In her hazy state of consciousness, a silver-white flame mark suddenly appeared on her forehead, and a cluster of flames emerged from her empty dantian.
The bird egg she was holding in her bosom grew increasingly hot, waking her from her dazed state.
Qi Yu suddenly opened her eyes and found that the Pharmacist Wang, with his eyes full of lust, was about to take off her clothes.
That lecherous old man dared to make a move on her!
She kicked the pharmacist away forcefully, her eyes reflecting the raging fire. No longer under the influence of the drug, her drowsy and delirious state was ignited by the flames within her. She sensed that strange spark and, without any instruction, summoned a wisp of flame from her fingertips.
With a wave of her hand, the flames transformed into a small fire phoenix that rushed toward Pharmacist Wang!
When Pharmacist Wang saw that Qi Yu was unaffected by the drug he had carefully prepared, he was greatly surprised and hurriedly broke down the door to escape.
The fire phoenix obeyed Qi Yu's wishes and nimbly chased after Pharmacist Wang.
Wan Jiayu, who was standing quietly waiting outside the door, turned around when she heard the noise and saw the naked, fat Pharmacist Wang being chased by a strange fire phoenix. Then, a girl with silver flame patterns flashing on her forehead stepped out of the door with anger. In a flash, she realized what had just happened.
He rushed to Qi Yu's side, unsure how to comfort the girl who had almost been humiliated, and blamed himself for not paying close attention to what was happening inside the door.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably have already been defiled.
Qi Yu was unaware of Wan Jiayu's inner thoughts, only feeling that with the movements of the fire phoenix, the already limited spiritual power in her body was being rapidly depleted.
The fire phoenix let out a cry and bit Wang Yaoshi's right hand, the flames slowly engulfing his fingers.
The places engulfed by flames turned to ashes and vanished into the air.
Looking at his right middle finger, which had vanished, Pharmacist Wang cried out in anguish.
"Quick, quick, save me!!"
The commotion alerted other disciples of Qiankun Fortress, and a large group of people who were unaware of the situation gathered in the courtyard. They did not recognize Qi Yu, but when they saw that Pharmacist Wang was being burned, they all rushed to help put out the fire.
One of the disciples used a water talisman to drench Wang Yaoshi, making him completely soaked. However, the flames were unaffected and continued to slowly devour him, eventually swallowing Wang Yaoshi's entire arm.
Several more people tried to help put out the fire, but to no avail. They were all shocked by the strange power of the fire phoenix.
"What kind of technique is this? It burned a person's hand away! It's too cruel!"
"That fire is very strange. Could this woman be a demonic cultivator?"
"The immortals have all gone out to search for the escaped demons, what should we do?!"
"Quickly use the communication jade talisman to call for help!"
Amidst the commotion, the fire phoenix had completely engulfed Pharmacist Wang, leaving only ashes on the ground. Satisfied, the fire phoenix circled once in the air before flying back into Qi Yu's body.
A gentle breeze stirred the ashes on the ground, causing them to drift and sway, and the courtyard fell into a profound stillness.
"Pharmacist Wang, Pharmacist Wang is dead..."
The Pharmacist Wang's heart-wrenching screams before his death shook the crowd. They looked at Qi Yu in fear and drew their weapons.
Qi Yu was also astonished by the power of the fire phoenix. This fire phoenix that had inexplicably appeared in her body had nothing to do with the system, nor with the original owner. It could only be related to Feng Xiao.
Whether this is good or bad is unknown, but at least it allows her to face evil people without surrendering.
The cold glint of the weapon flashed in Qi Yu's eyes. Looking at the eyes of these people, she felt only ridicule. It was clearly Pharmacist Wang who had ulterior motives, but when she fought back, she was instead labeled a demonic cultivator.
She summoned the Sword of Compassion to confront them, and as the tension rose, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice echoed in her mind:
[Host detected killing someone, merit -1, host will be punished. System punishment: cannot use the Holy Mother Aura to heal.]
A sharp pain struck, a pain that went straight to the depths of her soul. A line of thick black blood flowed from the corner of Qi Yu's mouth. She was in a daze for a moment, then knelt down on the ground, as if she had been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and then put into a vat of boiling oil.
She was a very pain-tolerant person. Even when she was injured by the merman's claws or Li An's sword intent, she could endure it. However, the system's punishment was completely different from the physical pain. It made her mind go blank. Although she was not injured, she was suffering unimaginable pain.
Seeing Qi Yu's abnormal state, everyone hesitated to approach, fearing that she might go mad and kill again.
At this moment, a sword whistle came from afar, and Li An, who had followed Master Dingfeng to capture the demon, returned on his sword.
He jumped off his sword, pointed it at Qi Yu, and shouted, "This witch tried to seduce Pharmacist Wang but failed, so she cruelly burned him to death with demonic fire!"
"This is an insult to Qiankun Fortress! I already severely injured her. Everyone, capture her and avenge Pharmacist Wang!!"
He was the first to rush towards Qi Yu.
Seeing Li An take the lead, everyone rushed towards Qi Yu!
At this moment, Qi Yu was still struggling against inhuman pain and had no time to care about anything else.
In the nick of time, the bird egg in her arms suddenly cracked open, and a powerful force formed a wave of energy that directly stunned those who rushed towards her.
The only sound in the courtyard was Qi Yu's painful groans.
The bird egg floated in the air, its shell cracking open to reveal a small, pure white bird. The bird opened its eyes, its pupils turning crimson. It looked around in bewilderment, then fixed its gaze on Qi Yu with a clear purpose, and gave her a soft chirp.
It flapped its wings and flew to Qi Yu's trembling shoulder, nuzzling her cheek affectionately in a comforting manner.
[Punishment complete. Host, please cease your killing spree, uphold a kind heart, and spread love throughout the world!]
Qi Yu lowered her eyes, her eyelashes glistening with a few teardrops, finally recovering from the terrifying hell.
The system's words were incredibly sarcastic, but she didn't have the energy to argue anymore and calmly accepted this backstabbing teammate.
