Free Web NovelLiu Jiayi recognized the voices of Miao Gaojiang and Miao Feichi.
She was not an offensive-type player, and her healing skills were currently sealed. Facing League players like Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, who had already unlocked S-rank, fighting two against one was no different from courting death.
Normally, given Liu Jiayi’s style, she would have used an item to flash away long ago.
But now—
She glanced back at Liu Huai, who had lost both arms.
This timing was too unfortunate.
She did not know who had told Liu Huai that she was the Little Witch, but judging by his current expression and state, it was impossible for him to leave with her.
She could only face them head-on.
Liu Jiayi could not help cursing “fuck their fathers” under her breath. She took a deep breath and stood in front of Liu Huai.
“Stay behind me and don’t come out!” Liu Jiayi stretched out an arm to block Liu Huai, shouting sternly.
With a flick of both hands, a bottle of black magic medicine emitting a thick, pungent mist appeared in her grasp.
A set of pure black gauze robes wound upward from her slender, snow-white ankles. In an instant, she transformed from Liu Jiayi, the weak-looking little sister, into the Little Witch whose Little TV charging points had reached 370,000 in a bidding war—the Little Witch all the major guilds were scrambling to claim.
Seeing Liu Jiayi dressed like this, Miao Feichi, who had been attacking, was startled. The downward swing of his twin blades hesitated slightly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
“Little Witch?!”
Miao Gaojiang also narrowed his eyes.
Back then, the Carrion Guild had also overestimated itself and participated in the bidding for this Nightmare Rising Star’s Little TV, but they had quickly been outbid by the other, far more extravagant major guilds.
He finally remembered where the sense of familiarity from that cloth doll had come from.
Miao Gaojiang looked at the ugly, looming cloth doll hanging outside the black gauze at Liu Jiayi’s waist.
This was something the Little Witch brought into every game she played.
Liu Huai fell silent as he witnessed the scene.
Knowing she had been completely exposed, Liu Jiayi’s back stiffened. But she quickly did her best to calm herself down.
She turned her head and instructed Liu Huai, “When the fight starts, find a chance to run.”
What she had originally wanted to say was: Ge, just run. Don’t worry about whether I live or die.
But Liu Jiayi opened her mouth, and in the end, she did not say those sentimental words.
Instead, she turned and charged at Miao Feichi without hesitation.
Under her veil, Liu Jiayi’s expression was terrifyingly calm. Her thin fingers gripped the poison bottle so tightly they turned white.
From beneath the black veil, mist steamed out of the medicine. The pitch-black, writhing smoke resembled a giant anaconda with its mouth wide open, twisting savagely as it swallowed Liu Jiayi from head to toe. Then it scattered across the ground into a mass of sticky black vapor, hiding Liu Jiayi within.

[Confirm]
The moment that spine-chilling poisonous mist spread, Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang instinctively covered their mouths and noses with their arms.
Black, heavy smoke filled the area. The player hidden inside it could not be seen at all.
“Little Witch, we’re giving you face and don’t want to touch you,” Miao Feichi said through gritted teeth. “But everyone is in the Support Season. Liu Huai went too far. If we don’t kill him, we won’t be able to answer to our fans. Let’s be considerate of each other.”
“Touching him means touching me.”
Liu Jiayi’s voice came coldly from every direction.
“You child-eating idiots, stop bullshitting. If you have the ability, then come at me with your dad.”
“I hate people who bring their dads to a fight the most.”
“Let’s see whether your dad dies first, or whether you manage to touch a single hair on my Ge’s head first.”
The smoke retracted, wrapping itself around the Miao father and son and Liu Jiayi.
Standing outside the smoke, Liu Huai stared blankly at the boiling mass, unable to tell what was being slaughtered inside.
Something inside the mist shoved him, and Liu Jiayi placed several things into his arms. Her voice was completely devoid of emotion.
“Take the items and blood I gave you and go to the hospital! Don’t look back!”
Pressed against Liu Huai’s chest were two warm blood bags and a rotating magic cube. Beside them floated an explanation:
[Supernatural Item: Magic Space]
As if afraid Liu Huai would make a mistake, she had even written names on the blood bags.
One was Miao Feichi’s.
The other was Liu Jiayi’s.
Inside the black mist, Liu Jiayi clutched her right arm, which was covered in needle marks. She looked around warily. Her face was pale and weak, but her expression was cold and ferocious.
Liu Jiayi had been poisoned by the mushrooms that afternoon. After hearing that Liu Huai’s health points had dropped to only 1, she had forcibly drawn a large amount of her own blood to reserve for Liu Huai.
Although she had used her healing skill once to stabilize her bloodline, she had immediately been forced to fight these two League players.
Even for Liu Jiayi, a powerful sense of exhausted helplessness now pressed down on her.
She was already used to Liu Huai’s betrayal and abandonment. She had adapted well, and very quickly processed the fact that Liu Huai suspected her, standing up once again to fight for him.
But just as she was used to Liu Huai’s betrayal, Liu Jiayi had also, throughout her long childhood, become accustomed to encountering any violent danger with one instinctive reaction:
standing in front of Liu Huai to protect him.
This brother, who was so much older than her, had been someone she protected since childhood.
It was as though, as long as she stopped paying attention for even a moment, he would die pathetically. He was so easily deceived, so stupid, as though he had no ability to protect himself at all.
Liu Jiayi had been forced to mature prematurely inside Liu Huai’s cowardice.
Before she even knew that an older brother should protect his younger sister, she had already become completely accustomed to the younger sister bearing and solving everything for her older brother.
Liu Jiayi lowered the hand covering her wound, her gaze sharp as she walked toward the center of the black mist circle.
With every step she took, the mist condensed further inward.
Standing in the center of the black mist, Miao Gaojiang’s forehead bulged with veins from inhaling too much of it. He threw a punch and finally snapped, unable to endure any longer.
“Little Witch, I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant as to come here and die. Feichi, go!”
Miao Feichi lunged forward, circling within Liu Jiayi’s black mist.
Holding his twin blades, he searched for Liu Jiayi’s figure. Blade light flickered faintly in the darkness. He laughed cruelly and swung his twin blades down hard.
“Found you, Little Witch.”
Liu Jiayi’s face was white as paper.
She used the glass bottle containing the poison to block Miao Feichi’s strike, gritting her teeth as she splashed the poison at him.
At the same time, she noticed that Miao Gaojiang was about to break out of the mist.
Liu Jiayi sprinted across the ground, lowering her body to block him with poison in the very second before he could step out.
“Everyone stays here!” Liu Jiayi roared through gritted teeth. “No one is allowed to take even one step out of this place to chase him!”
The poison corroded into an even more hideous black snake of smoke along the ground.
Liu Jiayi’s chest heaved violently. Blood faintly stained the corners of her mouth beneath the black veil.
Mu Ke stepped forward to pull the dazed Liu Huai, shouting, “What are you standing there for?! Liu Jiayi is holding off Miao Feichi and the other one for us! Hurry over and open the church door so we can escape through the tunnel!”
Bai Liu also came over to help open the door.
However, Xiao Miao Gaojiang inside had not only locked the door, but was also constantly blocking it with chairs and benches.
Even though Bai Liu had already picked the lock, the bolt inside was being held firmly in place. Mu Ke was so anxious his eyes reddened as he strained to push the door, but Xiao Miao Gaojiang had nearly emptied the entire church to barricade it.
“I can’t push it open!” Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu in despair. “I checked the side door too. It’s blocked from the inside as well.”
Behind them, the sounds of metal and blade tips scraping against each other inside the black mist made their scalps tingle.
Several times, Mu Ke saw one of Miao Gaojiang’s or Miao Feichi’s feet step out of the mist, only for Liu Jiayi to forcibly drag them back in.
But it was obvious that, in a two-on-one fight, Liu Jiayi could not hold out much longer.
They had no time to slowly force the door open.
“What do we do, Bai Liu?” Mu Ke’s voice was tense.
“Besides the blood, Liu Jiayi gave you this, didn’t she?”
Bai Liu’s gaze fell on the rotating magic cube and the two bags of blood against Liu Huai’s chest.
“With how protective she is of you, she would have arranged every escape route for you. Can you let me try whether this thing can open the door?”
Liu Huai’s gaze was already somewhat vacant.
He nodded silently.
Bai Liu took the magic cube.
[System Hint: Supernatural Item: Magic Space. Can manipulate any space.]
Bai Liu raised the magic cube toward the church door.
Just as he was about to say “open,” a whirling curved blade flew out from the black mist, aiming straight for Bai Liu’s neck.
Mu Ke panicked and shoved Bai Liu away. The blade sliced off several strands of Bai Liu’s hair.
Bai Liu’s gaze sharpened as he looked back.
The black mist had dissipated.
A blood-covered Liu Jiayi was being stepped on the head by Miao Feichi. Beside her curled-up body lay the empty poison bottle. Her breathing was so weak it was almost nonexistent.
The smile on Miao Feichi’s face was twisted and triumphant. He swung his blade down ruthlessly.
“I haven’t even started my killing spree in this dungeon yet. Let’s see which one of you can escape!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Liu continued using the magic cube to open the door.
The church door slowly swung open.
Miao Gaojiang’s and Miao Feichi’s expressions both changed.
Bai Liu was going to escape through the church!
The two of them lifted their feet to chase after Bai Liu.
But after taking only one step, they stopped.
The dying Liu Jiayi opened her dull gray eyes and bit down fiercely on Miao Feichi’s trouser leg, refusing to let go.
Her dirt-covered hand stretched forward again, grabbing for the poison bottle.
Black mist surged up once more from the medicine bottle beside her, enveloping the two of them.
[System Warning: Player Liu Jiayi’s mental value has dropped below 20 due to item usage! Entering Panel Burst state! “Poison Fountain” skill duration extended!]
“Fuck!”
Seeing Mu Ke and the others about to successfully escape with Liu Huai, Miao Feichi finally snapped. freewebnσvel.cøm
He had originally intended to keep Liu Jiayi alive so he could take her blood later, but he had not expected this little brat to refuse the easy way out so stubbornly.
He swung his blade and stabbed it straight through Liu Jiayi’s palm.
Liu Jiayi cried out in pain, finally loosening her bite on # Nоvеlight # his trouser leg.
“I’m going to kill you right now, you little brat!!” Miao Feichi roared, viciously stabbing his blade down.
Miao Feichi’s distorted, savage face gradually overlapped with the face of the man in Liu Jiayi’s memory.
The man who liked to slap her and call her a little brat.
She blinked slowly.
A bead of blood dripped from her eyelashes onto her dirty face.
She was always like this.
Unpresentable.
A fish in the mud that could never be brought to the surface.
She had been born this way, and it seemed she would die this way too.
Liu Jiayi watched the armless figure run into the church.
That was Liu Huai.
Liu Huai had left.
Suddenly, she felt a strange, trance-like sense of stability.
Ge had once again escaped from the bad people who wanted to hit them.
Even though he had abandoned her again, she no longer had anything to be sad about.
Because that was her Gege.
She had accepted him long ago.
She was only afraid of losing him too soon, so she had done too many things that were not quite right.
Liu Jiayi slowly closed her eyes.
A single tear fell.
I really want to keep being your meimei, Gege.
