From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

The red light in her palm grew increasingly dazzling, and Bi Yao felt the energy within her body surging and surging, like a volcano about to erupt.

This sudden change terrified her, and she instinctively clenched her fists, trying to suppress the uncontrollable force.

Jiang Ruiyuan noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Yao'er, what's wrong? Are you... about to transform?"

Bi Yao said with a wry smile, "I hope it doesn't turn into something strange..." The two dared not stay in this place for long. This strange red light was too conspicuous. If it attracted some powerful magical beast or other trouble, then they would really be doomed.

They cautiously looked around. The dense forest blocked out the sun, and the intertwined vines resembled giant spider webs, concealing unknown dangers.

"We need to find a safe place," Bi Yao said in a low voice, cautiously observing her surroundings.

Jiang Ruiyuan nodded, and without saying a word, he took her hand and said firmly, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere." He held her hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm calmed Bi Yao's flustered heart a little.

In this world full of crises, Jiang Ruiyuan is her only support and her greatest source of security.

They fought their way through thorns and brambles, through dense jungle, until they arrived at a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is hidden by vines, making it difficult to spot and an excellent hiding place.

Bi Yao sat cross-legged, trying to control the restless energy within her body, while Jiang Ruiyuan stood guard at the cave entrance, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.

However, at that moment, a powerful aura came from afar, and the air seemed to freeze, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black descended from the sky, completely surrounding the cave.

Each of them possessed a powerful aura and cold eyes, like messengers from hell.

"Oh no, they're after you!" Jiang Ruiyuan's face darkened. He shielded Bi Yao behind him, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

Bi Yao's heart leaped into her throat. She gripped Jiang Ruiyuan's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

Can he protect her?

Can they escape?

The leader of the men in black let out a sinister laugh, "If you come with us obediently, you might suffer less."

Jiang Ruiyuan said with a sneer, "If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first!"

The atmosphere was extremely tense; a major battle was imminent...

The men in black launched a relentless attack, their blades flashing like the Grim Reaper's scythe, forcing Jiang Ruiyuan to retreat step by step.

Sweat beaded on his forehead like broken beads, rolling down his cheeks. He was breathing heavily, and his hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly, clearly at his limit.

Bi Yao hid behind him, watching his swaying figure, her heart filled with anxiety.

She wanted to help, but Jiang Ruiyuan held her tightly. He shouted at her with all his might, "Yaomei, don't come any closer! You're in danger!" Her eyes reddened with anxiety, but she could only clutch her clothes tightly. This feeling of helplessness was suffocating.

Just when Jiang Ruiyuan was about to give up, Bi Yao suddenly felt the restless energy within her surge again. This time, she vaguely felt that she could control it!

An unprecedentedly powerful force awakened within her. She subconsciously raised her hands, and her palms instantly emitted a dazzling red light, like the sun, illuminating the entire cave.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!" the man in black exclaimed in surprise.

A powerful energy wave emanated from Bi Yao and spread outwards like a tsunami, instantly sending the men in black flying.

Like kites with broken strings, they staggered about, looking utterly pathetic, crashing into the stone walls with muffled thuds. Where was their earlier arrogance now?

"Yao Mei'er! You...you actually!" Jiang Ruiyuan stood frozen in place, staring at Bi Yao, who was radiating a dazzling light before him. This power...

That's ridiculously strong!

"Now it's my turn to protect you." Bi Yao's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes sparkled with confidence.

Suddenly, she felt Jiang Ruiyuan grab her hand and pull her to a corner.

The moment the two embraced, she heard Jiang Ruiyuan's deep voice in her ear.

"Yao Mei'er, we..."

The red light faded, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

Bi Yao leaned against Jiang Ruiyuan's chest, her cheeks flushed like a ripe apple, too shy to look up.

My heart was pounding like a drum, thumping and thumping, as if it were about to burst out of my throat.

"This...this isn't quite right..." she murmured softly, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Ruiyuan gazed tenderly at the girl in his arms, his eyes filled with doting affection, as if everything else in the world paled in comparison, and she was the only bright star.

"Sister Yao, don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a reassuring power.

He gently stroked her hair, feeling the softness under his fingertips, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

At this critical moment of life and death, an ambiguous feeling quietly blossomed between the two, intertwining and connecting them like vines.

However, the brief moment of tenderness was quickly shattered.

The men in black readjusted their formation and launched another fierce attack on them, each move ruthless and merciless.

The air was thick with a chilling, oppressive atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.

"Yao, be careful!" Jiang Ruiyuan roared, shielding Bi Yao behind him. The dagger in his hand turned into a silver light, clashing with the black-clad man's sword and blade, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Bi Yao took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart, and mobilized the surging energy within her body.

She stretched out her hands, her palms flashing red light, like a huge energy vortex, absorbing the attacks from the man in black.

Those originally menacing attacks vanished without a trace the moment they touched the red light, instead transforming into Bi Yao's power, making her even stronger.

The two worked in perfect harmony, their movements fluid and seamless, weaving through the flashing blades and clashing swords, their figures intertwined, each attack precise and deadly.

The men in black kept falling, groaning in pain.

Just as the men in black were about to be wiped out, suddenly, a tall figure descended from the sky, bringing with him a powerful dark force that enveloped Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

He was dressed in a black cloak, obscuring his face, but his scarlet eyes, like those of a demon from hell, sent chills down one's spine.

"You've had your fun." The leader of the men in black spoke in a low, hoarse voice, like a death knell from hell, tolling the prelude to death.
