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

Ling Yi's eyes were devoid of any warmth, like ice. They weren't the eyes one would look into a living person, much less the eyes one would look into a loved one. But... how could this be?

He's her brother!

My brother, born of the same mother!

"Ling Yi!"

Lin Chengze rushed over in a panic: "Chengyu was wrong. Please forgive him this time, considering he's your younger brother!"

After Lin Chengze finished speaking, seeing that Ling Yi remained unmoved, he looked at Lin Chengyu and asked, "What are you standing there for?"

"Admit your mistake!"

Lin Chengyu just stared blankly at Ling Yi, his mind filled with how could this be?

This shouldn't be happening. Just yesterday, she saw him and cautiously called him "brother"...

Why is her gaze so cold towards him after only one day? Does she even want to kill him?

"You want me to treat him like a younger brother? Why doesn't he treat me like an older sister?" Ling Yi said, tightening her grip on his hand.

"No!" Lin Chengze was terrified and knelt down with a thud. "Ling Yi, Chengyu was immature and sorry to you. We are all sorry to you. We apologize to you. Your second brother apologizes to you on Chengyu's behalf. Please let Chengyu go, okay?"

"You can injure him, cripple him, anything, just spare his life, I beg you, spare Chengyu's life!"

A cold smile appeared on Ling Yi's face. Before he could speak, Lin Zhuyu spoke up: "Ling Yi, you resent my mother and father for switching me with you, causing you to suffer for sixteen years. It's all my fault. Come at me! Let go of Fourth Brother!"

"Kill me if you want. You'll be fine if you kill me, but if you kill Fourth Brother, Father and Mother will never acknowledge you, and you'll never be able to return to the Lin family!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengze turned around abruptly and yelled at Lin Zhuyu, "Shut up!"

"No!"

Because of difficulty breathing, Lin Chengyu's face was frighteningly red, but he forced himself to speak: "Ling Yi, if you want to kill someone, kill me. It's my fault for treating you badly, it has nothing to do with my sister!"

"Is that so?" Ling Yi smiled, "As you wish."

"Lin Chengyu, you idiot, admit your mistake!" Lin Chengze was still pleading, but Lin Chengyu completely ignored her second brother's pleas and looked at Ling Yidao: "You hit Mother, broke Father's arm, and now you want to kill me. I don't have such a vicious sister as you."

"My only sister is Lin Zhuyu."

"That's good." Ling Yi said with a smile, "You go first, and soon I'll have your sister come to keep you company." As soon as she finished speaking, a click sounded, and Lin Chengyu could no longer speak.

Ling Yi withdrew his hand, and without support, Lin Chengyu's body fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Chengze stared in disbelief at the scene. Seeing Lin Chengyu collapse, he trembled as he checked Lin Chengyu's breath. After finding no sign of breathing, Lin Chengze's eyes instantly reddened. He quickly held Lin Chengyu in his arms, looked at Ling Yi, and asked in a hoarse voice, "He's your brother!"

How could you be so heartless?

"Yes, he treated you badly after you came back, and we all treated you badly, but we didn't want to kill you!"

"How do you know you didn't kill me?" Ling Yi kicked Lin Chengze in the shoulder, and Lin Chengze fell backward with Lin Chengyu in his arms. Ling Yi looked down at him and said, "Lin Chengze, you tried to kill me yesterday."

"You deserve all of this." Ling Yi looked into Lin Chengze's eyes, which were filled with hatred. "Look, when I said you wanted to kill me, did you even show a moment of guilt or remorse in your eyes?"

"No, the hatred in your eyes is even greater than yours. My life is unimportant to you; only your lives matter." Ling Yi smiled sarcastically: "Hate me then."

“The more you hate me, the more you want me dead. I’m waiting for you to come and kill me.” After saying this, Ling Yi turned and left. As he passed by Lin Zhuyu, Ling Yi said meaningfully, “Lin Zhuyu, I’ll keep you here for a while. Don’t disappoint me.”

As Ling Yi approached, Lin Zhuyu trembled with fear. Only after Ling Yi left and the fear subsided did she calm down and walk towards Lin Chengze, saying, "Second Brother..."

Upon hearing Lin Zhuyu's voice, Lin Chengze suddenly looked up, his eyes, frighteningly red with grief, staring straight at Lin Zhuyu: "Why did you say those things to provoke her?"

"She clearly didn't directly attack, she clearly had room to maneuver, so why did you provoke her? Why!?"

"In the end, Chengyu only recognized you as his sister, but you killed him. Lin Zhuyu, why did you deliberately say those things?"

Lin Zhuyu was also heartbroken when Lin Chengyu died. She said those things to provoke Ling Yi, wanting him to know that even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, no one in the family loved her.

But she didn't expect Ling Yi to be so ruthless, actually killing Lin Chengyu.

Lin Zhuyu was heartbroken, but that didn't mean she was willing to take the blame: "Second brother, I was also very saddened by the death of fourth brother, but how can you think it was my fault?"

"If I hadn't said those things, would she have killed my fourth brother?"

"She even dared to lay a hand on her parents, how could she possibly let her fourth brother go?" Lin Zhuyu said, "Instead of blaming me, why don't you send my fourth brother home first? I will avenge him!"

Lin Chengze sneered: "She's not even afraid of her parents, how do you plan to avenge your fourth brother?"

Lin Zhuyu looked at Lin Chengze and said, "Second brother, I can go to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. They will help me. The most important thing right now is to bring my fourth brother home."

"Lin Zhuyu, things will not go as you wish." After saying this, Lin Chengze picked up Lin Chengyu's body and walked down the mountain, with all the servants following him.

Lin Zhuyu bit her lip, watching their departing figures, her hatred for Ling Yi growing stronger.

If it weren't for Ling Yi, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Why didn't she accept her fate and marry the Third Prince?

If she had obediently married the Third Prince, none of this would have happened!

...

After leaving the villa, Ling Yi did not return to the capital, but instead rode her horse to the village where she used to live.

I thought you would wait.

Ling Yi said casually, "Actually, I didn't intend to kill him so soon, but he was too annoying."

“Lin Zhuyu grew up with him, so it’s fine for him to protect her. But the worst thing he could do was bully his own sister to prove to Lin Zhuyu that he only recognizes her as his sister.”

"Damn it."

After listening, Tianyan didn't pursue the question further, but instead asked: "Why don't you go back to the country and instead return to the village?"

Ling Yi said, “I have incurred the wrath of Lin Tianliang and Lin Zhuyu to the fullest extent. They will not let me go. Only if I leave can they have time to arrange for someone to deal with me. As for why I went back to the village, it was to take precautions in advance. They can’t do anything to me, so they will definitely try to capture my parents to deal with me. It’s better for me to come back and guard the village first. If one comes, I will kill one; if two come, I will kill both.”

Looks like you'll be able to unlock your powers soon.

Ling smiled and replied, "That's what I think too."

...

Lingjia Village.

As darkness fell, Ling Yi arrived at the village entrance, but before she could even go inside, she heard a mournful cry.
