But I must say...

Hu Xiaonan herself is pretty.

She is young with fair skin, and hasn't had a haircut in almost a month.

From a distance, she really does look like a short-haired little girl, no wonder Qi Wei mistook her gender.

Wu Yanfeng, Meng Wu, and the others suppressed their laughter.

Zhang Hao was also slightly taken aback.

Before he could explain anything, Hu Xiaonan burst out cursing: "Are you fucking stupid? I'm a boy! A boy! The kind with a stick, believe me or not, it'll be bigger than yours! You're blind as a bat!"

"Are your eyes made of mung beans? Why don't you just dig them out and feed them to the dog? They're useless anyway."

His insults were extremely offensive.

Having truly mastered Raven's skills, Qi Wei's underlings were enraged.

Before she could even lash out, Qi Wei licked his lips and stared intently at Hu Xiaonan with burning eyes.

"A boy? A boy would be even better, more exciting! I'd be even more excited if you wore a Lolita outfit!"

"Come on~ Follow Brother Qi, I'll treat you well. I'll buy you all kinds of sexy stockings, like fishnet stockings, glossy stockings, semi-transparent stockings, pink, flesh-colored, anything goes. From now on, you'll be the boss lady of my [Black Heart Party]!"

Hearing this made Hu Xiaonan even angrier: "What the hell! Let your old mother wear it! I'll fucking kill you, you believe it or not? I'm so angry..."

Zhang Hao also found it a bit funny.

But as the boss, he still had to consider the feelings of his team members, so he stepped forward and refused: "Don't even think about it. I will not hand over Hu Xiaonan to you."

Let's not even talk about Hu Xiaonan's intrinsic value.

He wouldn't give it to even an ordinary member.

People aren't goods, so what's the point of trading them?

"No, Brother Zhang, he's just an ordinary boy, it can't be that bad, right? Can I give him another fifty crystal cores? Is that alright? Consider it me buying him, just to give me, Qi Wei, some face." Qi Wei still wouldn't give up.

In his opinion...

Fifty crystal cores is already a pretty good price.

After all this, shouldn't you at least give me some face?

But Zhang Hao's expression was already impatient.

Wu Yanfeng could tell what was going on, so he wisely stepped forward and said, "I said no, and that's final. Who do you think you are? Does our guild leader need to give you face? Quickly clear the way and let us pass!"

Qi Wei's face darkened: "Who do you think I am? Does your Dawn Society really disregard me like this? You five dare to be so arrogant? I'm only doing this to give you face; what if I took you instead?"

"Damn it! You're bullying my boss?"

"My boss has never failed to get any woman he wants!"

"If you want to get through, hand over that little girl!"

"..."

Qi Wei's men started shouting.

Zhang Hao sighed.

Why do you have to court death?

Since you don't want to trade, I'll just have to take it for free.

"Old Wu, kill them!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

At a command.

Wu Yanfeng made his move.

He raised his hand and unleashed five ice blades, instantly killing all five people.

The remaining people didn't even have time to resist before their heads were pierced by ice blades.

I have to say...

Old Wu's method of clearing monsters is quite fast.

Seeing his men die tragically, Qi Wei gritted his teeth and said, "You really are Level 3 Awakeners. No wonder you, Zhang Hao, were able to gather so many squads and become the largest Awakener organization in Central Street."

"Since you know that, why do you still want to die? Old Wu, send him on his way." Zhang Hao said indifferently.

Wu Yanfeng nodded and swung the ice blade again.

but……

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

Before it even got close to Qi Wei, the ice blade suddenly shattered.

Wu Yanfeng looked wary, and at that moment, a red-haired girl who was less than ten years old appeared in front of Qi Wei.

The girl's face was dirty, and she was only wearing tattered clothes.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly vacant.

"Haha! You really thought I wasn't prepared at all? Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll wipe you out and take over your [Dawn Society]. From now on, the biggest organization on South Street will be my [Black Heart Party]!"

"Attack! Kill them!!"

Qi Wei stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug.

It gives off a feeling of someone who is just riding on someone else's coattails.

Upon hearing the command, the girl rushed towards them without hesitation.

"You think you can turn things around with just one girl?!"

Wu Yanfeng sneered.

Then he got entangled with the red-haired girl.

Having experienced the tragedy of the last time, he is now capable of being ruthless to anyone.

They will not show mercy even to minors.

"Take this! Ice Blade Slash, ten strikes in a row!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Wu Yanfeng loosely clenched his fists.

Ten ice blades pierced through the air and disappeared.

His continuous movement allowed the ten ice blades to completely block the girl's movement.

Even a level three awakened being would be severely injured or killed by this attack, and he was very confident that he could defeat his opponent.

However……

The red-haired girl remained motionless.

With a flick of his finger, the blood vessels of the corpse on the ground burst.

Crimson blood swirled and flowed, both alluring and eerie, deflecting all the ice blades.

Immediately afterwards, the flowing blood transformed into dozens of blood spikes, which flew towards them at great speed.

"Blood? What kind of superpower is this?!"

Wu Yanfeng's pupils constricted.

Not daring to be negligent, I decisively used the [Ice Pillar].

One after another, icicles blocked his way, but the opponent's attack exceeded his expectations.

Click! Click!

The icicles broke apart inch by inch.

Those were blood-stained thorns that landed on his body, piercing several bloody holes.

Wu Yanfeng coughed up blood, his face turning pale: "Damn it! She actually pierced through my ice pillar? Who is this red-haired girl? How can she be so powerful? Only the guild leader can probably subdue a level three awakened being of this caliber, right?"

The red-haired girl was about to strike.

At that moment, Zhang Hao's voice reached her ears.

"Red Lotus, that's enough!"

The red-haired girl stopped moving.

A look of bewilderment crossed his face as he murmured softly, "Red Lotus? It sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"Of course I recognize it, it's your name! Don't you remember?"

"Name? Yes! My name is Honglian."

A slight fluctuation appeared on the red-haired girl's blank face.

She turned to look at Zhang Hao, and hesitated before asking, "Do you know me?"

"Of course I know him."

Zhang Hao smiled.

He's more than just someone I know; he's practically a household name!

The reason he dared to return to Linhai City alone to seek revenge on Liu Yun in his previous life was because he had leveled up from level nine to level ten.

Level 10 represents "extraordinary".

This level proves that the awakened one has completed the first transformation of life.

It's not something that can be defeated by sheer numbers; back then, many [Transcendent] Awakeners appeared in Linhai City.

But the number was very small, no more than ten people, one of whom was Honglian.

Her title is—Scarlet Queen!
