Chapter 18: Mutual Non-Indebtedness

  "Believe me, I said I would protect you and I won't go back on my word." The resolute words were etched in Anno's heart like an oath, instantly changing her impression of this young master from a large family.

  Obviously, he had many opportunities to get rid of her burden, and obviously, he could have used her to shake off the monsters and escape.

  But he didn't.

  But he gave her a firm reply, he would definitely protect her completely.

  He's a strange guy, but can't help letting her watch from the sidelines.

  Walked up to Yoon Sung-ji, turned his head again and looked at him with a genuine smile, making Yoon Sung-ji stunned for a moment, his thoughts briefly jammed.

  "Consider it a return of the favor, from now on we don't owe each other anything." Anno said calmly and didn't give Yin Shengzhi time to ask questions again, she took a few more steps forward, ignoring the anxious words behind her. She closed her eyes, revealing her abilities.

  Thinking of how he had just risked his life to protect her, despite it being their first meeting and her life being seemingly insignificant, yet he was willing to get hurt himself in order to keep her safe.

  The corners of his mouth slightly raised, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "He really is a good-for-nothing person."

  Her tied-up hair was blown away by the wind, her light yellow long hair fluttered up, emitting a golden glow. She opened her eyes again, and her emerald green pupils were enchantingly beautiful.

  Muttering words in his mouth, a magical array appeared on the ground, and the dazzling light made all the demons scream in agony.

  "I don't want your lives, disappear from my sight within three seconds." The words were spoken in a tone that was even more flat than usual, although the voice was soft but accurately conveyed to every demon's ear.

  Almost in the next second, all the demons surrounding them retreated tacitly.

  Confirmed that all demons have left, Anno's ability was withdrawn, the golden light on his body stopped, and the footprints of the law array disappeared. He shook a few times, weakly fell down, and in the two seconds before he came into close contact with the ground again, he was steadily caught in Yin Shengzhi's arms.

  "Hey, are you okay?" The loud and anxious voice of Yoon Sung-ji rang in her ears. Anno struggled to open her eyes, gradually making out the worried face before her. She raised her hand, grasping at Yoon Sung-ji's clothes, using up her last bit of strength to utter a few words before completely passing out.

  "My name is not Wei, it's Annoying."

  By the side of Mirror Lake, Leng Qingchen and Beigong Wuxin stood face to face, one with an icy expression, the other disbelieving.

  "Do you want to kill me?" The scene just now made him cold and dusty, still with lingering fear in his heart. Who would have thought that the originally gentle and weak Beipiao Ruocheng would suddenly attack him? If he hadn't reacted quickly, he was afraid that one of his arms would have been chopped off by her now.

  "Are you going to die quickly or do you want me to take my time and torture you? You choose." Without a hint of joking, Beigong Ruocheng had no patience to waste time with him. A whirlwind surrounded his body, the powerful magic pressure making Leng Qingchen unable to withstand it, half-kneeling on the ground, his face pale, cold sweat dripping down.

  "Since you want suffering, I'll fulfill your wish." The time it took for the words to sink in was no more than three seconds, but Bei Gong Ruo Xing's voice sounded like a devilish melody from hell to Leng Qing Chen's ears, amplifying his fear infinitely.

  Unable to resist any longer, he removed his disguise and revealed his true self, shouting "Mercy, sir!"

  Bei Gong's eyes narrowed slightly as he directly conjured a whirlwind aimed at the fake goods' heart.

  Bang! He was directly knocked out several meters away and almost fell into the lake.

  "Thank you for sparing my life." As soon as the words fell, the fake goods spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up from the ground.

  "I don't need your warnings, don't test my patience." Her decision was not to be questioned by others, her actions didn't require reminders from others, even if the starting point of all this was for her own good, she wouldn't allow it.

  "That person has mistakenly entered the illusory realm, but with that low-level magic array, he should be able to break through soon. You don't have to worry." Lowering his head, the fake spoke respectfully to Beiping Ruocheng, trying to alleviate her anger and reduce the punishment for his master.

  "The person I have a crush on can't be a soft persimmon." The chill dissipated, and Beigong Ruocheng glanced at the fake goods with self-confidence, her smile radiant like sunshine.

  At the same time as her voice fell, a loud explosion came from the forest, making Beigong Ruoxue's smile even deeper.

  Approaching the counterfeit goods, squatting down, and looking at them with a straightforward gaze made the counterfeit goods feel hairy in their heart, but they didn't dare to ask questions, and could only mechanically answer Beigong Ruocheng's questions.
