Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

“But that’s not the real reason you amplified their desires.” Bai Jiu looked at Ling Yi: “If you wanted to kill them, there was no need to amplify their desires. What you did was to increase their desire for you. Only when their desire for you became stronger would you kill them.”

"Disgust, murderous intent, and other ill intentions—you manipulate those emotions towards you, making them stronger." Bai Jiu looked at Ling Yi: "But you could have killed them the moment you sensed them, so why manipulate them?"

Of course, it's to exceed 30%, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

However, Ling Yi couldn't tell Bai Jiu this.

Ling Yi looked at the liquor, his eyes narrowing dangerously: "Want to know why?"

"Mm." Baijiu nodded.

"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you." Ling Yi looked at the white wine: "It's all for you."

Ye Qingshuang: "?"

Liquor:"???"

Ling Yi, seemingly oblivious to their shocked expressions, slowly said, "In the Empire competition, you took the initiative to back down because Li Jiu needed an opportunity. You are very kind."

"But this..."

"Don't rush, let me finish." Ling Yi interrupted Bai Jiu and continued, "Bei Qianning said you have a pure and innocent heart. I think it's quite rare for someone like you. I brought you out here, so I definitely want to keep your pure heart intact. As for those who are hostile to me, their malice wasn't obvious at first. Of course, I could kill them directly once I sensed it. But I was afraid you wouldn't be able to sense it and would think I was killing people indiscriminately. That's why I designed to amplify their malice. In this way, both you and Qing Shuang can sense it. When I kill them, you'll know that they deserved it, and that I wasn't killing people indiscriminately. That way, you won't misunderstand me."

Ye Qingshuang: "..." What a huge burden! She would never ask why again; she couldn't bear such a burden.

Baijiu: "I...I won't misunderstand you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang looked at the white wine, her lips twitching. Dude, you're a bit too naive. You can actually believe such obvious nonsense?

"That's because I was afraid you'd misunderstand," Ling Yi smiled slightly. "We're friends. It's not good for friends to misunderstand each other."

Baijiu thinks this makes sense.

Ling Yi: "I've already told you, why are you still asking?"

Baijiu: "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't ask anymore."

"Very good." Ling Yi was satisfied, then turned to Ye Qingshuang: "Are you going to ask any more questions?"

Ye Qingshuang: "..." So she's the main character?

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "I understand, I won't ask anymore."

"Very good." Ling Yi looked at the two of them with extremely gentle expressions: "Get some rest, and remember to cooperate well tomorrow." After saying that, Ling Yi left.

...

The next morning, the three of them went downstairs for breakfast as planned. While they were eating in the lobby, the innkeeper stood in the corner and kept glancing at them. He was terrified and wished they would leave as soon as they finished eating.

"Men, surround this inn!" a voice rang out. The innkeeper heard the voice and wanted to run out to see what was happening, but before he even reached the door, Hua Qianyu walked in with a group of guards.

Upon seeing Hua Qianyu, the innkeeper knew his inn was doomed.

"The three of you, are you eating?" Hua Qianyu walked to the table where Ling Yi and the other two were sitting, and stepped onto the table. Because of her movement, the bowls and chopsticks tipped over, and soup and water spilled all over the three of them. When the innkeeper saw this, he turned away completely and dared not look anymore.

When the others saw Hua Qianyu looking for Ling Yi and the other two, they immediately retreated to the side, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Ling Yi didn't move, but simply looked up at Hua Qianyu.

Hua Qianyu took out a wanted poster and said with a smile, "The three of you, take a look, do you look like the three people on this poster?"

Ling glanced at it and said that it wasn't just similar, it was exactly the same.

"Who are you?" Ling Yi asked Hua Qianyu, his tone extremely cold.

"Me?" Hua Qianyu sneered, "I am Hua Qianyu, the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion of Huawu City. I must say, you guys are really bold. You killed someone from my City Lord's Mansion and you still dare to run away."

"Escape?" Ling Yi sneered. "Those trash from yesterday think they can do anything to me?"

"If the same useless people you bring today are as bad as yesterday, they will all die."

“I know you’re powerful, so don’t worry. The person I invited today is someone I think can make you kneel down and beg me.” After Hua Qianyu finished speaking, she raised her hand and clapped her hands: “Come in.”

As Hua Qianyu finished speaking, several elderly men walked in.

After the elders entered, they looked at Ling Yi and said, "Young lady, we've heard that you look down on the people of the City Lord's Mansion, so we've come to ask you for some advice."

"No need for nonsense." After Ling Yi finished speaking, he moved and attacked the group. This time, Bai Jiu and Ye Qing Shuang were not idle either, and the inn lobby was instantly in chaos.

The shopkeeper looked at the ruined tables and chairs, feeling heartbroken, but no matter how heartbroken he was, he had to leave, because his life was more important.

The others who wanted to look had the same idea. Everyone in the hall ran out immediately. As soon as they left, Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu were knocked out and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

Hua Qianyu chased after them, had someone hold them down, and then took out some pills and fed them to them: "You've been poisoned by the City Lord's specially made Bone-Softening Pill. There's no antidote. No matter how high your cultivation is, you won't be able to cause any trouble."

The pill melted instantly in her mouth, carrying a hint of sweetness. Ye Qingshuang thought to herself, "This candy is really good."

"boom!"

Just then, a burst of spiritual energy erupted from the inn, and Ling Yi was thrown out of the explosion and fell to the ground.

Bai Jiu and Ye Qingshuang were extremely worried when they saw Ling Yi fall, but unfortunately, they had been given the Bone Softening Pill and could not use any strength. They could only watch helplessly as Ling Yi was captured and given the Bone Softening Pill.

"Are you admitting defeat?" Hua Qianyu pinched Ling Yi's chin, forcing her to look up, and said with a smile, "Do you still think our City Lord's Mansion has no one to rely on?"

Ling Yi sneered and ignored him.

"They've got guts." Hua Qianyu looked at the guards: "Tie them up and take them back to the manor!"

"Yes!" the guards responded, and the group arrived quickly but left even faster.

The onlookers were still somewhat incredulous: "Is that all?"

"You got caught just like that?"

"That can't be right, she was so amazing yesterday!"

"To be fair, the people Miss brought today are more capable than those from yesterday, so it's normal that we were able to capture them."

"That's true..."

Amid the people's discussions, Hua Qianyu quickly brought the person back to the city lord's mansion and locked them in her courtyard.

No sooner had Hua Qianyu returned with her entourage than a commotion arose outside the courtyard. The guard, looking at the large group approaching, said expressionlessly, "Second Young Master, the Eldest Miss said that no one is allowed to enter without her order."

"Her orders?" A fat man sneered. "This is the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's orders are the highest. Her orders are worthless!"
