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

The three-headed python was in great pain. Its remaining head spat out countless ice shards at Ling Yi before it quickly turned and fled the scene.

Ling Yi dodged the icicles, flashed forward, and gave chase.

The three-headed python was very fast, and in the blink of an eye it was far away from the battlefield.

After running for a while, the three-headed python finally stopped.

It wasn't that it wanted to stop, but that it hurt too much.

Two of the three heads were severed; the excruciating pain was indescribable.

It must have been so painful. If it weren't for the need to survive, it would never have been able to endure that kind of pain and run so far.

In excruciating pain, the three-headed python swept its tail around, snapping smaller trees in half.

The three-headed python was in so much pain that it had no idea what it was doing. Its body twisted and rolled around. Suddenly, the three-headed python stopped, its eyes narrowed, and it stared in terror at a certain spot.

Ling Yi stood on a tree in front of the three-headed python, just watching it.

Meeting Ling Yi's eerie red eyes, the three-headed python ignored its pain and turned to flee. But this time, Ling Yi didn't give it another chance. He leaped down with his bone knife, attacking the three-headed python. The moment he got close to the python, the bone knife, carrying a powerful force, was swung out. A flash of blood-red light, and the python's last head hit the ground.

The snake's body crashed to the ground, and Ling Yi landed, inserting the bone knife in his left hand, which then disappeared.

As the bone knife disappeared, the red light in Ling's eyes faded completely, and her consciousness plunged into darkness in an instant, causing her to fall backward.

Just as Ling Yi was about to fall, a pair of hands reached out and caught him, then disappeared with Ling Yi from the spot.

...

"Still trying to kill yourself?" an annoying voice rang out. "Do you think you can avoid marrying the Third Prince by trying to kill yourself?"

"Let me tell you, even if you were dead, you still have to get married!"

The Third Prince is seeking death?

Ling Yi frowned. Wasn't the Third Prince dead?

"I am also your daughter, why are you treating me like this?" The girl's heart-wrenching cries rang out, a voice Ling Yi had never heard before. Hearing that voice, Ling Yi opened his eyes.

Ling Yi opened her eyes, stared blankly at the scene before her.

This is... the scene on the day Ling jumped into the pond.

However, unlike her experience, Ling Yi did not die and was rescued by Lin Chengze.

Madam Lin sternly reprimanded Ling Yi, who had just been rescued. Ling Yi cried and asked Madam Lin why she treated her like this.

Blame and condemnation were met with indifference towards Ling Yi.

After seeing that Ling Yizhen was really willing to commit suicide, Madam Lin sent two nannies to keep a close watch on her to prevent her from doing so again.

Not only that, in order to make Ling Yi willingly marry, Madam Lin also sent Lin Chengyu to Lingjia Village to fetch Ling Yi's parents. As long as they could control Ling Yi's parents, Ling Yi would definitely not dare to cause any more trouble.

However, after Lin Chengyu went to Linjia Village, he learned that Ling's parents had died, and the cause of death was that they had been killed by wild beasts.

The person died, and Lin Chengyu had no choice but to go home and tell Madam Lin the news. After learning about it, Madam Lin told Lin Chengyu to keep it a secret and not let Ling Yi know.

Ling Yi is unaware that her parents are dead and is contemplating suicide. If she finds out, she will surely die anyway. Not only must Ling Yi not know about this, but her parents must also be used to threaten her and make her obey.

As expected, after Madam Lin threatened Ling Yi with Ling's parents, Ling Yi dared not cause any more trouble. However, she did not know that her parents had died. After the death of Ling Yi's parents, the people of Ling Family Village sent people to the capital to find Ling Yi, hoping to invite her back to handle the funeral arrangements for her parents.

However, the people from Lingjia Village were stopped by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion told them that Ling Yi was now the Prime Minister's daughter and would soon be married to the Third Prince, so it was impossible for her to go back to handle the funeral. They were told to bury her.

The visitor asked whether it was the Prime Minister's residence that forbade it, or Ling Yi's intention, and was subsequently beaten by a servant.

The man had no choice but to leave, but he didn't believe that Ling Yi was such an unfilial person. After his injuries healed a bit, he came to the Prime Minister's residence again. This time, he met Lin Chengze.

When Lin Chengze learned of Ling Yi's parents' death, he told the man to wait, as he would tell Ling Yi about it.

Lin Chengze wanted to go find Ling Yi as soon as he returned home, but was stopped by Lin Chengyu who had come after receiving the news. Lin Chengyu took Lin Chengze to Madam Lin's courtyard. Madam Lin admitted that it was her idea, asking whether Lin Chengze wanted her, his mother, or his newly recognized sister.

Lin Chengze had longed for Madam Lin's love since childhood, and she was the person he cared about most. Madam Lin gave Lin Chengze a choice: if he insisted on telling Ling Yi about this, she would kill herself.

Lin Chengze chose Madam Lin. He didn't tell Ling Yi about it, but instead went to Lingjia Village with the messenger to handle the funeral arrangements for Ling Yi's parents.

After Lin Chengze finished dealing with the matter and returned, he locked himself in his room.

His parents, younger brother, and younger sister all disliked Ling Yi, his biological sister, and he didn't like her either, but he didn't intend to be so ruthless.

But Lin Chengze had no choice; he couldn't comply with his mother's request.

Lin Chengze hypnotized himself like this, but no one can be hypnotized forever. Lin Chengze went to see Ling Yi. There were guards guarding the courtyard where Ling Yi lived. The guards wouldn't let Lin Chengze in, so Lin Chengze could only stand at the gate and look inside.

He saw Ling Yi sitting on the threshold, staring blankly into space, her eyes lifeless.

At that moment, Lin Chengze felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Lin Chengze felt an impulse to tell Ling Yi that he was going to help her escape, but his plan failed before it could be completed.

Lin Chengze looked at Lin Chengyu, who was in charge of guarding him, and asked in anguish, "Ling Yi is your own sister, why did you treat her like this?"

Lin Chengyu said coldly, "If she marries the Third Prince, she will be a prince's consort. What's wrong with that?"

"But she didn't want to, she..."

"Second brother, born into a family like ours, how could we not want to?" Lin Chengyu said, "Father said that the Third Prince is crippled and we can't marry our third sister to him, but we can't break off the engagement either. The Third Prince feels sorry for our third sister and is willing to let us find someone else, which is already a concession. We can't just send no one over, can we?"

"Let Lingyi marry the Third Prince, and Third Sister marry the Crown Prince. This will be good for everyone and for the Lin family," Lin Chengyu said. "Second Brother, why can't you see things clearly?"

"It's a good thing that your mother knows you're easily swayed, so she's had someone keep an eye on you, otherwise you would have ruined everything." Lin Chengyu said, "We've grown up with everything we eat, wear, and use provided by our parents. Why would you go against your parents for someone you just recognized and make them sad?"

Lin Chengze looked at Lin Chengyu in disbelief: "You all think so?"

Lin Chengyu said, "That's what everyone thinks."

Lin Chengze stopped talking.

No one will pity Ling Yi, just as no one will see him except his eldest brother.

Brother!

Lin Chengze lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Get out. I don't want to see you."

Lin Chengyu shrugged: "Alright, but Second Brother, don't even think about leaving. Mother said that you'll stay in the courtyard and reflect on your actions until Ling Yi gets married." After saying that, Lin Chengyu turned and left.

After Lin Chengyu left, Lin Chengze pondered how he could see his elder brother.

Now, the only one who can save Ling Yi is his older brother, but his older brother is at the academy. Given how our parents have acted, they certainly won't inform his older brother. How can we let his older brother know about this?

Before today, he could still use the communication stone, but his plan failed, and his mother took away his communication stone, so he has no way to use it to contact his elder brother.

Madam Lin assigned people to keep a close watch on Lin Chengze, but Lin Chengze did not find an opportunity until Ling Yi got married, at which point Madam Lin removed the people guarding Lin Chengze.

Lin Chengze was finally able to leave, but it was too late...

Ling Yi got married.

Lin Chengze went to the academy, met Lin Chengtian, and told him everything that had happened at the Lin family residence recently.

Lin Chengtian was aloof, but he was very kind to Lin Chengze. After listening to what Lin Chengze said, Lin Chengtian asked him, "Do you still want to save her?"

Lin Chengze nodded, then shook his head: "It's too late, she's already married."

Lin Chengtian looked at him and said, "It's never too late as long as you want to save her and as long as she wants to escape."

Lin Chengze remained silent for a long while: "Rescuing her from the Third Prince's residence is different from rescuing her at home. The Lin residence..."

"Chengze," Lin Chengtian called out, "If you don't go to save her, you'll never have peace of mind. I don't want you to live with guilt forever."

Lin Chengze did not answer.

Lin Chengtian said, "Go see her and ask her if she's willing to leave. If she is, we'll rescue her."

Lin Chengze went in the end. He thought that even if the Third Prince didn't like Ling Yi, he wouldn't go too far. But he didn't expect to see Ling Yi covered in injuries.

what is the reason?

On their wedding night, when Ling Yi was supposed to serve the Third Prince and help him rest, she resisted. The Third Prince then whipped her, leaving her skin lacerated and bleeding, and wouldn't allow anyone to apply medicine to her wounds.

Lin Chengze immediately tried to take Ling Yi away, but was stopped by the Third Prince's men. The Third Prince notified the Prime Minister's residence to come and take Lin Chengze back. After learning what Lin Chengze had done, Lin Tianliang severely punished him.

Upon learning of this, Lin Chengtian sneaked into the Third Prince's residence and took Ling Yi away. He then returned to the Lin family and took Lin Chengze with him, intending to leave with them. However, the truth could not be concealed forever. When the Third Prince learned that Ling Yi was missing, he immediately came to the Prime Minister's residence to demand her return. Only then did Prime Minister Lin realize that Lin Chengze was also missing. He was furious and immediately sent people to chase after them.

The Third Prince asked the royal elders for help, and they quickly located Lin Chengtian and his two companions.

Lin Chengtian was carrying two injured people and could not move fast. Moreover, among those chasing him were royal elders. Lin Chengtian's cultivation was insufficient to deal with them, and he was soon seriously injured.

The Third Prince sent men to capture Ling Yi. Ling Yi was injured and unconscious. Lin Chengze held him tightly, unwilling to let go. It was at this moment that Ling Yi woke up.

Before Lin Chengze could even feel happy to see Ling Yi wake up, he was punched in the back of the neck. With a crack, blood splattered all over Ling Yi's face.

Ling Yi's empty eyes began to focus, but before she could figure out what was happening, Lin Chengze was pulled away and she was grabbed and thrown in front of the Third Prince.

It was at this time that someone discovered Lin Chengze was dead.

Lin Chengtian was fighting with the royal elders when he learned that Lin Chengze was dead. He immediately wanted to self-destruct and take everyone with him.

But someone was faster than him.

Upon waking, Ling Yi drew a bone knife from his left hand and, in the blink of an eye, killed all of Lin Chengtian's men.

Ling Yi didn't let any of the people who came—the Third Prince, Prime Minister Lin, and the royal elders—go unpunished.

Ling Yi's change shocked Lin Chengtian, but what pained him even more was that Lin Chengze had died. Lin Chengtian found a place and buried Lin Chengze with his own hands.

While Lin Chengtian was searching for a burial place for Lin Chengze, the royal family received news of the Third Prince's murder and sent wave after wave of people to capture Ling Yi.

Ling Yi charged back with his knife, leaving a trail of blood wherever he went—the Prime Minister's residence, the Third Prince's residence, the Imperial Palace.
