Chapter 86 - 62: Could It Be... The Night He Went Berserk

[Yes, Host. As long as she admits her mistake, the onlookers will surely scorn her. The heroine’s fortune is only strong when she is admired by others. Conversely, every time her reputation is damaged, a portion of her fortune will be lost.]

’Good, I understand. I’ll force her to apologize.’

Jiang Yunnuan was the heroine, favored by the Heavenly Dao. She couldn’t be killed directly, or the Heavenly Dao would discover and erase her, this BUG.

She could only slowly drain Jiang Yunnuan’s fortune. Once she’d taken it all, she could deceive the Heavenly Dao and become the new heroine.

Si Xie froze, instantly reading all of Jiang Wanwan’s thoughts.

’So, this woman is making Jiang Yunnuan apologize to snatch away her fortune.’

He hurriedly spoke up to stop her.

"Don’t you dare, Jiang Yunnuan! You are not to apologize! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. That woman can forget about insulting us."

"Sister slandered Ah Ze, so she should apologize. How is that an insult?"

Jiang Wanwan’s expression turned ugly, and she inwardly hated him to death.

’This damned fox! How dare he ruin my plans! Sooner or later, I’ll skin him and make a scarf out of his hide.’

Hearing such malicious thoughts, Si Xie’s eyelid twitched. A chill went down his spine, and the hair on his body stood on end.

’Damn it, this wretched woman is completely out of control!’

’Shamelessly snatching someone else’s fortune, and now she wants to slaughter the innocent.’

’Hmph, but I should probably thank her. If it weren’t for her, I never would have met Nuannuan.’

"You say it’s slander, so it’s slander? What evidence do you have to prove my Nuannuan slandered Ling Ze? You’re going to convict her of slander based on your word alone? If everyone were like you, what would be the point of the Alliance’s court? We might as well just get rid of it, since you can convict people with a single sentence."

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Uh...’

’Actually, I did slander Ling Ze.’

’But Ling Ze had it coming. He was the one who, just to humiliate Si Xie, deliberately stomped all over the original owner and ruined the favorability I’d worked so hard to build.’

’Besides, he’s done plenty of disgusting things in the past. He even shamelessly coveted Jun Yao’s inner core. There’s no way I’m apologizing to him.’

"Si Xie is right, I’m not going to apologize. And don’t even think about having those Contractors of yours attack us. Here, let me show you something interesting."

Jiang Yunnuan smiled as she opened her Light Brain’s projection.

A light screen appeared in the air. On it was the scene of the tense standoff between the two sides, as well as the fight between Ling Ze and Jun Yao.

"Jiang Wanwan, I recorded everything. And I’ve already sent it to someone else. If we so much as lose a single hair on our heads today, this incident will be reported to the Alliance’s court. You... you can just wait for the court’s trial."

Jiang Wanwan: "..."

’This damn bitch, when did she record this video?’

’I didn’t notice a thing.’

Though she was inwardly hating Jiang Yunnuan to death, her eyes dark and twisted, the smile on her face didn’t fade. She maintained her gentle and soft appearance.

’Tsk, this venomous bitch really knows how to put on an act!’

Si Xie was deeply impressed by her acting skills.

Suddenly, a silver and black figure hurtled toward Jiang Wanwan. Her eyelid twitched, and before she could react, Shen Yi, who was beside her, grabbed her by the waist and pulled her aside.

BANG...

The figure crashed heavily into the spot where Jiang Wanwan had just been standing, kicking up a cloud of dust.

PTHOO...

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, staining the ground red.

Jiang Yunnuan took a closer look and, upon seeing it was Ling Ze, her tense nerves immediately relaxed.

’Thank goodness, thank goodness. It’s Ling Ze, not Jun Yao.’

’Jun Yao actually beat this guy up so badly. He’s so amazing! I wonder if he’s hurt... ’

The thought had barely formed when a figure slowly descended in front of her. Jiang Yunnuan immediately rushed over, circling him and looking him over from all sides.

Aside from his slightly disordered aura, he only had a minor injury at the corner of his mouth, but she still wasn’t reassured.

"Are you hurt?"

"Just a minor injury. It’s nothing."

Only then did Jiang Yunnuan relax. She grabbed his wrist, secretly channeling her Healing Ability while simultaneously praising him profusely, showering him with emotional support.

"Wow, Jun Yao, you’re amazing! You’re in the same Realm, and he even broke through earlier than you, yet you completely dominated him! Incredible, just incredible! You’re so powerful!"

"You’re so powerful, it makes me feel honored. I’m so, so proud of you..."

Her eyes sparkled, her voice full of surprise and sincerity. Jun Yao was pleased. All his fatigue washed away as the corners of his lips curved up into a faint smile, his mood becoming indescribably good.

Seeing the smile at the corner of his lips, a hint of a triumphant, scheming smile appeared in Jiang Yunnuan’s own eyes.

’I mean, who doesn’t like being praised?’

’Jun Yao put in so much effort. I have to praise him with everything I’ve got, really lay it on thick. The emotional validation has to be perfect. I can’t let the one who did all the heavy lifting feel unappreciated after all his hard work.’
