Chapter 36: A Lifetime Nightmare

  It's interesting...

  Suddenly, a woman's fearless and provocative voice was heard. Mu Rong Xiao first froze for a moment, then raised an eyebrow with interest, his gaze turned to Qi Xin Mei who had a cold face. His calm tone carried a teasing tone, "For someone you don't like, do you choose to scheme against them, kill them, or force yourself on them..."

  As soon as the words fell, Leng Xi's body trembled slightly, his heart cold and sweating profusely. He finally realized a fact: in the circle of Ling Han, men who rolled around were not easy to deal with.

  She realized that she was still being held by Murong Xiao, and Leng Xi couldn't help but feel uneasy all over. She gathered all her strength and struggled to break free from Murong Xiao's grip. Her black grape-like eyes gleamed with a fierce light as she glared at Murong Xiao, her voice filled with indignation: "Despicable! Heart Mu, let's go..." She turned around, panting, and grabbed Season Heart Mu's hand, ready to leave, but was shocked to find that Season Heart Mu's arm was stiff, his palm clenched into a fist. That seemingly slender arm had accumulated immense power, ready to burst out at any moment, yet it didn't budge under her pulling force.

  Leng Xi's chest was shocked, and he looked at Ji Xin in an unbelievable way, "Xin, you..."

  Ji Xin's face remained calm and collected, without a ripple, as if she hadn't moved at all. In reality, her vital energy had already accumulated in her body, like molten lava, ready to erupt at the slightest touch.

  What she hates most is other people's frivolous words, what she hates most is being teased by others!

  Every slight language would make her mood surge, inexplicably uncomfortable and angry. Those piercing words, as long as they slightly brushed against her ears, could stir up all her indignation, stirring the most painful, most heart-wrenching memories deep within her heart.

  That was when she was a child, weak and defenseless, adopted by her uncle. But that man was a beast in human skin! She was only nine years old, and the evil face of that man had already emerged, many times trying to assault her! She struggled desperately, but found herself so small and powerless, like a grain of sand that could be blown down by a gust of wind. The nine-year-old girl was so pale and weak.

  She could only stare at San Shu's ugly face, which was getting uglier in front of her. She could only tremble and endure the disgusting shallowness of San Shu! Those disgusting hands, every time they touched her body, made her want to vomit, making her whole body cold, with goosebumps all over.

  At that time she was still young, San Shu retained the last bit of humanity and did not take her by force! It only stayed on the light touch on her mouth and the touch on her body.

  Too many hardships, forcing her childhood to mature prematurely, Ji Xin's determination grew stronger. She wanted to protect herself and couldn't be bullied anymore. Every day, she would sneak into the nearby taekwondo gym to listen and learn in secret! Who would have thought that a child under ten years old could endure such hardships and train so diligently?

  After years of secret practice, she finally developed a strong physique and the ability to protect herself. The process was bitter, but only she understood how much.

  Even now that she can protect herself, the memories of her childhood have been deeply ingrained in her mind, becoming a permanent nightmare for Ji Xin Mei. Every day, she is tormented by nightmares, and her nerves are extremely sensitive! Resisting others' disdain for her!

  Murong Xiaozi's lightly provocative words had obviously struck a chord of deep-seated anger in her! A fierce storm of energy gathered throughout her entire body.

  Murong Xiaoze shifted his body, his deep blue eyes gradually becoming more profound as he began to seriously size up Ji Xinmei. She had a slender figure that was almost skeletal, appearing weak and fragile, but in reality, she was full of strength! Her eyes were clear and cold, with a hint of deeply hidden ferocity! This person was not to be underestimated. Murong Xiaoze's expression became serious as he gazed at her intently, meeting her gaze.

  Four eyes met, a stormy wind and rain, an invisible confrontation between them, undercurrents surged, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop rapidly.

  Leng Xi blinked, a chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but shrink back, her eyes wide open, swallowing hard.

  At this moment, Ji Xin's pupils contracted slightly, her fist shook, and her figure shot towards Murong Xiao like a sword, creating a strong gust of wind around her that lifted the black hair of Leng Xi beside her, and the black strands flew up.

  Leng Xi was stunned and stood still on the spot!

  A powerful fist flew swiftly towards Murong Xiao's chest, from which the master's overbearing and unyielding determination could be seen! Vowing to teach Murong Xiao a lesson!

  Standing still, Murong Xiao's deep blue pupils didn't change in the slightest, calmly facing the incoming punch, a faint, almost imperceptible thrill rising to his lips. He liked strong opponents; the stronger they were, the more exhilarating it was when he conquered them!

  Fists flew over, a strong gust of wind hit his face, Ji Xin's fists were relentless and full of vigor, striking Mu Rong Xiao's thick chest with a dull thud.

  A heavy fist struck Mu Rong Xiao Zuo's body without any hindrance, the force of the punch bursting forth, and all the pent-up energy in Ji Xin Mei's heart was released in that instant. She couldn't believe it as she raised her eyes to see Mu Rong Xiao Zuo standing steadily like Mount Tai, his face unchanged, as if this punch had not hurt him at all!

  Why didn't he dodge and instead took a solid punch from her!

  What made Jing Xixin puzzled was Murong Xiaozi's performance. He could have countered, with his skills, he should have been able to dodge her punch, but he chose to endure it instead. What did he mean by that?!

  Just as Ji Xin Meng was puzzled, Murong Xiao Zuo hooked his lips, and with a sudden burst of strength, Ji Xin Meng's fist was shaken off her body. His power was immense, causing Ji Xin Meng to take several steps back, she dug her feet into the ground before stabilizing herself.

  "This punch is enough to counter your earlier insult! I like a fair fight where neither of us owes the other anything!" Murong Shu's deep blue eyes dimmed slightly, his left foot shifted back lightly, and all his strength was stored in his feet.

  Leng Xi stood by, constantly blinking her eyes, feeling anxious and at a loss for what to do. She hated fighting the most and didn't want to see it happen, but now it seemed like things were about to escalate into a big fight. What was she supposed to do? Her brow furrowed in distress.

  A cold and stern gaze, from the corner of the second floor corridor, was cast onto Leng Qing's body without any deviation. The deep eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger and cunning. In the dim light, Ling Han's mouth curled up into a sly smile, his eyes gleaming with a cold light: Mu Rong Xiao Zuo, you're very clever, knowing how to manipulate people, but did you expect that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear halfway?

  Ling Han has been holding back until now because he originally thought that Murong Shuang had a backup team behind him, and the several experts by his side would rush over. He was waiting for them to come together, then take them down all at once. But judging from the current situation, it seems that Murong Shuang is alone in the country. Now is the best opportunity to capture him.

  Ling Han made a gesture with his hand in the morning, signaling Du Shaoxi to take action.

  Du Shaohui's blood was boiling, and his bright eyes were shining with extraordinary excitement. He had been holding back for a long time and wanted to have a big fight!

  The suppressed excitement was released, and Du Shaohui led his men into action.

  Murong Xiao's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her sensitive ears twitched a few times, sensing the approaching danger.

  Ji Xinmie's anger had not dissipated, she took a deep breath, clenched her fist and launched another attack on Murong Xiaozi! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! What Ji Xinmie feared the least was death! What she hated the most was men's contempt!

  I won't bother you if you don't bother me. If someone touches her bottom line, she will fight for justice even if it costs her life!

  It seems like they're going to fight again, and Leng Xi is anxiously pacing back and forth on one side.

  Facing Ji Xin's tense sword, Murong Xiao's eyes slightly sank, and he dodged to one side, clearly not in the mood for battle. He had been interested in playing a few rounds with Ji Xin earlier, but the current situation didn't allow him to indulge in a prolonged fight. Ling Han was already making his move, and if he were to engage in a fierce battle with Ji Xin, it would only give Ling Han the opportunity to reap the benefits of their conflict.

  His purpose of jumping into the net this time will also be completely disrupted!

  Seeing Murong Xiao only knew to dodge and had no intention of fighting back, Ji Xin's doubts grew even more. She, who was normally calm and collected, couldn't help but furrow her brow. She retracted her fists and feet, scanning the surroundings with a sweeping gaze, finally discovering something out of the ordinary: this was a hotel in normal operation hours, so why wasn't there anyone else around? Even if there weren't any moving guests, shouldn't there be service staff at least?!

  The hotel lobby was quiet and empty, unusually so!

  Realizing this situation, she was suddenly shocked in her heart, her nerves tightened, and when she looked at Cold Creek who was still at a loss beside her, she seemed to understand something.

  She no longer hesitated and quickly retreated to Leng Xi's side, pulling her arm as they hastily walked away. "Let's go! There's a trap here, we have to leave quickly!"

  "It's too late!" came Mu Yong Xiao Zhi's icy voice from behind.

  Leng Xi's back felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes narrowed and he subconsciously took a step back in terror.

  Because in front of them, two tall men wearing black camouflage uniforms appeared, with a cold face, eagle-like eyes, holding a gun, aiming at her and Ji Xin's forehead, slowly approaching them.

  He grasped Qixi Mo's arm tightly, and a bead of sweat appeared in Leng Xi's palm. In his ancient well-like eyes, a hint of fear was revealed.

  Gun!

  It was actually a gun! It was the first time in her life that she had seen a gun, and it was such a terrifying thing that it made her feel like her head was spinning.

  But the person at the door, Ling Han's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his calm heart beat with an accelerating rhythm: Mu Rong Xiao Zuo's backup personnel! They've finally arrived! And it's perfect timing, he even personally let them in!

  Ling Han had just ordered Du Shaohui to withdraw the brothers waiting at the hotel entrance, preparing to concentrate them inside the hotel for battle, when Murong Shuozhuo's people took advantage of the emptiness and entered safely!

  "Ling Han, didn't expect this, did you? Even someone as astute as you can make mistakes! Aren't you going to come out?" Mu Rong Xiao's cold voice suddenly rang out.

  Ling Han! Is Ling Han here?

  This name suddenly burst into Leng Xi's ears, causing her chest to heave with inexplicable excitement.
