'Flash' Woman activated her Flash immediately.
With her hair disheveled like a fierce ghost, 'Little Night Light' didn't even have a chance to scream before she was turned into powder by the spreading Six-Colored Annihilation Divine Light.
'Flash' Woman reappeared two meters from where she was originally standing, her clothes half-frayed by the divine light. When she flashed again and reappeared another two meters away, she was already within the divine light—the spread of the divine light was faster than her flash.
The silhouettes of a person and dog were gradually dissolved in the Six-Colored Divine Light.
[Punishment ended, player functions unblocked] Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia received the notification.
The lake water gently swayed, illuminated by the Six-Colored Divine Light, enchanting onlookers as if there was a captivating six-colored river beneath their feet.
Li Changzhou, standing atop the eighteenth level of Hell, was gasping for air, his body barely able to stay upright.
Yang Qinglan's face was equally pale. If it hadn't been for her use of 'Gu She Divine Woman' earlier to turn the entire square into a lake, it would have been a piece of cake for her.
She hadn't thought of that method before, constrained by the typical human mindset that subconsciously avoided causing widespread destruction.
It wasn't until Li Changzhou, without negotiation, prepared to slaughter tens of thousands of people that she was inspired, or rather, forced to come up with this idea.
"Captain Zheng," Li Changzhou looked towards Zheng Qing, "please register these people. I will compensate them later."
Zheng Qing nodded, her expression slightly complex.
There were players far crueler, more venomous, and more ruthless than Li Changzhou scattered everywhere.
Especially among the higher-level players—including those from the Special Warfare Bureau—almost every one of them was merciless because they had all fought through hordes of their kind to get where they were.
But to kill ten to twenty thousand people just like that...
The choice of negotiators for tonight would likely have to be reconsidered. Any plans to ingratiate themselves would have to be executed with utmost caution.
The lake water quickly reverted back to solid ground to prevent babies and those unable to swim from drowning.
Zheng Qing and her team went to check the situation. When they looked back, Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia had already disappeared.
◇
Honey Pot World.
Upon entering, Li Qianxia was hanging her head low.
"Bro..."
"What's wrong?"
"...Sorry, I made you play the bad guy."
"What does that have to do with you?" Li Changzhou's index finger was pressed underneath his middle finger, aimed at her forehead, and he snapped his finger.
He continued, "You didn't know those people would come after you, and they clearly could have just targeted you but chose to kill innocent people instead. Such people can't be indulged; the more you indulge them, the more lawless they become."
"So you indulge your sister?" Yang Qinglan said with a lack of enthusiasm.
In the past, the greatest achievement of Li Changzhou was being the top literary scholar of Ming City. Now things were different; if he kept spoiling his sister as he did in the past, Li Qianxia might become lawless too.
No wonder they came from a "Jade Leaf" background.
'Gu She Divine Woman' had been used up because of a playful act between the two.
This also proved that Li Qianxia was indeed innocent; neither she nor they had anticipated that the players would attack at that time. If there was blame, it lay with all three of them.
Yang Qinglan, with that in mind, failed to realize that she had also begun to indulge Li Qianxia.
Li Qianxia suddenly hugged Li Changzhou.
"See how good your brother is to you? Are you moved?" Li Changzhou was clearly pleased, patting her slender back, evidence of the deep bond between the siblings.
".....I'm afraid to move."
"Hmm?"
Li Qianxia slightly pulled away from him and looked down at her pants; Li Changzhou followed her gaze, and saw her black jeans, wet with a spot no bigger than a fingernail.
"Did you pee yourself?"
"Do you believe I'll burst you? Who asked you to say that!"
Li Qianxia flashed away, fleeing to her room.
"You should have left her some dignity."
"...My bad."
"Actually, I noticed it earlier when she decided to enter Corpse Sect. Maybe she didn't even realize it herself; she's really afraid of ghosts."
"Extremely afraid!"
The wind stirred the leaves, and there was a moment of quiet.
"Didn't take a picture, what a pity."
"Yeah."
The brother and sister-in-law looked at the sister changing her pants inside the house, both wearing expressions of regret.
