Chapter 404

worthy of being the eldest young master of the Miss Jiutiao family.

"Swish!"

Miss Jiutiao Luzai disappeared again.

This time,

it was a position that hadn't been exposed in front of Miss Jiutiao Meise.

He was full of confidence,

not knowing

that Miss Jiutiao Meise didn't know,

but Miss Jiutiao Strip Lixin had seen it.

The Dragon Nation's professionals hadn't had time to come over yet,

but countless Dragon-Blood Magic Insects had already surrounded this teleportation node.

"Damn it!"

"I want to kill you! Kill you with my own hands!"

Miss Jiutiao Luzai tried all the last few space nodes.

Without any surprise,

sufficient food made the number of Dragon-Blood Magic Insects increase day by day,

almost covering the entire forest.

In any position, there was their presence.

Once a certain position was determined,

dozens of Dragon-Blood Magic Insects could arrive instantly.

A touch of despair welled up in his heart.

Miss Jiutiao Luzai had a cold face,

and stepped directly into the vortex.

Miss Jiutiao Meise!

Even if I die!

I will drag you down with me!

"Squelch!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through a body rang out.

With Lu Zai's strength,

if he were to fight to the death regardless of the cost,

even three Dragon-Blooded Demon Insects would absolutely not be able to stop him from killing Xue Xue Jiuling!

However,

just as Lu Zai emerged from the vortex teleportation,

a sharp pain erupted in his chest.

He stared blankly at the cold-faced young girl before him.

"You..."

【- (Weakness Attack/Critical Attack!)】

Xue Xue Jiuling pulled out the dagger,

frowned, and with an expression of extreme disgust, shook the blood off it.

Seeming to have thought of something,

"Squelch!"

The dagger was plunged into Lu Zai's heart once more.

What if

he also had an item like Life-Essence Fluid?

【- (Weakness Attack)】

In a location like the heart,

even for a professional with millions or tens of millions of HP,

as long as there is no special skill protection,

a critical hit will be dealt.

Xue Xue Jiuling stabbed him several more times with a blank expression.

Looking at the bewildered Lu Zai, she said indifferently:

"After all, having been your sister for over a decade,"

"if you were ever pushed to a dead end,"

"you would certainly return to drag others down to the grave with you."

"This dagger has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Blood spilled from Lu Zai's mouth as if it were worthless.

"You... you... I am your brother, after all..."

This was Lu Zai's final sentence.

His hands hung down powerlessly.

He had completely ceased to breathe.

Xue Xue Jiuling looked at his corpse with disdain.

"As expected of you."

"Even before dying, you had to say one last thing, trying to awaken my worthless conscience?"

"Wanting me to feel regret because of it?"

"Thwack!"

Xue Xue Jiuling stomped her foot onto Lu Zai's head.

You underestimate me!

For someone like Lu Zai, it wouldn't be strange for him to have any kind of ability.

Xue Xue Jiuling was preparing to crush his head

to prevent any possibility of resurrection.

Cui Cui Sitana ran over from the side.

"Miss Xue Jiuling, leave the rest to me."

Xue Xue Jiuling glanced at this white-skinned girl.

She knew this was a military pledge.

The other party wanted her to rest easy.

"Fine."

"Squelch!"

The head shattered, bursting into a mist of blood.

Cui Cui Sitana glared viciously at Lu Zai's corpse.

It wasn't just a military pledge!

It was also revenge!

Damned devil!

Die!

The rain cleared, and the world seemed to have been washed anew.

The dark clouds parted their curtain.

The sunlight spilled down impatiently.

A rainbow appeared.

It was a beautiful sight,

forming a sharp contrast with the countless insect limbs and flesh below.

The Devourer, like a high mountain,

licked the scraps of meat off its claws beneath the rainbow.

Deep underground,

"Just this little bit?"

"Even if it's an Insect Mother without combat power, it's still a True Name-level monster!"

Li Yao felt somewhat depressed.

The treasure chest dropped by killing the Insect Mother was actually just a Dark Gold-tier piece of equipment?

"Forget it, at least it's a piece of Cloud-Top series equipment."

"Critical Strike Gauntlets? I can keep those."

Li Yao put the Dark Gold-tier equipment into his storage ring

and had the Lishan Demon Insect come over to transport the Insect Mother's corpse to Bai Bai.

In this way,

Bai Bai should be able to evolve into its complete form, right?

Muttering to himself,

Li Yao leaped a few times

and left the underground.

He boarded the dragon and

flew toward the stronghold.

Along the way,

he picked up Xue Xue Jiuling and the other Dragon Kingdom professionals scattered across the area.

He could feel that

the dragon was extremely displeased,

letting out a loud snort from time to time

to complain to Li Yao about its dissatisfaction.

It wasn't until the wealthy Xue Xue Jiuling tossed it an item—

a Lightning Element spirit object that was clearly at least A-tier—

that the dragon finally quieted down.

"By the way, having left the Xue family, you must be very poor now, right?" Li Yao asked.

"Uh..."

Xue Xue Jiuling was startled.

"Li Yao, can I have it return the Lightning Spirit Grass to me?"

"I don't think so."

At this moment,

Hunting Hunting Xixia and Zhang Zhang Liyu also boarded the dragon.

Both of them nodded toward Xue Xue Jiuling,

which counted as a greeting.

In the India region,

the three of them had gone together to rescue Li Yao.

Although they hadn't been of much help,

it still counted as a life-and-death friendship.

The dragon flew very fast.

Ten minutes later,

all the Dragon Kingdom professionals were carried on its back

as they returned to the stronghold together.

"Miss Xue Jiuling, long time no see."

"Hey, following us in the Martial Academy was one thing, but why are you still following us during the Border Trial?"

Qin Qin Xuejun looked at Xue Xue Jiuling with disdain.

Among these people, she and Xue Xue Jiuling were supposed to have the best relationship.

The two had argued for days over Dormitory No. 2.

First come, first served—

Xue Xue Jiuling had moved in first,

and in the end, Qin Qin Xuejun had compromised.

The two moved into Dormitory No. 2 together, effectively becoming roommates.

Facing Qin Qin Xuejun's provocation, Xue Xue Jiuling was long since accustomed to it.

She said indifferently: "You live in Dormitory No. 2, so you have to pay me rent from now on."

"Hmph, I'll pay it! Who cares about that little bit of money!" Mentioning Dormitory No. 2 made Qin Qin Xuejun furious.

When one is under someone else's roof, how can one not bow their head?

(Note: The story continues on the next page.)

It was just as well; by paying the rent, she wouldn't have to take this woman's attitude anymore.

"That's good," Xue Xue Jiuling nodded thoughtfully. "I bought Dormitory No. 2 for 400 million Dragon Coins."

"How about... 10 million Dragon Coins a month?"

"10 million!?"

Qin Qin Xuejun exclaimed: "Why don't you just go rob someone?"

The others also twitched their lips.

Isn't this price gouging?

"Rob?"

Xue Xue Jiuling pondered.

"Is robbing as profitable as this?"

"Uh, let me interrupt," Misala said softly. "Robbing is against the law in the Dragon Kingdom. Please think twice, Miss Xue Jiuling!"

Xue Xue Jiuling certainly knew that, but she was just trying to irritate Qin Qin Xuejun.

Li Yao did not interject.

It was clear

that after killing Lu Zai with her own hands,

this woman had completely moved on.

"I want to ask one thing."

At this moment, Ji Nie Yuan suddenly spoke up.

"Is this Sakura Kingdom woman going to live in the Dragon Kingdom permanently?"

"Li Yao, it's not that I don't trust your judgment,"

"but those who are not of our race must have a different heart."

"I hope you consider this clearly."

Li Yao was just about to speak,

but Xue Xue Jiuling took the initiative to say:

"As a person of the Sakura Kingdom, I cannot say 'the crimes committed by my ancestors don't need to be borne by the descendants'."

"As a descendant, what I should do is 'atone'."

"By settling in the Dragon Kingdom, I will do my best to make up for the crimes committed by my predecessors."

"Is that so?" Ji Nie Yuan stared at her with disbelief.

Xue Xue Jiuling did not retreat in the slightest, meeting his gaze honestly.
