Chapter 151 Violent Factor

When Shen Qingyao mentioned Xia Ran, Ruan Hongshuang's previously anxious heart calmed down a little.

Although she wasn't entirely clear about the true extent of her master's abilities, over the years, no matter how difficult the situation, it seemed there was never a time when her master couldn't handle it.

Therefore, thinking about this, Ruan Hongshuang felt a little more confident in handling Shen Qingyao's troublesome matter.

On the other hand, Si Jingnian had also dealt with Xia Ran before, and he knew that her abilities were not to be underestimated. In fact, deep down, he quite recognized her capabilities.

However, since Shen Qingyao's life was at stake, even knowing that Xia Ran might be able to help, Si Jingnian still couldn't help but worry and repeatedly consider all possible scenarios.

Just then, Shen Qingyao shouted:

"Alright! Everyone, stop overthinking. Our top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible. What's the point of worrying about that broken bead in my stomach if we can't even get out of this ancient tomb?"

After saying that, Shen Qingyao stood up nimbly and gently hugged Long Jiaojiao in her arms.

Seeing Shen Qingyao carrying Long Jiaojiao and walking quickly towards the exit, Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang, despite their worries, had no choice but to suppress their emotions and hurry up to follow her.

Before long, the group arrived at the exit. However, all they saw was darkness, as if an endless abyss was opening its jaws to await them.

But Shen Qingyao did not hesitate at all. She resolutely lifted her foot and stepped into the terrifying darkness.

After exchanging a glance, Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang followed closely behind Shen Qingyao without hesitation, resolutely stepping into the endless darkness.

The three of them carefully made their way through the long, dark corridor, where all around was so quiet that the only sounds they could hear were their own faint footsteps and breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally returned to Princess Hengyang's tomb.

As soon as they stepped into the tomb, a sudden burst of light illuminated the surroundings, a stark contrast to the pitch-black corridor they had just passed through.

Princess Hengyang sat steadily atop her stone coffin, her cold and mocking gaze fixed on Shen Qingyao and the others like a venomous snake.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang dared not relax in the slightest. The two quickly became vigilant, gripping their copper coin swords tightly and adopting a defensive posture ready to fight at any time.

Princess Hengyang clearly hadn't expected that Shen Qingyao and the others would actually manage to walk out of that perilous forest alive, and her previously dismissive gaze now held a hint of seriousness.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking the people in front of her up and down, as if trying to see what hardships they had gone through to survive.

"Hmph, I really didn't expect that you little ants would actually come back alive!"

Princess Hengyang's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, extremely cold and sinister, and contained a strong killing intent.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's heart jolted, and an inexplicable anger surged within her.

You see, she was already seething with anger because she had been controlled and unconsciously swallowed that mysterious bead. Now, Princess Hengyang's provocative words undoubtedly became the fuse that ignited the flames of anger in her heart.

"Princess Hengyang, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we're all still alive and well, aren't you angry?"

Shen Qingyao's eyes, which were originally clear as water, were now filled with displeasure as she stared intently at Princess Hengyang not far away, as if trying to see through her.

Deep within her heart, an uncontrollable impulse was gradually spreading, like water bursting its banks, unstoppable.

Thinking about how she had just inexplicably swallowed that broken bead that she didn't even know what it was, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

So be it. Since things have come to this, we're all going to die anyway. If we can fight to the death with this despicable Princess Hengyang, it won't be such a bad deal.

Shen Qingyao used to be somewhat wary of Princess Hengyang.

After all, the other party was powerful, and they were on someone else's home turf, so she always carefully avoided them and tried to avoid direct conflict.

However, at this moment, Shen Qingyao's aura suddenly changed.

She straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of provocation.

The feeling was like that of an enraged lion cub, baring its teeth and claws, ready to pounce on its enemy.

Princess Hengyang naturally noticed the huge change in Shen Qingyao's attitude towards her immediately, and her delicate face was instantly covered with frost.

She frowned in displeasure and sneered, "Hmph! You ignorant brat, how dare you be so rude! I think you're tired of living, and you'll pay a heavy price for your foolish behavior sooner or later!"

Surprisingly, after hearing Princess Hengyang's stern warning, Shen Qingyao showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she felt a strange sense of excitement.

This excitement came so suddenly that she was somewhat surprised.

Just then, Shen Qingyao felt a strong disturbance coming from inside her body.

In an instant, her heart began to pound violently like a drum, and her blood seemed to boil.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented surge of violent emotion welled up in her heart, as if countless violent elements were surging wildly within her, ready to break free and erupt at any moment...

Shen Qingyao frowned slightly, a strange feeling rising in her heart that was hard to describe. She keenly sensed the abnormality in her own state, a change that made her involuntarily wary, and her expression became more solemn.

The mysterious bead emitted a chilling light, and the power it contained seemed to be beyond imagination.

It was like an invisible vortex, deeply attracting Shen Qingyao.

Even more strangely, this bead could easily stir up the fighting spirit hidden deep within her heart, causing her originally calm heart to surge with turbulent waves.

At this moment, Shen Qingyao showed no fear of the upcoming battle; on the contrary, she revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation.

She clenched her fists, staring intently ahead, her blood boiling, like a beast awakened, eager to show its fangs.

On the other side, Princess Hengyang stared wide-eyed at Shen Qingyao in disbelief.

She never expected that the woman who had once been wary of her would undergo such a dramatic change.

Shen Qingyao stared at her with a face full of excitement, her eyes revealing a fervor and determination that pierced Princess Hengyang's heart like a sharp sword.

Shen Qingyao's blatant provocation was undoubtedly a public challenge to Princess Hengyang's authority and bottom line.

How could Princess Hengyang, who was always arrogant and proud, tolerate this?

She felt a surge of anger rise from her chest and quickly spread throughout her body, her fair face turning bright red with rage.
