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

Ling Yi murdered her father and mother, killed a prince, and broke into the palace. In everyone's eyes, each and every one of these acts was heinous. No one cared about the suffering Ling Yi endured; all they could see was her bloodthirstiness and cruelty.

The royal family ordered Ling Yi's execution, but the men they sent out were no match for him and all of them died at his hands.

In the end, it became a matter of the entire nation's resources being used to deal with Ling Yi.

Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses piled up like mountains. Ling Yi stepped over the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, annihilating Lingyang, and finally letting the great fire devour everything.

The flames illuminated Ling Yi's face. Ling Yi stood outside the flames, watching 'himself' walk into the flames, his figure gradually disappearing.

As the figure completely disappeared, everything before my eyes gradually blurred.

As consciousness returned, Ling Yi felt enveloped in a warm current. Opening her eyes, before she could even look around, she heard a gentle voice: "You're awake."

Upon hearing the voice, Ling Yi's long, curled eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly, a dark glint flashed in her half-lowered eyes, and then she sat up and looked at the speaker.

The person before me had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a high, straight nose and thin lips. His angular features made his face less delicate and more fierce.

It was an extremely handsome face, but his skin was too pale, making the man look even more aloof, like frost and moonlight, something to be admired but not touched, or one would surely be harmed.

Ling Yi was in the water, and the man was on the shore. Under the man's gaze, Ling Yi swam to the shore, put her hands together to support herself on the bank, rested her head on her arms, and looked at the man: "Who are you?"

The man looked at Ling Yi. Her hair and clothes were wet, clinging tightly to her body. Her wet hair clung to her porcelain-white skin, and her dark eyes, when focused on someone, were so captivating that it was impossible to look away.

"Ji Yanzhi." After saying this, Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi and asked, "What is your surname, young lady?"

"Ling Yi." Ling Yi stared intently at Ji Yanzhi: "Where is this?"

“This is my domain.” Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi: “You are badly injured. The spiritual spring in this domain can heal your wounds, so I brought you into this domain.”

"Domain?" Ling Yi thought for a moment: "Personal space?"

Ji Yanzhi nodded: "Mm."

"We are complete strangers, why did you save me?" Ling Yi asked Ji Yanzhi.

It's one thing to rescue her, but to so easily bring her into your own space—aren't you afraid she might do something about it?

Ji Yanzhi lowered his eyes and met Ling Yi's gaze: "The three-headed python has been causing trouble for a long time. Miss, you killed the three-headed python and got rid of a great scourge. How can I stand by and watch it die?"

"You know about the Three-Headed Python?" Ling Yi said, "The Three-Headed Python said that apart from itself and the Mirror Spirit, there is no one else in this place. We stumbled in by accident. Ji Yanzhi, how did you know?"

"Did you intrude by accident, or... are you a spirit?"

Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi: "I did not intrude by accident, nor am I a mirror spirit."

"Then why are you here?"

“I have been searching for the Three-Headed Python.” Ji Yanzhi said, “The Three-Headed Python was born in the Sea of ​​Nothingness. After leaving the Sea of ​​Nothingness, it wreaked havoc on the human world and harmed many people. The Ji family has the responsibility to protect it, so we launched a campaign to hunt down the Three-Headed Python. The Three-Headed Python fled to the Tianhuan Mountains and broke into the Mirror Spirit Space, where it was trapped.”

“I tried to enter the Mirror Spirit Space, but I failed. It wasn’t until recently, when I learned that the Mirror Spirit Space was loosening, that I was able to enter.” Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi and said, “I came here to deal with the three-headed python, but I didn’t expect that when I arrived, you had already dealt with it.”

"Miss Ling, how did you deal with the three-headed python?"

Ling Yi: "That's how it was resolved."

"It's not very durable."

Ji Yanzhi's gaze was deep: "Miss Ling, there is a huge difference in cultivation between you and the three-headed python. Under normal circumstances, you cannot kill it."

"I killed it when I wasn't behaving myself," Ling Yi said casually. "I killed it, saving you a lot of trouble. Why bother about how it died?"

“What you say makes sense,” Ji Yanzhi said. “Indeed, there’s no need to care how it died.”

“You killed it, young lady, and I brought you here to heal your wounds as a way of repaying your kindness in dealing with the three-headed python.” Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi and said, “Young lady, now that you are awake, you should leave.”

"You want to kick me out as soon as I wake up?" Ling Yi sighed. "Ji Yanzhi, it wouldn't be easy for someone with my cultivation level to kill it."

Ji Yanzhi asked, "What does the young lady wish to do?"

Ling Yi: "I want to rest a bit more."

“Okay.” Ji Yanzhi did not refuse.

Ling Yi stopped talking and quietly soaked in the water.

Ji Yanzhi sat on the shore without making a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yi said, "Ji Yanzhi, I'm hungry."

"Wait for me here," Ji Yanzhi instructed before getting up and leaving.

Ling Yi watched Ji Yanzhi's departing figure, his gaze unfathomable.

Ling Yi sank into the water after Ji Yanzhi disappeared from sight, pondering what had happened since he came in.

This space is the Mirror Spirit Space. She killed the three-headed python, and all she needs to do is find the Mirror Spirit after she gets out, but that dream…

Is that a dream?

Ling Yi didn't think it was a dream; it was just a gut feeling.

But if it wasn't a dream, then when did it happen?

Why doesn't she have any memory at all?

Why would I dream about something when I have no memory of it?

Before Tianyan lost contact, he mentioned 'time chaos'. Could the appearance of that 'dream' be caused by the Mirror Spirit Space?

It's getting more and more interesting.

"Miss Ling?" Ji Yanzhi returned with the food and called out when he saw Ling Yi sink into the water.

As Ling Yi emerged from the water, trying to get ashore, she braced herself against the bank and felt a sharp pain shoot through her wound.

The bone knife is special; injuries caused by it cannot be completely healed by soaking in a spiritual spring. Ling Yi needs to heal on his own, and that kind of healing takes time.

Physical strength alone wouldn't work, so Ling Yi tried to use spiritual energy. But once he started using it, he discovered that it was completely depleted.

Neither worked. Ling Yi looked at Ji Yanzhi and said, "We can't get up there."

Ji Yanzhi looked down at Ling Yi without saying a word.

As she said, they were complete strangers, and given her personality, she shouldn't have acted this way.

Ji Yanzhi didn't move, and Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry either, just watching him.

In the end, Ji Yanzhi gave in, put down the food he was eating, and fished Ling Yi out of the spiritual spring. He also used his spiritual power to dry her clothes and hair.

"Thank you." Ling Yi thanked him, then sat down on the shore and began to eat.

Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi, his face calm, but his heart was churning.

Ling Yi's attitude towards him was not right.

Does she know?

Shouldn't.

Ji Yanzhi suppressed his thoughts and waited for Ling Yi to finish eating before saying, "Miss Ling, you should go now. I should also leave."

Ling looked at him and said, "Ji Yanzhi, I helped you, so why do you keep trying to get rid of me?"

Ling Yi's attitude was off, and Ji Yanzhi couldn't figure out what she was thinking. After confirming that she was alright, he wanted to leave, but faced with Ling Yi's words, Ji Yanzhi couldn't explain why. He could only say, "Miss Ling, the Mirror Spirit Space is extremely hostile to people with high cultivation levels. I shouldn't stay any longer, otherwise I will make enemies with the Mirror Spirit."

"I see." Ling Yi expressed her understanding: "Then please see me out."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanzhi led Ling Yi out of the domain. Once outside, Ling Yi found himself in an unfamiliar place, with neither the three-headed python's corpse nor anyone else around.

The place we came out of wasn't very good; we still had to walk to find someone.

After seeing the person out, Ji Yanzhi said, "Miss Ling, farewell."

Ling looked at him and asked, "Ji Yanzhi, will we ever meet again?"

Ji Yanzhi's gaze was deep and unfathomable; no one knew what he was thinking: "If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."

Ling nodded, indicating that she understood.

Ji Yanzhi didn't say anything more, left Ling Yi's side, and quickly disappeared from sight.

Once Ji Yanzhi's figure had completely disappeared, Ling Yi murmured softly, "We are destined to meet."

Ling Yi rested against a tree for a while, figured out the direction, and slowly walked forward. After walking for a short while, he saw Lin Chengtian.

Lin Chengtian saw Ling Yi and quickly stepped forward: "Ling Yi, how are you?"

"You look terrible, are you injured?"

"Is the injury serious?" Lin Chengtian asked urgently, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian and thought of that dream.

In her dream, she killed many people, but she probably wouldn't target Lin Chengtian. What happened after that?

If it weren't a dream, would Lin Chengtian remember it?

Ling Yi wondered if the existence within Lin Chengtian's body was related to that dream.

Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian: "Lin Chengtian, I had a dream."

Lin Chengtian asked, "What dream?"

Ling Yi said, "In my dream, I married the Third Prince. The Third Prince abused me. You took me and Lin Chengze and left the Third Prince's mansion, but we were caught up quickly. Lin Chengze died. You wanted to self-destruct and take them with you, but I killed those people first."

“I not only killed the Third Prince, Lin Tianliang, but I also killed many people, many… so many that in the end I simply destroyed Lingyang.”

When Ling Yi mentioned that dream, she felt no hatred, no pleasure, and certainly no regret for killing someone. She was simply curious, wondering why she had no memory of it at all.

After listening to Ling Yi's words, Lin Chengtian said, "That was just a dream."

Ling Yi looked into Lin Chengtian's eyes: "I don't think that was a dream."

Lin Chengtian and Ling Yi exchanged glances: "But you didn't marry the Third Prince, and Chengze is still alive."

When Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian, he used the Truth-Speaking Technique. If Lin Chengtian knew, he would tell the truth. Since he didn't, it meant that he really didn't know.

“That’s true.” Ling Yi said calmly, “It’s different. Perhaps it really is just a dream.”

"Ling Yi, it's all over now," Lin Chengtian comforted her, then asked again, "Are you injured? Is it serious?"

"I'm injured," Ling said as she walked. "It's pretty serious. If we encounter any more danger, we'll all just wait to die together."

Lin Chengtian replied, "I won't let you die."

Ling glanced at him but didn't say anything. The two of them went back to the place where the others were unconscious.

While the others were still unconscious, Ling Yi, whose wounds were in great pain, also found a place to sit and heal.

Lin Chengtian stood quietly by his side, and it was at this moment that the others woke up.
