Chapter Twelve She saw Ling Yu

  As she saw the scene, Jiang Nian's left hand suddenly and rapidly spread out a complex black pattern, causing her to shudder. However, this time the pattern quickly retreated, leaving only a small mark on her tiger mouth. Jiang Nian didn't know why she smiled lightly, with a hint of sinister intent in her eyes, she drew a sword shape on her hand, pushed it forward, and at the same time sprinkled a large amount of phantom power from her hand, hitting Lan Lun who was rejoicing. Lan Lun had originally planned to secretly kill Wu Shi Qi in the forest, but now suddenly appeared a Cheng Yaojin.

  Due to being completely unguarded, Lan Lun was directly hit and lost his balance, falling dizzily to the ground. Jiang Nian waited for a while, making sure he had fainted before slowly walking out, walking in front of Wu Shi Qi and crouching down to look at him, not making a sound.

  Wu Qiqi felt very sensitive and immediately sensed that someone was coming. His eyes were still blurry and couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt that the person didn't pose any danger. He quietly let out a breath of relief, took a slow breath in, wanting to sit down and expel the poison, but when he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain piercing through his heart, probably because the poison was too overbearing and he really didn't have the strength to detoxify on his own.

  Jiang Nian squatted beside him for a long time before slightly curling up the corner of his mouth and raising an eyebrow, saying in a helpless tone: "So you're just a bumpkin after all." The voice was different from the soft and gentle tone by the small stream earlier, but Wu Shi Qi still immediately recognized it as the pampered woman he had met earlier. However, he no longer had the energy to express surprise, only weakly asking: "How did you end up here?"

  "It's because I happened to be passing by, and it was convenient for me to save you." Jiang Nian thought for a moment, gauging his tone, and added, "You're such a useless person, yet you still needed me to save you. I thought you were supposed to be quite formidable."

  Wu Qiqi was stunned, thinking that this woman looked so young, assuming she was just following the guardian warriors to practice and play around. He didn't expect her to be so formidable, able to take down Lan Lian with one move. Although it was a sneak attack that took advantage of the situation, the speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness were at least on par with a Qingmang Master. At this age, she was already a genius among geniuses.

  He thought of this and his tone softened: "Sorry, it was my fault earlier. I didn't expect you to be so capable. I was wrong to think I came to rescue you."

  Jiang Nian didn't expect Wu Qi to be so flexible and humble, without any airs about him. She found herself somewhat appreciating him for it. She nodded: "I don't have any medicine on me right now, and I'm not even sure what kind of poison you've been afflicted with. However, I can give you some painkillers - you can use them to hold on until you get back, then go see a pharmacist." As she spoke, she retrieved several painkillers from her storage ring and handed them over to Wu Qi. She hesitated for a moment before doing so, as the painkillers were actually quite precious and difficult to produce, requiring a lot of effort to refine. But looking at Wu Qi's pale face, she relented and handed over the medicine.

  Taking over the medicine from Jiang Nian's hand, Wu Shi Qi's heart felt a rare warmth. Although very weak, he still made an effort to lift his head and said sincerely: "Thank you."

  Jiang Nian nodded slightly, expressionless, but thought to herself that this person was actually quite good. The way he said thank you was really warm and sunny. Out of curiosity towards the male lead, she didn't leave immediately, instead sitting beside him until he finished taking his medicine. After waiting for half a day and seeing that he wasn't as weak, and his body had improved a bit, she got up to leave. However, she also didn't accompany him back together, just casually finding an excuse to let him walk alone.

  Wu Qiqi looked at Lan Lun as he walked away, and Lan Lun was still lying on the ground without moving. He had originally wanted to take action and get rid of Lan Lun, but after thinking about the consequences, he felt that it wasn't a good idea with a woman present, so he gave up.

  He walked a few steps forward and suddenly turned back, asking her: "By the way, miss, you saved me but I still don't know your name?"

  Jiang Nian thought this conversation was really too much like a classic martial arts drama, and couldn't help but play along, saying in a pretentious tone: "Those who are destined to meet again will do so, chance encounters don't require knowing each other's names." Then he fell silent, pretending to be profound.

  Wu Qishi didn't dare to ask further, thinking that Jiang Nian had some unspoken secret. After a moment of thought, he said: "Alright, we'll meet again someday. Although you're not willing to tell me your name, I still want to thank you. My name is Wu Qishi, the successor of the Wu family in the 9th city. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me." Then he turned around and left, leaving Jiang Nian with a good view of his back.

  Jiang Nian watched as his back figure disappeared into a small dot before he felt at ease, turning to look at the half-dead Lan Lun, with a very complex expression, and his right hand also subconsciously rose.

  She admitted that at that moment she had the idea of killing Lan Run to get him out of the way, but when she came back to her senses, she was very frightened. When did her heart become so dark?

  These few seconds of inner turmoil made her not dare to look at Landon again, just standing there unsure what to do. She thought she was very off today, seemingly having a great interest in blood and fierce battles, like a monster that delights in slaughter.

  She calmed down and felt her heart beating twice as fast as usual, but after waiting for a long time, not only did her heartbeat not slow down, but it accelerated even more. Moreover, she suddenly felt that the whole world was a bit off. A sense of fear like being swallowed up rose from the soles of her feet, and then she saw Lan Lun struggling to get up from the ground, with a pale face, his left cheek scratched and bleeding profusely.

  It was a magical scene, like a slow-motion shot without sound. Lang's movements, even the movement of his fingers, seemed to be a slow passage of time. He looked like a prey that had been struggling in a spider web for eternity and could never crawl out. The red blood beads fell from his cheek onto the ground, and the shape of the falling blood was crystal clear. However, the drop of red suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if it had overcome gravity and remained motionless.

  Red blood? Jiang Nian finally reacted where something was wrong, color!

  She actually saw colors.

  Then she subconsciously looked at herself, her hands were all over with black vine-like flower patterns, which extended to her body, and maybe even on her face. This visual impact almost made Jiang Nian faint. What kind of monster had she become?

  When she was on the verge of collapse, a dizziness suddenly came over her, as if a large amount of white light pierced into her eyes, and countless pieces of information like pictures instantly flooded into her mind, making her head ache so much that it felt like it was about to explode, feeling unbearable and wanting to die.

  After the pain had finally subsided a bit, Jiang Nian slowly caught his breath and sat on the ground without speaking, his expression unusually solemn, with a hint of ferocity.

  She saw Ling Yu.

  That was a face identical to her current self, although a few degrees colder, but Jiang Nian still immediately recognized that this was Ling Yu, she knew it must be her, she just knew.

  Digression

  Thank you~

  It's got a bit of suspense to it.
