Chapter 385 - Chapter 385 Chapter 381 Playing with a Fool

Chapter 385: Chapter 381 Playing with a Fool Chapter 385: Chapter 381 Playing with a Fool At this moment, Fang Xiaocao’s heart died completely.

Originally, she had held onto a sliver of fantasy.

Hoping Su Wanqing had simply taken the wrong path,

That she could realize her mistake and find her way back.

That she, perhaps, might still forgive her…

At the very least, spare Su Wanqing’s life.

But now…

There was no need!

It was time to put an end to it all.

Money does sway the human heart! Under the lure of wealth, even kin might turn against each other, let alone best friends…

That was why Fang Xiaocao, having obtained so much money, had always been cautious not to flaunt her wealth.

She feared someone might be tempted by crooked thoughts.

Watching the stranger that was Su Wanqing across from her, Fang Xiaocao could hear the sound of her own heart shattering into pieces.

Crack crack–

The sound of a heart breaking.

The treasured relationship she had cherished had ultimately taken a twisted path, leading to hatred and enmity.

Fang Xiaocao had thought that, with her hatred towards Su Wanqing, she could face the situation calmly.

But at this moment, Fang Xiaocao realized she had overestimated herself.

Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on Su Wanqing, whose eyes were now filled with spiteful poison as she glared back.

The greed and obsession for money transformed Su Wanqing into a demon controlled by desire,

Completely devoid of reason,

Her heart filled only with unscrupulous greed for wealth.

Fang Xiaocao quietly took out the Blood Jade Ring, gripping it tightly in her hand to prevent a surprise attack.

The battle with Taotie was nearing its end; the Wild Men controlled by Su Wanqing were almost all slaughtered by Taotie, except for Ah Da.

But Ah Da was too tough; even wounded, Taotie, who had just exhausted a great deal of strength, was unable to triumph easily.

Yet the Wild Men no longer posed any threat to Fang Xiaocao, and if the lineup were to be considered, Fang Xiaocao’s side still had Brainless. If nothing unexpected happened, Fang Xiaocao felt sure of her victory.

“Su Wanqing, if you can stop now and earnestly reform, I can consider past grace and spare your life, ensuring you no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. But I will erase your memories, killing the future you, making you a person without a future.”

Fang Xiaocao quietly activated the Blood Jade Ring but didn’t strike immediately, still trying to give Su Wanqing a chance to repent.

“Hehe…” Su Wanqing let out a cold laugh.

“Han Xue was right; Fang Xiaocao, you’re just a sanctimonious fool. You deserve to be schemed against, deserve to be abandoned by everyone, deserve to die!”

Before her words had ended, Su Wanqing took action.

The Phoenix Gall on Su Wanqing’s forehead shimmered faintly, and the surrounding swarm of insects seemed to receive a command.

Buzz buzz buzz–

Among a chorus of buzzing, the swarm spiraled in the air and then descended upon Fang Xiaocao like a blanket.

“Ah…” Fang Xiaocao sighed.

“Stubborn to the end!”

Fang Xiaocao shook her head helplessly, an unprecedented expression of loss on her face.

Fang Xiaocao looked up at the approaching swarm, a look of indifference in her eyes, standing there as if frozen by fright or as if she had resigned herself to her fate, showing no intention of dodging.

Brainless panicked, calling out urgently “wooh wooh” while tugging at Fang Xiaocao’s hem and looking fearfully at the approaching swarm, his eyes filled with terror.

Seeing this, Su Wanqing laughed.

She laughed with great triumph.

It seemed she had already envisioned the delightful scene where Fang Xiaocao, devoured by her own Poisonous Insects, was reduced to a pile of dry bones.

Fang Xiaocao could tell that Brainless was genuinely terrified of these little bugs–even his fear was beginning to affect the mental seed Xiaocao had left in his mind.

Through the mental seed, Fang Xiaocao could feel Brainless’ inner fear clearly.

But even though he was so scared, Brainless did not turn around to escape alone.

Even when the swarm of insects was close enough and Fang Xiaocao showed no reaction, Brainless overcame his inner fears, gritted his teeth, stood in front of Xiaocao and the insect swarm, spread his arms wide, and used his tall stature to shield Fang Xiaocao behind him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao smiled.

She gently patted the shoulder of Brainless.

Reassuring him not to be nervous.

Originally, Fang Xiaocao had planned to pat Brainless on the head, but…

Brainless was too tall.

Even shamefully standing on tiptoe, Xiaocao couldn’t reach Brainless’ head…

Glancing at Su Wanqing, whose corners of her mouth were upturned more arrogantly than an AK could suppress, Fang Xiaocao scoffed with disdain and raised the Blood Jade Ring she had been preparing to use. Emitting a faint red glow, Xiaocao could sense invisible waves of energy radiating from the Blood Jade Ring, sweeping rapidly over the oncoming swarm of insects.

In the next second!

The tiny black Beetles, just like electric toys whose batteries had suddenly been removed.

Came to a halt before Fang Xiaocao.

Just like soldiers waiting for inspection.

Fang Xiaocao looked at Su Wanqing and gave a slight smile, “So this is your trump card? Doesn’t seem very effective, huh? Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?”

Su Wanqing was stunned.

She kept trying to activate the Phoenix Gall, commanding those motionless Poisonous Insects.

But no matter how hard she tried, the insects seemed to have their signals jammed, completely ignoring Su Wanqing’s commands.

Fang Xiaocao glanced sidelong at an anxious Su Wanqing, idly toying with the Blood Jade Ring in her hand.

Li Gui had met Li Kui, Liu’er the Six-Eared Macaque had met Monkey Brother–fake was always fake.

Before encountering the authentic Blood Jade Ring, the Phoenix Gall, a replica also from the future, was undoubtedly a divine artifact in this timeline, capable of bestowing ordinary people with magical abilities.

But when faced with the Blood Jade Ring, the fake was just fake, easily dominated by the Blood Jade Ring, and forcibly reverted to its true form.

“Why don’t you try something else?”

Fang Xiaocao suggested.

Su Wanqing’s eyes lit up, actually taking Fang Xiaocao’s suggestion, she pulled another jar from her bag and smashed it at her feet.

In an instant, slime splattered.

A toad the size of a fist appeared.

Su Wanqing pointed the Phoenix Gall at the toad.

The toad immediately began crawling toward Fang Xiaocao.

“Bulbasaur?”

“You’re not a Pokeball, either!”

Fang Xiaocao scoffed disdainfully.

She found toads utterly appalling.

Not letting the toad crawl a few steps further, Fang Xiaocao issued a command to the Blood Jade Ring.

The ring trembled slightly, the red light flickered.

The toad was immediately immobilized as if its battery had been removed.

Obediently staying in place.

“This doesn’t work either, huh!”

“Got anything else?”

Fang Xiaocao signaled Brainless to squat down, took out a comb, and began grooming his hair.

Su Wanqing was sweating with urgency, muttering, “Impossible,” continuously trying to use the Phoenix Gall to regain control of the toad, but no matter how hard she tried, the toad just lay there motionless, like it was out of batteries.

“You know, if you used this thing to hit me directly, it might still disgust me a bit.”

Xiaocao suggested, tossing away the broken comb in her hand–Brainless’ fur was too tough, matted with all sorts of grime, and the comb simply wouldn’t budge.
