In the novel "Quick Transmigration: The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder," Chapter 180, "Higher World 4," all the villagers hid inside their houses, fearing that any contact with Ruoshui would implicate them.

Ruoshui didn't bother with them. These villagers had lived at the bottom of society for a long time and were used to being oppressed; they had become numb to it.

Moreover, when they handed over their daughter, they didn't seem to hesitate at all. On the contrary, they seemed to be glad that they didn't have to pay crystals after handing over their daughter, thinking it was a great deal.

Ruoshui walked over and looked at the group of pitiful women who had been handed over by their relatives.

They were still tied up with ropes. The people responsible for collecting taxes had died too quickly, and for a moment they were confused and didn't know what to do.

Ruoshui walked over, casually waved her hand, and unleashed a series of energy blades, instantly snapping the ropes binding their injuries into several pieces that fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, they quickly went over and knelt before Ruoshui, saying:

"Thank you for saving us, our benefactor."

"Thank you, benefactor."

“Benefactor, you should leave quickly. Those people you just killed were from the floating island. Recently, the island lord has been scavenging crystals everywhere in order to prepare birthday gifts for higher-ranking people.”

"As for women, if they are pretty, they might be chosen and given to the adults on higher-level islands, while those of us with mediocre qualities will probably be captured and sold as slaves on floating islands in exchange for crystals."

"Yes, benefactor, you killed the island lord's men. The island lord will definitely not let this go. You should leave now."

Although they cared about Ruoshui, all their concern was unnecessary.

"Don't worry, just wait and see. In a couple of days, we'll hear the news of the island lord's destruction," Ruo said calmly.

When Ruoshui spoke, her tone was very light, as if she were talking about what to eat today, but for some reason, they felt that what she said would definitely come true.

After rescuing the girls, Ruoshui inquired about some basic information about this world.

Most people in this world live on floating islands, while those who live on land are the lowest level of people.

The higher you go, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, the more resources you have, and the richer the floating island becomes.

Spaceships travel between these floating islands. At higher altitudes, to facilitate the movement of spaceships, the heights of nearby floating islands are adjusted to be roughly the same, forming an archipelago of floating islands. This archipelago has twelve layers and is known as the Twelve Heavens.

From bottom to top, the lowest point is the earth, inhabited by people and spirit beasts with little spiritual power.

Further up are some scattered floating islands, more than 500 in total, none of which are very wealthy.

Above these scattered floating islands lies a connected archipelago, which is the first layer of the twelve heavens.

The people in the twelfth heaven are very wealthy. It is said that the people in the high heaven have created all kinds of machines that can capture the rich spiritual energy in the air as energy to serve people's lives.

High in the heavens, spiritual energy has been applied to people's daily lives, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

It's fair to say that the land, and the people on these fragmented islands, are much like the backward rural areas.

The people of the Twelfth Heaven are highly developed, equivalent to a metropolis, because they have countless machines powered by spiritual energy to replace human labor.

These are common knowledge in this world, but these people on Earth have never been to the floating islands at higher levels, so they don't know what the twelfth heaven is like.

Although the women were rescued, they didn't seem to have any intention of going back.

It makes sense; his most trusted family members had abandoned him, and there was no point in staying in this village any longer.

However, none of that concerns Ruoshui; Ruoshui has no obligation to take responsibility for their lives.

Having learned the basic information about this world from these women, Ruoshui had achieved her goal and there was no need for her to stay any longer.

After leaving the village, Ruoshui took out a spaceship directly from the dimensional shop and flew to the nearest floating island.

Ruoshui stopped the spaceship at the edge of the floating island, opened the hatch, and stepped out.

Standing on the edge of the floating island, Ruoshui had a strange feeling looking down. She was standing on flat ground covered with green grass, and looking down, she saw an endless expanse of land.

Ruoshui turned around, put away the spaceship, and walked towards the center of the island.

For ordinary people, if they want to go to higher islands, they can only buy tickets at the vocational school stations on each island and take a spaceship, going up from island to island.

But Ruoshui is different. Ruoshui has a dimensional shop, so she can just take whatever she needs. She has a spaceship and plenty of food, so she can just go to Aura's house wherever she wants.

The reason Ruoshui stayed on this floating island was because of what happened before. Ruoshui said that if she wanted to get those 990,000 medium crystals, she would definitely go.

Before long, Ruoshui appeared on the streets of the island.

Just as the women on the ground described, although the island was not developed, its central area was similar to a relatively prosperous ancient street.

On both sides of the street are all kinds of shops and restaurants, and you can also see one or two brothels from time to time.

The streets are covered with all sorts of stalls, and there's a constant flow of people.

Having just returned from a mission in an interstellar world filled with spaceships, seeing such a rustic, ancient-style street has a unique charm.

Ruoshui took some crystals from the dimensional shop and casually bought some snacks, enjoying them while appreciating the island's cultural atmosphere.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Suddenly a loud shout came from ahead, accompanied by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.

The crowd scattered to both sides as if fleeing, and the roadside vendors hurriedly moved their stalls to the sides. If they were knocked over, these powerful figures would not only refuse to compensate them, but might even beat them up for blocking their way.

These streets are mostly filled with pedestrians and vendors. These rich kids often ride their horses through the streets in a swaggering manner, without caring whether they will hurt pedestrians.

The crowds on both sides made way, but Ruoshui still held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand and swaggered down the middle of the road.

Soon, the man on horseback arrived in front of Ruoshui.

Although Ruoshui was standing in the middle of the road, the street was so wide that even though the man was riding a horse, there was still enough space for him to pass.

But the man on horseback stopped in anger.

The rider on the horse was a young man, who was fairly good-looking. He rode up on the horse, followed by several followers dressed in the same clothes.

Seeing that Ruoshui was so beautiful, he wanted to make things difficult for her.

"Who are you, daring to block my path?" The man on horseback asked Zhuo Daoquan.

“Heh, blocking the way? This road is so wide, there’s plenty of room for you to pass on both sides,” Ruoshui said.

"Who do you take me for, that I should walk around you?" the man said with a gloomy expression.

Ruoshui didn't want to waste any more words with him. For someone like that, just beat him until he kneels down and calls her "father."

Just then, a man walked out from the side, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking every bit the noble young master.

"Brother Xuan, please give me some face and let this young lady go," the man with the fan said, feigning elegance.

"Ha, I've done all the bad stuff, while you've become the good guy," the rider said with a sneer.

"So, Brother Xuan, you're not going to give me face and won't let me go?" the man with the fan said.

"So what if I don't let go? What can you do to me?" The man on horseback showed no intention of backing down.

The atmosphere between the two men was extremely tense, as if they were about to fight at any moment. The onlookers, on the other hand, were somewhat envious of Ruoshui, who was standing in the middle of the road, and who had managed to get the scions of two powerful families to fight because of her.

Just as tensions were rising, a clear female voice rang out:

"You're blocking my way, please move aside."

The speaker was Ruoshui.

Ruoshui is no ordinary woman; she's not buying into this cliché hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope. Besides, these two are way too self-important, acting like they're some kind of amazing people. Ruoshui has no time to watch their performance.

When Ruoshui said that, the two people who were about to fight both looked at Ruoshui's side, and were immediately extremely embarrassed, especially the one with the fan.

He originally wanted to try and win Ruoshui's favor because she was so beautiful, but it seemed that Ruoshui didn't need his help at all.

Since Ruoshui had already said that, someone who genuinely wanted to help would have already stormed off in anger. However, he remained standing there, clearly harboring ulterior motives towards Ruoshui.

Beautiful things always attract attention.

It was obvious to everyone that Ruoshui didn't want his help. The man with the fan still refused to leave. Although Ruoshui wasn't one to fall for the "hero saves the beauty" trope, he didn't want to let such a stunning beauty like Ruoshui go.

Before the two could say anything, Ruoshui spoke coldly again: "You're blocking my way, don't make me say it again."

"Haha, brother, it seems she's not buying your hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act. Let's grab her together and then discuss who gets to keep her," the man on horseback said.

"Good..." The one with the fan had just opened his mouth, barely uttering the word "good," when Ruoshui on the opposite side waved her hand, and in an instant, countless daggers flew towards them.

"Whoosh whoosh".

The daggers were incredibly fast, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Before the two men could even turn around, the daggers were already in front of them, the time it took for them to even turn their eyes.

Their bodies reacted faster than their brains, and a circular protective shield formed by spiritual energy instantly covered the two men's bodies.

This defensive shield is from the Twelfth Heaven, although it's not considered a rare item there.

However, it is clear that only powerful individuals can afford to live on these lower-level fragmented islands.

This protective shield has an automatic defense function and is usually shaped like a wearable piece of jewelry.

However, once attacked, a defensive shield will be automatically generated.

This shield is also a special item that can defend against 80% of attacks.

Although the rules of the item are absolutely mandatory, no matter how strong your attack is, 80% of it will be deflected after hitting this defensive shield.

However, when masters clash, the remaining 20% ​​is enough to determine the outcome.

Although the two rich kids were startled by the speed of the dagger, they naively believed that they wouldn't die here today because of the protective shield.

"Bang".

The moment the defensive shield was deployed and came into contact with the dagger, it was completely reduced to dust.

The dagger continued its relentless attack on them without slowing down in the slightest.

Countless painful sounds rang out as the daggers pierced the bodies of the two men.

"what!"

Two agonizing screams ripped through the sky before fading away.

People saw that the two people who had been fine just moments before were now lying on the ground, their bodies covered in daggers, silent, their fate unknown.

After the two men fell, Ruoshui ignored the panicked crowd and walked forward to the two men.

He casually kicked their bodies aside, as if kicking away some tangled piece of trash, revealing a path.

Once Ruoshui left, the crowd erupted in chaos.

"Who is this person? Why did the defensive barrier break in an instant?"

"These two young masters are not wronged. There are always people more capable than you, and they have gotten into trouble with someone more powerful because they are used to being domineering."

"Do you think the defensive shields those two young masters used were defective or faulty? How come they broke?"

"Who knows?"

At this moment, a person standing in the crowd glanced at the two people on the ground, then looked in the direction Ruoshui had left, and murmured:

"The power of chaos... just who is that girl?"

The most magnificent mansion on the island is somewhat like a small palace.

The red gate of the island lord's mansion is very impressive, and a plaque hangs on the gate with the three large characters "Island Lord's Mansion" prominently displayed.

On either side of the entrance, there is a stone lion, which looks very majestic.

I must say, this island lord's mansion does look rather grand.

Two guards, armed with spears and wearing armor, stood at the gate on duty.

At that moment, a woman walked towards us. She was dressed in a black robe and was walking slowly with elegant steps.

Outside the island lord's mansion, a crowd of people came and went. Ruoshui's outstanding appearance attracted the attention of most people as soon as she appeared.

Ruoshui was dressed in a black robe, exuding an indescribable mystery and nobility, with her black hair slightly curled, soft, and glossy.

A pair of eyes, deep and serene, bright as if stars had been crushed and scattered within them, yet no matter what one looked into them, it was impossible to discern what the owner of those eyes was thinking.

"Stop right there!"

As soon as Ruoshui arrived, the two gatekeepers immediately pointed their spears at her.

One of the guards said to the other, "Quickly report to the island lord that the person the young master mentioned has arrived, hurry!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, before the person next to him could turn around, he saw the woman opposite him wave her hand gently.

With just a gentle wave, the gatekeeper seemed to see a powerful hurricane rushing towards him. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He then felt his body fly backward uncontrollably, seemingly crashing into the gate of the island lord's mansion.

But the momentum did not slow down at all. The door was also shattered into pieces by the powerful hurricane and flew back countless meters around him before stopping.

Just then, a middle-aged man's voice rang out: "I've been waiting for you for so long, today I'm going to make sure you don't leave alive!"
