A moment later, a disheveled woman appeared by the stream, laughing wildly with her head thrown back! Her expression was one of extreme excitement as she looked at her leg, which had healed, leaving only a light pink scar, and laughed ecstatically.
Hearing her laughter from afar, Xiao Muyue was instantly furious. Her grandmother had died because of her, and yet she was still laughing so happily!
"You bad guy! You're a big bad guy!"
The little girl yelled at the woman, completely forgetting her earlier terror.
Upon hearing the sound, Tian Tian slowly turned around. The original scar had been replaced by a layer of light pink new skin. Although it still looked strange, it was much better than before! Her tattered clothes couldn't hide her beauty and arrogance. She looked at Xiao Muyue with disdain.
"I never said I was a good person! Wasn't it all your wishful thinking that you wanted to save me? Ha! That woman tried to save me before she died, but I just used my inner strength to break the iron lock! She had a shocked expression on her face when she died, it was disgusting!"
This blatant betrayal stunned Peony and Little Muyue, especially the profound impact it had on the little girl's heart! She begged her grandmother to save someone, but in the end, her grandmother died because of this person, which meant that she had essentially killed her grandmother?!
Just as the two were speechless with anger, a familiar sarcastic voice came from afar.
"Yeah, you know you're disgusting..."
The words instantly shocked everyone outside the cave. Xiao Muyue and Shaoyao looked towards the cave entrance with surprise and joy, while Tian Tian was speechless with disbelief...
"You...you!"
Then Xiao Muxing's angry and disgusted voice rang out.
"You wicked woman! How dare you bully my sister! I must have been blind to let Grandma save you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, three figures slowly emerged from the dark door. Qin Qing, who should have been dead, held Xiao Muxing and looked at Tian Tian with a cold and sarcastic gaze. Qin Zifeng stood aside without saying a word.
The appearance of the three people startled Tian Tian, who retreated several steps. Upon seeing this, Xiao Muyue rushed out of Shaoyao's arms and grabbed Qin Qing's leg, crying her heart out!
"Wow! Grandma! Waaah..."
Seeing this, Qin Qing bent down and put Xiao Muxing down, reached out and wiped Xiao Muyue's face, and smiled.
"Why are you crying... Grandma is alright, isn't she?"
Seeing the family reunited not far away, Tian Tian felt extremely awkward. Her face turned cold, and a murderous intent rose in her heart!
"Isn't it better to die inside? You'll die anyway when you come out, it'll just mean a few more people will be buried with you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing calmly raised her head, her eyes turning slightly blue as a surge of anger welled up within her!
"I can save you, and I can kill you!"
Qin Zifeng, who was closest to her, was the first to notice the change in Qin Qing's eyes. Before he could even be surprised, Tian Tian rushed over and reached out to grab Qin Qing's neck with one hand.
Qin Qing's expression tightened as he watched her movements. He quickly drew a scalpel with his right hand, but suddenly hesitated. Just as Tian Tian approached, he dodged and slashed the scalpel forcefully in her direction...
The sharp blade sliced across Tian Tian's arm, and blood spurted out instantly. The excruciating pain made her scream!
"ah!"
Immediately afterwards, she landed quickly, covering her wound with one hand, staring at Qin Qing in shock, unable to believe that the woman could be so fast.
Qin Qing was also very surprised. Just as Tian Tian rushed towards her, she felt that the speed was not fast. In fact, at the moment when Tian Tian reached out to get close to her, her body seemed to be very agile. With a slight twist, she dodged Tian Tian's attack and easily countered!
Tian Tian also noticed the abnormality at this moment, looking at Qin Qing's eyes in disbelief.
"You...your eyes...could it be! You also touched the Corpse-Scented Devil's Flower?"
Qin Qing was taken aback. Seeing that her shocked expression didn't seem fake, she turned to look at the others and saw that Shaoyao and the others also looked surprised. She finally realized that something was wrong.
She casually pulled out a mirror from her spatial storage and stared in astonishment at the beautiful woman with fair skin and captivating charm reflected in it. Her face was still the same, but her eyes had inexplicably turned a light blue, clear and sparkling, looking both incredibly beautiful and... eerie!
As a modern person, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, colored contact lenses are very popular nowadays, and they come in all colors, including red, yellow, and green! The light blue one looked pretty good.
Tian Tian was completely stunned when she saw her suddenly conjure up a mirror...
Only then did she notice that Qin Qing's clothes were very neat. The light blue chiffon dress outlined her shapely figure, her fair skin looked very sexy, and her black hair was draped behind her. She didn't look like a woman who was almost forty years old at all!
Recalling her behavior of constantly taking out water and food from the carriage these past few days, yet never replenishing the supplies, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind! She stared wide-eyed at Qin Qing.
"You...you..."
The image was so clear that it caught Qin Qing's eye, and she also noticed Tian Tian's purple eyes at that moment.
Coupled with the words she uttered in her shock, Qin Qing instantly understood everything! The change in her eye color must have been due to accidentally touching the pollen produced by the Corpse Fragrance Arum. He wondered what kind of mutated strain it was, that it had such an effect!
But why are she different from Tian Tian?
Tian Tian, who was on the ground, also thought of this and looked at Qin Qing angrily, accusing him.
"The Corpse-Scented Devil's Tongue is a product of my clan, and only members of my clan can use it. What are you, a peasant woman? Today I will kill you to honor the ancestors of my clan!"
These words were utterly laughable to Qin Qing. Seeing Tian Tian attack again, she could only dodge quickly. The light reflected from the blade swirled in her hand, slicing through Tian Tian's body again and again! The pain only fueled her anger!
Finally, after Qin Qing was covered in bloodstains, Tian Tian backed away, feeling both jealous and incredulous at Qin Qing's transformation.
Qin Qing was also startled by her own change, but seeing Tian Tian's surprised expression, she felt somewhat astonished.
Why is it that even though Tian Tian's scars have disappeared and her leg injuries have healed, she doesn't seem to be as sharp in combat as others? Could it be that this mutant strain produces different results depending on each person's constitution?
Upon seeing her background, Tian Tian dragged herself away in another direction without saying a word. Qin Qing quickly followed. The two of them had already formed a grudge, and keeping this person around was a potential threat. This time, she was determined to kill Tian Tian!
After chasing each other for a while, Qin Qing still lost track of Tian Tian. After all, Tian Tian knew the legendary martial arts, so her running skills and internal strength were definitely better than Qin Qing's. On the other hand, although Qin Qing was not particularly tired, he just couldn't keep up.
