The bald man clearly felt a chilling killing intent, but having a little girl hold a knife to his throat was an intolerable insult to him. "You're asking for it!"
"..." Ji Yueyao glanced coldly at the struggling bald man in front of her, raised her dagger and slit his throat.
Watching the splattering blood, Ji Yueyao felt a strange sense of excitement. After all… this wasn't the first time she'd killed someone.
"Master Wu!" the people around exclaimed, and then one by one they rushed towards Ji Yueyao like moths to a flame.
Ji Yueyao could handle one person at a time without any problem, but when faced with so many people rushing at her at the same time, she decisively threw the already dead bald man to the ground and then quickly retreated... using her superpower.
In a mere instant, a blinding crimson light burst forth before Ji Yueyao's eyes, and then in the next breath, everything vanished. In the final moment, she seemed to see an eyeball bursting out of its head.
"Tsk, didn't you look down on women?" Ji Yueyao looked at the bald man lying on the ground, took a light breath, and used her superpower again. The bald man's body instantly twisted and cracked, and then disappeared.
"What a useful superpower." Ji Yueyao raised her hand to look at her blood-covered body, sniffed uncomfortably, and decided to go back and take a shower first.
After a few steps into the house, they saw Wang Yingjie in front of the termite. Although his face was pale, his breathing had become even.
"Is he alright?" Ji Yueyao glanced at Wang Yingjie and asked softly.
"It's alright now," Bai Yi chuckled, but his expression changed drastically when he turned around and saw Ji Yueyao covered in blood. "Captain, shall I check you over first?" Good heavens! If the adults found out he was covered in blood, he wouldn't even have any bones left!
“I already told you I’m fine…” Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"I have to check it!" Bai Yi said righteously and resolutely, so much so that Ji Yueyao didn't want to say anything more. She just wanted to take a shower as soon as possible.
The termites used their supernatural abilities to thoroughly examine Ji Yueyao, and only after confirming that she was truly alright did they breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, her life was saved.
Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow as she watched the termites thriving and jumping around. After confirming that Wang Yingjie was alright, she turned around and went to take a shower.
"Captain, you're back!" Just as Ji Yueyao was about to step into the bedroom, Lin Xuan suddenly appeared from somewhere. When he saw Ji Yueyao covered in blood, he froze for a moment, then excitedly rushed over and grabbed Ji Yueyao's shoulders. "Captain... what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood... Bai Yi, what is Bai Yi doing?!"
"..." Ji Yueyao looked down at the bloodstains on her clothes and sighed speechlessly, "Lin Xuan, don't get agitated, this isn't my blood."
"Whose blood is that? Could it be mine?! Quickly let the termites come and see!" Lin Xuan was clearly very emotional at this moment. His body, which had just woken up, was obviously not suitable for such extreme emotions. So after Lin Xuan's roar, Ji Yueyao clearly noticed that there was an abnormal flush on his face.
"Termite." Ji Yueyao looked helplessly at Termite, who was watching the commotion in the hall. Judging from his current appearance, he was probably just missing a pair of glasses to come and buy popcorn. Raising an eyebrow slightly, Ji Yueyao glanced at him indifferently. Termite immediately fawned over and stopped the excited Lin Xuan, "Lin Xuan, that's not Ji Yueyao's blood, it's his blood."
Bai Yi pointed to Wang Yingjie lying on the sofa, then gave Ji Yueyao an almost fawning smile.
Lin Xuan stared blankly at Wang Yingjie lying on the sofa, then turned to look at Ji Yueyao, his eyes filled with doubt, "Then... Captain, are you alright?"
"Nothing's wrong." Ji Yueyao calmly patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, and only after noticing that his breathing had stabilized did she turn around with satisfaction and prepare to walk towards the room.
Then, just as Ji Yueyao stepped into the room... Kaqi came out.
"Captain!" Kachi's excited voice echoed throughout the room, almost shattering Ji Yueyao's eardrums.
"Captain, why are you covered in blood?!"
"..." Damn it... Ji Yueyao silently shed tears in her heart. She wanted to take a shower! Looking down at the bloodstains on her upper body, she suddenly wondered if she had let Wu Yun's brother die too easily.
Soon it got dark, and Kaqi quietly went to prepare dinner, while Ji Yueyao and the others read on the sofa. Wang Yingjie was still asleep, but his complexion had become much rosier.
"Knock knock—"
There was a sudden knock on the door. The termite closed the book and placed it on the table before opening the door.
Lin Xuan looked towards the door with some curiosity. "Who could be here so late?"
"Who knows?" Termite shrugged, then cautiously opened the door a crack. "Who is it?"
"Oh, I'm Yin Longyuan, the fifth seat holder. I've come to pay a visit to the newly appointed twentieth seat holder, Lin Xuan." Yin Longyuan's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled.
"The Fifth Seat has graced us with his presence," White Ant replied somewhat perfunctorily, then took a step back and opened the door.
Lin Xuan looked up and noticed it was Yin Longyuan. He asked with some surprise, "I wonder what brings the Fifth Seat here?"
"Why don't you make friends with our newly appointed twenty seats?" Yin Longyuan said directly.
Lin Xuan blinked, then turned his gaze to Ji Yueyao.
Why are you looking at me like that? Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes silently while sitting on the sofa. Yin Longyuan's intentions were already quite obvious, weren't they?
"Ji Yueyao, I originally thought you would personally challenge for the 20th seat." Yin Longyuan walked in as if no one else was there, seemingly casually glancing at Lin Xuan sitting at the table and Bai Yi who opened the door, then smiled kindly and sat down opposite Ji Yueyao.
“If you have anything to say… you should talk to Lin Xuan.” Ji Yueyao pointed to Lin Xuan, who was sitting upright on the sofa, staring straight at Yin Longyuan.
“I thought Lin Xuan listened to you.” Yin Longyuan stroked his chin and smiled at Ji Yueyao.
"Oh, oh." Ji Yueyao continued reading her book, without denying Yin Longyuan's words.
Yin Longyuan didn't seem inclined to say much. He squinted at Ji Yueyao, who continued reading, clearly displeased. However, this displeasure was quickly suppressed. Xia Yaoxuan had agreed to a long-term cooperation, which was indeed very good news for them. So even though Ji Yueyao was ignoring him, he managed to hold back his anger. He handed over an invitation, trying to make his voice sound gentle, "There's a gathering with twenty tables in three days. I hope you can bring this invitation to attend."
Ji Yueyao glanced at the invitation and gestured for Lin Xuan to take it.
Yin Longyuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Ji Yueyao had accepted the invitation. She was quite sensible. "Then I'll be going now. I hope you'll be there. I have high expectations for you." (To be continued.)
