Who would have thought he'd be proven wrong so quickly, with a whole bunch of people contradicting him.

"Even so, the suit-wearing thugs won't get away unscathed..." Copper Ring wanted to say something to save face, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He simply turned around and said, "Let's go!"

As he turned around, he was suddenly greeted by purple lightning.

He saw a purple light flash across the neck of the man in the baseball cap, and before he could react, everything went dark.

"No, I can't die!"

"I still have lofty ambitions..."

The last thought that Tong Huan had before was plunged into the deepest, most utter darkness.

His ghostly body shattered, cut into pieces by countless purple lightning bolts, but the scene was not bloody. Before it even broke apart, it turned into a patch of yellowish-green pus.

"I killed two level 4 magic users?"

After the lightning flash, there was a pretty girl with a few cute freckles on her face.

The girl walked slowly, remaining calm, exuding a strong scholarly air. But after only a few steps, she started shouting excitedly.

"I killed them! I killed two level 4 magic users!"

"I'm that amazing!"

Zhou Xiaoning trembled with excitement, playfully flicking the purple electricity on her fingers, when she suddenly froze, staring at the thick liquid on the ground… “Ugh!”

[I killed someone? No! I killed a ghost!]

Zhou Xiaoning was particularly excited. She overheard the two ghosts chatting and thought, "Since I'm pretty fast, even if I can't beat them, I should be able to outrun them. Let's see if I can manage to slash them with my sword."

Who knew she'd just kill him? She's amazing!

And then... she killed someone (a ghost) for the first time!

Is this what it feels like to kill someone? It's disgusting, but it feels so good!

Zhou Xiaoning felt extremely confused, a mix of excitement and lingering fear. Inspired, she pulled out her notebook and quickly began to jot things down.

Yes, that's exactly the feeling!

She experienced what it felt like to kill someone firsthand!

As a professional writer, Zhou Xiaoning transforms all her feelings into words, preparing to embed them into her next novel.

When occupational hazard strikes, one simply ignores the pus and grime all over the floor.

While they were working diligently at a rapid pace, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrances of the two houses below.

Everyone looked up, staring at the two women flying in from afar. Many handsome young men seemed to remember something, gasped, and pulled out the large white flags from their luxury cars and started waving them.

Onlookers

That's right, we're just here to watch the fun!

It wasn't that they were afraid of Fang Zong; after all, what man doesn't have a bit of pride? But the shadows left by their past pursuits of Li Xiaoran or Xue Nuo made them absolutely unwilling to actually go on stage for a martial arts contest to choose a husband. Deep down, they were just looking on to watch the show and would participate if they had the chance.

But this thought completely vanished when he saw the two girls!

Just watch the show, that's all! Purely and innocently watching the show!

These two young ladies have no idea what it means to show mercy...

"clatter!"

In everyone's sight, Li Xiaoran, dressed in a very ordinary sweater and simple cloth shoes, lightly touched the arena set up at the Li family manor for the martial arts contest to find a husband.

The sound was very soft, and then a bone-chilling cold spread and permeated from the toes, freezing the entire arena with a thick layer of ice.

"My dear daughter!" a middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver, looking exceptionally wealthy, exclaimed.

She ran onto the ring, but the ice was too slippery, and she fell several times before finally reaching Li Xiaoran. She wanted to hug him, but she didn't have the courage.

She was a prostitute. When she and her daughter depended on each other for survival, she was a dutiful mother. However, after Li Xiaoran "recognized his ancestors and returned to the family," she became tempted by wealth and only thought about using Li Xiaoran to extract benefits from the Li family.

"My dear daughter, the old master of the Li family said that as long as you participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband, he will give your mother a 3,000-square-meter mansion within the Third Ring Road, as well as tens of millions of yuan in pocket money. My dear daughter, this is also to find you a good husband. Be good, okay!"

The middle-aged woman spoke quickly, then winked at the people below the ring. After hesitating for a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man went up as well.

He stood beside the middle-aged woman and said to Li Xiaoran, "Good daughter, be good."

His voice was dry and hoarse; he was afraid of Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran was just an "accident" he encountered while drunk, and he always felt very uncomfortable around Li Xiaoran.

Besides, he couldn't just say it directly:

"Be good, listen to me. If you participate in the martial arts contest to choose a husband, will the old man give me half of his inheritance?"
