Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

After exchanging a few blows with Yin Yuan, Yan Xi sheathed her sword, looked at the golden sun in the sky, then at the red rope extending from her finger, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"The Ye Luoli warriors who protect the world are being bullied by the humans they are protecting..."

With a mocking laugh, Yan Xi grabbed Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye's arms with one hand, snapped her fingers with the other, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap of the fingers rang out, and the purplish-red hands trembled and began to rotate clockwise with a "click, click." The next second, the dial collapsed, turning into purplish-red specks of light and dissipating into the air.

Time has begun to flow again.

Yin Yuan pursed his lips and looked up to find himself facing a surveillance camera emitting a red glow.

Yinyuan: ...

$

Elite Future High School.

Zina clutched the shoulder strap of her small bag, huddled up, and endured the sarcastic remarks with red-rimmed eyes.

Opposite her, several people sneered, their eyes revealing arrogance and disdain for Qi Na.

The girl in the lead had her hair in a bun and was quite pretty, but the mockery in her eyes ruined her beauty. She stood with her hands on her hips, pointing with one finger and making sarcastic remarks.

Having been ridiculed for not having parents since childhood, Qi Na had gotten used to it, but after losing Fei Ling yesterday, she became so fragile that she could break at the slightest touch.

Seeing Qi Na's weak appearance, Ye Zhi smiled disdainfully, shoving her as she mocked her. Qi Na lost her balance and fell to the ground, a red object falling out of her small bag and shattering into pieces with a crash.

"Oh, a jade pendant? With your family's financial situation, you still have a pendant? You didn't steal it, did you?"

Ye Zhi squatted down, glanced at it casually, not paying attention to the jade pendant, and habitually mocked, raising her hand to poke Qi Na's shoulder.

Suddenly, a shadow fell, and a soft hand reached out from above and to the right of Zina's shoulder, grasping Yeats's outstretched fingers.

Ye Zhi was startled and looked up sharply. She saw a woman in a red dress slowly squat down, holding her fingers with one hand and placing the other on Qi Na's shoulder, her expression cold and devoid of any emotion.

"The pendant was a gift from me. Do you have a problem with that?"

The woman curled her lips into a smile, a cold glint in her eyes. She forcefully pried the object upwards with her hand, her voice gentle yet sharp, as if carrying a hidden hook: "If you have any objections, keep them to yourself."

Yeats let out a scream, yanked her finger back, and continued to wail. The men behind her, who had been captivated by her beauty, were startled back to their senses by her shrill voice. Seeing this, they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to rush forward.

Two more shadowy figures appeared. Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye stepped forward, blocking the group. Both were dressed in casual suits; one was a refined young master, the other a gangster boss. Their mere presence commanded respect, stunning the students.

"You! Who are you?!" Ye Zhi finally realized that they didn't look like students. She wailed while clutching her fingers, and then yelled at them to ask if they knew who her father was, saying she would teach them a lesson.

Yan Xi helped Qi Na up, patted her head, glanced at Ye Zhi with interest, and then gestured with her chin to Yan Jue and Huo Liaoye, "Give those guys a beating, and as for this woman... slap her a couple of times to shut her up."

Yan Jue raised an eyebrow, holding a folding fan in one hand. He elegantly began to roll up his sleeves, casually picking one at a time, and said, "Sister, I don't hit women."

Compared to Yan Jue's elegance, Huo Liaoye was much more rugged. He took off his white coat, threw it at Yan Xi, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed into the crowd. While crushing the weaker opponents, he also teased Yan Jue, "Stop dawdling, I'll fight."

Yan Xi grabbed the collar of her coat, casually tossed it over her shoulder, glanced at Qi Na, and said, "You two just need to take care of those few scoundrels, she..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice interrupted.

"I'll fight."

Yan Xi and Qi Na turned their heads and saw a delicate-looking silver-haired boy standing in the shadows around the corner. His school uniform made him appear thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. On his shoulder sat an exotic-looking doll.

"Feng Yinsha?" Ye Zhi gritted her teeth, her beautiful face contorted with pain and anger.

Feng Yinsha walked over slowly, one hand in his pocket, ignoring Ye Zhi, and looked at Yan Xi with a slight smile, "Yan Xi, what brings you here?"

Yan Xi blinked, casually stuffed Huo Liaoye's coat into his arms, and then tiptoed to touch his hair. The corners of her lips, which had been pursed, finally curved into a smile.

"I'll tell you in a bit, okay?"

Feng Yinsha bent down slightly and let her massage him a couple more times, then smiled faintly and said, "Okay."

In an instant, Yan Xi felt her mood soar. Sure enough, little puppies are the most healing. They're so cute and cuddly, and they even let you pat their heads. Unlike Yan Jue, that big bad wolf, who always has that sly smile and makes you wonder what he's thinking. He's also quite clever and not easily fooled.

……

Yan Xi placed her hands on Qi Na's shoulders, her unfocused eyes reflecting Qi Na's image.

"They laugh at you for having no friends, no parents... If I brought your parents and Fei Ling back, and then made you slap her a few times, would you be willing?"

Qi Na was stunned, staring at the eyes that reflected her own image. She thought she had misheard, but suddenly her vision blurred, tears welled up, and she choked out, "W-what did you say..."

……

Feng Yinsha slightly raised his fingertips, freezing Yeats, who was about to sneak away, in place. Then, he lowered his head and pretended to be a telephone pole.

Yan Jue knocked someone unconscious with a single blow from his fan. Turning around, he witnessed this scene. A glint of light flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and he thought to himself: This kid is something else, he's even better at pretending than him.

Huo Liaoye threw the last person to the ground, glanced at Yan Jue, and snorted unhappily, "Another damn innocent wolf cub pretending to be innocent..."

……

Yan Xi touched Qi Na's hair and gently wiped away the tears on her face, her voice soft.

"I said, if you could exchange your parents and Fei Ling for slapping her a few times, would you be willing?"

Qi Na stared intently into her starry eyes, seeing the seriousness and tenderness within them. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and all her feigned strength crumbled, unleashing the pent-up grievances she had kept hidden for years.

Tears streamed down her face like broken beads. She threw herself into Yan Xi's arms, not crying loudly, but just whimpering like a young animal.

"I...I want...I want...Dad...Mom...I want Feiling...I don't want to be alone..."

She was sobbing uncontrollably, yet she still tried to speak, managing only to utter a few words at a time.

Yan Xi wrapped her arms around her, unable to say anything comforting, so she gently patted her back, her voice very soft, "You're not alone, you still have me..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said that, Qi Na cried even harder.

Yan Xi was stunned. Her arm around Qi Na stiffened, and she was at a loss for what to do. After a minute, she remembered that she had outside help, and then she winked and asked the three of them for help.

Huo Liaoye snorted again, annoyed. Although Yan Xi looked quite cute, the girl in her arms was just an eyesore.

But to get him to coax someone... it's easier to make them cry.

Yan Jue blinked, his peach blossom eyes also containing three parts smile and seven parts dissatisfaction. Then he spread his hands and snapped open his folding fan to cover his face.

He was terrible at charming girls; he'd never charmed anyone except his older sister in his entire life. Although he was annoyed, there was nothing he could do.

Yan Xi was numb, and her clothes on her chest were soaked with Qi Na's tears.

Seeing this, Feng Yinsha shook his head and sighed. Judging from Yan Xi's expression, if this wasn't resolved soon, she would probably end up crying along with Qi Na.

He stepped forward, put one hand on Qi Na's shoulder, patted her twice, and then suddenly used a clever trick to push Qi Na away. Then, seeing Yan Xi's chest close to her skin, his ears turned red, and he raised his hand to put his coat on her.

"Stop crying, or the deal will be canceled."
