858 He’s Ou (1/2)

Ji Lingxi was waiting quietly at the lakeside. Yun Yang had yet to resurface, even after the sky was starting to turn lighter.

It's been one whole night and he still hasn't surfaced?

Throughout the entire time, the surface of the lake remained calm, without the slightest hint of ripples. It seemed unusually quiet, but there was a whole living human being in it!

Where had Yun Yang gone to?

Even after waiting until daybreak, Yun Yang still had yet to appear. She could not help but feel alarmed.

Maybe he had encountered some sort of danger? Perhaps he had been ambushed... maybe he had been eaten by a large fish?

Reaching this thought, Ji Lingxi jumped into the water without wasting another moment.

Even after swimming a few rounds in the Seven Star Lake, she still could not detect any signs of Yun Yang. She was unable to stop herself from panicking!

He had clearly gone down there, but why was there no sign of him?

She surfaced for a moment to take another breath before submerging once more to continue the search.

Ji Lingxi stayed and searched in the lake for a whole day, but not the slightest glimpse of Yun Yang could be found.

Eventually, the ten or so people who had become recluses in this area came over to inquire after him.

”Young lady, did Lord Supreme Cloud go down under to look for the secret?”

”Tsk tsk… we've tried many times to scour the bottom of this lake in the past. Although we couldn't find anything, there was no real danger down below.”

”Why has he vanished? This is such a strange thing indeed.”

”Aah… perhaps… Lord Supreme Cloud has suffered the wrath of the heavens?”

”This is rather hard to tell…”

”Say, what should be done?”

”Aah… this rather unpleasant to say…”

Ji Lingxi was extremely anxious, her mental state overwhelmed by wild panic. Judging by the time that had elapsed since Yun Yang had entered the lake, these people assumed that he must have been struck by some form of misfortune, and began to gloat as they rode on her distress.

They decided to stay, watching by the lakeside as Ji Lingxi combed through the lake, again and again, shedding crocodile tears as they offered doses of condolences when she surfaced in between each dive. There was not really a problem, generally speaking — they did not give Ji Lingxi a reason to get mad.

However, their gloating was very apparent, vividly displayed in plain sight.

Anger sparked within Ji Lingxi's heart bit by bit, and gradually reached a boiling point — suddenly, she erupted.

Do you think you're safe because you've survived the bigger picture? If I want to kill all of you, do I need a reason to do so?

Is there a need?

Is there no need?

There isn't really a need!

”Even if Supreme Cloud is dead, there's still no reason for trash like you to gloat yet! Die, all of you—”

Ji Lingxi went berserk in absolute rage, and charged into a killing spree!

Her initial strike immediately eliminated four of them at once, and noting that she might as well finish what she started, she promptly went after the heads of the remaining seven, hunting them down at full force!

She was already full of gloominess and feeling frustrated without the room to release her pent-up negativity. With the men here fanning the flames by gloating incessantly, how could she still uphold her ladylike demeanor?

Who gave you the nerve to make fun of Supreme Cloud in front of me?

Do I look like some nice, good-natured lady to you?

Her eyebrows dipped down in anger as she commenced her killing spree. In just a few moments, all eleven of them had been massacred.
