Jiang Yuetong only realized after her rebirth that she was in a book world.
Recalling her fate as a cannon fodder villainess in her previous life, she felt unwilling to accept it.
She, ...
She stared warily at Li Qingrong, took a few steps back cautiously, and asked timidly, "Who...who are you? Why are you in this room?"
Li Qingrong gave her an ambiguous look, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she said, "Of course, I am someone who can help you."
The girl's back was pressed against the door; she had nowhere to escape.
"Liar! You must have been sent by the island lord. Let me tell you, I would rather die than submit to that bastard!"
After speaking, the girl gathered spiritual energy in her fingers and struck her forehead.
Li Qingrong cried out in alarm, "No!"
She reached out to stop them, but it was too late.
Blood and tears streamed down the girl's face. She tilted her head and fell to the ground with a thud, dying with her eyes wide open.
Jiang Yuetong, who had been hiding in the corner, stepped out and looked coldly at the girl lying on the ground.
"She looks delicate, but she has quite a strong personality."
Li Qingrong lowered her eyes and blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault. I didn't realize she wanted to commit suicide."
Jiang Yuetong said calmly, "It's to be expected. She has already been abandoned by her family. If she doesn't comply with the wishes of their island lord, this girl will only have one way out: death."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong turned to look at her: "Then what should we do next?"
"Naturally, we should find another bait to trick the island lord into revealing the way to Youyin Island. If all else fails, we can kidnap him and beat him up."
Li Qingrong: "..."
That makes sense. If one beating isn't enough, then two beatings will do.
At this moment, the old man appeared and said, "But none of us have spiritual power right now, how can we deal with the island lord of Youyin Island?"
Jiang Yuetong glanced at him, her red lips curving slightly as she said, "Then what are your brilliant ideas? Tell me about them."
Old man: "..."
I'm so angry, I just want to turn around and leave.
If this place hadn't changed so much, and he couldn't find it on the map, and if this girl's cultivation level weren't higher than his, he wouldn't have followed a little girl around like this.
The old man snapped out of his thoughts and immediately chuckled, "Thinking about it carefully, what you said makes sense. If we capture that island lord and torture him, we'll surely get some information out of him."
He said that, but in his heart he was thinking: He has no spiritual power and can't help, so he won't get involved in capturing people.
Just as I was thinking that, another person suddenly appeared in the room.
The group immediately became alert.
Jiang Yuetong glanced at it indifferently, then reached out and took the thing that Shi Xin handed over.
"Master, just wear this jade pendant on your body."
Those who had never seen a Heart Eater before breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this title; they had just thought this person was the island lord of Youyin Island.
I was almost scared to death.
As soon as the old man saw the jade pendant in Jiang Yuetong's hand, he remembered what Lu Shi'an had said earlier.
“Girl, this jade pendant…”
"There are only four of these jade tokens. If you want them, go and take them yourselves." Jiang Yuetong didn't even look up, examining the crescent-shaped, translucent jade token in her hand.
Then he distributed one to everyone around him.
Old man: "..."
Song Yunqian: "..."
"Giving them to me would be better than giving them to me. My strength is far superior to theirs, and I can definitely be of great help to you."
"Help me?" Jiang Yuetong smiled.
She turned her head to look at the old man and continued, "You don't need to help me with this. I don't want to split things 30/70 with others. You should rest now!"
The old man was furious.
Judging from her words, she clearly wants to keep it all for herself!
No way! That treasure land was told to him by his master, who also said there were plenty of good things there, enough for him to be rich for a lifetime without having to fight or compete.
