Two minutes later, Yi lay bleeding and on the verge of death in a pool of blood, his gaze fixed on Ming Li with shock and fear. He uttered with disbelief, "You... you've recovered?"
A playful curve graced Ming Li's lips as she spoke, her words designed to infuriate. "Heh! To deal with you, does this Seat need to use its full strength? Do you think too highly of yourself?"
Yi: "..." Damn it! Killing with words is worse than killing with a blade.
Just as Ming Li was about to finish Yi, the overzealous one, a powerful pressure approached from afar, startling her. She glanced upwards, witnessing a force condensing in mid-air, forming a humanoid shape.
"Who dares cause trouble in my plane?"
Ming Li furrowed her brows and waved an arm, sending a surge of power towards the ethereal figure. Her tone was indifferent, "Playing tricks."
The Heavenly Dao, sent flying: "..." Damn it! It was just trying to make a dramatic entrance, and it didn't even ask for a fee, so why is it so difficult?!
The Heavenly Dao was momentarily silent, weighing the strengths of both parties. It finally resigned itself to reality: it couldn't win...
"You... who are you?"
The Heavenly Dao manifested, transforming into a human form and standing before Ming Li, it asked.
Ming Li cast a casual glance at it, remaining silent.
Upon meeting Ming Li's gaze, the Heavenly Dao shivered all over, its inherent majesty vanishing. "You... why are you looking at me?"
Damn it! Where did this monster come from? It was too terrifying! With just one glance, it felt like its very soul was about to dissipate.
Meanwhile, seeing that Ming Li's attention had been diverted by the Heavenly Dao, Yi was overjoyed. He quickly produced a spatial artifact and fled at lightning speed.
Sensing something, Ming Li turned, her gaze falling on the spot where Yi had been. He was nowhere to be seen.
Ming Li's brow furrowed. She intended to pursue him but was blocked.
The one blocking her was none other than the Heavenly Dao. "You are not allowed to leave!"
Ming Li: "..." Get out of the way!
The Heavenly Dao felt the familiar aura of a powerful being, and its mouth twitched fiercely.
Bloody hell! Isn't this the same great cultivator who beat it up that day and made it change the male lead?!
Recalling this, the Heavenly Dao shivered. Disregarding its heavenly dignity, it meekly stepped aside.
Ming Li shot it a chilling glance, and her figure vanished from the spot at incredible speed.
The Heavenly Dao: "..." It felt like it had gotten into trouble again...
Ming Li pursued, but she could no longer find Yi's presence. She glanced back at the plane, which was enveloped by her barrier. A faint glimmer suddenly flashed in her dark, beautiful eyes, as if something had broken free from its restraints. When she opened her eyes again, they had transformed into heterochromatic pupils, one purple and one silver.
Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. With a wave of her hand, she dispelled the barrier, and her figure disappeared into the sky, returning to the system space.
The System, seeing Ming Li return, swallowed hard. "H-Host, what's wrong? Are... are you okay?"
Ming Li heard this, her gaze lifted towards the system. She furrowed her brow, her voice laced with confusion. "Why is there a stupid pig in my space?" She then asked the system, "What kind of spiritual beast are you? Where did you come from?"
The System: "..." Holy crap! What's going on? What did its Host mean by that?
The System's tail fur bristled in shock. "H-Host, what... what's wrong with you?"
ps: Thank you, darlings, for the gifts!
