From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Bi Yao gripped the letter tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, just like her resolute heart at that moment.

The letter paper felt rough to the touch, yet it seemed to carry some unknown force, drawing her in.

The cheers around them gradually subsided, replaced by whispers.

Curious eyes, like countless searchlights, converged on the mysterious letter in her hand.

"Goddess Yao Yao, what is this?" "Is there another new challenge?" The discussions rose and fell, like a group of curious cats, eager to know the secret.

Jiang Ruiyuan stood calmly beside Bi Yao, his tall figure like a solid mountain, silently expressing his support.

His sharp gaze swept around, as if to say, "Anyone who dares to touch her will have to get past me first!"

The address on the letter pointed to a remote place that was never marked on a map.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan set off directly towards their destination.

However, when they arrived, they were stopped by a group of fierce-looking local forces.

"This road is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!" A bald, burly man with a beer belly brandished an iron rod, extremely arrogant.

Bi Yao frowned. She hated these local bullies the most; they were practically living embodiments of "I'm weak, therefore I'm right!"

She clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.

"What era are we living in? Still using this kind of trick? Don't you have anything new? Please, you guys should join in too!"

"Hey, little girl, you've got a temper!" The bald, burly man chuckled, and his henchmen joined in the jeering. Their ear-piercing laughter was enough to shatter eardrums.

Jiang Ruiyuan remained calm. He stepped forward, blocking Bi Yao's path, and said indifferently, "We're just passing by and have no intention of causing you trouble. If you insist on stopping us, then we'll have no choice but to oblige." His voice was as calm as still water, yet it carried an undeniable force, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere tense.

"This is going to be interesting!" "These guys don't look like trouble!" "Get out of the way, don't block my view!" The surrounding crowd instantly swarmed around them, like onlookers watching a show, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Just as tensions were running high and the atmosphere was about to explode, the bald, burly man curled up a sinister smile and waved his hand, saying, "Brothers, get them! Take them back and give them a good 'welcome'!" The next second, the surrounding buildings began to distort and deform, as if the space was being swallowed up by some mysterious force, instantly pulling them into a closed, secret room.

"What's going on?" Bi Yao felt a sense of unease. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Ruiyuan's hand, only to find that it was pitch black all around, and only the two of them were still tightly embracing each other.

Darkness, like thick ink, completely swallowed them.

The oppressive feeling was like an invisible net, tightly binding Bi Yao and making it hard for her to breathe.

The air was filled with a damp, musty smell, mixed with a faint stench of blood, which was nauseating.

It was pitch black; only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly in the silent space.

"This place is truly hellish!" Bi Yao couldn't help but complain, trying to break the suffocating atmosphere.

Jiang Ruiyuan gently squeezed her hand; the warm touch was like a warm current, instantly dispelling the unease in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was deep and gentle, like a soothing lullaby, calming the anxiety in her heart.

"Mmm." Bi Yao responded, and tightly grasped his hand in return. The warmth between them calmed their hearts.

They stood back to back, feeling each other's warmth, like two saplings huddled together in the cold wind, supporting and warming each other.

"Something's not right!" A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Bi Yao's eyes, like a cheetah spotting its prey.

She closed her eyes, carefully sensing the flow of air around her, trying to find some clues.

She discovered that this seemingly airtight space was not perfect; the airflow in the due east direction was noticeably abnormal, suggesting a weak point.

"I think I've found a breakthrough," Bi Yao said excitedly, her voice tinged with a hint of thrill.

She opened her eyes.

"Really?" Jiang Ruiyuan

Bi Yao nodded, pointed ahead, and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Let's try that direction!"

Just as Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan were advancing towards the weak point, in the control room, the bald, burly man and his henchmen were watching the monitor screen with smug expressions.

"Haha, let's see how long they can keep jumping around! This is my latest spatial cage research. Unless you're a superpowered king, no one can escape!" the bald, burly man said smugly, as if he could already see them kneeling and begging for mercy.

However, the next second, their smiles froze on their faces.

On the monitor screen, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan, like two sharp arrows, instantly broke through the weak point of the cage and rushed out.

"This...how is this possible?" The bald, burly man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth was agape, big enough to fit an egg.

Bi Yao turned back to face the bald, burly man, revealing a meaningful smile. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes held a hint of provocation.

"The fun has just begun..."

The moment she broke free of the cage, Bi Yao felt a bright light before her eyes, followed by a biting gust of wind.

"Holy crap, are they serious?" She instinctively grabbed Jiang Ruiyuan, dodging a sharp claw strike with a sidestep.

A man with the agility of a cheetah, exuding a fierce aura, pounced out of the shadows.

His eyes were bloodshot, and sharp claws extended from his fingertips, slicing through the air with a piercing sound, each strike carrying the murderous intent to tear them apart.

This person is definitely a master among masters, at least a mid-level superhuman, far superior to those local bullies.

"Holy crap, that's incredibly fast!" Bi Yao couldn't help but swear, her heart pounding in her throat.

Jiang Ruiyuan, on the other hand, looked serious. He used both hands and feet, his movements as agile as an eel, dodging left and right under the enemy's attacks, while also protecting Bi Yao.

The two worked in perfect harmony, engaging in a thrilling chase with the enemy in a confined space. Every dodge felt like dancing on a knife's edge, and the slightest mistake could mean certain death.

The onlookers were stunned, their mouths agape, as if they could fit two eggs inside.

They stared wide-eyed, barely daring to breathe, afraid of missing a single detail.

"My God, this is so exciting! Will they be able to escape?" "That person looks so scary, will they be in danger?" The onlookers were on tenterhooks, and worried discussions rose and fell.

Just when Bi Yao thought she was about to face a tough battle, Jiang Ruiyuan suddenly grabbed her and sped towards a pile of discarded steel bars.

"Now!" he roared, and with a wave of his hands, the surrounding steel bars were immediately controlled by an invisible force, lashing out like steel whips at the pursuing expert.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of steel bars hitting the ground was deafening, instantly forcing the pursuers back. Many people were tripped by the steel bars and fell flat on their faces, looking extremely disheveled.

"Ah! Damn it!" the pursuers roared in frustration.

The reversal happened so fast. Just moments ago they were arrogant and domineering, but now they were like drowning dogs, completely panicked.

Bi Yao watched as Jiang Ruiyuan skillfully controlled everything around him, and thought to herself, "A master is a master, truly amazing!" She couldn't help but give him a big thumbs up in her heart.

However, before they could even celebrate, a massive barrier suddenly appeared before them.

This barrier was like an invisible wall, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression. Mysterious runes flowed across it, seemingly containing a powerful restriction.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan stood in front of the barrier, their expressions solemn.
