Late at night.
Li Qiao received a call from Li Jue.
“Senior Sister, I’ve missed you. Let’s meet.”
“Location!”
“My villa!”
After hanging up, Li Qiao curled the corner of her lips.
My good junior brother, oh my good junior brother.
This time, you’ll get to taste my special little treasure. Li Qiao held a pearl between her fingers.
——
He Jingnian suddenly clutched his chest, his face gradually turning deathly pale.
“Ninth Master—”
“Qiaoqiao is in trouble.”
At that moment, Li Qiao was indeed locked in a magical battle with Li Jue.
Li Jue was originally a genius, but he had strayed from the righteous path. The peachwood sword in Li Qiao’s hand whirled around Li Jue.
Golden light radiated around the two of them!
“Senior Sister, why? You’ve already killed me once. Do you have to kill me again?” Li Jue’s eyes held deep pain.
“As fellow practitioners of the mystical arts, you have committed too many sins. Li Jue, you should know your own fate. Defying the natural order inevitably leads to a dead end.”
Li Jue let out a wild, manic laugh.
His gaze turned vicious. “If Heaven won’t tolerate me, then I’ll defy Heaven itself. What damnable Heavenly Way? It can’t do anything to me.”
Arrogant, unbridled!
Suddenly, the malevolent energy around Li Jue grew heavier and heavier. Li Qiao’s eyes widened slightly in shock.
“You… you actually practiced forbidden arts and sacrificed yourself? Li Jue, you truly are a madman.”
“Yes, I am a madman—but this madman just wants to be with Senior Sister. Since we aren’t happy in this world, I’ll take Senior Sister to another one. There, we will become the closest of people.”
Li Jue stared at her with crazed eyes.
His words—
Li Qiao didn’t understand them.
She watched Li Jue’s reactions and finally saw a black vortex forming on the wall.
Li Qiao’s heart sank.
This novel world existed independently.
Damn it! That bastard Li Jue actually had the power to tear through worlds and leave.
Her eyes turned icy cold!
The pearl in her hand was thrown out, emitting a golden light that hovered above Li Jue’s head.
“Senior Sister, your heart is so cruel. Since that’s the case, let’s leave together.”
The formation had long been prepared, waiting just for Li Qiao to enter the trap!
The peachwood sword left a mark on the ground. Just as Li Qiao was gradually being pulled by a force toward Li Jue,
The pearl above them instantly exploded. A sharp cry of pain came from Li Jue, followed immediately by another.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Qiao swung her sword, striking Li Jue’s limbs. Instantly, Li Jue knelt and crumpled before the vortex, bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes fixed on Li Qiao with intense hatred.
The next second, she saw Li Jue curl his lips into a sinister smile as his body began to show signs of exploding!
Bang!
The door was kicked open. The person who burst in was none other than He Jingnian.
“Qiaoqiao—”
He rushed toward Li Qiao at lightning speed, instantly snatching her away. Enraged, Li Jue struck He Jingnian’s back with his palm. He Jingnian immediately coughed up blood!
Li Qiao’s eyes turned frigid. She thrust her sword into Li Jue’s heart. Li Jue looked at her in disbelief. “Senior Sister… you…”
Before he could finish, Li Qiao kicked him squarely into the vortex.
Li Jue’s eyes were filled with anguish—
The vortex vanished!
Li Qiao immediately picked up He Jingnian and left.
After returning to He Jingnian’s residence, Li Qiao looked at his pale face, feeling an inexplicable panic in her heart.
She closed the door, forbidding anyone from entering!
Outside, He Yi was extremely anxious.
When Li Qiao woke again,
He Jingnian on the bed was looking at her.
Li Qiao was overjoyed. “You’re awake.”
“I’m sorry for frightening you, Qiaoqiao.”
“Don’t be so reckless in the future, He Jingnian. Your own life is the most important thing.” She looked at He Jingnian deeply.
In that moment, she was especially afraid he would die.
