merciless. "Just one slap isn't enough. You just told others to die. Two slaps are fitting for your status."
Another slap.
"Ah!"
Gu Qianying's palm landed on Bai Xiaoxiao's cheek again. This time, she secretly exerted force, directly causing Bai Xiaoxiao's fair face to be covered in blood, turning it into a swollen pig's head.
Gu Qianying smiled slightly, lightly lifting herself and slowly descending to return to Bai Yufeng's side.
Bai Yufeng cast a fleeting glance at Gu Qianying, remaining silent.
Bai Xiaoxiao's body, like driftwood, fell to the ground in a disheveled state. As she hit the ground, the sound of breaking bones suddenly rang out.
Bai Xuan and the others, witnessing this scene, showed shock.
They had initially thought Gu Qianying was merely a servant, not worth mentioning, and incapable of posing a threat to Bai Xiaoxiao.
But Bai Xiaoxiao's current state was no pretense.
This was truly Gu Qianying's doing.
Bai Xuan rushed forward, his eyes shadowed with fury, and exclaimed, "You audacious person! How dare you?"
Gu Qianying paid no mind, dusting off her hands indifferently. "You didn't stop me, so this is the result. Isn't this your own doing? What does it have to do with me?"
"You..."
Bai Xuan was enraged and could no longer tolerate it.
If even a dog by Bai Yufeng's side could insult him, how could he maintain his dignity in front of others?
He angrily stepped forward, intending to attack her.
Someone behind him stopped him. "Don't be impulsive. Bai Yufeng is a madman. Who knows what he'll do? Do you really want to stand against Bai Yufeng?"
Bai Xuan roared, "Shut up."
Gu Qianying said leisurely, "You don't dare, do you! How useless. I look down on you."
"Detestable."
As the two argued, Gu Qianying suddenly felt a surge of power from beneath her feet. It was like an earthquake, and the entire jungle began to shake.
Everyone's faces turned pale with fear, seemingly unaware of what was happening, as cries of alarm echoed.
"What's going on?"
"What is this thing?"
"Who knows."
Bai Xuan and the others sensed the approaching danger and quickly ran to the side, trying to escape the peril.
But unfortunately, the ground cracked open too quickly, catching everyone off guard.
In an instant, everyone was sucked into the vortex below.
"Ah!"
Gu Qianying, caught off guard, found herself in mid-air. Just as she was struggling, she felt someone grab her waist.
Bai Yufeng's cold voice reached her again. "Don't move, it's dangerous over there."
Gu Qianying looked ahead and saw Bai Yulan floating and falling downwards.
She cried out in alarm and quickly reached out, pulling him up.
Bai Yulan cried out in fear, "What is this thing?"
Gu Qianying replied helplessly, "I don't know either."
Under Bai Yufeng's protection, the three of them landed safely below.
This was a dark cave, very quiet, but amidst the silence, the sound of dripping water could be heard.
As this space expanded, a sense of dread filled the air.
Bai Yulan cowered in front of Gu Qianying, worried. "This place looks so terrifying. I can't see anything."
Gu Qianying waved her hand forward, touching nothing but emptiness. To protect herself, she dared not move forward.
Bai Xiaoxiao and the others also landed not far away. Without protection, they scrambled around, sustaining multiple injuries and several bloodstains on their clothes.
They scrambled to their feet and, seeing the dark surroundings, gasped.
Unable to see anything, they took out their flint and blew on it fiercely.
The light from the flint illuminated the area, finally bringing them some clarity.
With this light, Gu Qianying saw the entire cave.
The cave walls were deeply grooved, and there seemed to be a pressure within.
Gu Qianying couldn't see it, but she could sense it.
The source was nearby.
