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

Lin Chengtian walked in and sat down next to Ling Yi: "Teacher Mu asked me to tell you that he sent the people from Prince Ming's mansion away."

Ling Yi: "This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Only by killing them can we eliminate future troubles."

Lin Chengtian frowned slightly: "As long as you stay at the academy, you'll be fine. If you want to go out, I'll go with you."

"Die with me?" Ling Yi looked up at Lin Chengtian: "Do you know how many people want me dead right now?"

Lin Chengtian looked at Ling Yi: "I don't know. Tell me so I can be prepared."

Ling Yi chuckled lightly: "First are your father and your sister, second is the Prince Ming's mansion, and last is the Crown Prince."

"I know what happened before, but how did you offend the Crown Prince?" Lin Chengtian asked in confusion.

"Well..." Ling Yi smiled meaningfully, "You'll have to ask your good sister about that."

“However, the Crown Prince may not necessarily make a move against me.” Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian: “Lin Tianliang’s hands are broken and cannot be restored. Lin Zhuyu’s identity has been exposed, and she is not suitable to marry the Crown Prince. You are the most promising person in the Lin family. If it weren’t for the Ming Prince’s affair, the Crown Prince might still be willing to marry Lin Zhuyu as a concubine. But with the Ming Prince’s affair, the Crown Prince will not go against his own uncle. Lin Tianliang and Lin Zhuyu are no longer of any use. They will soon be abandoned.”

“If you’re abandoned for no reason, then you’re abandoned. But Lin Zhuyu…” Ling Yi sneered, “She won’t accept it. She’ll seek her own death.”

"It's really disheartening to injure your hand at this crucial juncture," Ling Yi sighed. "Otherwise, I could have gained so much more."

Lin Chengtian asked, "What did you find?"

Ling Yidao: "Why should I tell you?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Chengtian didn't ask any further questions.

...

With the half-month period drawing to a close, it meant that the wedding date for Lin Zhuyu and the Third Prince was also approaching.

Ling Yi received a letter sent by Lin Tianliang.

The letter stated that he realized his mistake and shouldn't have favored Lin Zhuyu and forced her. He understood now and would no longer force her to marry the Third Prince. Instead, he would let Lin Zhuyu marry according to the marriage agreement and hoped that she and Lin Chengtian could return home to see Lin Zhuyu off.

After reading the letter, Ling sneered and handed it to Lin Chengtian: "In order to trick me into going back, and in case I didn't believe it, I even included you."

Lin Chengtian took the letter, read it, and his face darkened. He tried to contact Lin Chengze, but couldn't reach him. It seemed that Lin Chengze had already been taken into custody.

Ye Qingshuang glanced at the letter on the table, clicked her tongue and shook her head: "This isn't asking you to go back for the wedding banquet, it's a trap!"

Ling Yi said, "It's great, I like it."

After saying that, Ling Yi moved his right hand. Although the wound had scabbed over, it still hurt when he moved it, but the pain didn't matter as long as he could use it.

This banquet is prepared for her; there must be many people there, and each person is a separate entity.

"Ling Yi, are you really going back?" Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi's smiling face. "Aren't you afraid?"

"Whether I'm scared or not, I have to go back and settle things."

Ye Qingshuang frowned, and after a long while said, "I quite like you. If you go back, I'll be living alone again. I'll go back with you."

Ling Yi looked at Ye Qingshuang: "This trap must be orchestrated by Prince Ming. Getting involved with the Prince's mansion is not a good thing. You don't care, but what about the people behind you?"

"There's no one behind me," Ye Qingshuang said. "I'm an orphan, so I won't involve anyone else in anything I do. You don't need to worry."

"If you're not afraid of death, you can come along and see." As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, Lin Chengtian returned. Seeing Lin Chengtian's cold face, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "What? Couldn't get in touch?"

"Hmm." Lin Chengtian said, "I need to go back for a bit, you..."

“I’m going back too,” Ling Yi said. “This is a joyous occasion.”

Having spent this time together, Lin Chengtian has realized that once Ling Yi makes a decision, no one can change it.

"Okay." Lin Chengtian looked at Ling Yi: "Don't be afraid, I will do my best to protect you."

"You should mind your own business." Ling Yi got up and walked into the house. "I need to rest. I'll go back tomorrow."

As soon as Ling Yi left, Ye Qingshuang and Lin Chengtian immediately parted ways.

As soon as Ling Yi returned to the house, Tian Yan's voice echoed in her mind: "Your hand isn't healed yet, there's no rush."

"There's nothing I can do. Everyone's already prepared. If I don't go, there won't be as many people next time." Ling Yi spread her hands, looked at her wound, and sighed, "It really hurts when I move it."

"I miss my old body, where I wouldn't feel pain even if I got slashed."

Tianyan remained silent. After evolving into a new human, Ling's body was incredibly powerful. Not only could no one get close enough to strike her, but even if someone did, the result would only be that the blade would break, leaving no trace.

"Tianyan, it hurts so much." Seeing that Tianyan didn't speak, Ling Yi pretended to blow on the wound.

"That's enough." Tianyan said, "Open your hands, don't move."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, and she spread her hands and remained still.

The soft light enveloped Ling Yi's hand, softening the scabs, and then continued to penetrate deeper, beginning to heal.

Ling Yi could feel his palm healing rapidly. When the light disappeared, his palm was completely healed, without any trace of injury.

Ling Yi smiled and extended her left hand: "Tianyan, there's more."

The light flew toward the left hand and began to heal.

Soon, his left hand also fully recovered.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Ling Yi smiled and said, "It really doesn't hurt anymore, Tianyan, thank you."

[Ling Yi, do not use that knife again until your body can withstand it.]

Ling Yi said, "Don't blame me. He launched a sneak attack. If you hadn't unlocked some of my strength, I would have been hit."

"It was my fault," Tianyan said. "As compensation, you can make one request. As long as it's not excessive, I will grant it."

"Really?" Ling Yi immediately perked up.

Tianyan: [Really.]

Ling Yi said, "I want one percent of the strength I once possessed."

Tianyan: [...] I'd rather devour it than have this!

No, your body can't handle it. At most, we can unseal 0.5%, that's the limit your body can currently withstand.

Ling Yi was a little disappointed, but 0.5 is better than nothing.

"Okay," Ling Yi replied listlessly.

Seeing her reaction, Tianyan paused for a moment: "Unsealing by 0.5% doesn't fully satisfy your request. I'll compensate you with twenty top-grade fire spirit stones and twenty top-grade water spirit stones."

Ling Yi immediately perked up: "Tianyan, you're the best."

That's all for now, I'll try again next time.

Seeing her change in demeanor, Tianyan knew he had been tricked, but he was willing to accept it.

Go lie down, I'll unblock you. It might be a little uncomfortable.

"Feeling bad is nothing compared to having strength." Ling Yi immediately lay down on the bed as Tian Yan had instructed.
