[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

The surroundings fell into dead silence.

A suffocating atmosphere filled the air, as if time had stood still.

Bai Huang could feel the body beneath her stiffen like iron.

She slowly wiped her mouth, and suddenly, she jumped off the man like a nimble cat.

All his strength was concentrated in his legs, and he sped off towards the door like an arrow released from a bow.

Her speed was astonishing, and her shamelessness was even more astonishing.

At this moment, she no longer had any of the arrogance she had shown in Lingbao Tower.

"Bai! Huang!" came an angry roar from behind, "You stop right there!"

Luo Jing was completely shocked by what he saw.

He had countless ways to make Bai Huang obediently return, but at this moment, he didn't dare to move an inch.

The pungent smell almost engulfed him, and his eyes were so gloomy they seemed to drip water.

His attendants were at a loss, unsure whether to help their master change his clothes first or chase after that wretched Bai Huang.

From afar came Bai Huang's playful voice: "Sorry, handsome! I'm not going to stand still. Come and chase me if you dare!"

Bai Huang ran all the way to the Gu family's residence, bursting through the gate like a whirlwind, leaving the guards dumbfounded.

Once you're inside the Gu family home, you're safe!

Gu Nianci happened to see this scene.

Gu Nianci had already changed into gorgeous clothes and her makeup was exquisite and appropriate.

Especially those eyes; the moment they saw Bai Huang, they seemed to come alive.

She no longer had any trace of her former madness; she was now the epitome of a confident middle-aged lady.

"Good boy."

Overjoyed, she rushed forward and hugged Bai Huang, "Where have you been? You're all so dirty! Your mother has been looking for you for ages!"

The sound of "good boy" sent shivers down Bai Huang's spine and made her feel nauseous.

But she had already promised Grandpa Gu that she would play the role of "good girl" well. She gently patted Gu Nianci's back. The kindness of this adoptive mother to her made her feel the sincere maternal love.

"Mother, I just went out for a casual stroll." Bai Huang paused, then added, "I stopped by Lingbao Tower and even got into a fight with someone, but..."

"Who bullied you?" Gu Nianci's tone instantly turned icy cold. "Anyone who dares to touch a hair on my darling's head, I'll make them regret it!"

These words made Bai Huang feel a pang of sadness, and she couldn't help but think of the cold-hearted Madam Bai.

If Madam Bai had received even a tenth of Gu Nianci's love, perhaps the former "Bai Huang" wouldn't have been so desperate about life that she let Gu Nianci take over her body.

"It's nothing serious, I've already taken care of it." Bai Huang suppressed the urge to cry, and remembering the upcoming grand test, said, "Mother, I need to go cultivate."

"Good, good, good!" Gu Nianci was completely immersed in the joy of doting on her daughter. "Mother has already put some profound techniques and cultivation methods in your room. You can study them slowly."

Bai Huang had long been itching for the mystical techniques of this world, and upon hearing this, she immediately ran to her room.

Gu Nianci watched her departing figure with tender affection until Bai Huang disappeared from sight, at which point her expression gradually darkened.

"Shadow!" she shouted into the void.

A moment later, a dark figure emerged from the shadows in the corner, like an invisible black mist, so dark that even the eyes could not see through it.

"What happened at Lingbao Tower just now, Miss?" Her eyes flashed with a cold light. "You need to explain everything to me in detail."
