Lian Han didn't really want to talk to Ming Yu, so his attention quickly shifted to the nearby Zerg. By this time, most of the guests who could leave had already gone.
Those who couldn't retreat in time also worked together with Ling Wei, Ling Yue, Rong Qi, and some volunteer scions of noble families to delay the insectoids and protect them.
The one who made the biggest commotion was Ruan Muxue. These insectoids were indeed weaker than the group they had encountered in Shengqin. They were incredibly skilled with their intermediate-level cards and had already taken down two of them with Ling Yue's help. They were far from what Ruan's mother had described and were definitely not weak at all.
As for Ling's eldest brother, Lian Han couldn't find him for a while.
Suddenly, Lian Han frowned and scanned the second floor with his spiritual power. Ming Yu, standing beside him, was surprised; it turned out that she was already S-rank at this point.
This spiritual energy came and went quickly, and because Lian Han's spiritual energy was rare and colorless, almost no one noticed anything unusual.
But as soon as she withdrew her mental energy, a strange thing happened. A room on the second floor suddenly opened, and a little fox ran out, jumped directly from upstairs into the living room, and then frantically threw itself into Lian Han's arms, seemingly frightened.
Then, a dark gold card appeared, and the black chains on it disappeared one by one. Then Liz appeared, her vertical pupils flashing red, exuding a murderous aura. "Damn bugs!"
Her fingernails grew rapidly, and with a single claw, she ripped out a heart. Giving no chance to react, Liz charged into the swarm of humans—no, the insects—ignoring the trembling they felt due to her imposing presence, and swiftly ended the battle.
In an instant, the living room was covered in the dark green blood of the Zerg.
Ming Yu's first reaction was to look at Lian Han. Although she didn't say anything, the obvious doubt and questioning in her eyes were no different from her own.
Lian Han: ...This is truly beyond her control. Heaven knows how Liz, who has been relying on sleep to recover her strength recently, could suddenly wake up! Even her previous mental power couldn't stop Liz from emerging, so she had to resort to a simple disguise, making it seem as if the previous Liz hadn't broken the seal.
"It must be because of the aura of the Zerg," Old Xing said quietly. "Your reaction isn't slow, girl."
I'm just betting that others don't know much about your character card.
[But you bet right. Even if that bastard checks the surveillance footage later, he won't be able to determine whether Liz broke the seal herself or someone else did.]
Seeing this blood-soaked scene, even the precocious Han felt nauseous. [So what deep-seated hatred does Liz have for these insectoids?]
[Creating a character card requires the willingness of the living being involved. To what extent do you think it would take for her to willingly become someone else's card and be forever controlled by them?]
Lian Han remained silent. To what extent? If it were her, she probably truly couldn't go on living, and was utterly disappointed in her family and friends.
As Lian Han thought this to himself, he became more accustomed to looking at Liz.
After Liz killed the last Zergling, she finally realized the extent of her bloodshed. She pulled the tablecloth to wipe her hands clean, walked step by step to Lian Han's side, and knelt down on one knee.
"You frightened Master, didn't you? The hearts of these insects are the most delicious. How about I use them to calm Master's nerves later?" Liz said, taking Lian Han's hand to kiss it. After all this, there wasn't a trace of blood on her body except for her hand.
Lian Han, who already disliked eating insect meat, withdrew her hand. "No need. You should get up, Liz."
Not being able to kiss her master's little hand, Liz seemed a little disappointed. She stood up and pouted, "How annoying! I was forced to sleep for so long before my strength was fully restored, and the first thing I saw when I woke up was bugs. These inferior creatures are always so annoying! And that guy who took the sealing card, I hope I never run into him again! Otherwise, I'll definitely skin him alive!"
Those still in the living room were all physically strong, so even if Liz muttered softly, they could hear her. The confused remained confused, the horrified remained horrified, but some also understood…
Lian Han, however, asked the old man with a hint of suspicion, "You said before that Liz had no intelligence? You cooperated very well!"
[No, no, no. After Liz killed the Zerg, she just liked to complain. And when she said sleep and wake up, she meant actually sleep and wake up, but that's a matter of personal interpretation. And about the banned cards—]
Old Xing paused for a moment, then said, "[You refused Liz's hand-kissing gift, so she's in a bad mood. When she's in a bad mood, she likes to bring up old grievances. And the ones who recently offended her are the banning card group.]"
It was just a perfect coincidence.
Lian Han: ...
Although Lian Han had said that she could call her by her name, Liz still addressed her as "Master" in public, saying, "Master, it's too messy here, let's go back to our room."
Lian Han glanced at everyone in the living room. Before anyone could answer, Li Zi picked up the fox in her arms and threw it away. Then, in a princess carry, she jumped up to the second floor with Lian Han in her arms.
The rejected fox, Xingyan: ...But that's her master too! You bad person!
Looking at her niece's closed door, Ling Wei frowned and looked at Ling Yue, who shook her head at her, "Don't worry about it."
Having confirmed that the card wouldn't harm Lian Han, Ling Wei smiled apologetically at the few people remaining in the living room, "I'm so sorry to have startled you all and to have troubled you with your help."
“We can’t blame Madam. These kinds of insectoid beings are truly hateful; even the machines can’t detect anything unusual,” Ruan Muxue said. “However, that character card is indeed worthy of His Majesty’s card; it’s so powerful.”
"Exactly. Next time they release character cards, we'll have to get one to match your status as a young lady. But please don't make another mistake." The blue-haired youth said teasingly.
