Chapter – 56
Xing Qi
Xiao Ziye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and saw Li Qingqing rushing over.
He suddenly shouted, “Run!”
The people surrounding them turned to look at Li Qingqing.
Xiaoya, Moli, the people of the White Snake Tribe, and even Qi Shen.
The scent she exuded made some of the White Snake Tribe members uncontrollably rush forward.
“She’s in heat, a female! Hahaha!”
They laughed in an extremely lecherous way.
Bai Yuan and Ling Mo shielded her behind them. Since they had attacked first, there was no time to be polite.
Both transformed into their beast forms, tiger paws smashing down on their heads, crushing them brutally.
Qi Shen, however, laughed as he walked, his expression extremely ferocious. “What are you two waiting for? Kill Li Qingqing! Whoever becomes the leader of the Silver Tiger Tribe will be whoever we want!”
Xiaoya, meanwhile, was savoring the scent of Li Qingqing. “Killing her outright would be a waste. Better let me have some fun first.”
Li Qingqing stepped back a half step. Were they fighting over the position of chief too?
But only a female could be the chief of the Silver Tiger Tribe. She immediately thought of Su Qianyi.
Bai Yuan bared his teeth, unable to tolerate anyone coveting Li Qingqing like that.
His earth-type powers raised huge chunks of earth and hurled them toward the attackers.
Somehow, Qi Shen, originally only capable of wind-type powers, completely neutralized them using wood-type powers.
“Wood-type powers? How is that possible? He’s clearly a wind-type user!” Ling Mo’s voice trembled as he spoke.
[Host, be careful. There’s another traveler. I can sense her nearby.]
Hearing the system’s warning, Li Qingqing set the surrounding trees on fire.
This not only dispersed the white mist but also illuminated the battlefield, revealing the enemies’ hiding spots.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a figure emerged from the flames.
She wore a black robe, her face mostly obscured by a hat, only her lips and chin visible—clearly a female.
But this black robe was obviously not made in this world.
[Host, another traveler has arrived.]
“Li Qingqing, you’re smart,” she said.
Qi Shen half-kneeling before her, the others also knelt.
“But compared to me, you’re still lacking. How about you give me your body?”
She laughed smugly.
Xiao Ziye shot a water arrow from his fingertip, knocking off her hat.
A horrific scar ran from her right cheek all the way to the top of her head. Every hair gone.
Li Qingqing froze—not because of the scar, but because she had no beastly features at all.
She was… human?
The woman, panicked, covered her face and put the hat back on.
“You’re just a beast!” she spat at Xiao Ziye and hurled a massive rock at him.
Without thinking, Li Qingqing rushed forward and trapped the rock in a vine net she had woven.
This only infuriated the woman further.
Her strength was incredible. When she grabbed Li Qingqing by the neck, Li Qingqing couldn’t resist at all.
Xiao Ziye propped himself up, struggling to transform back into his true form.
The entire snake body coiled around the woman.
“Is this a massage for me? Little snake?” she said, then picked Xiao Ziye up and threw him.
Ling Mo easily took care of Xiaoya and Moli.
Bai Yuan was still engaged with Qi Shen.
Normally, Qi Shen would be no match for Bai Yuan even for half a round, but now Bai Yuan was clearly at a disadvantage.
Ling Mo wanted to go help him.
“Go help Qingqing!” Bai Yuan ordered.
Xiao Ziye lay on the ground, barely breathing.
Li Qingqing was about to heal the two lying there when the woman charged again, determined to kill her today.
Li Qingqing immediately erected a barrier.
The green shield protected the three of them inside. No matter how hard the others tried, they couldn’t break it.
“You still have some skill, but how long can you hold out?”
Before she finished speaking, Ling Mo lunged at her.
A tiger tooth pressed against her neck, but she struck it away with a single palm.
“Hurry and heal them!” Ling Mo shouted as she attacked again.
Thanks to her healing, Chi Lin soon regained consciousness.
But Xiao Ziye didn’t move at all.
Li Qingqing’s trembling index finger touched his nose—he was no longer breathing.
“Xiao Ziye, wake up!” Li Qingqing shook him in disbelief.
Seeing the scene outside, Chi Lin rushed out despite the danger. His combat abilities were average, only capable of using powers—but the enemy could counter even water-type powers perfectly.
“Xiao Ziye!” Li Qingqing shouted, increasingly desperate, but his body temperature had already dropped to freezing.
“Xiao… Ziye, wake up!” she cried in desperation.
Watching the battle, her beast companions were clearly losing.
She gently wiped the blood from Xiao Ziye’s face and slowly stood up.
“You wanted to kill me, right? Let them leave. Just kill me!”
Chi Lin retreated to her side. “Qingqing, you have to go!”
“Cousin, she’s after me. Take Xiao Ziye and leave!”
Bai Yuan, battered and bruised, still stood in front of Li Qingqing.
“Qingqing, listen to me. Didn’t you promise you wouldn’t treat me like a child anymore? I’m not a child—I can protect you. Go!”
Ling Mo shouted as well, “Go now!”
Li Qingqing wiped the tears from her face but then smeared Xiao Ziye’s blood back on him.
“Cousin, tell them. You knew I wasn’t the real Li Qingqing. I’m not your cousin. Why are you still protecting me?”
“Doesn’t matter. I don’t care who you really are!” Chi Lin’s eyes filled with tears.
“You think they haven’t guessed? We all know,” she said.
“I see,” she wiped more tears but felt more determined. “Trading one for four is worth it. Let them go.”
[Host, her name is Xing Qi. She’s from the cultivation world. You can’t beat her—run!]
Xing Qi looked at their devotion and laughed. “Hahaha, you’re all so amusing. If she didn’t have a good body, would any of you even look at her?”
“You don’t have to be too sad. Once I kill her, this good body will be mine, and then you’ll all love me,” she raved, almost unhinged.
Li Qingqing gathered all her powers into one point, forming huge vines that bound the four of them and threw them aside.
“Qingqing! No!”
Xing Qi was surprised. She hadn’t expected Li Qingqing to be so loyal.
“Die!”
Xing Qi jumped, sword in hand, aiming straight for Li Qingqing’s heart.
The sword pierced through her chest cleanly.
The pain… was intense. Blood stained her fur.
But in the next second, Li Qingqing was enveloped in a bright light.
A powerful force flung Xing Qi and her sword away.
Qi Shen, who had thought victory was assured, was stunned.
He rushed to support her. “A goddess? A goddess, this is…”
Then he looked at Li Qingqing. Her wounds had already healed completely.
