to his chest, and said thoughtfully:"Do you think my potions are very helpful for minors, and do you want to sell them to improve the physical strength of minors""Pretty much, your potions are helpfu...When Ripples' eyes opened a crack, she found her vision blurry. Around her, she could hear the muffled sounds of arguments rising and falling.

"What should I do The person is already gone!"

“We were just messing around with him, who knew they were so fragile We only hit them twice and they were done!”

"What should we do now If our family finds out, we're in trouble."

He's just a bastard, the head of the house could kill us all for him!

The third voice spoke out in dissatisfaction.

"Even as a bastard, he's still a Rhodesman. Now that we've made a mistake and killed him, they won't let it go! We'll be punished, what if they cut off our supply of potions"

"Alright, stop it! Do you want everyone to know that Lian was killed by us"

"What should we do then"

He came here alone, and this is the 'Dark Forest', full of monsters. He was boasting that he would come to hunt monsters, but he was bitten to death by a monster, and it has nothing to do with us.

After calming down the agitated few, the young man put forward a solution.

"Yeah! Just throw his body into the Dark Forest and leave it for the monsters inside."

When you guys came out, did you tell the people around you that you were here to see Lian

The boy asked again.

"Of course not, I said I came to see Brother Henry and discuss training matters."

"Me too!"

"I would never tell anyone else that I met with my illegitimate child."

"It's best if everyone sticks to the same story, or none of you will escape the wrath of the Rodman family!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Henry!"

Five people came to an agreement, and then approached the boy with long hair lying down, ready to throw him into the dark forest.

Ripple listened to the whole thing and confirmed that the young man whose body she was using must have been betrayed by his companions. She estimated that these people looked down on him because of Lian's illegitimate son status, wanting to teach him a lesson, but they went too far and killed the young man directly.

After entering this body, the ripples discovered that the other party had a very high physical strength but a very weak soul. This made her instinctively enter this body through the portal. The young man was only fifteen years old. At this time, the weak soul in a corner had already become dim and would dissipate at any moment.

Ripple remembered what the stone mill had said. Her current body was borrowed, and once her mission was complete, she would have to return it. So subconsciously, she used her own soul to gather the other's soul light, preventing it from dissipating immediately.

She could feel these people bustling around her, carrying her quickly in the direction of a colder and darker place. Ripples remained unconscious, pretending to be dead.

She was merging with the body at the fastest speed possible, of course, indirectly nurturing the other's soul as well. She was ready to strike back at any moment. For such a vicious companion, she felt it was best to deal with the original owner as soon as possible, otherwise, it would only become more troublesome later on.

"Brother Heni, the edge of the Dark Forest is just ahead. Going any farther would be dangerous for us. Let's stop here"

A boy spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, draw a few bloodstains on him and lure the beast over!"

A boy named Heni said.

"Good!"

Several people were preparing to throw the boy down, but they discovered that Lian, who was already dead, was staring at them with her purple eyes.

"You"

Before the words "not dead" could leave his lips, the youth who had been holding onto Lian Ri's wrist felt a chill run down his neck. Then, blood gushed out, and he collapsed to the ground.

The ripples in her hand slashed across someone's neck, and before the blood splashed onto her, she kicked away the boy who was clutching at her ankle. She countered with a sword, piercing the boy who was grabbing her right arm. With her right arm free, she clenched her fist and slammed it into the chest of the boy named Henny. There was a crisp "crack" as his ribs shattered, the sound of the blade sinking into his heart painfully clear.

The last boy had long since let go of the ripple's foot and turned to run outside, he was utterly panicked.

Ripples waved his hand and shot the dagger in his hand, accurately inserting it into the opponent's heart. The opponent ran two steps before collapsing to the ground.

In just a couple of minutes, the ripples killed five people instantly. She then retracted her dagger and Lei Yao back into space. The bodies of the five were scattered around her, lifeless, with the smell of blood spreading outward. She also heard a strange beast roar, which was probably the monster they had been talking about.

Ripples thought the methods these young men provided for disposing of a body were excellent, and they could be used on themselves. She didn't hesitate; after determining her direction, she immediately left the outskirts of the Dark Forest.

Shortly after the ripples faded, a swarm of fist-sized black demon ants arrived at the scene, following the scent of fresh blood. In a short while, only five skeletons and tattered remnants of clothing remained on the ground.

After the ripples moved away from the dark forest, she walked for another hour towards Lava City and stopped by a small stream. She needed to get a grasp of this borrowed body and understand her current situation.

Staring at the reflection of the young man in the creek, Lian Ri blinked. The other person's pupils were an unusual violet-black, shimmering like a purple gem in the sunlight, unforgettable to behold.

The boy's face had an Eastern look to it. His eyebrows and eyes weren't sharp, but rather soft, yet with edges and angles, possessing a kind of ambiguous beauty that defied categorization as either male or female. His long, straight black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, looking neat and tidy.

The young man wore a deep purple robe with intricate dark patterns. A three-finger-wide golden belt adorned his waist, inlaid with red gemstones that echoed the hues of his robe. On the other side of his waist hung a sword. He sported black boots on his feet, light and breathable, clearly not something you'd find at a bargain price.

All in all, this young man, despite being the illegitimate child that people spoke of, was still doted on by his family. Just looking at his clothes, you could tell he was a child who had been pampered and raised with care. It's no wonder those other boys were jealous of him.

Ripples washed her face, then she crossed her legs on a stone and sent a wisp of her divine consciousness into the other's soul orb, beginning to search for the youth's identity.

The boy is the child of the Rhodeland family, one of the four great families in the Magic Continent. The hallmark of the Rhodeland family is their purple eyes. The boy's mother was the daughter of a small family from the East Land. Because of her stunning beauty, she caught the eye of the current head of the Rhodeland family and was taken as his wife.

Lily Rodman's mother was his second wife; the first wife had died before Rodman became head of the family, and he married his second wife afterward.

Mrs. Lian Si (si) actually already had a childhood sweetheart who was supposed to marry her, but unfortunately, due to Rhodesman's interference, the family, in pursuit of greater long-term benefits, broke up the two and happily married Lian Si into the Rhodesman family.

After getting married, Rodman learned that due to that incident, although he had gotten his beloved woman, she didn't love him at all, and even hated him. After their wedding night, she wouldn't allow Rodman to touch her again.the two families, she wouldn't have to coax her eldest daughter like this. Especially since the other party was taking advantage and acting smug now, it made her feel even more exasperated.Since she w...
