Ning Rongrong

After considering it for a long time, Liu Yi ultimately decided to deal with it later.

Liu Yi tucked the medicine bottle into his clothes. Since he did not have a Soul Guidance Device yet, he could only carry it on him.

He glanced at the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider beneath him, then turned and sprinted off into the distance.

After a full day of travel, Liu Yi finally ran out of the dark, damp depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was already nightfall. He wondered how the students were doing.

When he returned to the inn, the shop assistant hurried over.

"Senior, you're back."

"Mm. Where are the others?"

The shop assistant said, "They said they went back and asked me to inform you."

Liu Yi nodded. Since they had already returned, he had nothing left to worry about.

"I understand. Prepare a room for me."

"Yes, Senior. Please follow me."

Led by the attendant, Liu Yi arrived at a relatively quiet room. Other than a bed and a table, there was nothing else inside.

Liu Yi said nothing and walked over to the window. From there, he could clearly see everything around him.

"Judging from this body's age, Tang San has just graduated from Notting College and is about to head to Shrek Academy."

At that thought, Liu Yi narrowed his eyes, the light in them flickering uncertainly.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

At that moment, a faint cry for help came from the distance.

Liu Yi frowned slightly and looked over. A little girl of around twelve was surrounded by more than a dozen burly men. From the looks of it, they intended to do something unspeakable.

Liu Yi had not intended to interfere. He turned, ready to go to sleep. This continent had always been like this—the strong preyed on the weak. Either you killed others, or they killed you.

"I'm the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! You dare touch me?"

Sure enough, upon hearing "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Liu Yi stopped in his tracks. The burly men in the distance also froze.

"Big Brother, if she really is the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... then we..."

One of the men frowned. "Why should we believe you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

The little girl snorted coldly and placed her right hand before her chest. As her Soul Power surged, a miniature Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared before everyone.

Though it was small, it was enough to clearly prove the girl's status and identity.

Sure enough, the men were greatly alarmed at the sight and instinctively staggered back several steps.

"Hmph, scared now? Then get lost."

The man clenched his fists. They had already offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If they let the tiger return to the mountain, they might very well die miserably here.

"Fuck it, do it!"

Ning Rongrong took a frightened step back and threatened, "If you dare touch me, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will never let you off!"

"Hmph, and if we let you go, won't we die anyway? Since it's already come to this, blame your bad luck. Brothers, kill her."

"Huh? Big Brother, we're not going to have some fun first?"

The man narrowed his eyes and sized up Ning Rongrong's figure. Though she was not particularly well-developed, she was still a little loli.

What grown man did not like little lolis?

At that sight, the man's eyes filled with greed.

"Hehe, keep watch. Once I'm done enjoying myself, you can have your turn."

"Sure thing, Boss."

At last, Ning Rongrong was truly afraid. She had not expected these beasts to be unafraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Was she really going to die here today?

"What kind of ability is it for a bunch of grown men to bully a little girl?"

The man stopped and turned around, glaring coldly at the man behind him.

"Who are you?"

"The one stopping you."

The man snorted. "Stopping me? Hmph, who the hell do you think you are?"

Liu Yi shrugged helplessly. "I already gave you a chance to run, but you just don't want to live."

The man was visibly enraged upon hearing that. As a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse, how could he possibly endure such humiliation?

"Fuck, you're courting death. You lot, kill him. I still have business to take care of."

The others exchanged glances, a chill appearing in their eyes.

Liu Yi shook his head helplessly. "Fine, fine. If you want to die, then die."

From his memories, this body was no good man. At the slightest disagreement, he would slaughter your whole family.

"Arrogant bastard! Brothers, kill him!"

Everyone gripped their machetes and charged rapidly toward Liu Yi.

"First Soul Skill, Slash!"

As the word "slash" left Liu Yi's lips, everyone who had charged forward froze, staring at him in disbelief.

Gradually, their eyes reddened with blood, and their bodies began to tremble without stop.

As a cold wind swept past, their bodies inexplicably split apart.

The thick stench of blood rushed into her nose. Ning Rongrong's little face turned pale with fright, and upon seeing the mangled scene of flesh and blood, she finally could not hold it in any longer and vomited.

The burly man was also stunned. Among his subordinates were one Soul King and two Soul Ancestors, yet they had died so easily?

Ding: Congratulations to the host for killing a Soul Master. Reward: ten Gold Soul Coins.

Liu Yi shook his head and stared coldly at the burly man before him.

"You... do you have any last words?"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Bear Roar."

With an angry roar, an enormous bear phantom appeared behind the burly man.

Without another word, a shockwave instantly burst from the bear's mouth and shot straight toward Liu Yi.

"Trash. Your Sixth Soul Skill is actually only a thousand-year soul ring? Useless!"

Provoked by Liu Yi's mockery, the burly man let out a furious roar and charged at him, his body like a hill.

Liu Yi's eyes turned cold, and his body shot forward like lightning. In almost an instant, the burly man felt a chill in his chest as an icy, bone-piercing sensation swept through his entire body.

"Th-this... how... is this... possible?!"

At that moment, a bowl-sized wound had somehow appeared in the burly man's chest. His heart had mysteriously vanished—or rather, been shattered.

Without his heart to sustain him, the burly man collapsed to the ground with a thud. It was clear that he would not survive.

Liu Yi approached Ning Rongrong step by step. Terrified, Ning Rongrong fell to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

"Are you Ning Rongrong?"

"Mm... I... I am."

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Just answer one question for me."

"Are you heading to Shrek Academy this time?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, too frightened to say much.

Liu Yi crouched down and looked at Ning Rongrong. "You're safe now. Pack up and leave quickly."

With that, Liu Yi stood up, smiled, and left.

Ning Rongrong stared blankly at Liu Yi's departing figure before turning and running toward the distance.

Not far away, several figures dressed in black quietly followed after her.

After returning to his room, Liu Yi acted as though he knew nothing. He fell onto the bed and began snoring away, completely unruffled.
