"Eldest brother." Gu Jue's eyes were red like he had lost his soul as he looked at Gu Lang. Gu Hua Wei's death filled him with guilt towards this girl he had only known for a day, "I will never forgive myself."

He used the heart of a villain to guess at such a little girl.

The hidden pain in his heart also told him that the love for acting in the beginning was not fake. That girl might be cute and beautiful, but in his eyes, he could put up a show with her, but he definitely wouldn't let a girl like her escape with them!

They were rivals, a relationship that used each other to their advantage. Initially, their goodwill was only to make up for her guilt when she died, so what did a short alliance count for?

"She's dead." He lightly stated this fact. He would not let his two younger brothers be immersed in the calamity caused by a beauty, even if that was when he saw Gu Hua by the seaside. His master had personally praised her beauty.

"Shut up!" Gu Ming finally came back to his senses in a daze. Gu Jue didn't understand Gu Lang's schemes, but that didn't mean that Gu Ming didn't know either. Gu Ming knew this, but he had no choice.

It was only when he met the Taotie in the great hall and told her that he would protect her, that he discovered her faintly melting heart. He did not know how much effort a little girl had to endure to become so cold and detached, but he only knew that at that moment, he truly regretted it.

But, one was just a passerby they had just met, the other was a brother who had lived for so long, everyone knew who they should choose. But, one was just a passer-by they had just met, one was a brother who had lived for so long, everyone knew who they should choose. No one would be willing to die for another.

Except...

Except for that fool Gu Hua Wei.

How good their acting was to have fooled such a girl.

He had never thought that one day, he would also become someone like Gu Lang. The so-called chivalry and righteousness, the so-called noble and noble character, would all be shattered into pieces here. What exactly were they chasing after?

"The formation core has been opened." Gu Lang was the clearest. When he saw that more and more clouds had appeared in the sky, a smile finally appeared on his face. A huge whirlpool had appeared in the clouds, and Gu Lang fiercely used his spiritual energy to tie up Gu Jue's struggling figure, trying to jump down his sword.

At the moment when they knew the truth and no one was going to stop them, no matter how much regret they felt, it was all unnecessary because people were all selfish.

Gu Lang's heart trembled slightly when he saw Gu Ming laughing with a dull gaze behind him. A bad premonition made him not dare to stay any longer. He rode his sword and pierced through the vortex that had appeared out of nowhere.

The whirlpool within the clouds finally closed, and silence engulfed every corner of the area like a tidal wave.

In the dense forest, the wolf-faced beast finally swallowed his favorite prey. Its fierce eyes glanced at the closed clouds, then it looked around and realized that there was nothing left to eat. Finally, it burped with satisfaction and decided to return to its nest to have a good night's sleep.

The tattered city once again appeared in front of it, exactly the same as when it had eaten it. It walked into the tattered, almost unrecognizable building in the innermost area, with layers of bones piled up along the way, extending all the way from the entrance of the hall to the innermost area. In the dark, cold library, a bloody smell wafted in the air, and the Taotie took a deep breath, then lowered its head and licked the blood on the floor that had not dried yet.

Its long tongue twisted and turned, heading towards the place where the head was in pain. Its tongue was flexible and fluid, and almost instantaneously, it found the location of the pain. Just as it was about to lick it, a sharp pain came from the tip of its tongue.

The Taotie let out a vague scream and shook its head with all its might. Its pair of sharp eyes were almost bloodshot. The anger from losing its tongue caused it to continuously smash its head into the ground, as if it wanted to knock out the thing inside its head!

A white light streaked across the darkness, cutting through fat breasts. Listening to the screams getting louder and heavier, the beautiful little girl finally broke into a smile, stabilizing her swaying body along with the Taotie, nimbly waving the dagger in her hand, until the beast was no longer able to move!

Using a sharp dagger to cut open the head of a ferocious beast like an executioner, at this moment, no matter how strong the species was, they were all dead.

Taotie is not to kill, but to see if you can put death on the ground and kill it!

The little girl in a purple and white lilac dress came out from the dying Taotie's head. Her bright eyes were like warm peach blossoms blooming in the cold night, and a heart-piercing coldness was deep within her eyes.

The Taotie was completely unrecognizable as it fell to the ground. It was no longer as vicious as before, and its huge head was completely chopped off, even its blind eyes were not spared. Blood was flowing out of its head like a small stream, and not long after, the entire library was soaked in it.

Jumping out from the Taotie's head, standing on the ground that was considered to be a pool of blood, she used her foot to kick the motionless Taotie and found that it was already completely dead. Only then did the little girl suddenly heave a sigh of relief, smiling as she looked at the blood that was seeping down from the ground.

This person was none other than Gu Lang and the other two, who thought Gu Hua Wei was already dead!

Gu Hua narrowed her eyes as she looked outside the main hall. Had they really abandoned her and run away?

From the start, she had always been wary of these familiar youths. Even though they all had pure and honest appearances, if they acted out too much, it would cause others to die, alright?

They can act, can't she?

Gu Lang's goodwill from the start had already made her suspicious, although she could be considered a little beauty, she did not have the protection of Gu Qingcheng's main halo and knew himself well. If her appearance could attract the attention of a beautiful young man, causing them to die for her, she would even wake up laughing in her dreams.

However, the author was her stepmother. How could she believe that she had such a fascinating attribute?
