The young man roared in grief and anger, then mustered all his strength and charged at Zhou Ke'er with his knife.
Unexpectedly, at that moment... the section of wall Zhou Ke'er was pressing on with her left hand suddenly dented, as if some mechanism had been triggered. Immediately afterwards, a sickeningly loud creaking sound of gears shifting filled the air, followed by...
"Shhhhhhh!"
A dense barrage of arrows suddenly shot out from the wall beside him, riddling the unsuspecting young man with holes. Normally, such a small trap would be a piece of cake for cultivators above the Golden Core stage, but this young man had just used something similar to a forbidden technique, and his physical condition was in terrible shape, only slightly better than Zhou Ke'er, whose cultivation had been completely destroyed. Naturally, he could not escape these extremely fast arrows.
"Wow... Could it be that Lan Yanran in this module has a strong luck trait? Or is there something protecting her in the dark?"
Zhou Ke'er was also startled by this sudden situation and couldn't help but smack her lips.
"...What a clever move to feign weakness and then plot a sneak attack. No wonder she's Lan Yanran, so cunning and treacherous."
Before Zhou Ke'er could catch her breath, a cold and calm voice came from not far ahead.
Zhou Ke'er subconsciously looked over there and saw a handsome, otherworldly-looking, expressionless, and aloof white-haired man standing with his sword in his arms. He was dressed in a plain white robe, which made him appear even more indifferent.
It seems that he had been watching the show ever since the young man chased after Zhou Ke'er.
Despite its appearance, it seems to be a Good Order, but in reality, it is actually a Chaotic Neutral.
Zhou Ke'er's lips twitched slightly, and she asked in a very certain tone, "You're not here to kill me, are you?"
"Of course not. There's no grudge between us, so I have no reason to kill you. However, I am a little curious... how can you be so sure I won't kill you?"
The man in white shook his head and replied, "But I thought you were going to ask me if I came to kill you."
"Heh, I'm quite confident in my ability to make enemies. If you had a grudge against me and wanted to kill me, you definitely wouldn't have just stood there watching from the sidelines."
Zhou Ke'er looked smug and confident, and replied with certainty, "Even if we take a step back and say that you just wanted to monopolize the time to torture me to pieces, you should have taken action when that guy was shot to death. You wouldn't be talking to me so leisurely now."
"...You seem quite pleased with yourself."
The man in white robes looked Zhou Ke'er up and down with an expression that suggested he was getting to know her all over again.
"By the way, who are you?"
Zhou Ke'er, acting as if they were old friends, darted to the white-robed man's side, completely ignoring his previous words, and asked with a grin.
Just kidding, in this situation where almost everyone is an enemy, it's not uncommon for someone to appear who isn't hostile towards him and who seems to have a high-class demeanor... So why not cling to him now?!
No matter what, you have to hold on to him tightly!
## Chapter 383, Section 378: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Part Two)
"None will not return."
The man in white robes wasn't surprised that Zhou Ke'er didn't recognize him—after all, it was already clear from her behavior when they first met.
Zhou Ke'er narrowed her eyes. This guy only gave his name, but not his identity? That makes sense... There's no reason for him to reveal his background to a complete stranger like Zhou Ke'er. Maybe even his name is fake.
"Alright, now that we know each other's names, that means we're friends! In that case, I'll leave the task of protecting me to you!"
Putting all that aside for the moment, the shameless Zhou Ke'er seized the opportunity and chimed in without hesitation, looking completely at ease.
"...I naturally have no objection, but unfortunately...it seems you won't have that chance."
Mo Bugui stared at Zhou Ke'er for a while, then shook his head and said regretfully in a flat tone.
"???"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er was instinctively startled. There was no other reason than that Mo Bugui's words sounded too much like he intended to harm Zhou Ke'er.
But before he could react, a burst of light suddenly flashed within a half-meter radius of Zhou Ke'er, and complex incantations flashed within the light.
Mo Bugui's voice, still devoid of any emotion, finally came through slowly: "You just deliberately came up to me, stood quietly on the activation mechanism of the teleportation array, and pretended to be nonchalant while talking to me with this kind of nonsense to buy time... Such a clumsy attempt to deceive people doesn't seem like something you would do. Is it because you were seriously injured that you've lost your composure?"
"???"
Three question marks appeared above Zhou Ke'er's head. Before he could ask what was going on, the light around him suddenly flashed violently, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot and was teleported to another location in the inheritance land.
What did that guy just say? There was a teleportation array right next to him? And Zhou Ke'er, who had moved closer, just happened to be standing on that thing, triggering the teleportation function??
How the hell would Zhou Ke'er know about this?! He genuinely wanted to curry favor with that guy! What good would it do for him to run away now?
"boom!"
Just as Zhou Ke'er was still ranting and raving, a loud noise came from ahead.
Zhou Ke'er subconsciously looked over there and saw two men dressed in the same sect's attire fighting. One of them seemed to have been hit hard and sent flying, crashing to the ground nearby.
"Chen Yulu! You can't escape now, can you?! A mere lowly outer disciple, you've had a stroke of luck to be chosen by Senior Sister Lan Yingying, who gave you this opportunity to enter the Inheritance Grounds... Hmph, I don't know what you did, I think you're a toad trying to eat swan meat, overestimating yourself!"
The man who had attacked roared, his voice filled with resentment, jealousy, and arrogance, "Too bad for you, you've met me here! In the Land of Inheritance, life and death are indiscriminate, so you might as well die here! Trash should stay in the trash can!"
"Hey, if that's the case, then aren't you in the trash can right now? How come some people like to insult themselves?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out a sarcastic remark without hesitation.
"Who is it?!"
The atmosphere fell silent for two seconds. Then, the two men subconsciously looked at Zhou Ke'er, especially the man who had made the move. His tone was cold and his eyes were fierce, making him look exactly like a villain.
"I'm just a passerby playing cards. You guys continue, I'll just watch and won't bother you."
Zhou Ke'er waved her hand in reply.
"Where did this crazy woman come from... Since you've caught us, you might as well die!"
The man, as if he had cerebral palsy, shouted out the lines of a villainous extra, as if he had been given a halo of intellectual impairment, and suddenly charged towards Zhou Ke'er.
Another man named Chen Yulu, however, looked at Zhou Ke'er with a strange expression, as if he recognized her.
Zhou Ke'er noticed this scene, but she completely ignored the guy rushing over and asked Chen Yulu, "Hey, you seem to know me? Let me think... Do I have a grudge against you? Did I break off your engagement? Or kill your whole family? Or steal your opportunity? I've tricked too many people, I can't remember if you're one of them."
As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er activated the Death Fang special effect, instantly teleporting behind another man and delivering a righteous backstab, chilling him to the bone.
"Cough cough...no...no..."
Chen Yulu looked surprised and at a loss, and couldn't help but cough up a few mouthfuls of blood. He quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "I just... I just heard Senior Sister Lan Yingying talk about you. I saw you once by chance in a faraway place before... You are Lan Mo... ah no, Lan Yanran... senior, right?"
The man who was stabbed in the back by Zhou Ke'er without warning never knew why his protective robes and life-saving magic items had no effect, and why Zhou Ke'er had so easily stabbed his heart.
After all, the Death Fang's special effect ignores defense. But it seems... it only works on these kinds of villainous cannon fodder. If it were to attack Mo Bugui from before... Zhou Ke'er's speed wouldn't allow her to stab him in time. Although the effect description says "guaranteed hit,"... if the opponent turns around and cuts off Zhou Ke'er's arm, but the arm still manages to stab the opponent with the Death Fang due to inertia... then that counts as a hit!
"That's right, that's right, I am your senior, Lan."
Zhou Ke'er pulled out the Death Fang, casually wiped it on another man's body, and then put it away. She then nonchalantly tossed the man's lifeless body aside, flashing a wide smile at Chen Yulu, making him shudder. "What's wrong? It looks like you two had a little argument? Well, I can't stand guys who bully others and are cowards, so I accidentally stabbed him to death... You don't mind, do you?"
"No, no, no, I have absolutely no objection!"
Chen Yulu shook his head frantically—you know, according to rumors, Lan Yanran is a bullying, arrogant, treacherous, wicked, and capricious devil who is also very good at hiding herself. Before her bad deeds were exposed, everyone thought she was a good person... Just thinking about such a person makes people's hearts tremble.
And she had just killed someone, so she didn't seem to care at all, as if it were just a speck of dust flicked off her clothes. She even turned around and spoke to him with a smile...
This unpredictable personality is on full display!
This person... is terrifying!
Chen Yulu didn't want to die! He had no choice but to play along with this female demon for the time being.
"Hey, that's great! Oh, by the way, now that you know me, and I know your name now, we're friends, right? In that case, let's work together from here on out!"
Then Zhou Ke'er repeated those shameless words again.
## Chapter 384, 379. The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Part 3)
"Huh? Huh??"
Chen Yulu was momentarily stunned. After all... Lan Yanran, such a cunning and treacherous female demon, didn't seem like the type to say such things!
"You don't want to? Do you... think I'm not good enough to be your friend?"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Ke'er instantly put on a hurt, tearful expression, looking pitifully at Chen Yulu.
Of course, this expression, combined with the bloodstains on his hands that he hadn't had time to shake off, looked quite incongruous.
However... to be honest, Zhou Ke'er didn't understand why the other party was afraid of him. He was afraid that Chen Yulu might attack him at the slightest provocation. After all, his cultivation was now completely destroyed, and since Chen Yulu had entered this inheritance ground, he was at least a Golden Core cultivator. How could he not sense Zhou Ke'er's cultivation level?
You have to understand, if it weren't for the Death Fang's "ignore defense" effect, even if the guy Zhou Ke'er stabbed to death wasn't wearing anything and was just relying on his physical body to defend himself... Zhou Ke'er wouldn't have been able to break through his defenses. The difference in cultivation level is too great.
I wonder what's going on with Chen Yulu. Could it be that he's also feigning weakness while secretly plotting something?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but narrow her eyes secretly.
"No, no, no, this junior wouldn't dare! Since Senior Lan wishes to travel with me, how could I refuse? It's just that my strength is too weak, and I'm worried that I might become a burden to you and hinder your plans!"
Seeing Zhou Ke'er's behavior, Chen Yulu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body and frantically waved his hands in denial.
Are you kidding me? Lan Yanran lost all her cultivation? This happened just before Lan Yanran entered the Inheritance Grounds, and Chen Yulu was already inside the Inheritance Grounds at that time. How could he possibly know about this confirmed incident? So, even if he noticed the abnormality in Zhou Ke'er's cultivation, he only thought that it was a facade that Zhou Ke'er was putting on to cover up or for some secret plan.
"How could that be?! Young friend Chen, you must not belittle yourself or use inappropriate analogies to obstruct the path of loyal advice!"
Zhou Ke'er patted Chen Yulu on the shoulder with an air of maturity and said, "You have to believe in your own abilities. You're a friend (or tool) that even I acknowledge!"
Chen Yulu shuddered at the strange smile on Zhou Ke'er's face, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Thank you so much for your kindness, senior. I am truly unworthy of it!"
"Hey... I really don't understand you, why are you so afraid of me? I'm not some demon... no, I'm not some monster, I'm not going to eat you..."
Zhou Ke'er looked at the trembling Chen Yulu. Although it was indeed quite interesting to intimidate others and mess with their mentality, if it wasn't because of Zhou Ke'er's own actions, but because of the inherent effect of this identity... then it wouldn't be very fulfilling!
"Besides, I was also chased all the way here and fled in a sorry state. I'm no different from a drowning dog like you. We're all the same kind of people, so what are you afraid of?"
Then, Zhou Ke'er reached out and patted Chen Yulu's shoulder—although he instinctively dodged away because of the startled look on his face—Zhou Ke'er still maintained a smiling expression and added in a very hurtful way.
"Same kind my foot!"
Although Chen Yulu outwardly maintained a submissive and forced smile, his inner thoughts were completely opposite to his expression. But what could he do about his inner turmoil? He had no way to deal with Lan Yanran. He could only silently console himself with the Ah Q mentality that "she'll be ganged up on and killed as soon as she leaves this inheritance ground, so there's no need to lower himself to the level of a dying person."
"Hey, you... I remember that guy just mentioned Lan Yingying, right?"
Suddenly, Zhou Ke'er spoke up without warning, abruptly saying to Chen Yulu, "She's your senior sister, right? So... do you want to mate with her? Oh, to put it more euphemistically, do you want to sleep with her?"
"What...what are you saying?!"
Caught off guard by Zhou Ke'er's unconventional and explicit words, Chen Yulu was stunned for a second. But after realizing what was happening, his face turned red instantly, and he even stammered, like a small animal whose tail had been stepped on.
Oh ho? How old are you, still playing innocent? You blush after just one mention of "mating"? And you're a centuries-old virgin? Are you trying to steal my bamboo shoots?
Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but secretly purse her lips in displeasure, and said, "Hey! Didn't your master teach you how to answer questions?! Don't answer questions with questions, you jerk!"
"I...I'm so sorry! I wouldn't dare do it again! Please forgive me, Senior Lan!"
Chen Yulu was startled by Zhou Ke'er's tone, almost thinking she was about to attack him at the slightest provocation. He quickly and readily bowed in apology—he still had unfulfilled goals to achieve, how could he possibly stop here?! As long as he kept moving forward, the road would continue to extend! A true man can bend and stretch, what's a mere apology!
