After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Xiao Ran and Chen Zijin had only taken a few steps when they heard several people rushing back. They had no choice but to squat behind a tree to see what was going on.

"Sister?" Chen Zijin looked at the girl in red in the distance and asked in surprise.

"Miss Chen, there was a girl wearing a veil at the time, and I didn't think much of it because she was so confident..."

"So you just let her let that girl go?" Chen Ruonan said angrily, pointing at the empty sack.

"I……"

"Go and call your boss back right now!"

Upon hearing that his boss needed to be called back, the man in black immediately panicked. "Miss, let me go find him again. There's no need to look for my boss; he's probably too busy with your mission right now..."

If his boss found out that he let the person go because he trusted someone too easily, he'd chop his head off!

At that moment, the girl in green whispered something in Chen Ruonan's ear.

Chen Ruonan then remembered her important matter and her anger subsided somewhat. "You must find that little girl for me! Otherwise, I will have you killed!"

"Yes Yes!"

Xiao Ran didn't care what happened next. She whispered to Chen Zijin, "We need to hurry up and leave now."

Chen Zijing, pale-faced, nodded.

Xiao Ran wasn't familiar with the route she was taking this time. After all, the main road was full of Chen Ruonan's people, so she couldn't go there. She could only rely on her instincts to find her way back.

As she led Chen Zijin through the mountains and forests, Chen Zijin's face grew paler and paler.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ran asked.

"...They betrayed us."

They were, as one can imagine, those girls whom Xiao Ran couldn't save.

If it's for survival, Xiao Ran understands perfectly well; isn't what she's doing now also for survival?

She was a little puzzled, though, how could Chen Zijin hear so clearly when she hadn't?

"Even if we let them go, they'll end up the same way." Xiao Ran looked at the darkening sky. Were they going to spend the night in the mountains?

Chen Zijin felt a little scared. If Xiao Ran hadn't said those things, she would have definitely gone to save them... Luckily, she listened to Miss Xiao's words.

Suddenly she heard a sound.

"Someone's coming."

Xiao Ran didn't hear it, but now that things were in such a precarious situation, she could only trust Chen Zijin.

"where?"

Chen Zijin listened carefully, “...to the east.”

Xiao Ran grabbed Chen Zijin's hand and ran towards the direction where the sun was setting.

After running for a while, Xiao Ran realized that in front of her was a cliff shrouded in mist, seemingly bottomless.

Chen Zijin said, "No, Miss Xiao, there are many of them, and they are very... fast."

She gripped Xiao Ran's hand tightly, her expression sorrowful. "Miss Xiao... what... what should we do?"

"useless."

Chen Zijing was stunned. What? Had she misheard?

"Boss! It's her!" came the familiar voice of the man in black.

Suddenly, a large number of men in black jumped out from behind the tree. The leader of the group sneered:

"Why don't you keep running?"

Even the狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face looked sinister in the setting sun.

"Would running even help?" Xiao Ran replied expressionlessly.

"Then prepare to die, Miss Xiao." After the leader of the men in black finished speaking, they swarmed forward.

Xiao Ran gripped the dagger hidden in her sleeve tightly, thinking that if the leader of the men in black came to capture her, she was fairly confident that she could kill him with one blow.

But Chen Zijin, who was beside him, seemed unable to bear it and collapsed to the ground.

"I...I don't want to die..."

Xiao Ran was speechless. Who was it that just said they would give up their life for her sister? Turns out it was just talk.

That makes sense, though. If he really wanted to die, he wouldn't have followed her to this place to escape.

"If you don't want to die, hide behind me," Xiao Ran's icy voice rang out.

After saying that, she pinched herself hard.

At this moment, the leader of the men in black ran up with a knife and saw Xiao Ran trembling all over with tears in her eyes.

"Can you please let us go..." Xiao Ran wiped away her tears, then took out her mother's pendant from her sleeve and took out the five-colored mermaid pearl. "My father will definitely give you a lot of rewards..."

Even in the setting sun, it remained so round and radiant.

The leader of the men in black froze. He had never seen a pearl of such high quality, no... such a perfect pearl, anywhere else!

He gestured for him to stop behind him, then put down his knife and laughed loudly, "So much for being from a military family, he's just a good-for-nothing, hahahaha."

He'll go up and grab the mermaid pearl, then kill her, and then he can get the luminous pearl. Wouldn't that be a huge profit?

Anyway, this girl looks frail and weak, and there's nothing he can do about it.

He was captivated by his clever idea, chuckled, sucked in his saliva, and then jogged over to Xiao Ran, gazing intently at the mermaid pearl clutched in Xiao Ran's hand as she sobbed.

He pretended to be nonchalant and reached out to take it, saying, "Give it to me."

All I saw was Xiao Ran opening her wet eyes, but her tone was incredibly stubborn: "Didn't your mother tell you not to easily believe a woman's tears?"

Before the men in black could react, Xiao Ran suddenly closed in and plunged a dagger into the chest of the leader of the men in black.

The leader of the men in black died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

The men in black around them were stunned. Suddenly, one of them shouted in a tearful voice, "You! You! You dared to kill our boss! I'll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Ran turned her head and saw the man in black who had been tricked by her before.

She chuckled. Didn't this guy remind his boss? Hadn't he already been fooled once before?

He was rushing towards us angrily, knife in hand, clearly enraged.

But she couldn't pull out the dagger at all. This was her first time killing someone, and she had used up all her strength. Moreover, she was just recovering from a serious illness.

She had no choice but to retreat step by step.

Along the way, he accidentally kicked Chen Zijin, who was kneeling on the ground trembling.

"Die!" The man in black swung his sword.

call out--

Suddenly! The man in black was shot down by an arrow, followed by the screams of other men in black as they fell to the ground.

But Chen Zijin had no time to pay attention to these changes.

Just now, Xiao Ran accidentally stepped back in her haste and fell off the cliff. At the critical moment, Chen Zijin grabbed her hands.

"Hold on tight!" Chen Zijin cried out, but she was already trembling with fear and had no strength left.

But she persisted, because she could feel that Xiao Ran was holding her hand very tightly.

She wants to live too, right?

But suddenly a dull, artificial voice slowly came from behind.

"let it go."

Chen Zijin turned her head with difficulty, but what she saw terrified her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

There was a strangely dressed man wearing a blue-faced, fanged mask with peculiar patterns.

Then he slowly squatted down and looked down at Chen Zijin. He saw that she was covered in sweat and her face was extremely red, clearly showing that she had used up all her strength.

"Or I'll kill you."

Chen Zijing saw the man's dagger flying towards her, and she instinctively closed her eyes. "Ah!"

Xiao Ran stared intently at the top. Her view was blocked by the stone, and she could only see the blue-faced, fanged creature, but she couldn't see what was happening. However, she knew that the man must have made a move.

Otherwise, why would Chen Zijin be trembling so violently?

She forcefully broke free from Chen Zijin's hand.

Let's take a gamble then.

The person in front of the bet wasn't a rebel.
