Threat

"Qinxue!?"

Upon hearing the shout, Lin Qinfeng anxiously rushed past Lu Li and ran toward her sisters.

Before she could get close, she saw Lin Qinxue vomit a large mouthful of black blood.

Lin Qinhua's healing ability had no purifying effect whatsoever. The fact that Lin Qinxue had held on until now was already a testament to her tenacity.

"What do we do, Big Sister? If we don't remove the 'curse' effect from Third Sister, she really will die!"

Lin Qinyue anxiously clawed at her hair.

If they had still had time earlier to rush back to the Lin Family and think of a solution, they no longer had that choice now.

Lin Qinxue's injuries had been delayed for too long. She would die on the way!

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Qinhua suddenly spotted Lu Li walking over, as though she had seized a lifeline.

"Big Sister, him! He definitely has a way to save Third Sister!"

"Lu Li?" Lin Qinfeng froze, then hurriedly asked, "Qinhua, what do you mean?"

"When he fought the Bee Queen just now, he suffered the same injury as Third Sister, but my [Group Healing] didn't fail on him!"

Lin Qinfeng turned back for a closer look and discovered that it was indeed as Qinhua had said.

The clothes over Lu Li's chest were still torn, but the skin beneath was smooth and unblemished, without the slightest trace of injury.

He definitely had a way to remove the "curse"!

"Mr. Lu! Please, save my Third Sister!"

In her desperation, Lin Qinfeng actually intended to kneel before Lu Li.

However, before Lu Li could speak, the impatient Lin Qinyue stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qinfeng.

"Big Sister, there's no need for us to humble ourselves like this!"

"Hey, you! Hurry up and remove the 'curse' from my Third Sister! Our Lin Family will give you money! Lots and lots of money—the kind you've never seen in your entire life!"

Lu Li was somewhat speechless.

He had originally planned to take out the Purification Potion, but after hearing Lin Qinyue say that, he immediately changed his mind.

Lu Li smiled and retorted, "Money? What do I need money for?"

"To buy things, obviously!" Lin Qinyue planted her hands on her hips, putting on the airs of a young lady. "I can tell from head to toe that you're wearing cheap stuff. You're obviously some dirt-poor nobody! With money, you can buy anything you want!"

Lu Li shook his head, unwilling to keep arguing.

"Save your money to buy your Third Sister's life. I'll be taking my leave!"

With that, he raised his leg to leave.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qinyue directly blocked his path.

"No! If you don't save my Third Sister, I'll make sure your life stays here to be buried with her!"

As soon as she spoke, the black-clad men around them immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Lu Li in unison.

It was as if, with a single command from Lin Qinyue, Lu Li would be riddled with bullets on the spot.

"Qinyue! What are you doing!?"

Lin Qinfeng tried to step forward and stop her, but Lin Qinyue shoved her aside.

"Don't interfere, Big Sister. Today, I'll make this brat save my Third Sister! If Third Sister dies, there's no reason for him to keep living either!"

As he looked at the dark gun barrels surrounding him, Lu Li's gaze turned icy.

He hated being threatened most of all!

Black mist rose from beneath his feet as Mantis Soul Soldiers condensed out of thin air!

Like an impenetrable wall, they instantly enclosed Lu Li and Lin Qinyue within!

Lu Li looked coldly at Lin Qinyue.

"You really think you can keep my life here?"

There were more than thirty Mantis Soul Soldiers, every single one at Lv.3.

Lin Qinyue was only a pitiful Lv.2. Surrounded by the Soul Soldiers, she felt as though she had been thrown into a freezing ice cave!

Only then did she remember that this man she had called a poor nobody had just wiped out an entire swarm of bees!

And had even solo-killed a Lv.10 Bee Queen!!

"I... I..."

Lin Qinyue had no idea what to do.

In the past, she had been the Lin Family's most doted-on youngest daughter, and her sisters had always indulged her.

That was precisely why she had developed such an impatient, foul temper.

But now, Lu Li would not indulge her.

Lu Li really would kill her!!

Lin Qinyue began to feel afraid.

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, I'm sorry! I've already told them to put down their guns!"

Lin Qinfeng's voice suddenly rang out from beyond the Soul Soldier. With a thought, Lu Li opened a gap.

After this eldest daughter of the Lin Family rushed in, she slapped her own sister twice without hesitation.

The blows were so forceful that they rang out with two sharp smacks!

After slapping Lin Qinyue, she dropped to her knees before Lu Li and pleaded:

"Mr. Lu, please save my Third Sister! The Lin Family is willing to pay any price!!"

Looking at the beauty kneeling at his feet, Lu Li said blandly:

"Who exactly calls the shots in your Lin Family? You, or her?"

As he spoke, Lu Li's right hand had already formed into a blade, slowly pointing toward Lin Qinyue.

Lin Qinfeng hurriedly climbed to her feet, pulled Lin Qinyue over, and slapped her twice more!

"Me! I call the shots in the Lin Family! Please forgive my sister's offense, Mr. Lu. Please don't hold it against her!"

"Fine." Lu Li nodded, but the chill in his eyes did not fade in the slightest. "I can indeed save your Third Sister."

Upon hearing this, a smile blossomed across Lin Qinfeng's tear-streaked face.

However, Lu Li's next sentence froze that smile solid.

"But I have one condition: the entire Lin Family must acknowledge me as their master."

"What?!"

Lin Qinfeng's eyes filled with bitterness.

Was the Lin Family truly about to reach its end?

First, they had been set up and harmed by other families. Now, their entire clan had to serve another as master.

"If you won't agree, forget it. I'm busy. Don't block my way again."

Lu Li withdrew the Soul Soldier and spoke as calmly as if nothing had happened.

"I... agree!"

Lin Qinfeng practically gritted out her answer.

So what if the Lin Family was at its end?

So what if the entire clan had to serve another as master?

None of that mattered more than her sister's life!

Lu Li glanced at Lin Qinfeng in slight surprise, then chuckled and tossed the Purification Potion to Lin Qinhua.

"Make her drink it. Once the 'Curse' effect disappears, your healing will take effect."

Lin Qinhua looked at the Purification Potion with some doubt. After confirming that its function was indeed as Lu Li had said, she hurriedly fed it to Lin Qinxue.

The moment the potion entered her mouth, the wound on Lin Qinxue's chest stopped worsening.

Under the restorative effects of [Group Healing], the wound gradually closed and returned to normal.

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Qinxue, who had long since fallen unconscious, woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Qinhua crying tears of joy.

"Wuwuwu, Third Sister, it's so good that you're okay. I thought you were really going to die..."

Lin Qinfeng immediately stepped forward and carefully examined Lin Qinxue's injuries.

Only after confirming that she was indeed out of danger did she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Standing behind her eldest sister, Lin Qinyue blankly watched her Third Sister improve. Then she reached up to touch her red, swollen cheeks, and finally burst into tears.

"Waaah, Big Sister, you actually hit me! That damn old man never hit me even once from childhood until now, yet you actually hit me..."

Lin Qinfeng, whose mood had only just begun to brighten, could not help but frown again upon hearing the crying.

Her younger sister had truly been spoiled rotten!

If Lu Li had pressed the matter just now, her Third Sister Lin Qinxue would really have died.

Lin Qinfeng had just been about to scold her younger sister a few more times and properly apologize to Lu Li.

But when she looked around, she discovered that the man was already nowhere to be seen.

All that remained was a lone string of information in her friend list—

Name: Lu Li

Level: Lv.0

Title: Overlevel Kill
