From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

"Ha, this hideout is more secure than an iron barrel!" Bi Yao couldn't help but complain as she looked at the towering wall in front of her, which was covered with surveillance cameras and infrared detectors.

This isn't a hideout, it's a futuristic fortress straight out of a sci-fi movie!

Jiang Ruiyuan's expression was solemn as he swiped his finger across the tablet, bringing up a diagram of the building's internal structure.

“It seems we need to find another way.” He pointed to an inconspicuous vent on the screen. “This might be the only breakthrough.”

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes both filled with a resolute determination.

This is no joke; if we're not careful, we'll be discovered, and then we'll truly be trapped.

The night was as dark as ink. Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan, like two ghosts, silently approached the ventilation shaft.

Bi Yao carefully dismantled the iron grille of the ventilation vent, while Jiang Ruiyuan vigilantly observed the surroundings to make sure no patrol personnel approached.

With a soft "click," the iron fence was removed.

Bi Yao went in first, followed closely by Jiang Ruiyuan.

The ventilation ducts were narrow and dark, and the air was filled with a nauseating musty smell.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan held their breath and crawled forward slowly.

"Wait!" Bi Yao suddenly stopped; she sensed someone ahead of her.

Sure enough, the next second, several beams of flashlight shone over, exposing them to the blinding light.

"Who goes there!" A loud shout rang out, and dozens of fully armed guards surrounded them.

“Ruiyuan…” Bi Yao called softly, her tone tinged with unease.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Ruiyuan gripped Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes resolute.

The two stood back to back, ready for battle.

The enemy's gun barrels were pointed at them, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" the lead guard sneered. "Just surrender obediently!"

Just when the enemy thought victory was assured, Bi Yao suddenly revealed a strange smile and said weakly, "Big brother, we surrender..."

Bi Yao blinked her big eyes, tears welling up in them, looking utterly pitiful.

"Big brother, we surrender, please don't shoot! We just... we just got lost..." she sobbed, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking extremely weak and helpless.

The guards looked at each other in disbelief. This little girl's acting was too realistic!

The lead guard stroked his chin smugly, thinking that he might be able to make a great contribution tonight.

"Hmph, lost? Lost in our hideout? Enough talk, tie them up!"

The guards rushed forward, ready to tie Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan up tightly.

Just then, Jiang Ruiyuan calmly reached into his pocket, his fingertips touching a cold metal device.

Bi Yao caught a glimpse of Jiang Ruiyuan's movements out of the corner of her eye, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. The show is about to begin!

"Wait!" Bi Yao suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

She took a deep breath, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. "Do you really think you can catch us like this?"

Before she finished speaking, a powerful energy surge erupted from Bi Yao's body.

Her clothes moved without wind, fluttering and rustling, instantly transforming her originally gentle demeanor into one of fierce sharpness.

Before the guards could react, they were blasted away by the powerful energy, crashing heavily to the ground and groaning in pain.

Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Ruiyuan pressed the device in his hand, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire base.

"What's going on?!" the lead guard shouted in terror, only to find himself surrounded.

Bi Yao smiled dismissively, dusted herself off, walked to Jiang Ruiyuan's side, and said softly, "Done."

Jiang Ruiyuan looked at Bi Yao with admiration in his eyes.

"As expected of you, you always surprise people."

Bi Yao shrugged and winked playfully.

"Keep it low-key, it's just basic stuff." She paused, her eyes suddenly sharpening. "Let's go, the real show is just beginning."

Jiang Ruiyuan nodded, and the two walked side by side into the depths of the base, leaving behind only a mess.

“Wait,” Bi Yao suddenly stopped and glanced back at the chaotic scene, “It seems… I’ve forgotten something…”

The two ventured side-by-side into the heart of the base, their path streaked with sparks and lightning, as if they were unleashing a devastating attack, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake.

The hidden leader—a greasy middle-aged man nicknamed "Slippery Ghost"—sat upright on a high-tech throne, surrounded by several fierce-looking henchmen. Watching the two figures advancing like lawnmowers on the surveillance footage, Slippery Ghost's fat jiggled in fear: "Who are these two? How can they be so fierce?!"

"Boss, don't panic! We have a secret weapon!" A burly man with a scar on his face grinned and pressed a red button in his hand.

In an instant, police lights flashed throughout the base, and countless robots emerged from all directions, surrounding Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

"Wow, this is high-tech!" Bi Yao raised an eyebrow, energy surging in her hand. "Ruiyuan, it's up to you now!"

Jiang Ruiyuan smirked, pulled out a uniquely shaped gun, and unleashed a barrage of fire at the robot.

This is no ordinary gun; it's an electromagnetic pulse gun specifically designed for robots. One shot is enough to paralyze a robot.

"That's it? I thought it was something more impressive!" Bi Yao scoffed, her figure flashing as she moved like a ghost among the robots, each attack accompanied by a robot's scream.

Seeing this, the cunning demon turned pale, knowing that all was lost, and turned to run away.

"Trying to run? No way!" Bi Yao flashed into view, blocking the way of the slippery ghost. "Just surrender obediently!"

The slippery ghost tried to struggle, but Jiang Ruiyuan kicked him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.

"It's over." Bi Yao clapped her hands, looking relaxed.

With the hidden forces eliminated, the local people cheered and spread the news, making it even more lively than the Lunar New Year.

People from all walks of life praised Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan's righteous deeds, and various honorary titles poured in like snowflakes.

Standing in the cheering crowd, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan smiled at each other.

"Where to next?" Bi Yao asked.

Jiang Ruiyuan opened the map, his gaze falling on a remote town...

“Wait,” Bi Yao suddenly said, her expression hardening. “I think I feel something…”
