"What?" Zhao Shao's eyes widened suddenly, thinking he had misheard.
The same was true for the others in the audience in front of him.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw behind Zhao Shao.
Then, Lin Qixia emerged from the fire.
Lin Qixia walked up to Zhao Shao, who was already stunned.
She turned to face him and slowly curved her lips into a smile.
Are you stupid? She has a system.
In critical moments, the system becomes her second line of defense, even though it cost her 500 gold coins to use the transparent fireproof shield function once.
There are 220 gold coins left in the account.
But it's worth it, after all, it's to save your life.
"You, you—how could you still be alive?" For a moment, Zhao Shao thought he had seen a ghost.
How could she be resurrected under those circumstances, or rather, how could she not be burned to death at all?
Zhao Shao started to question the meaning of life.
Below the stage, He Zhilan, who had already lost hope, burst into tears of joy when she saw Lin Qixia emerge unharmed from the fire: "That's wonderful! Xia'er, you're alright!"
"This is simply..." Lin Jiudong looked at Lin Qixia on the stage in disbelief.
Of course, everyone present felt the same way.
Lin Qixia then lifted her foot and slowly walked towards Zhao Shao.
"You! Don't come any closer!" Zhao Shao was so frightened by her sudden chilling aura that he kept backing away.
At the same time, perhaps due to shock, the expression on his already ugly face became somewhat manic. "Hahaha! No! This isn't right! You're definitely not Lin Qixia!"
"No, no, no—you are Lin Qixia! You are a witch!"
Lin Qixia: "Witch? You previously boasted that you would use fire to get rid of me, this witch, but fire couldn't kill me!"
"You said I destroyed everyone's wheat seedlings, but now the evidence is right in front of you, I didn't destroy them."
"Hey Zhao, which of your statements is true?"
"Or are you going to come up with this despicable frame-up scheme purely to harm me?"
As she spoke, she approached step by step, and Zhao Shao was forced into a position where he had nowhere to retreat.
"Ahhh, I'll fight you to the death!" A murderous glint flashed in Zhao Shao's eyes as he prepared to perish together with Lin Qixia.
The villagers below the stage gasped in shock at what they saw.
Seeing him rush over, Lin Qixia kicked him in the nick of time.
Bang!
She kicked him in the stomach with a steady, accurate, and ruthless force.
Zhao Shao coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew out, falling into the fire behind him.
"Aaaaah!" Flames instantly engulfed his entire body.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, flames burned him to ashes, and Zhao Shao's chilling screams echoed through the valley.
The villagers below the stage watched this scene in astonishment, their expressions complex.
No one expected that Lin Qixia would kill Zhao Shao.
Lin Qixia covered her mouth, suddenly looking bewildered, "Oh dear! I didn't know he was going to rush at me, I didn't mean to!"
As she spoke, she collapsed to the ground and began to cry in distress.
The villagers: "..."
You didn't do it on purpose. With the strength you have to kill a wild boar with your bare hands, kicking someone into a fire would be a piece of cake.
Xue Cheng snorted, "Miss Lin, don't be sad. Zhao Shao brought it on himself. He deserved to die!"
As soon as he said this, everyone else chimed in: "Xue Cheng is right! That kid was a complete scoundrel all along, he got himself killed!"
"Bah! He tricked us into harming Miss Lin, he deserves to die a horrible death!"
Based on the way Lin Qixia dealt with Zhao Shao just now, the villagers were all sweating profusely and feeling somewhat apprehensive.
Fortunately, they stopped at the crucial moment, otherwise they would have offended Lin Qixia and she might have actually attacked her.
This time, it's not just Zhao Shao who ended up in such a state.
"Waaaaah, my Xia'er, I'm so glad you're alright, what a relief!" He Zhilan ran onto the stage, hugged Lin Qixia, and burst into tears.
He released all the emotions he had been holding back from the fright.
Lin Qixia nestled in her arms, and at this moment, she was also affected by the emotions, and her fake crying turned into real crying.
After all, if she hadn't been short of money to buy the fireproof shield from the system, she might have really died here.
She had witnessed firsthand how profit-driven that lousy system was.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still alive, I'm still alive..." Lin Qixia cried more and more miserably.
The villagers felt a little guilty at first.
Ultimately, they were involved in helping Zhao Shao quite a bit in what happened to the Lin family girl today.
Xue Cheng was the first to apologize to Lin Qixia, saying, "I'm so sorry, Miss Lin, it was our fault. We shouldn't have trusted that beast Zhao Shao so easily!"
"That's right! We were all fooled by that guy Zhao Shao!"
"Thank goodness you're alright, Miss Lin, otherwise we—we really—"
Everyone rushed to apologize, but their expressions remained tense.
"If anything happens to my Xia'er, then you all deserve to die!" Lin Xiao's deep, angry voice rang out from not far outside the crowd.
Everyone looked in his direction, and when they saw Lin Xiao, they became even more nervous.
After all, Lin Xiao already had a fiery temper, and now he could even stand up and hit people!
He Zhilan waved to Lin Xiao with a smile through her tears: "Brother Xiao! You've finally arrived!"
She saw that Lin Xiao was accompanied by village chief Chen Weizhong, so she was glad that they had finally brought him here.
"Sorry I'm late," Lin Xiao said, walking through the crowd towards them and asking, "How is Xia'er?"
Lin Qixia peeked out from He Zhilan's embrace and said, "I'm fine, brother."
