Chapter 224

Ye Jiang remained silent.

"Sister, let's not fight, okay?" The girl's fingers brushed against the branches of the flowers in her arms, her expression a mixture of pity and sorrow, yet her gaze remained fixed ahead, as if she saw the beautiful older sister before her transformed into the branches in her arms, withered and tragically gone. Her voice was tinged with melancholy. "Sister, your eyes have become so frightening. But, sister, you can't beat me, and I don't want to hurt you, so, let's not fight, okay?"

At this point, the girl drifted off into thought.

The girl screamed, raised her fist, and charged forward; she was going to kill this man!

However, before she could get even an inch closer to the man, something suddenly appeared and struck her in the abdomen. She was sent flying, crashing to the ground, her limbs twitching in pain.

She scrambled to her feet and charged forward again, ignoring everything, only to be knocked away once more.

The girl tried to get up again and again, but she couldn't even get close to the other person. The demon in human skin stood there, smiling and watching gently, like watching a naughty child.

The girl felt so disgusted by her that she wanted to vomit.

vomit--

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, along with her ruptured internal organs. Her hands gripped the ground, blood dripping from her fingers, as she dragged her broken body forward step by step, her eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred.

The girl stared ahead, her gaze becoming somewhat vacant and distant.

She murmured, "... I can't beat them."

"... We can't beat them."

"Humans... no matter how hard they try, there are limits."

A gentle breeze suddenly touched her face, and the girl snapped back to reality, shocked to find her sister, whom she felt sorry for, standing right in front of her. She had only been lost in thought for a moment, and the other woman had appeared before her, only disturbing the air and stirring up a wisp of wind!

"!!"

She ricocheted to avoid it.

Ye Jiang simply watched her target escape without giving chase.

She looked at the girl as if she were seeing her first time descending from the barrier into this alien world of humans. Although all she saw were unfamiliar lives, she had one feeling that was certain: weak.

Those lives were as insignificant as ants to her.

That's how she felt about being a young girl.

The girl quickly ran a hundred meters away, her heart pounding. She was terrified by what she had just witnessed; how could this human sister be so fast!

She calmed her racing heartbeat. "My sister seems a bit stronger than I expected; no wonder she insisted on fighting me."

"But..." The girl's gaze swept over the Blood Moon symbol on Ye Jiang's hand, "I've said it before, humans have limits. Sister may be a top-tier ability user, but..."

"It's a pity you're facing me," the girl sighed.

The wind carried the girl's sigh to Ye Jiang's ears. Ye Jiang: "."

This girl must have no friends.

Ye Jiang thought to herself.

Just how much did she nag?

This girl, who keeps nagging about a strange monster, definitely has no friends.

But I'm different.

Images of humans and monsters flashed through Ye Jiang's mind, and an inappropriate sense of superiority arose within her. She had friends, many of them.

Ye Jiang was very unhappy when she saw the illusion being disrupted, but now this slight, inappropriate sense of superiority has somewhat dampened her mood.

Ye Jiang appeared beside the girl in a flash. Because her mood had changed slightly, she approached casually, but the girl was startled and immediately fled from the opening. Before she could catch her breath, Ye Jiang's figure appeared in front of her again.

"!!"

The girl's body finally tensed, and the smile on her face became somewhat stiff. She...

She noticed Ye Jiang's composure.

Although the other party immediately blocked her escape route with incredible speed, the girl realized that they weren't actually taking it seriously at all.

The girl's expression shifted several times. "Sister, you..."

When Ye Jiang saw her speak, her expressionless face finally changed slightly. Was she about to start nagging again?

The clearing-up needs to be ended before the other party starts talking.

Ye Jiang thought to herself, then casually raised her hand.

Because it's just cleaning up ants, she really finds it hard to take it seriously.

Just then, suddenly, thick black smoke billowed out from the girl in front of them, like a surging giant snake, swirling up the flowers in the garden into the air. The delicate petals instantly turned into black poison, churning and swirling with the thick smoke.

Ye Jiang paused, then raised her eyes. This was...

Pollution.

It was silent, yet it seemed to be howling and shrieking, devouring and tearing at consciousness; this was undoubtedly Pollution.

For Ye Jiang, this level of Pollution could only be considered mild and harmless smog.

Pollution continued to emanate from the girl, enveloping the vast garden. Under the Pollution, the grass and trees turned black, swaying gently in the wind and reflecting the poisonous light.

Ye Jiang slowly withdrew her raised hand.

She stared at the girl, her tone enigmatic. "A Polluted?"

still--

monster?

The girl suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth. "Sister, you just noticed?"

She added, "He's a very powerful Polluted."

Ye Jiang: "..."

Oh, if they're Polluted, then they don't seem to have anything to do with being powerful.

Polluted...

A flicker of something crossed Ye Jiang's face. She suddenly moved closer to the girl, but this time the girl was prepared, and flower petals transformed into a rain of arrows.

Will they ultimately fight?

What a pity, such a beautiful woman.

Then...

Then let my sister become her flower!

She will cherish it.

The poisonous petals rained down on their target. The girl couldn't bear to watch and closed her eyes. This human woman was already formidable; her speed was terrifying. If it weren't for her Polluted...

Suddenly, everything became very quiet.

It was so quiet, as if the air itself had stopped moving.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes. The rain of arrows and the churning Pollution seemed to have encountered something, and they all froze in mid-air. Under the dark Sky, humans stood silently, gazing at her.

Humans said, "Put the Pollution away."

Girl: "..."

She didn't move, not because she refused, but because she was so shocked that her body lost its response.

Ye Jiang stared at her expressionlessly. Startled by her gaze, the girl looked at Ye Jiang with a complicated expression. "Sister, you..."

Seeing that she hadn't made a move, Ye Jiang released a trace of Pollution towards her.

This was the first time Ye Jiang had released Pollution since losing her memory; having regained her original form, she had finally found a way to release the Pollution.

Ye Jiang released only a wisp of her pollutant, no thicker than a hair, yet the garden was filled with the girl's Pollution, grotesque as a giant snake. However, the girl, who could release such a dense concentration of Pollution, instantly turned deathly pale, let out a muffled groan, and stumbled back several steps.

She leaned against a tree in the garden, sweating profusely as she stared at Ye Jiang, her mouth agape, speechless.

"Pollution," Ye Jiang reminded her.

The girl, trembling, carefully collected the Pollution, showing a keen sense of pragmatism.

After the Pollution disappeared, only the poisoned flower petals remained in the air. The girl tried to control the petals, but she completely lost control of them and they wouldn't move an inch.

"... Monster." The girl uttered two words.

The beautiful woman isn't human; she's a monster. This level of Pollution is definitely monstrous.

The girl suddenly laughed.

It turned out to be a monster.

That's only natural, because humans have limits; how could they possibly be that powerful?

The girl crawled forward, her eyes filled with hatred, unaware that her body was twisting and deforming. New vines wrapped around her body, growing branches and leaves, blooming flowers, and her teeth became sharp like those of a sea monster.

She turned into a monster.

Emotions were amplified uncontrollably, and hatred surged ever more fiercely.

She wanted to tear this demon apart, to gnaw on its flesh and drink its blood!

"Huh?"

The elegant lady looked down at her, seemingly surprised. She wasn't surprised that the girl had turned into a monster; what surprised her was that the girl, now a monster, still had a glimmer of clarity in her eyes.

The elegant lady became interested, and she came to the girl and knelt down in front of her:

"Child, you..."

The girl leaped up and bit the lady's neck like a wild beast.

It couldn't be bitten open.

The woman's neck was right in front of her, yet she couldn't do anything to her. The girl bit wildly like a wild beast, her teeth, though sharpened, couldn't even pierce the thin layer of flesh.

no.

no.

No!

She can't kill this demon!

The girl bit wildly.

"Child, I have a suggestion." The lady patted the girl's head indulgently, her expression gentle, but her words were harsh. "--Would you like to be my child?"

The girl paused.

She slowly raised her head.

The lady lowered her eyes and gazed at her tenderly.

The young girl looked at the lady's face and saw the interest mixed in with that false gentleness. The girl looked on in confusion, and as she looked, the clarity in her eyes diminished. Her mind seemed to be stirred up by something. Her memories of being human were fading, and her hatred was disappearing. What replaced these things in her mind was malice, murderous intent, and a bloodthirsty desire. She was inexplicably excited, to the point that her whole body trembled.

Finally, she grinned, revealing an evil smile befitting a monster.

The girl who longed to slay demons and monsters transformed herself into one.

"Sister," the girl called out, leaning against the tree, her body limp. "I was blind and didn't recognize you. I mistook you for a weak human. How rude of me!"

Ye Jiang ignored her nonsense. Her supernatural power flowed between her fingers, and the girl's gaze passed over her, landing behind her. She murmured, "... They're here."
