That's What Villains Are Like

The Bloody Plateau is dark, with great rift valleys running through the land one after another.

In the void, there was still some thin blood-colored mist floating around.

Countless monsters rushed out from various areas, and the torrents rolled, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky, rocks rolling, and the mountains rumbling and shaking.

Chi!

A dazzling sword energy suddenly fell from the horizon like a waterfall in the Han River.

The void seemed to have solidified. When the sword energy passed by, a large area of ​​monsters was instantly frozen, and then turned into a piece of powder with a crisp clicking sound.

A slender figure wearing a plain gauze skirt with fluttering skirts, leaning on a sword across the sky, arrived like a divine rainbow.

All the monsters blocking the way were disintegrated in front of her with a single sword strike, and they didn't even have time to scream, turning into powder that filled the sky.

Soon, a path was cleared in front of her.

Li Mengning's body is graceful, her posture is ethereal, and she can't hide a hint of worry in her quiet expression.

Countless sword shadows surround him.

Behind her, it was as if there was an ancient sword cave opening, and the shadows of divine swords appeared one after another, and then whizzed past, across the sky and the earth, with astonishing sharpness, cutting everything.

She didn't know why such a big change suddenly occurred on the Bloody Plateau.

I don’t know why countless monsters suddenly went berserk.

She only knows now...that disobedient guy is in danger at the moment.

Buzz! ! !

Sword shadows filled the sky, roaring and slashing away. The sword light was like a sea, covering the sky and the earth, covering hundreds of miles.

Li Mengning's pair of quiet eyes quickly scanned various areas, and her other slender jade hand was still holding a cleanly cleaned Cistanche deserticola.

Suddenly, she saw the familiar figure behind a rock half a man's height not far away.

He didn't look injured, but his face was much paler than before.

"Jiang Lan..." Her heart finally relaxed and turned into a stream of light, falling next to Jiang Lan.

"You're here?"

A familiar fragrance came from her nose. Jiang Lan glanced at her and asked knowingly.

He could clearly feel that Li Mengning seemed a little angry, and there was no emotional ups and downs on the face covered by the gauze. Although it was like this in the past, she would not ignore him like she did today.

At least ask her yourself and she will hum softly.

However, he was the one who fooled her first. He had no cultivation before. Not to mention going deep into the Bloody Plateau alone, even this sudden wave of violent monsters could easily kill him.

"Don't be angry, I was wrong."

Jiang Lan smiled, then immediately admitted and apologized, "There won't be a next time."

Li Mengning stared at his face with her quiet eyes, and then softly uttered two words, "Liar."

She was indeed a little angry, but it was not because Jiang Lan fooled her.

But he knew that he had no cultivation, yet he wanted to force his way into the depths of the bloody plateau and make fun of his own life.

"I'm sure, and you know that I'm very afraid of death, and I can't make fun of my own life easily."

Jiang Lan seemed to know what she was thinking, and said softly, "I don't have much, except that I have many trump cards to save my life."

Li Mengning still didn't speak, looking at him quietly with clear eyes.

"Okay, next time I take risks, I won't push you away again."

Jiang Lan felt a slight headache.

After saying this, Li Mengning hummed softly, and then said softly, "There will be a sect coming here soon."

Jiang Lan also understood that that's why he was waiting for her here. He just didn't know how many realm-breaking talismans Li Mengning still had on him. This was a good thing for escaping.

However, it requires a certain amount of strength to activate the realm-breaking talisman. Originally, he had no cultivation, so even if he brought the realm-breaking talisman, it would be useless, so he didn't have one on him.

It seems that I will have to go back home and ask for some more.

"Let's go..."

Jiang Lan said, then he wrapped his arms around Li Mengning's slender waist very naturally and familiarly, and hugged her tightly.

It's not that he deliberately took advantage.

But without the talisman light covering the realm-breaking talisman, with his current physical strength, he would not be able to withstand it while traveling through the void, and would be blown apart by the strong wind.

There was so much movement on the Bloody Plateau, but no one could possibly suspect him.

Li Mengning gently pursed her red lips, and her flawless ears were stained with wisps of rosy red.

Then, the void in front of him trembled slightly, blurred ripples spread, and the two figures quickly disappeared.

On the way, Jiang Lan smelled the slightest smell of blood, and was a little surprised. It was not the smelly blood of monsters, but a strange fragrance.

"Are you injured?" he asked.

The monster guarding the Nine-yin Cistanche deserticola should not be Li Mengning's opponent.

"There are two ends." Li Mengning replied.

Two demon beasts at the demon king level were killed by her. Although she was slightly injured, her strength was indeed terrifying.

There are probably very few young prodigies of the same generation who can block her sword at this time.

In the original plot, if she hadn't been delayed by herself and Dao's heart hadn't been broken by her death later, it would have been really difficult for the protagonist Lin Fan to quickly surpass her.

Not only is this guy very talented, he is also very hardworking. When he disappears, he is always practicing.

"That thousand-year-old Nine-yin Cistanche deserticola is a rare treasure of heaven and earth for you who practice Taishang Xuanyou Gong. After you refine it, your strength should be improved a lot." Jiang Lan said.

"You don't want it?" Li Mengning was a little confused.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "What's the point of asking for it? I'm a useless person who can't practice. It's just a waste to use this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure on me."

Li Mengning was stunned, looking straight at him with her quiet eyes, and then said seriously, "You are not a useless person..."

In her heart, Jiang Lan has never been a useless person, no matter before or now.

"Go back and try taking the Nine-yin Cistanche deserticola." She whispered again.

Jiang Lan felt that this quasi-saintess was really stubborn.

He sighed helplessly and said, "I asked you to pick the Nine-yin Cistanche deserticola and refine it yourself. I still count on you to protect me. You are no longer stronger. If you encounter someone stronger than that Lin Fan is the stronger assassin, who will protect me?"

"Uncle Ying can't follow me every step of the way. I can't get rid of your little tail."

Li Menning was slightly stunned when she heard Jiang Lan call herself Little Tail.

It seems that she is really like his tail. Wherever he goes, she follows him. Doesn't he like this?

"I mean, from now on, I can only count on you to protect me, so you have to become stronger."

Jiang Lan knew that she must have misunderstood, so after thinking about it, she changed her words.

Otherwise, with this guy's brain, I don't know how long he will have to go around.

"Um……"

"I...I will protect you."

Li Mengning's head was still a little dazed, and Jiang Lan's words from now on... were still echoing in her ears.

"Um?"

Jiang Lan couldn't help but be surprised when he noticed that Li Mengning in his arms suddenly seemed to be acting strangely.

"You...you hugged me too tight..."

Li Mengning whispered, "I... suddenly felt a little out of breath."

By the time the two returned to Yuyi City in Jiangling County, it was already the evening of the next day, dusk was setting in the west, and the sunset was as gorgeous as maple.
