Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

Guan Ling said "Oh" again.

After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "I see it's you."

"Wh-what?" The girl looked flustered, whether from Guan Ling's words or her cold expression, it was hard to tell.

Guan Ling did not answer, but simply closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was even colder, and even carried a hint of murderous intent.

"Guan Yi".

"If I were really stupid, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today."

Guan Yi trembled even more violently, her teeth chattering: "No, no, it's not..."

She seemed to want to argue, but quickly changed her tactics: "No! Sister, I didn't mean to harm you! I meant to harm Zhang Chao and the others!"

"They bullied me! I hate them so much! I just want them dead!"

"Yes! I just want them dead! Sister, you have a teleportation talisman! I didn't mean to harm you!"

He spoke very quickly, but still sounded very flustered.

In this case……

Guan Ling, of course, couldn't believe it!

In fact, she didn't have a teleportation talisman!

When Guan Yi first went to the Beast World, she begged her for a teleportation talisman.

If it weren't for the fact that Liao Yuanfeng had a teleportation talisman...

Guan Ling will die there too!

As she said—

The fact that she has grown to where she is today proves that she is not stupid!

There was a sound of "咻"!

The fiery red whip wrapped around Guan Yi suddenly loosened.

A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Yi's eyes.

However, the next second, the long whip suddenly wrapped around her neck and slowly tightened!

The surprise instantly turned into horror!

Guan Yi instinctively reached for the whip rope around her neck with both hands.

Her slightly pointed fingernails left shocking bloodstains on her slender, fair neck, which was as delicate as a white swan's!

Her eyes rolled back in her head.

The near-death experience left her with only endless despair in her eyes!

Then, just when she thought she was about to be mercilessly strangled to death by her own sister.

Air is being reintroduced!

The vicious force that had been wrapped around her neck had also dissipated!

she……

We're saved?!

however.

Just as Guan Yi coughed a few times and gasped for breath...

But then a cold, condescending voice drifted down from above:

"Tell me the truth before you die—"

"why?"

It was Guan Ling's questioning voice, devoid of any emotion or fluctuation.

At that moment, Guan Yi suddenly looked up, no longer hiding the hatred in her eyes!

With bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, she screamed hysterically, "I hate you! I hate you! You deserve to die a horrible death—"

The sound of the word "death" was only pronounced halfway.

The force that had been released now wrapped around her neck again.

Guan Yi just stared at her with wide eyes.

Dead.

Guan Ling did not remove the long whip that was wrapped around his sister's neck for a long time.

It was as if the person hadn't died as long as the body hadn't fallen.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked up at a branch high up on an ancient tree beside her and asked, "Have you seen enough?"

In fact, Jiang Yi had no intention of letting go of the person who wanted to harm him.

Although that person's original intention may not have been to harm him.

However, it's fortunate that he didn't take direct action.

Well, here comes a good show.

He jumped straight down from the tree, landing firmly on his feet.

At this moment, Guan Ling's astonishingly calm expression returned to its usual aloofness.

With a flick of her wrist, she withdrew the whip, and Guan Yi's body fell to the ground.

Jiang Yi watched from the side, his face expressionless.

However, raising an eyebrow, he asked a question:

"Why don't you ask her why she hates you?"

Guan Ling walked to the ancient tree, leaned back slightly, and lit a slender cigarette.

"Why? Does it make sense?"

Yeah, is it meaningful?

Once, or rather in his previous life, when Jiang Yi was betrayed by Tang Ke, he always wanted to know why.

He asked himself, "During college, I had such a close relationship with Tang Ke."

And before that betrayal, he had not done anything to wrong Tang Ke.

Tang Ke had no reason to hate him.

Even before the apocalypse, Tang Ke was not the kind of person who was ungrateful and heartless.

Everything seemed to happen without warning.

For a long time in his past life, Jiang Yi really couldn't understand it.

until……

Guan Ling exhaled a smoke ring, then suddenly blurted out:

"You feel……"

Is human nature always like this?

"Did it become like this after the apocalypse?"

Jiang Yi did not answer immediately.

He recalled a scene from the movie *Léon: The Professional* where a 12-year-old girl asked—

Is life always this difficult? Or is it just childhood that's so tough?

Then, the answer she received was—

"always like this."
