From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

"Wait..." The hoarse voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of mockery, "I didn't expect you two could actually make it this far." Before the words were finished, the ground in the center of the room suddenly cracked open. Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan reacted quickly, each leaping backward to avoid falling into the abyss.

"Wow, is this a huge move?" Bi Yao muttered, brushing the dust off her clothes.

This trap was even more thrilling than she had imagined!

Jiang Ruiyuan looked serious, scanning his surroundings, trying to find a flaw.

"Be careful, this place is full of traps."

The two cautiously stepped into the trap area. Under their feet were intricate pressure plates, sharp blades hung overhead, and the surrounding walls were covered with hidden arrows and poison needles. A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

They can only proceed step by step, slowly exploring and moving forward.

With her keen observation skills and exceptional abilities, Bi Yao skillfully avoided several deadly traps.

Jiang Ruiyuan stood silently behind her, ready to deal with any emergencies.

"This mechanism is quite ingeniously designed," Bi Yao said casually while observing the surrounding environment. "I just wonder who the mastermind is. With such talent, it's a pity they're not designing games."

Suddenly, Bi Yao's foot slipped, and she accidentally stepped on a hidden pressure plate.

"Oh no!" Before she could react, a huge rock rolled down from the ceiling and came crashing down on them.

"Yao Yao!" Jiang Ruiyuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and without thinking, he pushed Bi Yao away.

"Boom—" The boulder landed with a deafening roar.

Bi Yao was pushed aside unharmed, while Jiang Ruiyuan's arm was grazed by the boulder, and blood instantly stained his sleeve.

"Ruiyuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed and rushed to Jiang Ruiyuan's side to check his injuries.

Jiang Ruiyuan forced a smile despite the pain, "I'm fine, just a minor injury..."

"A minor injury?!" Bi Yao's eyes reddened, her voice trembling slightly. "It's bleeding and you call it a minor injury! You..." She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with icy coldness. "Who is it?! Get out here!"

A powerful aura erupted from Bi Yao, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Heh..." A chilling laugh echoed from the darkness. "I never expected you to possess such power..." A figure slowly emerged from the shadows...

"It seems I underestimated you..."

Emerging from the shadows was a tall man with a sinister face.

He toyed with a black crystal in his hand, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"Bi Yao, it's been a long time."

Bi Yao squinted and recognized the person who had come.

"It's you! Zhao Kun!" This Zhao Kun was one of the villains who targeted her in the original book, and also one of the culprits who caused the original owner's tragic end.

New and old grudges surged into her heart, and Bi Yao's eyes turned cold, revealing a murderous intent.

"Oh, you still remember me? What an honor," Zhao Kun said sarcastically. "However, you're probably going to be done for here today."

"You think too highly of yourself?" Bi Yao sneered. "You're really overestimating yourself." Seeing Jiang Ruiyuan injured, Bi Yao was furious.

She forced herself to calm down, her mind racing as she began to analyze the surrounding mechanisms.

Her keen observation skills led her to notice some minor scratches on the wall and almost imperceptible dents on the floor.

"Heh, still stubborn even when death is imminent." Zhao Kun curled his lip in disdain, and a flash of light appeared in the crystal in his hand, as more hidden arrows shot in from all directions.

"A mere trick!" Bi Yao grabbed Jiang Ruiyuan and moved like a ghost through the rain of arrows.

While dodging the attacks, she quickly deduced the location of the control hub of the mechanism based on the clues she had observed earlier.

“There!” Bi Yao’s eyes lit up as she pointed to an inconspicuous protrusion on the wall.

She leaped forward and struck the protrusion with a palm.

With a "click," the surrounding mechanisms stopped operating, the blades overhead also stopped, and the oppressive feeling in the air instantly disappeared.

"How is this possible?!" Zhao Kun stared at everything in disbelief. "You... how could you..."

Ignoring Zhao Kun's shock, Bi Yao quickly returned to Jiang Ruiyuan's side and tenderly bandaged his wounds.

"Does it hurt?" Bi Yao's voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

Jiang Ruiyuan shook his head, gazing affectionately at Bi Yao.

"It doesn't hurt. I'm just glad to see you're okay."

Their eyes met, and feelings welled up between them.

Unable to suppress his desire any longer, Jiang Ruiyuan pulled Bi Yao to his side and kissed her deeply.

Bi Yao responded passionately to his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Jiang Ruiyuan's hands began to roam over her body, teasing every nerve in her body.

The surrounding air gradually warmed up, filling the air with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Yao Yao..." Jiang Ruiyuan whispered in her ear, his voice husky and sexy.

Bi Yao closed her eyes, lost in his tenderness.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from deep within the trap… “Thump…thump…thump…”

“Thump…thump…thump…” The sound was deep and powerful, like the heartbeat of some giant beast, or like a summons from hell.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan snapped out of their idyllic mood, exchanged a glance, and both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

"It seems the real show has only just begun." Bi Yao's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

After straightening her slightly disheveled clothes, she pulled out a dagger hidden in her boot and scanned her surroundings with sharp eyes.

Jiang Ruiyuan also toned down his gentleness and regained his usual calm and wisdom.

He gripped Bi Yao's hand tightly and gave her a resolute look.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As soon as they finished speaking, a group of men in black emerged from the shadows like ghosts and surrounded them.

These men in black were all agile and had cold eyes; they were clearly well-trained assassins.

"Tsk tsk, quite a grand display." Bi Yao raised an eyebrow, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Come on, let this grandma see what you're capable of!"

The battle is about to break out.

The men in black brandished their weapons and surged towards Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan like a tidal wave.

Bi Yao was agile, moving freely among the men in black. The dagger in her hand was like the forked tongue of a venomous snake, each strike precise and deadly.

Jiang Ruiyuan, on the other hand, stood firmly beside Bi Yao like an insurmountable mountain.

His punches and kicks were fierce and ruthless, each strike carrying the force of thunder, sending the approaching men in black flying.

As the battle intensified, Bi Yao discovered that the attacks of these men in black were mixed with a strange energy.

This energy felt both familiar and strange to her, as if it had some connection to her own power.

A bold idea flashed through Bi Yao's mind.

Instead of simply dodging, she actively confronted the attacks of the men in black, absorbing the strange energy into her body.

As she absorbed more and more energy, Bi Yao felt her strength increasing, her speed becoming faster, and her reactions becoming more acute.

She was like a human weapon, rampaging through the men in black, unstoppable.

The men in black around them looked at Bi Yao, who resembled a god of war, with shock and fear in their eyes.

They had never seen such a powerful opponent, who seemed to possess inexhaustible power.

Just as Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan were about to finish off all the men in black, a chilling voice came from the darkness: "Interesting, very interesting..."

A figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood slowly emerged from the shadows.

He exuded a powerful sense of oppression that sent chills down people's spines.

"You guys are quite good, managing to hold out until now." The hooded man's tone was cold, with a hint of mockery. "However, the game ends here."

He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful energy wave emanated from his body, causing the surrounding air to distort and deform.

"Who are you?" Jiang Ruiyuan stood in front of Bi Yao, his eyes fixed warily on the hooded man.

The hooded man chuckled softly and slowly removed his hood, revealing a handsome yet sinister face.

"Long time no see, Jiang Ruiyuan." A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Or should I call you... the Chosen One?"

Jiang Ruiyuan's expression changed drastically...
