Mei had awaited tonight’s opportunity for revenge for a long time.
Before stepping into the Liu estate, Yino informed Mei that he might cause an uproar at the Liu estate in half an hour. At that time, Yino hoped that Mei, hiding in the shadows of the Liu estate, could take advantage of the chaos to take away Ruoning.
At that time, Yino had harshly trained Mei for a month. Even if her brain resisted, her body would still obey his commands. So Mei could only pretend to act obedient and agreeable in front of Yino.
Later, Mei waited alone, hanging on the willow tree outside the courtyard for a long time.
Finally, a thunderous roar accompanied by earth-shaking tremors awakened Mei from her long and boring weaving game.
She hurriedly put away the flower-willow doll in her hands, then took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the front courtyard of the Liu estate, extending plum blossom branches to snatch Ruoning from behind the crowd.
During this process, everyone from both the Liu estate and the Lin estate focused their attention on Yino, who had just struck Lin Ze with lethal intent. Combined with Jinyue’s illusion domain, no one would notice Mei’s presence in the corner!
Mei had to admit that Yino’s plan worked flawlessly.
Yino proved himself an evil genius that Mei admired. He calculated everyone’s thoughts and reactions into his plan, even including the elders of the Liu and Lin mansion. Looking at it this way, when Mei lost to him in the Demon Abyss, it didn’t seem unfair at all.
But Mei differed from Liuli and Jinyue, those lowly females who easily submitted and wagged their tails to flatter and please Yino!
This past month, Mei had only superficially submitted to Yino. Those expressions of enjoyment and flattery were all just acting, aimed at deceiving Yino and making him lower his guard.
Now, with Yino taking risks and unable to monitor the battlefield, Mei found the perfect opportunity to make her move in secret!
So, at the same time as rescuing Ruoning, Mei deliberately left an extremely obvious footprint on the front courtyard grass of the Liu estate.
Mei knew that these wealthy families always stationed shadow guards to monitor from the shadows.
When Jinyue’s illusion ended and Yino no longer drew focus, those shadow guards hiding in the dark would naturally discover this footprint first.
Therefore. To wait for the shadow guards to come and hunt her down, Mei chose not to go to the designated location as Yino planned for several minutes after rescuing Ruoning. Instead, she picked a tree not far from the Liu estate to chat with Ruoning.
Sure enough, the shadow guards of the immortal sect families worked with high efficiency. In less than 5 minutes, they had already followed the footprints that Mei had deliberately left.
Seven Nascent Soul stage shadow guards arrived.
After all, this served as the Liu estate’s home base, so this configuration wasn’t low, but for Mei, an evil cult holy maiden who had fought for her life in the Western Region for years, it fell far short of whetting her appetite.
So Mei chose not to kill them too quickly.
She gave them sufficient time to fight, and she even deliberately created weaknesses, trying to get these seven shadow guards to cheer up and have a good fight with her.
This way… Mei met her match and became excited from battle, she could break free from the seal that Liuli and Yino had placed on her through the accumulation of killing intent.
Commonly known as: becoming bloodthirsty.
Mei waited for such an opportunity.
Back at the edge of the Western Region’s Abyss, Mei and Yuyan had fought until the sky darkened and the earth dimmed. That moment marked when Mei’s consciousness reached peak excitement, her body felt no pain, she threw herself wholeheartedly into battle, even willing to harm herself to overclock and defeat her opponent…
As long as she could enter the Red Plum form, Mei would definitely break free from Yino’s control.
But… Seven shadow guards proved still too weak.
Mei had only become slightly excited when these seven shadow guards had already lost six members.
The last shadow guard fled in panic. Mei felt too lazy to chase him, so she deliberately planted a plum seed on him, planning to give the Liu estate a surprise.
After all… Tonight’s criminal was Yino.
No matter how much Mei angered the Liu estate, the blame would ultimately fall on Yino.
“Not enough…”
“Still not enough…”
“Why… do humans wither so easily? They’re even more fragile than a plum blossom…”
“Why… couldn’t these shadow guards match Yuyan’s resilience, and play with me a little longer!”
“Ruoning! It seems that you amount to nothing special. I left such obvious footprints, yet your Liu estate didn’t have a single elder notice, only sending seven shadow guards to chase along the way?!”
With her killing desire just ignited and the battle abruptly ending, Mei immediately felt the same frustration and humiliation as when Yino had pressed her on the bed and cruelly edged her.
She reached back with plum blossom branches to grab Ruoning’s neck, trying to vent her anger on this foolish girl who had just dared to compete with her for Yino’s attention. But the evil curse marks from her lower abdomen and between her eyebrows glowed purple, firmly restraining Mei’s thoughts and actions.
Ruoning remained a woman Yino had ordered protected. Mei couldn’t harm her at all.
She had no choice.
Mei could only accept tonight’s plan as a failure.
She obediently lowered Ruoning from the air and planned to restrain her killing intent and head to the meeting point she had agreed upon with Yino.
But just then, another thunderous roar echoed from the nearby forest.
Mei looked toward the sound, but the Liu family’s daughter who had just been lowered spoke first.
“It’s Yino! Yino is still being hunted by that guy Ming!”
“Ming…?”
