[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Ruan Qian'an hung up the phone, looking at Huo Jingmo with heartache, her soft, boneless hand stroking his forehead. She traced his features with adoration.

Then he removed the scales from Huo Jingmo's neck and hung them around Huo Jingmo's neck.

"Please, don't be afraid."

Ruan Qian'an uttered words that sounded like a plea.

Don't be afraid of anyone hurting you, because I am here. Don't be afraid of me, because I will not hurt you anymore.

Please believe me.

She dared not say these words to Huo Jingmo. She could not ask him for forgiveness, nor did she dare to see Huo Jingmo in her original form again. Ruan Qian'an cursed herself for being a coward.

Ruan Qian'an straightened up and walked out the door, turning back every few steps.

Then, turning to Junfan who was standing outside the door, he said, "Keep an eye on things."

The scales on Ruan Qian'an's face had not completely disappeared, and her thick eyelashes were still silvery-white, but they were all covered by sunglasses.

Junfan asked, "Boss, where are you going?"

Ruan Qian'an smiled strangely: "Let's meet up with my former lover."

Junfan: "Ew, it's so cold."

Ruan Qian'an arrived at the hall she had just been in.

Chen Siqi stood next to Xiao Yun, saying something, while Yan Ling sat to the side, watching them listlessly.

Yan Ling glanced to the side and saw Ruan Qian'an. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Boss, you've changed your face back."

"It looks better this way. Kun's deadpan face makes me feel sick to my skin."

Ruan Qian'an ignored the words of the spirit and went straight to Xiao Yun.

The ground next to Xiao Yun was covered with shards of glass stained with blood.

The hoarse sounds he was making indicated that a shard of glass had cut his trachea.

Xiao Yun struggled to look up from the ground and saw Ruan Qian'an coming over. He felt like he had seen a savior.

Ruan Qian'an chuckled and squatted down, saying softly to him, "Look at how disheveled you are."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun reached out to grab her, wanting her to save him, but Ruan Qian'an dodged him: "Don't you know who I am?"

When Xiao Yun saw the same sunglasses as the woman who had stuffed glass shards into his mouth, he realized they were the same person.

Instantly terrified, it retreated backward, making rapid hoarse noises as if to say, "Don't come any closer."

Ruan Qian'an stepped on Xiao Yun's hand: "Didn't you say you loved me? Why are you running away? Treating me like this will make me sad."

Ruan Qian'an shook her head and sighed, "It's all your fault. What if Huo Jingmo misunderstands something?"

"How should I treat you?"

Xiao Yun waved his hand, begging for mercy repeatedly, indicating that he would never dare to do it again.

Ruan Qian'an said with a fierce expression, "Who gave you permission to touch him?"

Then his expression turned into a smile: "Let's sew your mouth shut."

Xiao Yun looked at Chen Siqi in panic, his body trembling like a leaf.

Ruan Qian'an's face was completely white, but blood was splattered all over her face.

"Oops, sorry, I punctured a major artery."

Ruan Qian'an tilted her head, looked at Xiao Yun whose life was slipping away, and said to Yan Ling, "Don't let him die."

The Word Spirit stood by and said, "Yes."

As Ruan Qian'an walked away, Yan Ling looked at Chen Siqi with some concern and asked, "Are you alright? Boss rarely lets you see such bloody scenes."

"It seems she's really angry this time."

Chen Siqi: "Do you think the boss is scary?"

Chen Siqi looked at Xiao Yun and said, "She can be ruthless and even turn on someone she once loved."

He then looked at the door where Ruan Qian'an had walked out: "She also lays her hands on the person she loves now without any mercy. I have never seen her show any leniency."

The spirit asked blankly, "What do you mean by all this?"

Chen Siqi: "That's how it is with people you love."

Chen Siqi turned and looked deeply at Yan Ling, saying, "What about us?"

When Yan Ling heard Chen Siqi say this, his eyes were filled with fear: "Nonsense, we all know very well how good our boss is to us."

"Don't make fun of the boss!" The tone, however, carried a hint of uncertainty.

Chen Siqi did not answer her, but silently treated Xiao Yun, who was barely breathing and looked terrible, to keep him from dying.

Yan Ling continued, "If it weren't for her, we would have died long ago. She would never have attacked us."

Chen Siqi said indifferently, "She saved us out of curiosity, just because she thought it would be fun. She's a cold-blooded animal without any feelings."

“We are not important at all, it’s just that she needs us right now, and we can help her.”

Word of Power: "We are utterly unimportant?"

She recalled Ruan Qian'an's indifferent expression when they first met.

They have absolutely no regard for human life.

The dilapidated house, the rusty staircase, and the strange people living here.

The chaotic and unsupervised security situation has led to violence and bloodshed.

At first, nobody wanted to get involved, but in the end, no force could get involved.

This place is located at the border of Yun'an Kingdom and Louyue Kingdom and is near the sea, so for a time no one could control it.

Someone wearing a strange mask squatted on a high platform, striking iron with a stick to provide accompaniment for the people below who were hacking at each other.

All that could be seen was a woman in a white dress and boots, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, a stark contrast to the blood-stained scene.

There was no panic on her face as she walked towards the most chaotic area.

Then she stood there.

He said, "Please move aside."

Her crisp words stopped the fighting crowd, and they all looked at the reckless girl.

The person closest to her picked at their ear as if they'd heard a joke, then burst into loud laughter and said, "What are you talking about!"

"Little sister, you've come to the wrong place."

"Since we're already here, why don't we let the older brothers have a good taste of you?"

Countless hands, restless, tried to grab her.

Her cold expression remained unresponsive as she calmly watched the vicious people approaching her.

At this moment, the people squatting on the high place saw her and their pupils suddenly contracted. They used the iron bars they were carrying to forcefully strike the iron stairs.

The knocking was deafening.

Then he yelled, "All of you, stop fucking!"

The outstretched hands of the people below all stopped. They looked up at the people above. Although they were all extremely ruthless, they obeyed the orders of the few people squatting on the high place without daring to disobey.

Others said, "Yes, yes, no need for us to rush, let's share it with the leaders first."

The woman in white, with a cold expression, lifted her foot and walked in that direction.

Several people jumped down from above and shouted, "Get the hell out of my way!"

Upon hearing the masked man say this, the alley, which was originally crowded with people, was abruptly split into a path.

As the woman walked in, she said slowly, "So much time has passed, and the struggle here is still not over."

Each step he took was treading on blood.

The blood she stepped on splashed onto Yan Ling's face. Yan Ling lay on the ground, the wound on her head and the bruises around her eyes only allowing her to see a pair of military boots that stopped in front of her.

"Can you still stand up?"

Leaving behind a casual remark, the military boots walked away from the sight of the Word Spirit.

Yan Ling knew this was her chance to be saved. Her immense will to survive made her stand up and follow the people who were gradually walking away.

Yan Ling limped outside, his swollen eyes glancing at the crowd standing to the side.

These fierce-looking men just glared at her, but dared not stop her in the slightest.

Once they were out of sight, one of the blood-covered men finally dared to speak: "This little wench dared to barge in here, are we just going to let her get away with it?!"

The masked man, wielding a stick, swung it directly at the man's head without saying a word.

"How dare you insult my lord?"

When Yanling had followed her for quite some distance, he stopped and wanted to thank the woman, so he called out, "Wait a minute."

The woman kept a distance of two meters from her, neither too close nor too far.

The Word Spirit said, "Thank you."

The woman's beautiful eyes and brows came to life at that moment, and her gentle smile seemed to wash away much of the bloody smell in the air. However, her words left Yan Ling stunned.

"No need to thank me, I had a reason for saving you."

Yan Ling came to her senses and said, "Aqi, don't be afraid if this is the first time you've seen such a scene."

She said stiffly, "She did all this to protect us."

Chen Siqi looked at Yan Ling and gave a faint "hmm": "You've finally seen through it."

The two smiled at each other.
