Ji Chengtian heard the comment and felt a "thump" in his heart, internally noting that this was bad news. At the same time, he unconsciously looked over at Fang Yuxin. To his horror, he saw that as his subordinates charged towards her, a flash of white light appeared, and suddenly nine enormous mutated creatures emerged by her side. Because they were so swift, he didn’t even have time to discern what they were, only feeling as if they looked like giant pythons, and his subordinates who had charged at Fang Yuxin were directly flung away!
With cries of agony and the sound of breaking bones, these men crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get up for quite a while! Those who had not made a move turned pale, watching Fang Yuxin with eyes filled with terror. They had now recognized that those creatures guarding Fang Yuxin were some type of mutant plants. They all knew that certain mutant plants were extremely ferocious, but they had never imagined that these mutant plants could be controlled by someone!
At this moment, their view of Fang Yuxin transformed significantly; they no longer dared to underestimate her as an ordinary person without combat ability. Then someone with a sharp eye noticed an odd bracelet wrapped around Fang Yuxin’s wrist, resembling a flower stalk. After Lan Re left, Red Powder elongated its body, wrapping around Fang Yuxin’s hand in a circle, becoming quite noticeable and impossible to miss.
After witnessing the power of Lan Re, the people around no longer dared to consider the odd thing on Fang Yuxin’s wrist as just a bracelet, and they all speculated—could it be a type of mutated creature as well?
At this point, Fang Yuxin spoke, "We are all survivors. My intention of coming here was not to slaughter recklessly. However, if someone insists on seeking death, then don’t blame my pets for being heavy-handed."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone changed, especially those who had just attacked Fang Yuxin. One by one, their faces turned ashen, cursing Ji Chengtian in their hearts as too deceitful. Previously, they had been intimidated by Ji Chengtian’s aura and had failed to recognize his malevolent intentions. But now, as they were injured, their minds had cleared, and they realized—Ji Chengtian clearly wanted them dead!
As Fang Yuxin’s gaze swept over them, they were filled with even greater fear, and unconsciously, they looked over at Fang Yuxin again. But what they saw made their hearts grow cold—what on earth were those things!
What they saw were Lan Re. The main body of Lan Re was extremely large, and each leaf it bore was exceedingly sharp, resembling scales that could act as weapons to shred enemies. Moreover, the flowers at the top of their heads were like giant mouths, with a spiraling arrangement of sharp teeth inside, truly a biological weapon!
Although these people had seen ferocious mutant plants, they had never encountered such a challenging scenario at such proximity; they were dripping with cold sweat, fearing they might be devoured by Lan Re.
Fang Yuxin knew these people must be closely associated with Ji Chengtian, likely his confidants. These people must have done their share of evil while with Ji Chengtian, but there were too many people; they couldn’t all be killed. So Fang Yuxin didn’t order Lan Re to attack them again and instead withdrew Lan Re.
The people present then saw the ferocious Lan Re become docile with Fang Yuxin’s touch, even twisting its gigantic body as if shyly. Then it transformed into a beam of white light, returning to Fang Yuxin’s wrist, turning into—an inconspicuous White Jade Bracelet.
At first glance, the bracelet seemed very plain, so although it had been seen before, no one had taken it seriously, thinking it was just a piece of jewelry that Fang Yuxin was wearing. After all, even after the apocalypse, women who loved beauty were still abundant, and people who were worn out from struggling for a living naturally could not afford to wear cumbersome jewelry. However, those not worried about making a living, or those serving others with their beauty, always sought to adorn themselves.
So when they saw the bracelet on Fang Yuxin’s wrist, no one was surprised, subconsciously categorizing her as one of those privileged or beauty-serving individuals, inevitably looking down on her a bit.
Yet now, having witnessed the transformation of Lan Re with their own eyes, they naturally no longer dared to underestimate Fang Yuxin. Instead, they were all extremely wary of her.
On another note, with a "bang," Fang Yuyang fiercely slammed Ji Chengtian to the ground. His fingers trembled continuously, no longer able to wield his superpower!
Startled by the noise, Fang Yuxin and the others instinctively looked over and saw Ji Chengtian with a face bruised blue and purple, his head swollen like a pig’s, and an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Most of the people present had disliked Ji Chengtian but dared not defy him. Now seeing Ji Chengtian beaten to such a pitiful state, they couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude, thinking he got what he deserved. Ji Chengtian’s scheming had not gone unnoticed by many, and they thought him utterly despicable. His current plight seemed to be self-inflicted.
Fang Yuxin walked over to Fang Yuyang, not glancing at Ji Chengtian, but first checking Fang Yuyang’s hands to see that he wasn’t injured. Then she said, "Brother, why did you beat him up? Isn’t it tiring? What if you hurt your hands?"
Fang Yuyang gave her a somewhat speechless look. He was a man, not some delicate pillow. It was just beating someone up; how could it possibly hurt his own hands?
Turning to see Ji Chengtian, who was already internally injured, Fang Yuxin’s outburst made him spit out blood. Seeing this, Fang Yuxin quickly pulled Fang Yuyang away to avoid getting splattered. This action further agitated Ji Chengtian, as if he was some kind of filthy object.
He clenched his fists tightly, eyes locked on Fang Yuxin, wishing he could use Wind Blade to tear her to pieces!
