She was stunned for a moment before proceeding to reject him, saying, “I’ve always only treated you as my partner at work, and I’ve never thought about getting into a relationship. Plus, I don’t intend to think about things like that now. After we’re done with this mission, I’ll find another partner to work with.”
After saying that, she turned and left. There was no point in trying to force two people together anyway. Since she didn’t have any feelings for him, she told him so directly. She wasn’t the type to drag things out.
But the other party didn’t think the same way. His love turned to hatred after being rejected as he pulled his handgun out and pointed it at her. “Since I can’t have you, I’ll destroy you!”
BANG! The gun was fired.
But the result he expected didn’t happen. The bullet hit a board that suddenly appeared, while a gun also appeared in her hands. She spun around and shot him in the head, then left.
Since he had already decided to kill her, why should she show him any mercy? But it seemed like Master Nine was prepared beforehand, and it wasn’t going to be easy to get out of here.
After that, someone suddenly appeared with a large gun and blew the coffee table in front of her to pieces. The splinters cut Qingcheng’s hand, but once the blood flowed to the Star Bangle, it mysteriously disappeared. However, Qingcheng didn’t notice this at all.
She immediately became angry. “Since you don’t want me to live, then all of you can die!”
She opened her palm and a grenade appeared in her hand. She had previously hidden it in the room directly below the one she was in beforehand, just in case anything happened. Her ability to retrieve objects from elsewhere was limited by how far the item was, so hiding this in the room downstairs was a good backup plan.
Master Nine was alarmed. “Hurry up and shoot her! Shoot her dead now!”
But it was too late. Before the rain of bullets reached her, she had already flung the grenade.
KABOOOM…
The 99th floor instantly burst into flames, and the entirety of it was destroyed…
*********Star Continent*********
KABOOM! The sound of thunder resonated loudly! The sky that was clear just moments ago suddenly turned dark for no reason. The tens of thousands of animals within the Magical Beast Forest on this large continent started howling and roaring at the same time.
At the edge of the capital of Weiyang Nation, Wei City, five suspicious-looking men walked quickly along the entrance to Langya Magical Beast Forest. The tallest man among them had a cloth sack on his shoulder, and the five of them looked rather frantic.
“Boss! Do we really have to bring her all the way into the forest? She’s already dead, so why do we have to go through so much trouble? Why don’t we just bury her somewhere? Wouldn’t that be easier?” the smallest sized man among them suggested as he continued walking quickly. His eyes kept darting around as if he was afraid of something.
“He’s right, boss! Why don’t we just bury her right here and that’s the end of it? Look at the weather! It’s giving me the creeps. It was bright and sunny just moments ago, but once the girl died, the weather started to change, and I think there’s something eerie about it!” He shuddered in fright as he spoke.
Another slightly plumper man chimed in as well, “Exactly! Exactly! I… I also feel that… it’s… there’s… there’s something evil…! Look! Look over there! There are… there are so many eyes… eyes… watching… watching us…”
ROAAARR… AHHWOOOO…
The forest was suddenly filled with all sorts of roaring and howling as if to complement the man’s nervousness. All this only made the five men grow even more agitated.
The leader of the men started to feel that something was wrong as well. “Alright then, we’ll just settle it here! Don’t bother digging a hole. There are so many Magical Beasts here; they will gobble the body up. We’d better leave as soon as possible!”
They immediately put the sack down, untied the rope around the opening, and dragged the body out. After they were done with doing this, they quickly ran back the same way they had come.
However, none of them noticed that, after they had turned and started running with all their might, a very special purple-colored lightning bolt came rushing down from the sky and struck the dead body of the young lady, who had already been dead for quite some time.
All the Magical Beasts roared and howled together as the bolt of lightning hit the ground, and the noise rang through the sky!
ROAR… ROAR…
At the peak of a mountain hidden in the clouds, an elderly man with white hair flying in the wind sat cross-legged. Even though his hair was all white, and his eyebrows were as well, his face was still fair with pink cheeks, and his forehead was not sunken, nor was it marked with a single wrinkle. He instantly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across them. Then he became calm again as if what happened earlier was nothing but an illusion.
The old man excitedly spoke to himself, saying, “You’re finally back… Hoho, I’ve waited long enough for you to come back…” With a white flash of light, he disappeared.
……
“Oh man… my head hurts… the rest of my body hurts, too…”
The young lady who had supposedly died quite some time ago actually woke up. Her eyelashes trembled for a while as she slowly opened her eyes and used her palms to prop herself up. She looked around warily at her surroundings while many questions filled her mind.
“Where is this place? That’s strange, how did I get here? Didn’t I die? You mean the grenade blast didn’t kill me? Even if I didn’t get blasted to pieces, I should have been shot to death, right?”
All she saw around her were bushes. The dark clouds in the sky were gone, and the lightning and thunder from earlier were gone, too. The weather had turned sunny again.
There were many large, tall trees everywhere, and she felt like she was within a big forest. There was also something hiding behind the bushes. After looking around more carefully, it seemed like there were many things hiding behind those bushes.
She knew that she couldn’t possibly be in a zoo. After all her years of being a killer, her instinct told her that those things behind the bushes were extremely dangerous! She immediately decided that she had to quickly get away from this place first, then figure out what was going on later.
She instantly got to her feet. Her head was still very dizzy, but it didn’t cause too much of a problem. She could feel that the things from the forest were coming closer to her. Qingcheng noticed a piece of wood that was about as thick as her wrist, so she grabbed it and looked warily at whatever was slowly advancing towards her.
RUSTLE RUSTLE…
A pack of wolves emerged from the bushes, and these were super large wolves. Their leader was a white wolf, and it was at least twice the size of a full-grown bull. The others with it were slightly smaller in size, but not by that much. Qingcheng was shocked by what she saw, but she was also getting a real headache.
“How… Where is this place? And what’s with these giant wolves?”
