Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

229: I’m just hurting you, what reason do I need?Gu Xiheng and his group were the last ones to come out. Although they were the last, fortunately, not a single person was missing, and they all survived.

Everyone who came out, as long as they had been helped by Ai Yue, came before her to express their gratitude.

Gu Xiheng was no exception after leading his group out.

However, Gu Xitian couldn’t bring herself to go over, and after some thought, Cheng Siyu didn’t go over either.

Only Jing Xi, after thinking for a moment, followed behind Gu Xiheng and came before Ai Yue.

”Ai Yue, I didn’t have time to thank you properly inside just now. We owe it to you this time; if it weren’t for you, we might have lost our lives here,” Gu Xiheng said softly, his usually stiff face softening slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ai Yue slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she looked at the sincere-looking Gu Xiheng.

There hadn’t been any major prejudice between them to begin with, and seeing him take the lead in bowing his head, the prejudice in Ai Yue’s heart dissipated.

The point was, it was meaningless!

However, as long as Cheng Siyu and Gu Xitian were following behind him, she would not have any contact with Gu Xiheng.

After so many instances, Ai Yue was already clear about Gu Xiheng’s choice; no matter what happened between them, he would always stand on their side.

Regarding Gu Xiheng’s thanks, Ai Yue responded, ”No need to thank me. We are currently in the same team. If I can help, I will. I helped everyone else, so you’re no exception!”

Hearing Ai Yue’s blunt words, Gu Xiheng smiled instead, his expression relaxing a bit. ”We’re still friends, right?”

Ai Yue glanced at him but said nothing.

At this moment, Jing Xi, who was behind Gu Xiheng, spoke up: ”Miss Ai Yue, I came specifically to thank you. We had a bit of unpleasantness at the base entrance before, but you still saved me regardless of past grievances. You really are a good person!”

Ai Yue mulled over those two words, ”Good person?”

”Heh... in the past, I also thought I was a... good person with principles. Being able to keep that inner line in such a harsh environment makes one a good person! But now, I don’t want to keep it anymore.”

Ai Yue said each word calmly.

She paused and then added, ”Jing Xi, what do you think it feels like to be sliced up and eaten alive?”

Hearing this, Jing Xi’s pupils shrank suddenly, but her face showed no change, maintaining her gentle appearance.

However, this scene was still caught by Ai Yue, who had been observing her. At this point, Ai Yue was finally certain that the woman in front of her was a reincarnator just like her!

Ai Yue suddenly felt the world was so ridiculous and unbelievable. Could it be that even the Heavens couldn’t stand Jing Xi’s actions in her previous life, so in this life, they sent the past version of her right before her eyes?

Thinking of this, Ai Yue couldn’t control herself and burst into laughter. The others looked at this scene in bewilderment, not understanding what was happening.

The next moment, everyone looked at the sleeping Nameless Monster in terror, but fortunately, the Nameless Monster did not react.

At this moment, Ai Yue couldn’t care less about anything else. Her enemy from her previous life was right in front of her. She only wanted revenge; she wanted to tear this traitor into a thousand pieces and let her taste the feeling of a knife slicing flesh from her body piece by piece.

Having laughed enough, Ai Yue murmured, ”Jing Xi! Why? Why did you harm me?”

Seeing Ai Yue’s state, Jing Xi guessed that Ai Yue already knew her background. She slowly retracted her gentle smile, her brows lifted high, and a mocking smile appeared on the corners of her mouth as she looked at Ai Yue.

She said coldly, ”I harmed you because I harmed you. Does there need to be a reason?”

Ai Yue’s mind was full of images of her being captured and tied to a tree trunk, stripped naked, with several disgusting demons leering at her body.

Holding sharp daggers, they sliced off her most tender meat piece by piece, laughing loudly as they put it into their foul-smelling mouths.

And Jing Xi stood not far away, coldly watching Ai Yue being eaten alive, with that same mocking smile on her face at the time.

With a ”boom,” all the blood in Ai Yue’s body flowed backward, rushing to her head. Her eyes turned blood-red, and her face became distorted.

Yet, several words calmly popped out of her mouth: ”It doesn’t matter anymore! Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter! I want you to die! I just want you to die! To die without a place to be buried!”

Instantly, the crazed Ai Yue disappeared.

Gong Qiuqiu, who had been by her side, was shocked and tried to stop Ai Yue, but his hand grabbed only air.

In an instant, Ai Yue appeared on Jing Xi’s left, grinned at her, and slashed a military knife across Jing Xi’s neck.

There was no ripple in Jing Xi’s eyes. She wasn’t surprised by Ai Yue’s sudden appearance and attack at all, dodging it with a smooth motion.

Everyone who had been worried for Jing Xi was puzzled, especially those in her team. They knew Jing Xi’s strength clearly, and they all thought she wouldn’t be able to dodge Ai Yue’s strike with her skill level.

But who knew, she not only dodged it but did so with ease.

The fight between Ai Yue and Jing Xi continued. No matter how Ai Yue attacked, Jing Xi dodged easily.

Moreover, she hadn’t attacked at all, only dodging, her eyes full of indifference. At this moment, where was the gentle and approachable Jing Xi?

Her appearance made everyone who knew her feel like she was a stranger. They couldn’t believe this person was the comrade they had spent years with day and night; she was too unfamiliar.

Ai Yue’s pupils constricted. She hadn’t expected the reincarnated Jing Xi to be so powerful.

Ai Yue was very angry that she kept dodging instead of fighting head-on, and she shouted, ”Jing Xi, don’t be a coward! Fight back! What’s the point of just dodging?”

Jing Xi smiled wickedly. ”Ai Yue, your skills have improved quite a bit after several years, but you’re still a bit green. You can’t even touch a corner of my clothes now, and you’re thinking of revenge? Haha, you should go home to your mother for milk and not waste the life you worked so hard to get!”

Ai Yue bit her lower lip, put away her military knife, her eyes turned sharp, and her hands continuously released her Superpower.

A bolt of Lightning appeared out of thin air above Jing Xi’s head. Jing Xi smiled faintly and waved her hands, and a Light Screen blocked the top of her head.

Ai Yue’s other attacks arrived in front of her in an instant. The invisible and colorless Annihilation was hidden within a Tornado that struck Jing Xi. Jing Xi unhurriedly waved her hand, and a Black Hole appeared in front of her, swallowing the Tornado.

However, just as the Tornado was being sucked in, that bit of Annihilation secretly separated and wound around behind Jing Xi, quietly coiling around her leg.

By the time Jing Xi noticed, it was already too late; the Annihilation struck her.

Instantly, all the flesh on Jing Xi’s lower leg disappeared, leaving only white bone.

Jing Xi felt a bone-piercing pain, and her expression finally changed. ”Ai Yue! Good, very good! I didn’t expect you to become so powerful!”

Ai Yue’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t speak. Take her life while she’s down!

A series of attacks had already reached Jing Xi!
