Zhou Kaifan turned his gaze toward the beautiful girl on the ground, a smug smile curling at the corners of his lips as he bent down to pick her up.
So what if she was the daughter of the base administrator?
She had looked down on him before, but now she had still fallen into his hands. Her parents and brother were all gone. What did she have left to be proud of?
“Go away. No.”
With her jaw dislocated, Lin Qiao’er could only make vague, muffled sounds. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disgust and despair.
After being picked up by the man, she struggled and kicked with all her strength, reaching toward his disgusting face with her hands, wishing she could scratch his face to pieces.
Seeing this, Wang Haiting became extremely anxious. He turned his head and happened to see Jiang Chenyu slowly walking in their direction.
His eyes lit up.
With the big shot here, his life was definitely safe!
The message in his eyes made Jiang Chenyu’s lips twitch when he approached.
Was this guy not afraid that he might just leave him to die?
Wang Haiting had never considered that possibility.
He placed one hand on the villa’s railing and nimbly jumped over it. At the same time, he shouted toward Song Qing beside him,
“Xiaoqing, take them down! Don’t be afraid!”
After saying that, he rushed toward the group of men, intending to rescue the girl.
However, several third-order ability users immediately surrounded him, forcing him to stop and use his ability to fight them.
Song Qing’s heart had already been wavering violently, and the moment Wang Haiting rushed forward, it completely tipped toward one side.
She also charged forward to save the girl.
At worst, she could just die one more time.
After all, this life of hers was already an extra one.
The only thing she felt guilty about was Jiang Chenyu. She did not know whether, after her death, he would be betrayed by someone again and end up taking everyone down with him like he had in the original story.
Before she could even get close to Zhou Kaifan, the flames he released nearly burned all the hair off her head.
She stopped just in time and quickly raised a wall of earth to block the fierce flames.
She touched her completely intact hair, fury blazing in her eyes.
This bastard!
Didn’t he know that a girl treasured her beautiful hair the most?
Song Qing’s third-order earth-type ability did not block the flames for long before the wall collapsed with a bang.
Having been prepared, Song Qing leaped nimbly and dodged the flames while simultaneously causing the ground beneath Zhou Kaifan’s feet to collapse.
Caught off guard, Zhou Kaifan loosened his grip, and Lin Qiao’er fell onto the lawn.
The moment she hit the ground, she immediately crawled away from him using both her hands and feet.
Zhou Kaifan had no time to bother with her. He forcefully pulled his foot out of the earth and stared darkly at Song Qing in the distance.
In a deep voice, he said, “Little girl, do you really want to go against me? If you stop now and stay out of this, I can still let you go.”
“Pah! Let me go? I didn’t see you showing any mercy earlier. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have been burned into a lump of charcoal. Now that you see I’m difficult to deal with, you want me to stop? Keep dreaming!”
Song Qing retorted without holding back.
Zhou Kaifan’s expression darkened at her words, and he immediately sent his ability toward her.
A thick fire dragon rushed straight toward Song Qing.
She hurriedly rolled toward another patch of grass. When she looked back after her embarrassing dodge, she saw that the place where she had been standing had already been burned completely black.
Before she could think any further, another wave of flames came straight at her.
She desperately drew on her ability to block the flames while fighting her way closer to Zhou Kaifan.
She knew that her only advantage against him was her third-order physical strength.
As long as she could get close to Zhou Kaifan, there was nothing he could do to her.
Jiang Chenyu stood outside the villa, watching her with an appreciative look in his eyes.
She really surprised him every time.
Clearly, she was a timid and even somewhat absent-minded little girl in everyday life, yet the moment she entered a battle, she displayed astonishing rationality and tenacity.
Seeing that she was about to get close to Zhou Kaifan, he knew there was no need for him to intervene.
He then turned his disgusted gaze toward Wang Haiting on the other side, who was being beaten by several third-order ability users until his face was swollen and bruised, crying out in pain.
A grown man fighting several ability users of the same order, yet he was not even as impressive as this little girl fighting above her level.
Useless.
That was what he thought, but when an iron shard pierced through the water wall Wang Haiting had erected and was about to take his life, Jiang Chenyu still restrained the three ability users.
Wang Haiting had felt the blood throughout his body surge backward, convinced that his life was over.
When the iron shard attacking his heart suddenly fell to the ground, his heart filled with joy.
As expected, Jiang Chenyu could not bear to let him die!
The three ability users who had been beating him mercilessly just moments ago were now standing frozen in place, their faces filled with terror.
Wang Haiting shook his wrist and walked toward them with a sinister grin.
He kicked one of the ability users to the ground, straddled him, and looked at the man’s twisted, frightened face with immense satisfaction.
“Had enough fun beating me just now? Come on, keep hitting me! I’ll beat the hell out of you, you bastard. A beast lusting after an underage girl!”
He repeatedly slammed his fists into the man’s face.
Within a few minutes, the man was beaten unconscious.
Wang Haiting stood up in satisfaction and walked toward the other two men, whose faces had already gone pale.
If Song Qing had been paying attention to Wang Haiting’s side, she would have noticed the bizarre sight of three third-order ability users standing completely still and letting him beat them.
But she was focused on dealing with Zhou Kaifan and did not notice.
Lin Qiao’er, however, did.
She sat beneath the wall, using her poison to hold back the dozen or so lower-order ability users who wanted to rush forward and help.
Facing the battlefield on both sides, she clearly saw the one-sided situation at Wang Haiting’s side.
She blinked, and boundless hope rose in her heart.
Perhaps she really could be saved by these strangers.
Perhaps she could even get her revenge.
Song Qing spent a great deal of effort before finally getting close to Zhou Kaifan.
Seeing Song Qing approach, Zhou Kaifan’s face lit up with delight.
She was too troublesome.
She always managed to dodge his attacks.
Now that she was finally within reach, she was still a woman. No matter how small and agile her body was, it could not change the fact that her strength was inferior to a man’s.
His hand quickly reached toward her, intending to dislocate her arm and make her completely unable to resist.
At the same time, he was already calculating what would happen to this woman afterward.
Although she did not have Lin Qiao’er’s stunning beauty at first glance, her fair, soft skin and petite, adorable appearance were still enough to make his heart itch.
He did not mind having one more woman.
“Ah—!”
A sharp, piercing scream escaped his throat.
He bent over and clutched his agonizing abdomen, completely losing any inappropriate thoughts.
Fuck!
How was this woman so strong?
Song Qing pulled her hand back and kicked hard at his leg.
He cried out and fell to the ground.
Song Qing crouched down and began pummeling him relentlessly, shouting angrily,
“You beast! I’ll beat you to death! Who gave you permission to look at me with those disgusting eyes? Take a good look at yourself. What makes you think you’re worthy?”
Whether from the beating or from anger, Zhou Kaifan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His relatively refined face had become completely twisted.
Song Qing showed no mercy.
This man was ungrateful and had abused an underage girl. Every single one of those things touched the exact points she hated most.
It also brought back memories of her parents and younger brother’s deaths.
The more she beat him, the angrier she became.
Her fists kept striking toward his dantian, directly crippling his ability.
The moment he sensed that his ability had been destroyed, Zhou Kaifan stared at her with bulging eyes.
His gaze was filled with vicious hatred, as though he wished he could torture her to death in every cruel way imaginable.
Song Qing smiled.
Her little canine teeth showed proudly.
So what if he hated her?
Could he still get revenge?
Not wanting to waste any more time on him, she punched him hard in the temple and knocked him unconscious.
If she had not been unaccustomed to killing people, and if she had never killed anyone in this world before, she would have simply killed him.
But now that his ability had been destroyed, this should be even more painful than death, right?
Song Qing thought happily.
Just as she was about to stand up, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feet.
She rose with the motion and turned her head, only to see Jiang Chenyu’s handsome face smiling at her.
“Brother Yu, why did you come over? Were you hurt by our fight?”
As she spoke, she reached toward him, wanting to check him for injuries.
Jiang Chenyu caught her little hand and circulated his ability, healing the redness around her knuckles.
In a gentle voice, he said, “I’m not hurt.”
He reached out and wiped the sweat from her fair forehead.
Looking at her expectant expression as she waited for praise, he could not help laughing.
“Our Qingqing is really amazing. Last time, you advanced in the middle of a crisis to beat the bad guys. This time, you even fought above your level.”
“Right?”
Song Qing also thought she was incredibly amazing.
The exhilaration from the fight was still lingering in her body, and she happily wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, rubbing her cheek against his chest with satisfaction.
Mm.
He smelled so nice.
There was a faint, clean fragrance on him.
After hugging Jiang Chenyu and happily enjoying herself for a while, she suddenly remembered her current state.
Her body instantly stiffened.
She asked the System,
“I’m not dirty, right?”
The System humorously answered her in the opposite way.
“Not dirty. You’re just covered in dust from rolling around on the ground, and there are quite a few bits of grass stuck in your hair.”
Ah!
Song Qing wanted to punch the System.
She also wanted to punch herself.
She instantly released Jiang Chenyu and looked at his white shirt, which had been rubbed dirty. Feeling guilty, she hurriedly patted at it.
“Wuwu, Brother Yu, I’m sorry. I was too excited and forgot that I had just been rolling around on the grass.”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Chenyu ruffled her hair and casually helped pat some of the grass off her.
“Hey, did you two forget that you still have another teammate?”
Wang Haiting stood behind Song Qing and spoke in a resentful tone.
Song Qing turned around.
The moment she saw him, she burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha! How did you get beaten so badly? And they even specifically went for your face! Hahaha, this is hilarious. You could go play a giant panda!”
Song Qing pointed at the two enormous bruised, purplish-black circles around his eyes and laughed so hard that she could barely stand straight.
Wang Haiting speechlessly turned his gaze away and looked expectantly at Jiang Chenyu.
Please hurry up and heal his wounds!
Otherwise, his handsome face would have gone to waste for nothing.
Jiang Chenyu said indifferently, “These are just minor injuries. There’s no need to waste my ability.”
“Hahaha…”
Song Qing burst into laughter again, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
“Brother Yu is right. These little injuries aren’t worth wasting Brother Yu’s healing ability on.”
Although she said that, after laughing, she still followed Wang Haiting in begging Jiang Chenyu to treat his injuries.
After Wang Haiting was healed, Song Qing turned around and saw Lin Qiao’er looking at her expectantly.
She scratched her head awkwardly, feeling that she really should not be laughing at a time like this.
After all, Lin Qiao’er had just experienced a major tragedy in her life.
Song Qing walked toward her.
Lin Qiao’er did not feel offended at all.
Seeing that the scum who had harmed her parents and brother were all lying unconscious on the ground, she almost wanted to put these people who had saved her on a pedestal.
When Song Qing approached, Lin Qiao’er pointed toward the three severely injured people outside and pleaded,
“Sister, could you please help save them?”
Although they had failed to save her, Lin Qiao’er was still grateful that they had been willing to risk their lives to help her family.
She had just seen that it was a handsome older brother using a healing ability.
But Lin Qiao’er felt that the gentle-looking older brother was very dangerous.
When their eyes accidentally met, she had felt as if someone were choking her, leaving her unable to breathe.
She absolutely did not dare ask him for help!
“Of course.”
Song Qing answered Lin Qiao’er firmly.
Then she turned around and looked at Jiang Chenyu with an expectant gaze.
Her expression changed incredibly quickly.
Jiang Chenyu smiled and shook his head before walking over to treat the severely injured people.
