Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 254 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (26)

The black mist emanating from the porcelain bottle resembled silk threads, tightly wrapping around her body.

There was no sense of constraint, yet a faint feeling of danger could be sensed.

"Bai Tan, what are you doing?" Shen Yun asked urgently.

The black mist gradually tightened, and traces of painful struggle gradually appeared on Shen Yun's face.

His pale cheeks were somewhat translucent, and two lines of blood slowly flowed from his bloodshot eyes.

Seeing her like this, Bai Tan felt a surge of joy. "Zhao Ruyi, how can you be so naive? No wonder you were pushed off the city wall by your own sister."

Shen Yun felt no emotion upon hearing this, and even felt a little amused.

But this is the moment to test her acting skills. Although Bai Tan is blind, she cannot be unprofessional.

So she screamed desperately from her throat, her body struggling in pain, even her arm was cut, and large patches of blood fell to the ground.

"You treacherous villain!" Shen Yun even managed to squeeze out a few sarcastic remarks from the midst of his explosive acting performance.

Bai Tan, however, acted as if he had nothing to lose, saying, "Zhao Ruyi, you were born with a treasure, but you don't know how to use it at all. To you, the treasure is just a pearl covered in dust. What I'm doing is to realize its value."

"Are Zhao Guo, Zhao Jixiang, and others all being manipulated by you behind the scenes?"

Acting is quite fun, but it takes up a lot of equipment.

He curled the corners of his mouth, a sinister glint in his eyes, "You've finally shown some cleverness now that you're about to die. Not bad, your father was a stupid and incompetent man who only thought about traveling and sightseeing. It's just a pity that he had too many virtuous ministers under his command, and these ministers were very loyal to him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used my scheme to kill them."

"What a sin, what a sin."

Shen Yun roared again, struggling desperately around the black mist and crashing outwards.

With a "crack," a thin crack appeared where she had hit the ground.

Shen Yun quickly wiped his face to cover it up. Fortunately, Bai Qin was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't notice anything amiss.

After a while, Bai Tan saw that the person in the black mist had become almost completely transparent, so he walked over and slowly circled around her.

She was still ugly, completely different from the otherworldly, ethereal person she had in mind. I really don't know if her impression of otherworldly people was wrong, or if Bai Tan was just an exception.

"To bring this to a perfect end to my quest for immortality, Princess Ruyi's death can be considered worthwhile, hahaha..."

Shen Yun felt a little tired. She couldn't help but unleash her acting skills, recite her lines, and most importantly, look at the person and hold back her laughter.

She could accept the previous ones, but this last one was really difficult to put into practice, not because she lacked self-control.

Having estimated the time, Shen Yun moved his fingers and then let out a scream.

Its eeriness is so intense that it can basically serve as a template for background music in horror movies.

"You...you will die a horrible death...ah!" Before she could finish speaking, her body gradually melted into the black mist, and her voice suddenly disappeared.

As the body went from transparent to completely disappearing, Bai Tan, who witnessed all of this, was speechless with emotion; his fingers trembled slightly, revealing his intense feelings.

He simply didn't see the fleeting golden light that flashed within the black mist before it disappeared.

Bai Tan took out the porcelain bottle and placed it in his palm, watching the black mist flow into it little by little. He could hardly contain his joy. If he hadn't remembered that he was in the palace, he would have roared to the sky.

After finishing everything, he went out, glanced at the two young Taoist priests who were already waiting outside, and headed towards Yuanzhou's study.

Yuan Zhou paused upon seeing him. After all, although he was cooperating with Princess Ruyi and he trusted her abilities, trust was one thing, and seeing Bai Tan return unharmed was another.

At this point, the only option was to remain unchanged and deal with the situation as it unfolded. He said calmly, "Now that the abbot has returned, the wronged souls in the Cold Palace must have been dealt with." Yuan Zhou lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes, his lips slightly pursed, his expression indifferent.

It's a bit strange. If a fight had really broken out, there's no way Bai Qin's clothes wouldn't have been wrinkled at all.

The eunuch standing next to Yuanzhou was startled by these words. He secretly glanced at Yuanzhou's expression and quickly brought over tea at the perfect temperature.

When His Majesty shows such an expression, he is generally not in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, the palace will be peaceful for the next few years." Bai Tan flicked his whisk again, clearly still unaware that the whisk was not his own.

"Does the Abbot intend to stay in the palace for a while?"

Yuanzhou's meaning was quite clear: he wanted him to get lost.

Otherwise, he would say, "Please stay here a few more days, Abbot?"

Just a few words different, but the meanings are completely different.

B Baiqin, who was very excited, naturally didn't realize what he was saying. Of course, even if he wasn't excited, he wouldn't really understand.

After all, he never imagined that someone would try to drive him away in such a roundabout way.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. I still have some matters to attend to at my temple," Bai Tan said.

Yuan Zhou did not try to stop him, but instead ordered someone to send him back. Watching Bai Tan leave triumphantly, Yuan Zhou frowned slightly, his face showing deep concern.

Only after he had completely left the palace did Shen Yun emerge from a corner.

She circled around Da Mei and Xiao Shunzi several times. See how amazing she is?

Xiao Shunzi's eyes were filled with admiration and confusion. He admired her for being able to slip away in front of Bai Tan, but he was confused by her current state.

His entire body was covered in gold, making him look just like the eighteen bronze statues of Shaolin Temple.

Da Mei's eyes sparkled, and she eagerly reached out her hand, "This must be worth a lot of money. If you could scrape off the gold, you could make so many sets of jewelry."

"..." Shen Yun rested her chin on her hand, her beauty unchanged, her perspective on things still quite peculiar.

But thinking about what Da Mei had just said, she found it difficult to talk to her.

"Don't worry, I will kill Bai Tan." Shen Yun sighed, then patted her shoulder.

Da Mei walked to the side, and a faint voice came from afar, "Thank you."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and in the quiet surroundings, the sound of her tears falling could almost be heard.

Shen Yun didn't ask any questions and chose to leave directly.

Not all pain can be consoled.

Heartbreak and despair.

Thinking of her expression at that moment, I suppose the reason she remained in this world was to seek revenge.

Using laughter as a thick mask is her last form of self-protection.

……

The little eunuch who followed Bai Tan and watched him leave breathed a sigh of relief.
