Chapter 177 "But I just don't believe in fate."
Situ Yu’s words suddenly flashed through Sheng Jieyue’s mind—"She was the person in her previous life."
A terrible thought instantly seized her, making her feel cold all over.
Since Sheng Ran can be reincarnated, it means that she is no longer a simple cannon fodder.
Plus, she has awakened so many abilities, could it be...
——No, impossible!
No matter how many worlds they go through, she and Situ Yu are the protagonists through and through and cannot be replaced!
At this moment, the runes on the ground suddenly flashed violently, the black gas surged even more violently, and the vines around Sheng Ran suddenly tightened, as if sensing a greater danger.
From the depths of the thick fog, several familiar voices were heard. They were the anxious cries of Sheng Ran's beastly husbands: "Wife! Where are you!"
Sheng Jieyue's face suddenly changed. She knew she couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, the formation might be broken by them.
She stared at Sheng Ran intently, a ferocity flashing in her eyes, and her tail feathers suddenly fanned towards the vine barrier. At the same time, a ball of black air ten times larger than before condensed in her palm.
Countless tiny poisonous insects could be vaguely seen wriggling in the black air. "So what if it's your own ability! I must kill you today!"
The black energy, with the power to destroy the world, slammed into the vine barrier.
This time, Sheng Ran did not dodge.
A burst of green light appeared at her fingertips and spread along the vines.
The vines that were originally glowing suddenly became as hard as steel!
The black gas hit the barrier, making a harsh "sizzling" sound. A large amount of black gas was absorbed and purified by the vines, turning into white mist and dissipating, while the vines only swayed slightly and were completely unharmed!
[Host, this really works! I discovered a new value in your dashboard called Vitality! This should represent the energy in your body!]
As soon as the system finished speaking, it seemed to have received better news, exclaiming twice in surprise, and then quickly announced—
[Ding! The host demonstrates independent fighting spirit and unlocks the plant manipulation active skill "Vine Blade"]
"Ah, if I had known the beastmen weren't around to urge you to fully activate this skill! I would have told them to stop guarding you so tightly!"
Sheng Ran also excitedly clenched her palms, trying to feel the flow of energy in her body.
This is an ability that belongs entirely to her. From now on, she can protect herself on her own!
Sheng Jieyue looked at this scene, her pupils suddenly shrank, she staggered back half a step and bumped into the rock behind her.
How could it be possible? The evil power she had spent most of her cultivation on was easily dissolved by Sheng Ran's plants?
Sheng Ran slowly raised her hand, and the vines around her body rose up along with her gesture, like a sharp sword ready to be struck, pointing directly at Sheng Jieyue.
The green light at the fingertips became brighter and brighter, even dispersing the thick fog a little.
Just as she was about to order the vines to attack, Situ Yu's cold voice suddenly came from a distance: "Sheng Ran! Fight me if you dare!"
Before he finished speaking, a blue-gray wind blade broke through the thick fog and slashed through the vine barrier.
The wind blade was wrapped with dense green poisonous needles, and the unique cold breath of the snake beast came towards him.
Compared to wind-related abilities, Situ Yu is better at poison.
Sheng Ran subconsciously dodged to the side, and her eyes met Situ Yu's half-beast snake eyes.
The pupils were slit, emitting an icy light, and this look made Sheng Ran feel extremely familiar.
At this moment, she was certain that Situ Yu was her boss who had always been unhappy with her and against her in her previous life.
There were only three of them on the field, and it seemed as if a mysterious and terrifying magnetic field had formed inexplicably.
Sheng Ran's heart suddenly sank, and fragments of memories from her previous life surged back.
She raised herself alone, holding a brand new college acceptance letter, and relied on her own efforts to succeed and was admitted to a prestigious university.
After entering the society, she often stayed up late at the company to revise plans. Relying on one project after another, she climbed from the bottom to the edge of promotion, but the director position that should have belonged to her was snatched away by Situ Yu who suddenly came in.
He tore up her proposal in public, saying, "Grassroots will never amount to anything." He secretly snatched away her clients and made her take the blame for the project's failure...
Sheng Jieyue, who was Situ Yu's girlfriend at the time, always gave her orders in the name of "president's assistant", secretly deleted her work files, and spread rumors in the tea room that she "got promoted through improper relationships".
"Oh, so you are afraid of snakes." Situ Yu caught her panic and raised the corner of his mouth with the same arrogant smile as in his previous life.
The snake's tail swept across the ground, and poisonous needles rained down. "I told you before, some things can't be obtained by just working hard."
"Rob?" Sheng Ran gritted her teeth, a green light trembling on her fingertips. "I only know that some people are born to like to take the fruits of others' labor, and even their methods are just as despicable."
She deliberately emphasized the words "fruits of labor" and stared at Situ Yu intently - he must have also remembered his previous life, otherwise he would not have used such rhetoric to provoke her.
Seeing this, Sheng Jieyue immediately filled in the gap, and the black energy in her palm condensed into a snake shape. "Ayu, don't waste your words on her! This ignorant person should be taught his own worth."
Her tail feathers fluttered, and black energy wrapped around the vines. "Some people always think they can climb high if they work hard, but they forget that they are not destined to do that."
These words were like needles, piercing Sheng Ran's heart. In her previous life, she was like this, being ridiculed by them for her lowly background and wishful thinking.
In the end, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself before he was smashed to pieces in the "accidental" car accident they arranged.
She couldn't understand until her death why she became a thorn in their eyes when she just wanted to survive with her own hands?
Sheng Ran sneered and urged the vine blade to counterattack, but because of her instinctive fear of snakes, she was half a beat slower. Her arm was scratched by the poison needle and numbness spread instantly. "But I just don't believe in fate."
Situ Yu's eyes glared, and he whipped his snake tail towards her wrist. "You're so sharp-tongued! Today I'll show you what happens when you offend us!"
The two of them attacked from the left and right, cooperating with each other very well - just like when they joined forces to suppress her in the previous life.
Situ Yu's wind blade tore through the vines' defense, and the poison needles targeted her weaknesses; Sheng Jieyue's black energy was sticky and difficult to deal with, and every time it wrapped around the vines, it corroded them into a charred area.
Sheng Ran's vitality was constantly being consumed, the green light in her palm was getting weaker and weaker, the poison from the wound spread along her blood vessels, and her vision began to blur.
She leaned against the tree trunk, looking at Situ Yu's arrogant face and Sheng Jieyue's hypocritical smile, and despair gradually crept into her heart.
Is she going to die at the hands of these two people in this life?
"It's almost done." Sheng Jieyue looked at Sheng Ran's shaky appearance, and a smile of confidence appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Ayu, give her a break, so as not to pollute the land of Danxue Mountain."
Situ Yu nodded, raised his snake tail high, and aimed at Sheng Ran's chest with its spikes shining coldly.
"Die!"
Sheng Ran closed her eyes, the faces of the beastly husbands and the smiles of the people in the west of the city flashed through her mind, and her heart was filled with resentment.
She had clearly awakened her abilities, and was no longer that useless bitch at the mercy of others, so why was she still...
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air pierced the thick fog!
Several black feathers shot out like sharp blades, accurately hitting Situ Yu's snake tail.
The snake's tail felt pain and suddenly retracted, its sharp thorns brushing against Sheng Ran's hair, bringing up a gust of wind.
"Who?!" Situ Yu roared.
Sheng Jieyue was so shocked that she took a step back and looked vigilantly into the depths of the thick fog - the Gu formation was still running, how could someone break in?
