Leaving behind the self-sacrificing Chang Fei, Lu Li—who had just escaped from the headquarters of that perverted rabbit queen within the 【Shadow Fate】 with Le Zhengwen—now wore a face full of disbelief.
Originally, she had planned to first take Le Zhengwen somewhere safe before going back to help Chang Fei.
But unexpectedly, Chang Fei had already severed the 【Shadow Fate】 bond himself.
On top of that, the little girl in front of her was now mocking her for having too small a chest, saying she didn’t even look like a woman…
Fine, whatever… Not looking like a woman was no big deal.
She didn’t care about such trivial things at all.
Even if martial arts training would flatten her chest, as long as she became strong enough to protect the people she cared about now, it was simply giving up the chance to be a woman.
She didn’t care…
“Big brother, danger!” Just as Lu Li was trying to comfort herself, a shadow suddenly descended from the sky.
Lu Li reflexively jumped back, feeling a sharp pain in her chest.
Blood splattered out as her clothes were slashed open—the wound was right on her chest.
Lu Li immediately shielded Le Zhengwen in her arms and nimbly leapt back several steps.
Her free hand swiftly flicked out ten yellow talismans in a blur.
A pained scream came from the attacker—Lu Li recognized the voice as female—but she felt no emotion.
She touched her waist, drew out a sword strung with one-yuan coins, flicked her bloody fingers along the blade, and twisted the tip before thrusting it through the flying talismans at the opponent.
After being struck, the attacker—her hair disheveled—retreated step by step, clearly not expecting Lu Li’s rapid response and the stabbing to her chest.
A scream escaped her lips as the black mist surrounding her dissipated considerably.
The girl’s face looked somewhat familiar to Lu Li, though she couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.
But in the moment of her distraction, the girl turned and fled, dissolving into black mist and vanishing completely.
Lu Li stared in shock—this meant the opponent couldn’t have been a living person…
Wait, earlier during the attack, Lu Li hadn’t been able to gauge her surroundings properly.
But now, seeing the girl escape, a thought struck her… She was currently standing right outside a hospital.
Looking around, Lu Li was surprised that no one seemed to notice what was happening here…?
“Big brother, don’t worry, Wenwen will cover for us!”
While Lu Li was still stunned, Le Zhengwen, nestled in her arms, cheerfully lifted her little blood-smeared face—
“What the hell is going on with you two?!”
Just then, Chang Fei’s surprised voice came from beside them.
Le Zhengwen, facing Chang Fei directly, instantly relaxed into a relieved smile upon seeing he was unharmed.
“Big brother, are you as strong as the other big brother? You even dealt with the perverted auntie?”
“Uh… I only managed to temporarily handle things on my side…” Chang Fei exhaled sharply when he heard Le Zhengwen mention Feng Shuangrou, his head, arms, and back aching.
Though his body as the Moon Elder shouldn’t feel pain from such minor attacks, the mental scars were deep, and he was reluctant to recall the incident caused by her momentary carelessness and emotional outburst.
“But what about you two? What’s going on? Why are you both covered in blood?” Chang Fei shook his head, looking at Lu Li.
Judging by the blood flow, it was clear the wound was on Lu Li’s chest; her front was soaked in blood… wait… her chest was covered in blood, and so was Le Zhengwen’s little face.
Could it be…
Chang Fei considered a possibility and pointed at the little girl with trembling fingers, disbelief in his voice: “You… you weren’t thirsty and accidentally drank too much, were you…”
Before he could finish, Lu Li threw out a Flying Talisman, cutting off his words.
This talisman could fly as high as a thousand meters, but if the user didn’t know how to control it, they could easily fall to their death.
Without any explanation, she pressed a set of Flying Talismans onto Chang Fei’s body.
For the rare time, a gentle smile flickered across Lu Li’s cold face as she patted his shoulder and said, “Since this is settled, you can leave if you have things to do. I’ll send this little girl home. Goodbye then!”
With that, a snap of her fingers sent Chang Fei’s body shooting into the sky in the blink of an eye.
“Wow~~! Big brother, you’re amazing! Little brother’s flying into the sky! Wenwen wants to fly too!”
Le Zhengwen’s small voice floated faintly into Chang Fei’s ears, tormenting his little heart: “Damn it—what did I do wrong—”
He wasn’t stupid.
He saw it clearly! Lu Li had done it on purpose! Definitely on purpose! But Chang Fei didn’t understand why she would do that.
Was it because he accidentally saw her nursing her baby, and she wanted to kill him to keep it a secret? That was not how things should go!
It took Chang Fei a very long time to realize… though his suspicions had been caused by a misunderstanding, at times like those—given the situation, the circumstances—thinking about such things… cough cough, the Holy Problem was a very rude subject to bring up.
“Hey, sister in black, why are you flying up in the sky too?” Still puzzled about why Lu Li had sent him flying, Chang Fei noticed a black figure beside him and raised a hand to greet.
However, what he received in return was a sharp claw.
But… that claw ultimately missed its target.
Tian Mi—or rather, the former Leng Yiqing—never expected both of his strikes to fail.
The boy in front of him was one of the two responsible for his failed plan against Feng Shuangrou.
After failing to ambush Lu Li, Tian Mi shifted his revenge onto this foolish-looking boy.
Whether it was because the boy couldn’t dodge in midair or was simply slow-witted, Tian Mi was certain this boy would be easy to deal with.
But he had never imagined his attack would miss.
“You… you didn’t really think you could easily kill me just now, did you?” The low voice behind him was no longer childish or naive.
The tone was mocking, dripping with disdain.
This attitude made Tian Mi uneasy.
He tried to escape the grasp of the person behind him the same way he had fled from Lu Li, but the moment he tried to move, a hand grabbed his head. An overwhelming righteous energy pinned his body, preventing him from escaping!
That hand forcibly turned his head around.
The eyes that met Tian Mi’s were no longer those of the easy target he had seen before.
The gaze and smile carried a chilling coldness with deep meaning.
This was no mere bullied boy—he was a god. Not a divine immortal god, but still the kill fox god.
Although usually a bit foolish, that didn’t mean anyone could trample all over him.
