Amid laughter and casual conversation, Yuan Wang spared Yuan Xi's life just to please the demonic cultivator woman, pulling the longsword from Yuan Xi's body.
The sharp blade tore through flesh inch by inch, the pain making even one's very bones tremble uncontrollably.
Overwhelming hatred and despair, mingled with the agony of her body, swallowed Yuan Xi whole in an instant.
Yuan Xi's tiny body curled into a ball as she lay amid the ruins, blood spreading all around her. Whether she lived or died was unknown.
Lin Qi had thought Senior Sister Yuan Xi would appear, but even when she opened her eyes again, she still could not find any trace of Senior Sister Yuan Xi.
This time, the place seemed to have changed.
Lin Qi stood in a lush, verdant Spiritual Tea Garden. The sky was azure and cloudless for thousands of miles, bright and clear.
She looked around in confusion.
Didn't Master say that Senior Sister's nightmare was the day the Yuan family was destroyed? Why had she appeared here?
A ripple of spiritual energy came from not far away. Lin Qi looked up and immediately spotted Yuan Wang fighting a second-tier demonic beast.
He held a wooden sword, a few beads of sweat seeping from his brow. Several wounds now marred his resolute, handsome face.
"Xiao Xi, get behind Brother!"
"Okay! Brother, be careful!"
Little Yuan Xi clutched Yuan Wang's hem and hid behind him, cautiously poking her head out to watch the terrifying demonic beast.
The Second-tier Green-tailed Snake hissed, flicking out its red snake's tongue, then shot toward Yuan Wang like a bolt of lightning.
Yuan Wang raised his sword, intending to slash at the Green-tailed Snake's vital point, but the snake coiled around his arm and seized the chance to leap at him.
