Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1298: The Troublemaker Squad Annihilated

”Why, why are you all alright?!” The old man was filled with panic. He had always been ahead of others in this regard, relying on his knowledge of pharmacology to make harmful medicinal powders and potions for profit.

Because of this, he didn’t join any sect families but established his own, cooperating with various parties. No one dared to claim first place when he was second!

However, aside from making poisons, he was useless in every other aspect; he needed others even for tasks as simple as climbing trees.

”Why?” Luo Qianqian blinked, looking innocent. ”Probably just good luck, huh?”

Yan stood calmly by Luo Qianqian’s side without speaking. Even though he was protecting Luo Qianqian, he disdained to argue with such people.

”Don’t you think so? My little cat probably lacks antibodies and needs more exercise,” Luo Qianqian continued, dragging Xiao Hei with a placid expression, but laughing internally. Deceiving people can be so satisfying!

She seemed to have found the meaning of her existence.

”Hmm.” Yan nodded calmly, watching Luo Qianqian, without any reaction.

”I wonder if it could be parasites making the body so weak?” Luo Qianqian leaned in close to Xiao Hei, inspecting carefully. ”It seems pretty clean, no fleas or anything...”

...As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qianqian felt as if she had braked abruptly. Are there fleas here? Parasites? Has she lost her mind?

”Let’s check later,” Yan nodded coolly, neither of them paying any attention to the people across from them.

Luo Qianqian and Yan kept their distance from the circle of people, watching their eager expressions appear in their eyes as well.

A dagger appeared in Yan’s hand, and he silently handed it to Luo Qianqian: ”Don’t be too cruel, the cat is still young.”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes—handing her a dagger right in front of the cat and then asking her not to be too cruel?

Seeing their response, the others hesitated for a moment. Who were these bumpkins? Or were they absolutely confident?

But they couldn’t tell if the previous incident was a coincidence or if their opponents truly had the strength.

”Oh, little baddie.” Luo Qianqian smelled the faint fragrance on the dagger and raised an eyebrow.

Unlike others, Yan’s poisons and medicinal powders carried a subtle floral scent, so Luo Qianqian immediately recognized it, amused. Did he say not to be cruel? Seems he’s the cruel one.

Luo Qianqian placed Mr. Black Cat calmly in Yan’s arms. She needed to enhance her combat instincts through fighting, so unless necessary, Yan wouldn’t intervene. This suited Luo Qianqian perfectly.

With a dive, she charged at the old man without hesitation, stabbing his arm with the dagger tip, drawing two drops of blood amid a cloud of powder, while nobody approached, seemingly certain of Luo Qianqian’s doom.

Luo Qianqian simply furrowed her brow; obviously, Yan wasn’t moving, suggesting she could handle it?

The dagger flashed, and Luo Qianqian sliced off the old man’s hair crown.

Silvery white strands fluttered through the forest, slowly descending in the wind, covering the ground.

”Miss.” The green-robed youth frowned and stepped forward, intent on stopping Luo Qianqian’s violence, but after seeing the old man bleed, Luo Qianqian had already targeted him.

Yet the green-robed youth, oblivious, still intended to persuade Luo Qianqian.

As the powder on Luo Qianqian’s clothes blew toward the green-robed youth, Luo Qianqian hadn’t even moved when... the green-robed youth collapsed...

??? Are you joking? Can you give your teammate an antidote before attacking?

Seeing the old man’s pallor, Luo Qianqian thought he likely didn’t have time to consider his so-called teammates.

Apparently, he had stupid teammates, like Xiaxia, someone still gazing longingly at Yan: ”Darling, I’ll cook delicious food for you when we get home!”

Yan didn’t even glance at her, nor did Luo Qianqian have time to react when the three remaining guys chose to flee???

Luckily, they remembered to bring the old man, Xiaxia, and the injured teammate, but clearly abandoned the green-robed youth, fearing tricks due to proximity to Luo Qianqian.

”What’s the deal with this?” They’ve all run off; how will she practice her combat moves?

Even though Bai Ze provided her with Cultivation Technique Secret Manual, it’s evident she needs external stimulation for practice. How can she be passionate about practicing alone?

Before she could reach Yan and Mr. Black Cat, Yan positioned a dagger in front of her: ”Clean yourself up.” Although Luo Qianqian wasn’t concerned, Mr. Black Cat was still ’fragile’ and scared.

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, watching as Yan opened two bottles of water, placing them beside her. Silently pouting, she washed her clothes and hair, braiding it into a high ponytail, looking crestfallen.

Mr. Black Cat jumped into Luo Qianqian’s arms, glaring with wide, aggrieved eyes, snuggling against her cheek, seemingly displeased with Yan’s lack of warmth.

Yan, seemingly indifferent, casually retrieved a sachet and opened it, taking out a neatly folded white silk handkerchief, though the fold lines were inevitable, and calmly tied it around Mr. Black Cat’s neck.

The patch of white amidst the black added a touch of elegance to Mr. Black Cat without being too abrupt.

Luo Qianqian blinked: ”I should have a pet collar somewhere, try finding it.” Such a nice silk handkerchief — it would be a shame if it fell and got lost?

Yan pondered briefly and understood Luo Qianqian’s meaning, retrieving a black collar with a bell, the smallest size, almost fitting Mr. Black Cat.

Luo Qianqian untied the silk handkerchief and removed the bell, calmly attaching the silk handkerchief to the collar, tying a standard and secure bow before putting it on Mr. Black Cat: ”Earlier, I was fine because of the sachet, right?”

”Hmm.” Yan nodded calmly.

”So this silk handkerchief serves the same purpose?” Luo Qianqian realized, filled with excitement; having a godlike figure by her side meant her family could benefit, right?

Yet this god refused to spare Qin Nuan, causing frustration...

”Something like that.” Yan nodded calmly.

Mr. Black Cat clearly felt uncomfortable with the collar but the scent of the silk handkerchief comforted him, so he merely patted it with his paw without further action.
