Chapter 121: What Kind of Thing Are You?
That look gave Ji Ke an immediate sense of foreboding. Even the scent of cold, serpentine incense—usually so pleasant—now felt sinister, chilling her skin.
She asked nervously, “Didn’t you say we were doing the intake process?”
Standing three meters away, Qi Ye’s voice was as cold as ice.
“Tell me. Where is Chi Wan?”
Green energy surged, and the Silver Python materialized in the air!
It loomed directly behind him, staring at her with venomous eyes as if it might devour her with its fangs at any second.
Panic flared in Ji Ke’s heart.
Why was the plot going like this?
To arrive early, she had paid an immense price. Her energy was only at the over-SSS Second Tier, and her System’s Primordial Power had been depleted by 45%. Was this treatment the only reward for her sacrifice?
Indignant, she kept her face cold.
“What are you asking me?”
[Don’t look him in the eye!]
Ji Ke lowered her head.
SHING!
A long blade cleared its scabbard, bringing a gust of wind. The tip, capable of slicing through stone like butter, pressed against her chin, laden with frigid energy. The vibrating edge even nicked her skin, drawing a bead of blood!
Ji Ke hadn’t expected him to draw his weapon immediately. Just as she was about to protest, the blade flicked upward!
It slapped hard against her chin with a sharp crack, forcing her head up violently.
As her features contorted in pain, Ji Ke’s panic intensified.
She met those green eyes, filled with murderous intent, in terror.
[He’s reading the images in your mind! We can’t wait anymore. I must use Primordial Power to seal your thoughts and block his reading!]
[Consuming 20% Primordial Power to activate Mind-Reading Block—]
[Hold steady. This one has fallen for that Chi Wan, but there are six others.]
[Calm is the most important thing.]
[He can no longer read your thoughts. Look him in the eye with confidence and show your charm.]
Ji Ke was already flustered, but she raised her gaze to meet his green eyes.
Suddenly, the door on the other side burst open.
SCREECH!
A high-pitched, piercing eagle cry rang out. Immediately after, Ji Ke felt a massive presence charging toward her. Sharp, knife-like talons lashed out, scaring her so badly her mental entity manifested as she ducked to the floor!
The silver phoenix’s wings wrapped tightly around her for protection.
Bracing herself with her arms, Ji Ke looked up in terror to see five newly arrived, top-tier men, each with a distinct style.
Leading them was a man in a gray-purple combat suit with messy flaxen hair. His deep gray eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, made people look away in fear; a refined air hid his inner ferocity.
Beside him stood a tall man exuding a powerful masculine aura. One look at him provided a sense of “boyfriend material,” his temperament noble, his golden eyes cold and arrogant.
Further back, a white-haired man, bright and sunny as the April sun, caught her eye. His phoenix eyes gave him an air of tenderness as he glanced at her.
A cold, blue-haired man stood in the rear, his eyes—untainted by the mortal world—showing no emotion.
And on the other side, a black-haired man in leather combat gear had a sharp aura that could not hide his wild nature.
She loved every single one of them.
Ji Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
She was saved.
SCREECH!
The falcon circled back and attacked her again!
This time, its razor-sharp talons tore a large clump of feathers from the phoenix. Beneath the silver plumage, bloody gashes appeared on the phoenix’s body, and blood splattered!
Ji Ke cried out in pain, her body trembling. Her heart was now filled with terror, any thoughts of male beauty vanished. She couldn’t help but control the phoenix to counter-attack!
The phoenix shrieked and flew toward Pei Yuan, colliding with the falcon in mid-air, only to be sent crashing into the wall by the Golden Dragon’s massive tail!
Following the violent impact, blood leaked from the corner of Ji Ke’s mouth. She immediately tried to rely on a Guide’s natural suppression over Sentinels to control their mental power and five senses, but the falcon’s talons hooked into her collar and hoisted her up. She was crushed by the dual weight of their mental power and energy.
The falcon dropped her in front of the six men.
Seeing her shivering like a leaf, Pei Yuan walked forward slowly. His eyes were sinister behind his glasses, but the smile on his lips was unrestrained.
“Finally, you’ve settled down.”
Cang Lin looked at Qi Ye. “What did you read?”
Qi Ye looked coldly at Ji Ke, who was suspended in mid-air.
“Something about a ‘System’ and ‘Usurping.’ The images were fragmented and almost non-existent; it was mostly her internal monologue. And she’s used some method to block me; I can’t read her anymore.”
Shen Yu was confused. “A System?”
“So Chi Wan’s disappearance really is related to her?”
Qi Ye nodded.
“Then this is easy.”
Pei Yuan’s smile was savage. He raised his chain-blades toward Ji Ke, his words sounding like they came from the depths of hell.
“I’ll give you three minutes. Tell us where Chi Wan is, or I’ll kill you.”
Ji Ke shuddered, frantically calling out to her System in her mind.
“Didn’t you say there was a way to force them to love me? Quick, do it!”
[Sending you here early cost a lot of Primordial Power. Forcefully shifting favorability takes time. You must stall as much as possible.]
[30% Primordial Power can change one person. I will start by changing Cang Lin’s favorability—he has the highest combat value. He’s the tallest one with golden eyes. It will help you stay alive for now.]
[The others will have to wait until my power recovers.]
[Starting favorability shift for Cang Lin—]
Pei Yuan’s voice rang out cruelly:
“178 seconds remaining.”
“160 seconds remaining.”
He had skipped 17 seconds.
Ji Ke cursed in her heart. This man looked handsome, but he was a total psycho who didn’t play by the rules!
She hurried to speak: “I… I think I really do know her. Three minutes! Let me think! Don’t rush me!”
[Cang Lin’s current favorability toward you: -99.]
[Beginning reversal—]
Pei Yuan ignored her and continued:
“100 seconds remaining.”
He had skipped over fifty seconds.
[-80.]
Ji Ke: “Wait! Stop talking! You’re breaking my train of thought!”
“80 seconds remaining.”
Another 18 seconds gone.
Ji Ke gritted her teeth. “Ah! I remember now! I think I saw her once, but I don’t know her.”
Qi Ye suddenly asked, “Where did you see her?”
“In Qianfeng Town on Planet N-3!”
“Liar.”
Qi Ye’s voice was frigid. The images he had read from Chi Wan that day were of a vast, white void; it didn’t look like the physical world at all.
Pei Yuan looked at Ji Ke and arched an eyebrow.
“It seems you really don’t want to live.”
Ji Ke felt a surge of despair.
Had that woman Chi Wan told them everything?
How hateful! What a scheming green tea bitch!
[0.]
[10.]
“Last 10 seconds.”
Shen Yu stepped forward, his gaze icy.
“Tell us where Chi Wan is. If she’s safe, we can let you live.”
It was impossible to tell if it was a ruse or the truth.
[40.]
Ji Ke looked nervously at Cang Lin. Sure enough, the disgust in his eyes had vanished.
There was even a trace of hesitant pity.
She regained some confidence, her voice no longer trembling.
“I really don’t know. How could I have the power to make a living person vanish into thin air?”
[80.]
“Stop wasting breath on her.”
Pei Yuan pushed Shen Yu aside. He lashed out with his chain-blades, the weapon wreathed in gray-white energy like a thunderbolt, carrying the power to destroy everything as it swung toward Ji Ke!
[99!]
BANG!
A violent collision.
A massive dragon tail blocked the chain-blades!
The dragon’s body was sliced open, blood spraying!
The Golden Dragon shielded Ji Ke behind it. Everyone looked in confusion at Cang Lin, who stood in front of Ji Ke.
Pei Yuan was the first to speak. “Have you lost your mind?”
Cang Lin turned to look at the shivering Ji Ke behind him, his heart filled with pity. He looked coldly at the other five.
“If you want to kill her, you have to kill me first.”
Qi Ye’s brow furrowed. “This woman really is unnatural.”
They were all extremely intelligent and realized it immediately.
Yun Qi spoke flatly: “She has some sort of charm technique.”
Pei Yuan sneered at Cang Lin. “The stupidest one fell for it.”
Shi Ye shook his head. “Truly bizarre.”
Pei Yuan: “Then we might as well kill this stupid dragon along with her.”
Seeing how ruthless these men were, Ji Ke was terrified.
She tugged at Cang Lin’s sleeve and whispered:
“Brother Cang Lin, can we form a designated Sentinel-Guide bond? I’m so scared.”
With a designated bond, he could protect her twenty-four hours a day. When something happened and the “raw rice was cooked,” he would have to take responsibility for her.
“Fine.”
Cang Lin didn’t even think. He opened his optical computer and pulled up his profile. In the “Designated Bond” column, a name was already bound.
The name Chi Wan was grayed out, with the small words (Destroyed) beneath it.
It struck a chord deep in his heart.
[Oh no.]
[Cang Lin’s favorability is fluctuating!]
[10.]
[0.]
[-99!]
[-9999999999!!]
What?
Before Ji Ke could react, she was sent flying by the Golden Dragon’s tail!
The force was immense, nearly crushing her internal organs.
She heard the man’s deep, furious voice:
“What kind of thing do you think you are, trying to take her place in my heart?”
