Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

By the time Yan Jue found Yan Xi by following various clues, it was all over.

Pushing aside the grass obstructing the view, a strong smell of blood wafted out, and everything was red, as if everything had been covered in blood.

Even the hand he used to part the grass was stained with undried blood.

Yan Xi sat on the ground, covered in wounds, being half-held in the arms of a silver-haired woman. Her eyes were closed, and she held a dagger to the woman's neck in her right hand.

Behind the two, three corpses were entangled and impaled by dark green thorns, their heads drooping limply, blood dripping from their arms onto the grass.

"Sister!"

Yan Jue called out and quickly ran to Yan Xi's side, as if only then noticing the stranger beside her. He wanted to snatch Yan Xi away, but he was afraid of hurting her, and also afraid that the other person would hurt her, so his brows furrowed tightly.

"who are you?"

The man didn't speak, but simply looked up and glanced at him, his eyes icy and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You...Mo Ran?!"

Yan Jue's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this person have changed so much in just half a day?

With silver hair, a dark green dress, a strange headdress shaped like vines, and ear tips that protrude in a way that is distinctly elven, she exudes a noble and aloof aura...

If it weren't for that face and pale green eyes, you really wouldn't be able to tell that it's the same person as the previous Mo Ran.

"Indeed, it's true that I learned from you, and it's true that I set up a trap, but I didn't do anything to betray you..." Mo Ran ignored Yan Jue, turned back to stare intently at Yan Xi, her expression gentle yet serious.

"At first, I didn't recognize you—you were a human then, and I'd never seen you before. I thought they'd sent the wrong person, so I went along with it and did two things... After I recognized you, I stopped doing anything..."

As she spoke, she noticed Yan Xi's hand holding the dagger tremble slightly, and then added, "If I had known it was you, I would have confronted you... I'm not good at, nor do I like, scheming."

Good-looking people always evoke a bit of pity, especially someone like Yan Xi, who is a top-tier fan of good looks (even though she can't see it).

Besides, her explanation was quite logical and even seemed to make some sense—at least it was true that she had never met Yan Xi.

"I came for you, not on a mission."

Seeing that she seemed to be wavering, Mo Ran pressed on.

Yan Xi raised an eyebrow and with a flick of her wrist, she put away the dagger.

That's it, she thought. Holding her arm up like this was too tiring and sore. She had lost too much blood and could no longer bear the movement. She could barely hold the dagger.

Yan Xi moved her eyes and slowly exhaled, "Congratulations on getting rid of your status as a prop... So fast, should I praise you as the most powerful Elf King in the history of the Light Elf race?"

Mo Ran's expression remained gentle, not changing at all despite her deliberate sarcasm. "The seal has been loosening for a long time; it's just a matter of time."

Yan Jue, who had been listening for a long time: ? ? ?

What are you saying?

What mission, what seal, what Elf King?

Do you dare to say something he can understand?

In response to his request, Yan Xi replied: "I wouldn't dare, I'm not your sister!"

Sensing Yan Jue's intense resentment beside her, Yan Xi coughed twice and handed the Fire Essence Eye to Yan Jue, "Take the Fire Essence Eye to Huo Liaoye in a bit, then take him to the human world to find me... Remember to tell him not to forget the gemstone eye he promised me."

"Oh, right, take her away. I don't want to see her for now." Yan Xi paused for a moment before adding, "Take her to the tea plantation."

"Then, sister..." Yan Jue frowned, looking at the bloody corpse behind Yan Xi, feeling both puzzled and a little cold.

Humans? When did so many humans arrive in Fairyland?

It wasn't that he found the scene terrifying; in fact, he felt absolutely nothing about it. A few humans, they were dead, but... they had hurt his sister...

Yan Jue's amber-colored vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and an endless surge of malevolence welled up in his heart.

Tsk, humans... they're truly damned!

……

"I'll take her back to the human world."

Suddenly a voice rang out, and then Yan Xi was pulled out of Mo Ran and the other person's sight by a force.

Mo Ran and Yan Jue simultaneously gathered their immortal power, and their attacks were launched directly from their hands.

The person was wearing a gray hoodie, black ripped jeans, and a black casual jacket, with striking short, misty blue hair.

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment when she saw that face. With a wave of her hand, her attack immediately changed direction and crashed into Yan Jue's immortal power. The two balls of light collided in mid-air and exploded into a cloud of dust.

"stupid……"

"My name is Yin Yuan." The man took Yan Xi into his arms, looked at the silver-haired elf not far away with a blank expression, and said three sentences in a cold voice.

“You’re not in a stable state right now. If you can’t control your evil thoughts—she can’t withstand a single blow from you right now.”

"The tea plantation is her territory, and no one will disturb her."

"It's already very good that she's still willing to make arrangements for you."

After saying that, he turned around with great style and disappeared from their sight with an air of indifference.

Yan Jue was a little confused, and opened his mouth, "He..."

“Friend Yan Xi.” Mo Ran stood up, seemingly unconcerned about the blood-stained clothes on her body, and said to Yan Jue, “Let’s go, don’t keep her waiting.”

……

"Damn, you really did yourself to look like this."

That idiot, Yin Yuan, put Yan Xi under a tree, helped her sit up, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Yan Xi opened her eyes, staring unfocusedly in Yin Yuan's direction. She didn't reply, but changed the subject, saying, "I only let you go out for four hours, why did you change your look?"

"Four hours?! Do you have any idea how agonizing those four hours were?! I was so bored I was playing dress-up games on myself!"

"...You should quit your internet addiction."

Yan Xi's lips twitched. "I just didn't let you bring electronic devices out, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Impossible, I'm telling you!" Yin Yuan rolled his eyes and suddenly threw a pill into Yan Xi's mouth.

Caught off guard, Yan Xi choked, nearly choking on her own breath. She patted her chest, coughing until tears streamed down her face. "Cough cough cough cough cough... Damn it! You big idiot, are you trying to murder me?!"

"Cough..." Yin Yuan coughed strategically, his right fist covering his lips, a little guilty. "Sorry, I forgot you're injured."

Yan Xi: Shuan Q, I fucking will thank you.

Although the person was not very reliable, the pills were truly amazing. In just a few seconds, most of Yan Xi's injuries were healed, and the remaining injuries were also repairing at a very impressive speed.

However, aside from her eyes and the cuts she made herself with a dagger.

Yan Xi wiped away her tears and took out a yellowish-brown talisman from her pinky ring. "Have the messages been sent out?"

Yin Yuan stood up, turned around and took two steps, setting up a barrier around Yan Xi to prevent her from being spied on. He nodded and said, "I've sent everything I can to Rejep."

"What about Fourth Sister..."

"Don't worry, it's already been agreed upon."

Yan Xi's voice came from behind the barrier, "The bait has been cast and the net has been set up. Now, we just need to wait for the fish to swim out on their own."

Yin Yuan crossed his arms, his gaze calm. "In a few days, this world will be in chaos..."

"It's easier to fish in troubled waters."

As Yan Xi spoke, she stepped out from behind the barrier. She had changed into a different red dress, and her hair was neatly styled with a red highlight on the side of her head that swayed slightly. However, her eyes remained unfocused.

Suddenly, she moved her finger, and a red coil appeared on her index finger.

"Oh, the jade pendant broke?" Yin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "This is the first one to break. Who else did it?"

Yan Xi blinked. "Little girl."

"I can't not go there, but I can't leave here..." Yan Xi scratched her head and sighed helplessly.

"Fine, leave this body here, I'll take the real body with me." After thinking for a moment, Yan Xi made the decision directly.

"you sure?"

“There are gods over there, and the energy bodies are carrying three seals. Going there would be suicide… The shackles of the Heavenly Dao prevent me from destroying the world or killing gods, so my physical body is the best choice.” Yan Xi said, raising her hand to form a hand seal. “Besides, sharing one head won’t cause any problems.”

After saying that, the body suddenly stopped, the light in its eyes disappeared, and after a long time it moved a finger as if it were restarting.

……

Deep within the fairyland, in the tea forest, beneath the wisteria sea, a ripple suddenly appeared in the blood pool of the palace, and a naked woman emerged from it.

……

The human world, the courtyard house.

Yin Yuan looked at Yan Xi, who was clearly not connected to the internet and was as dazed as a puppet, and sighed helplessly. Looking at the withered yellow leaves falling outside, he suddenly realized that the timeline was messed up.

He smiled helplessly and said, "These are turbulent times..."
