Season Yueyao vowed that if given a second chance, she would never again walk while reading a book—because that was literally courting disaster!

This tragic tale of time-travel sees her que...

Chapter 126 The Dust Settles

Wei Qin's pupils contracted sharply, and he almost instinctively took a step back, his thigh bumping into the sitting man's foot. He pulled his leg back and took a step to the side, but unexpectedly, a bright red bloodstain appeared in his eyes.

It was a large pile of dismembered body parts. Wei Qin was startled at first, then immediately realized what was happening. His eyes widened, and he turned around quickly, preparing to jump out of the window, but he was too slow. The moment he took a step, the door was flung open, and several men immediately saw the scene before them: Wei Qin and Yin Longyuan were standing in Qian Wenyu's office, while Qian Wenyu was now a pile of dismembered body parts.

"Wei Qin killed Qian Wenyu!" Ji Yueyao shouted suddenly from the side of the door. Under this sharp voice, everyone seemed to wake up and consciously believed that Wei Qin was the murderer.

"Grab him!" the crowd shouted, then swarmed forward to grab Wei Qin, but Wei Qin raised his hand and a three-dimensional object flew over. The man at the front was instantly turned into a pile of minced meat without even letting out a wail.

Ji Yueyao took a half step back, her eyes flashing slightly.

"Still want to resist, sir!" Yin Longyuan exclaimed at just the right moment, which only fueled the crowd's anger even more.

Wei Qin sneered and raised his hand to use his superpower on Yin Longyuan. Yin Longyuan seemed not to have expected Wei Qin to attack him and was cut into pieces before he could even react.

This is the fate that betrayers deserve.

"Ji Yueyao, you're ruthless." Wei Qin looked at Yin Longyuan, who had instantly turned into a blood clot, and smiled coldly. Looking at the crowd around him, what else was there not to understand? He had deliberately told him all the secrets, arousing his desire to not be eliminated, and then delivered a fatal blow.

Ji Yueyao shrugged, looking completely innocent.

Taking a step back, Yin Longyuan looked at Ji Yueyao standing in the crowd, shook his head, smiled coldly, and got up to escape through the window.

A glint of pleasure flashed in Ji Yueyao's eyes. She stepped forward and swiftly used her supernatural ability at the window. Wei Qin felt a numbness in one leg, followed by a sharp pain that shot straight to his nerves.

Wei Qin lowered his eyes and saw that a leg suddenly separated from his leg, and then everyone could see that the leg was suddenly torn apart and then disappeared.

Wei Qin's center of gravity was already outside the window, and now he lost his balance and fell off the second floor without any resistance, crashing heavily to the ground below. From the moment he landed headfirst, hearing that dull thud, almost everyone thought he was dead.

Ji Yueyao leaped from the window, landing lightly beside Wei Qin. Wei Qin was still breathing; he tried to prop himself up with his arms, but perhaps due to lingering dizziness, he collapsed heavily to the ground the next second. Seeing the gaping hole in his head and the blood gushing from his forehead, Ji Yueyao ignored Wei Qin's murderous gaze and suddenly bent down.

"You've already sworn an oath, so if you keep it, there won't be any problems, right?"

The girl's clear, melodious voice now sounded like a vengeful ghost, sending chills down Wei Qin's spine. Wei Qin's eyes widened, his breathing quickening as he stared at Ji Yueyao. Ji Yueyao took a step back, then tilted her head and smiled gently, "This guy is finished. What should we do with him?"

A moment of silence fell over the crowd. They looked at each other in disbelief. The second seat, which had once been so high and mighty, was now right beneath their feet. In that instant, they felt only a sense of unreality.

"Kill him!" someone suddenly shouted.

The crowd suddenly became restless, like ripples spreading across a calm lake after a leaf falls into it. "Kill him! Kill him to avenge Lord Qian Wenyu!"

Ji Yueyao curled her lips in a mocking smile. Qian Wenyu, who was once hated, had only helped these commoners little by little. Did he really have such a big impact on them now? She didn't think so at all.

It's just that those who were once high and mighty now feel pleasure at being under their feet. Ji Yueyao crossed her arms, her figure hidden in the noise.

Tsk, just like her mood right now... she's still quite happy.

The crowd gathered around, trampling the lifeless Wei Qin without any pity. They rushed forward in righteous indignation, shouting that they wanted to avenge Qian Wenyu, who had helped them start the uprising. These people trampled on the person beneath them like madmen, as if they had a deep-seated hatred for him. In fact, if we're talking about hatred, it was Qian Wenyu who was more likely to trample on human life.

"Wei Tan is dead, retreat." On a rooftop, several men dressed in civilian clothes looked at the rioting crowd not far away and gave the order with a sigh.

They were originally sent by Lord Qin Lichang to take Wei Qin away, since Wei Qin was one of the lord's capable subordinates. However, if Wei Qin had been a few minutes later, they probably could have taken him away... Now Wei Qin is probably dead, what a pity. "Let's retreat, mission failed."

Suddenly, a gleam appeared in Wei Qin's lifeless eyes. Amidst tears of intense hatred, his hoarse, demonic voice pierced Ji Yueyao's ears, "Ji Yueyao, you vicious woman, you will die a more miserable death than I did! One day, you will suffer the same fate as me!"

Hidden in the shadows, Ji Yueyao was startled, calming the slight panic in her heart. Then she took a deep breath and walked in another direction without looking back. At this point, there was no turning back for her; her goal was to climb to higher places.

Greed is a whirlpool that exists in everyone's heart. Ji Yueyao touched her chest; the whirlpool in her heart had begun to spread endlessly.

Ugh, this damn world.

"Now it's all over, isn't it?" Wang Yingying walked over from the side, looking at Ji Yueyao who was walking forward with a smile. After so many years underground, she had finally fulfilled her dream, merging the entire Nanxiao base together. She looked around and gently curled her lips. The days ahead... shouldn't be so hard anymore, right?

"Hmm." Ji Yueyao nodded, glanced at Wang Yingying, and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yingying felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by Ji Yueyao.

Ji Yueyao turned around and looked directly at Wang Yingying, saying, "I'm very curious... how did you organize this civilian team?"

"Uh..." Wang Yingying opened her mouth, but was speechless, seemingly unwilling to bring up the topic.

Seeing this, Ji Yueyao patted Wang Yingying on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, I was just asking." Wang Yingying had just breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but her heart jumped again after hearing Ji Yueyao's next words.

"But I really don't understand why you'd attribute all the credit for leading the civilian forces to me. You don't seem like the particularly selfless person... Oh well, it doesn't really hurt me anyway. Please thank your 'master' for me." Ji Yueyao shrugged easily, then waved to Wang Yingying before turning and continuing on her way. But only Ji Yueyao knew that the smile on her face completely vanished the moment she turned away. (To be continued.)
