"You..."
His contracted beasts... all dead?!
Mo Jun looked at the corpses of the contracted beasts on the ground, his eyes filled with shock.
"How... how is this possible..."
Ming Li glanced indifferently at the young man in front of her and remained silent.
"Creak—"
Just as the atmosphere turned strange, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Immediately followed by a piercing scream.
"Ah!"
Ming Li frowned at the sound and looked over with a cold gaze.
Ming Yue, who was screaming, met Ming Li's gaze and instinctively stopped screaming.
After a while, she looked at the contracted beasts on the ground, like dead dogs, and the silver sword in Ming Li's hand still dripping blood. She questioned loudly, "Sister! What have you done!"
As she met the girl's face, memories from her previous life surged into Ming Li's mind, and an intense hatred welled up, causing her to feel a splitting headache.
Ming Li frowned, withdrew her thoughts, and looked at the girl in front of her expressionlessly, saying in a faint voice, "Are your eyes just for decoration?"
Ming Yue, "What did you say!"
Ming Yue was about to erupt, but she remembered that there were other people present, so she forcefully suppressed herself and said with a wronged expression, "Sister, how could you kill Senior Brother Mo Jun's contracted beasts? You've completely ruined him!"
Ming Li remained expressionless and said faintly, "And then?"
Ming Yue, "..." Why wasn't this going according to the script...
Suddenly, Ming Yue thought of something and her gaze unconsciously fell on the silver sword in Ming Li's hand. Where did this sword come from? Wasn't Ming Li a good-for-nothing? How could she kill Senior Brother Mo Jun's contracted beasts? Could it be... because of this sword?
Thinking this, a trace of greed and jealousy flashed in Ming Yue's eyes.
Why! Why did all the good things belong to Ming Li! Just because she was the protagonist?!
No! She had arrived, and now, she was the protagonist of this world! All those good things should belong to her.
Thinking this, Ming Yue's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Sister, why did you take my sword?"
Ming Li, "...?" How did she grow this old with such shamelessness?
Ming Li's lips curved into a mocking arc as she looked at the pitiful girl in front of her, "What, is it not enough to have stolen my spirit beast, now you want to steal my sword?"
"I... I didn't..." Ming Yue took a step back, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, "Sister, I didn't mean to. Your spirit beast insisted on being my contracted beast, I couldn't help it. This is not my fault..."
Seeing this, the corner of Ming Li's eye twitched. This acting would be a waste if she didn't go into showbiz.
Wait... what was showbiz?
Just as Ming Li was wondering, Mo Jun, who had been in a daze, finally came to his senses.
He looked at the indifferent Ming Li, his eyes filled with hatred. The next second, spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a sword appeared.
"Ming Li, you killed my contracted beasts! I must have your life today!"
Seeing the sword thrust towards her, Ming Li's expression remained unchanged. She directly slashed with her sword.
The silver sword cut through Mo Jun's spiritual sword and also his neck. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto Ming Yue's face.
Feeling the liquid slowly sliding down her face, Ming Yue froze on the spot, staring at the scene in front of her with a shocked expression.
Ming Li calmly retracted her silver sword and glanced coldly at Ming Yue.
"You..."
Meeting Ming Li's gaze, Ming Yue instinctively took a step back, swallowed hard with difficulty, and fled in a panic.
Watching the retreating figure, Ming Li did not pursue.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would return.
Ming Li glanced at the lifeless figures on the ground, and with a thought, she sheathed the silver sword and turned back to her room.
