I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

After going through untold hardships, Dongfang Liuli finally found an opportunity to sneak into the cell. The first thing she saw was Lei Yi lying on the cold ground. His originally luxurious clothes were tattered, revealing shocking scars.

He was thinner and more haggard, and his once high-spirited face was now filled with fatigue, but she could still see a trace of unquenchable determination in his tightly closed eyes.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli couldn't help but call out in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in her voice. Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and his originally dim eyes lit up instantly, as if two flames were burning. When he saw who it was, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

"Liuli, why are you here? Let's go! It's dangerous here!" Lei Yi struggled to get up, but it pulled the wound on his body and he groaned in pain.

"Don't move!" Dongfang Liuli hurried forward to support him, took out a bottle of medicine from her arms, and carefully applied it on his wound, her movements gentle, for fear of hurting him.

"How did you find this place? Who let you in?" Lei Yi held her hand and asked anxiously, with a hint of imperceptible panic in his tone.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. How are you? Did they give you any trouble?" Dongfang Liuli avoided his question, her beautiful eyes full of heartache.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Lei Yi smiled casually, trying to comfort her, but he couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"It's already this time, and you're still lying to me!" Dongfang Liuli couldn't hold back her tears and finally burst out, dripping onto his wound, causing a stinging pain.

"Liuli, don't cry, I'm fine..." Lei Yi gently wiped her tears, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew how much Dongfang Liuli had risked coming to this dangerous place all by herself for him. He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms and tell her that his feelings had never changed, but...

"Lei Yi, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!" Dongfang Liuli took a deep breath, forced back the tears in her eyes, and said in a firm tone.

"Fool, don't waste your energy, this is..."

"Nothing can stop me! I will definitely rescue you, believe me!" Dongfang Liuli interrupted him and looked at him with burning eyes. That look seemed to carry some kind of magic that made Lei Yi unable to refuse.

"Liuli..." Lei Yi wanted to say something, but Dongfang Liuli gently covered his mouth.

"Shh, don't say anything, just have a good rest, and leave the rest to me." Dongfang Liuli smiled gently, with wisdom glittering in her eyes.

Lei Yi looked at the woman who risked everything for him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He held her hand with his backhand and said in a hoarse voice: "Liuli, I'm sorry, I made you..."

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Dongfang Liuli lowered her head and gently pressed her cheek against the back of his hand, feeling his warmth, with a happy arc at the corner of her mouth.

"I……"

Dongfang Liuli raised her head, looked firmly into Lei Yi's eyes, and said word by word: "I love you, Lei Yi." "I love you, Lei Yi." Dongfang Liuli's voice was soft but firm, as if it had some kind of magic, penetrating the dark and damp cell and echoing in Lei Yi's ears.

Lei Yi's heart trembled. He had repeated these three words countless times in his mind, but he never thought he would hear them in such a situation. He wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat. In the end, all he could say was a deep hug.

Dongfang Liuli snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. She knew that their road ahead was still long and filled with unknown dangers, but as long as they were in love, nothing could separate them.

"Lei Yi, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to get you out." Dongfang Liuli gently stroked his hair and comforted him softly, "You have to believe in me, and believe in yourself."

"Well, I believe you." Lei Yi's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was extremely firm. Dongfang Liuli's arrival was like a ray of light, illuminating his desperate heart and rekindling the flame of hope.

They clung to each other, expressing their love and determination, as if the outside world had nothing to do with them. They all knew that a bigger storm was waiting for them, but at the moment, they just wanted to cherish this rare peace and warmth.

However, the gears of fate never stopped turning.

The leader of the Black Tiger Village was furious when he learned that Dongfang Liuli had sneaked into the prison. He had originally intended to use Lei Yi to threaten the Dongfang family, but he had not expected Dongfang Liuli to be so bold as to take such a risk alone, which made him feel that his authority was challenged.

"What a foolish woman! How dare you trespass into my territory!" the Black Tiger Village leader roared. "Come here, arrest them both! I'll make them pay for their stupidity!"

At the command of the leader of the Black Tiger Village, a group of ferocious bandits immediately swarmed towards the dungeon, holding shining swords in their hands and with greed and cruelty flashing in their eyes.

Meanwhile, immersed in their love, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the dungeon, accompanied by a sharp sound of metal clashing. Outside the cell, fire flickered and people began to talk.

"Oh no! They are coming!" Lei Yi's face changed, and he keenly sensed the dangerous aura.

Dongfang Liuli also realized that the situation was not good. She quickly stood up, her eyes became sharp, and she said in a firm tone: "Lei Yi, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

As he spoke, he heard shouts outside the cell, accompanied by heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer...

Hearing the approaching shouting, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli sprang into action. Lei Yi pulled Dongfang Liuli over, shielding her behind him, and whispered, "Liuli, hide behind me. I'll handle them."

Dongfang Liuli shook her head, her eyes firm: "No, Lei Yi, let's face it together!" She pulled out a soft whip from her waist, and the whip flashed a cold light in the dim cell.

Lei Yi knew that Dongfang Liuli's kung fu was not weak, but after all, the other party had more people and more power. He was worried that she would get hurt and wanted to persuade her again, but time did not allow it.

Outside the cell, chaotic footsteps were approaching, and the sound of swords clashing and shouting mixed together, deafening.

With a loud "bang", the wooden door of the cell was knocked open by a powerful force. The fire illuminated the entire cell, and a group of ferocious bandits appeared at the door with swords in hand.

The leader of the Black Tiger Camp had a face full of flesh and a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He looked at Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli with a grin, as if they were already trapped in a jar.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished!" the Black Tiger leader said fiercely, "Go ahead, arrest them!"

Just as the bandits were about to rush forward, suddenly, a strange wave came from outside the cell, and a powerful energy filled the air, as if something was awakening.

"What's going on?" The Black Tiger Village leader's face changed and he looked around vigilantly.

The bandits also stopped and looked at each other, and a feeling of unease spread among them.

Then, the strange fluctuations became stronger and stronger, and the torches around the cell began to shake violently, as if a strong wind was blowing. Some torches even went out directly, and the entire dungeon fell into a strange darkness.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a bandit screamed in horror, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, he held his head with both hands, and rolled on the ground in pain.

"Something's strange! Everyone be careful!" The leader of the Black Tiger Village realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly.

However, his warning was too late. The mysterious power spread rapidly, and more and more bandits began to show abnormal symptoms. They wailed in pain, fell to the ground, and lost their fighting ability.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were also stunned by this sudden change. They stared closely outside the cell, watching the strange scene in front of them, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness.

"This power..." Dongfang Liuli murmured softly, with a trembling tone, "Could it be..."

Before she could finish, a disembodied voice suddenly rang in their ears...

"Who is it? Who is secretly helping us?" Lei Yi lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the mysterious power in the darkness. However, he could see nothing except the bandits howling in pain.

Dongfang Liuli's brows were also furrowed. She gripped the whip tightly, a glint of doubt flickering in her beautiful eyes. "This power is so strong, yet so unfamiliar. I've never felt anything like it before."

At this moment, a disembodied voice suddenly rang out in their ears, as if coming from all directions, ethereal and elusive. "Don't be alarmed, I mean no harm."

The voice was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, yet it carried a subtle, unnoticeable majesty that sent shudders down one's spine. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli exchanged a glance, their doubts growing even greater.

"Who are you? Why do you want to interfere in this matter?" Lei Yi asked bravely, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

The voice was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then slowly said: "I am Fairy Zi Ling. I was passing by here and noticed that there was a demonic aura here, so I came to help."

"Demon spirit?" Dongfang Liuli keenly grasped this key word. "What do you mean by this, Fairy?"

"In this Black Tiger Village, someone is secretly practicing evil magic, sacrificing living people and killing lives. I came here this time to eradicate this evil force." There was a hint of coldness in Fairy Zi Ling's voice, which made people shudder.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were shocked upon hearing this. Although they were trapped here, they had heard that the Black Tiger Village was full of evil, committing murder, looting, and all kinds of evil. They had never thought that they would dare to practice evil magic and harm innocent people!

"Fairy, we have also been captured by this group of evil thieves. Please help us rescue us. We are willing to serve you at all costs!" Lei Yi made a prompt decision and immediately asked Fairy Zi Ling for help.

However, Fairy Zi Ling did not agree immediately. Instead, she said, "I came here to eradicate the evil forces in Black Tiger Village. As for other matters, I do not want to interfere."

Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew Fairy Zi Ling was unwilling to meddle in other people's affairs. However, if they missed this opportunity, they might really be trapped here and die.

Just as he was racking his brains for a countermeasure, Dongfang Liuli suddenly spoke, "Fairy, I am willing to lend a hand to you and eradicate the evil forces in Black Tiger Village!"

Lei Yi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked at Dongfang Liuli, but saw that her eyes were firm and her tone was resolute, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.
