The Heavenly Dao looked at Ming Li, bewildered, and didn't immediately grasp the meaning of her words. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.
Ming Li's expression was numb. "Are you blind?"
The Heavenly Dao: "... Damn it, *you're* the blind one!"
Realizing something, the Heavenly Dao quickly sensed his surroundings, only to be bewildered again.
What was going on?! Where was his Son of Heavenly Dao? Why couldn't he sense his existence anymore? What the hell happened without his knowledge!
"Where is my Son of Heavenly Dao? What did you do to him?"
Ming Li: "I got rid of him. Have a problem with that?"
The Heavenly Dao: "... What do you mean?"
Ming Li: "Literally."
The Heavenly Dao's face was filled with anger as he looked at Ming Li. "How dare you provoke me, the Heavenly Dao!"
Ming Li narrowed his beautiful eyes dangerously and spoke, "If you spout any more nonsense, do you believe I'll get rid of you too?"
The Heavenly Dao: "... "
Seeing Ming Li's arrogance, the Heavenly Dao couldn't stand it. He immediately unleashed a kick towards Ming Li, only to be slapped away the next second.
The Heavenly Dao: "... "
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he asked Ming Li, "Who exactly are you?" Why did he possess such powerful and strange abilities? He could even defeat the Heavenly Dao himself!
Ming Li frowned, not wanting to waste any more time. He spoke directly, "Find another Son of Heavenly Dao, or I will find another Heavenly Dao."
The Heavenly Dao: "... You dare!"
"Heh~ Do you think... there's anything I wouldn't dare to do?" Ming Li looked at the Heavenly Dao, and his eyes suddenly changed color, one purple and one silver. Upon closer inspection, the deep and beautiful eyes seemed to hold two swirling lotus imprints within them.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao: "... You, you, you... you are Lord Ming!"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
The Heavenly Dao: "... "
As the Heavenly Dao was about to say something else, Ming Li vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Dao: "... "
While still bewildered, the Heavenly Dao suddenly heard Ming Li's cold voice again, "What kind of taste do you have? You chose a Son of Heavenly Dao with depraved character, and he was exploited..."
The Heavenly Dao: "... " What did she mean by that? What did she mean by being exploited?
The Heavenly Dao furrowed his brows and quickly checked, only to be stunned.
What was going on? Why had his Son of Heavenly Dao been replaced without his knowledge?
The Heavenly Dao swallowed his non-existent saliva, his mind churning with unspoken thoughts.

Leaving the Heavenly Dao space, Ming Li returned to the system space. He glanced at Filad Zero, who was still lying unconscious on the ground, and his red lips parted slightly, uttering two simple words: "Task."
The system swallowed the chicken leg it was holding and quickly scurried to the system screen. Its hooves tapped rapidly across the surface. After a moment, it spoke with shock, "Damn! Host, the male lead of this plane has been replaced?!"
Ming Li nodded. "And then?"
The system continued to look at the screen, "So now, all we need to do is ensure the female lead stays away from Filad Zero, and the first task will be completed."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
The main system, which had been observing the entire process: "... So tasks can be completed this way? Damn! I'm a system that has seen the world now..."
As it looked up, it met a pair of emotionless eyes. The main system shivered and quickly scurried away. "Haha... Uh, big boss, I have some urgent matters, so I'll be leaving now... Oh, no! I'm going."
With that, its figure disappeared from the system space as quickly as a fleeing rabbit.
