I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

A gentle smile appeared on He Ronger's lips, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm but not dazzling.

She paced lightly around the other person, neither fast nor slow, like an elf moving through the woods, each step revealing elegance and composure.

His eyes moved around the other person, sometimes gazing into his eyes, sometimes glancing across his clothes, as if he was silently savoring every detail of the other person, and as if he was looking for some unsolved answers.

"I reiterate that my purpose is simple and direct. I just want to ask you a few questions." Her voice was soft but firm, with a hint of comfort that was barely noticeable. "Please rest assured that your answers will only stay with me. I promise that I will not cause you any harm."

However, behind these seemingly sincere words, He Ronger secretly thought in her heart: "I really have no intention of hurting you, but I won't, but I can't guarantee that others won't."

She glanced at the other people with a faint smile on her lips.

The man in dark green clothes had a stern face and his brows were furrowed as if water could be squeezed out of him.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, quickly sweeping across the faces of Zou Mubai, Fei Xiuwen and several people around them. Every look revealed vigilance and indomitable spirit.

Finally, he snorted coldly, his voice low and powerful: "I have already seen through your thoughts. Regarding Si Yao's whereabouts, that is my last bottom line, I will not reveal a single thing to anyone!"

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

When Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, instantly illuminating their hearts.

They knew that hearing the word "Si Yao" directly from the other party was a great breakthrough, which meant that they were one step closer to the truth. The fire of hope burned in their hearts, dispelling the previous haze and uncertainty.

At this moment, He Ronger had a mysterious smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.

She did not rush to put pressure on him, but slowly took out an exquisite little wooden box from her arms with an almost enjoyable attitude.

The movement was graceful and calm, as if displaying a rare treasure.

As the wooden box was opened, a strange scent quietly spread, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Inside the wooden box, there lay quietly a bug that was so red that it was almost black. Its fat body was wriggling slowly, and every wriggling seemed to release some ominous power.

Although this insect is small, it exudes a heart-pounding aura, as if it can see into people's hearts and control life and death.

As soon as Xu Chong's eyes met the insect, his face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

The dark memory of being tortured by drug-sucking insects came flooding back like a tide, almost suffocating him.

He tried to speak to stop her, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. He just used a frightened look to signal He Ronger not to act rashly.

However, He Ronger seemed unaware of the tense atmosphere around her. She still maintained that smile and walked step by step towards the man in dark green clothes with the wooden box in her hand.

Every step she took seemed so calm and unhurried, yet chilling.

"You can rest assured," He Rong'er's voice was gentle but firm. She stroked the edge of the wooden box and looked directly at the man. "My poisonous insect has been carefully trained. It will do whatever I tell it to do and will never go beyond my control. For example, if I tell it to leave a mark on you, it will never go to the trouble of harming your life."

Her words revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if this poisonous insect was a sharp sword in her hand, ready to pierce the enemy's heart at any time.

After hearing this, the man's expression became complicated, with fear of the unknown and fear of He Ronger's methods.

He was confident that he could deal with Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen, but he was deeply wary of this little girl.

This girl has so many tricks up her sleeve, and they are all unexpected.

For example, the blasting talisman she had used on her just now, although it would not threaten his life, it caused great damage to his mental strength, making his life worse than death.

Fortunately, these people's attention was on Ying Qi just now, so they did not take advantage of him while he was struggling in pain to deal with him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Zou Mubai, Fei Xiuwen and others looked at each other in bewilderment, secretly thanking their lucky stars that they had not become the test subjects of this poisonous insect.

They knew He Ronger's methods well, and also understood the threat hidden behind this poisonous insect.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into an eerie silence. Only the blackish red insect was still slowly wriggling in the wooden box, as if silently announcing its existence and power.

Ying Qi slowly came back to his senses from his shock, his eyes fixed on He Ronger.

The innocence and gentleness that the junior sister once had seemed to have been replaced by an invisible layer of toughness and courage.

A hint of fear could not help but flash across his eyes, a reverence for the unknown power and disbelief at the huge change in his junior sister.

"Junior sister...how did she become like this..." Ying Qi murmured secretly in his heart, those fragments of memory about his junior sister flashing through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

In the past, she was always smiling and gentle, as if all the good things in the world were concentrated in her.

But now, He Ronger standing in front of him seemed to be reborn. Every movement and every word she made revealed majesty and wisdom that should not be underestimated.

However, this fear was soon replaced by another emotion - a heartfelt relief and pride.

Ying Qi recalled the tragedy that happened a thousand years ago, when his junior sister was framed and died with hatred in her heart. That scene still makes him heartbroken.

But now, seeing his junior sister appear in front of him in such a brand new attitude, he realized that such a change might be exactly what she had to go through in order to protect herself and to survive in this world full of intrigues.

"A little junior sister like this is more reassuring." Ying Qi thought silently in his heart, "She is no longer the little girl who needs protection. She has her own strength, her own means, and the ability to protect herself and others. Only in this way can she go further and stand higher in this world where the strong are respected."

Thinking of this, Ying Qi's eyes became gentle and firm, and his gaze towards He Ronger was full of trust and support.

Before Ying Qi could come to his senses, a roar came to his ears.

"Ah! Just kill me, I won't say anything!"

Following the sound, he saw He Ronger standing in front of the man holding a wooden box. The poisonous insects in the box had already crawled out of the box and were drilling into the man's neck. The man's skin had begun to change color wherever it passed.
