She Died Protecting Her… Then Awakened as Something Terrifying

“Director, are you okay?”
After seeing Li Mo collapse weakly into the chair, a group of Longya members rushed in to check on Lin Fei’s injuries.

“Damn it, how can this woman be so vicious?
Hurry up and take the director to the hospital.”
Secretary Wu cursed for the first time.
Although Lin Fei was always “teasing” her, Lin Fei had always been very good to her, treating her as a friend and family rather than a subordinate.
So Secretary Wu was very grateful to Lin Fei.

Soon, two male ability users brought over a stretcher, placed Lin Fei on it, and prepared to take her to the hospital.

Then, something strange happened.
Everyone felt waves of energy surging toward Li Mo, who was lying slumped in her chair.
Instantly, everyone panicked, including Lin Fei.

Li Mo’s body began to change.
The white dragon claws on her hands became solid.
White dragon scales spread down to her forearms.
Her hair also turned from black to white and grew longer, reaching down to her waist.
She slowly stood up.
Her eyes had completely turned red, and she was glaring at everyone.

“You forced me to do this.
I didn’t want to do my second transformation.”
Li Mo’s tone was very cold.

At this moment, everyone’s faces turned ashen.
They could already sense that Li Mo’s energy level had broken through the high-level threshold.

“So this is the legendary power beyond high-level ability users.
I never thought I would see it again.”
Lin Fei remembered ten years ago, when the director had also surpassed high-level, yet he was still severely injured by that Westerner.

“You take the director and leave first.
Her injuries are too severe.
We can’t delay any longer.
I’ll stay here.
I’ll hold her off.”
At this moment, Cai Xiaowei stepped forward.
As someone who had once been a gang leader’s “son” and a “man,” she ought to have a “man’s” courage.

“You can’t beat her.
You’ll die.”
Lin Fei exclaimed.

“Sister, you are the one who took my first kiss.
That makes you my first woman.
Now is the time for me to protect you.”
Cai Xiaowei seemed to have forgotten her current identity.

“You… you little girl…”
Lin Fei cried—moved to tears.

Hearing this, the others didn’t hesitate and took the director away.

The entire space was left with only Cai Xiaowei and Li Mo.

“This gas works very well on high-level ability users and those below.
I’m very curious—I only broke through beyond high-level because of my second transformation, so the gas doesn’t affect me.
How did you do it?
Have you been hiding your true strength?”
Li Mo didn’t attack.
She only asked this question calmly.

“I don’t know the reason.
But I really am only a high-level ability user, and a beginner at that.”
Cai Xiaowei’s expression was very serious.

“Heh heh, so facing me alone is just suicide, right?”
Li Mo slowly walked closer.

“I’m not afraid of death.
Because death is no stranger to me.
Sister Lin has been very good to me.
I’m very angry that you hurt her.
Even though I felt love at first sight for you today, I won’t go easy on you.
I’ll beat some sense into you.”
Cai Xiaowei slowly gathered her energy.
A pair of white wings grew from her back.

“Interesting.
Let’s see what you’re really made of then.”

In an instant, Li Mo’s dragon claws swiped at Cai Xiaowei.
Cai Xiaowei flapped her wings and dodged.
Li Mo pressed on relentlessly, but Cai Xiaowei always managed to flap her wings and dodge at just the right angle.

“You only know how to dodge?”
Li Mo smiled.
Then she suddenly aimed her eyes at Cai Xiaowei and emitted a red glow.

Cai Xiaowei immediately felt her body freeze.
She couldn’t move at all.

Li Mo walked over with a smile.
“The telekinesis of my second transformation isn’t something you can just break free from.”
She raised her white dragon claw and slashed violently at Cai Xiaowei.

Cai Xiaowei’s body couldn’t move.
She could only rapidly mobilize all the energy in her body to her wings, hoping they could move.
Just then, her white wings suddenly became incredibly huge.
They automatically formed a circle, enveloping Cai Xiaowei.

Li Mo’s claw struck the wings.
A layer of white ripples spread across the wings, which then bounced Lin Fei back several steps.

Then, the front of the wings opened, revealing Cai Xiaowei’s face and the front of her body.

“You’ve got some skill.”
Li Mo rubbed her numb claws.
After glancing at Cai Xiaowei, her form suddenly shifted.
She split into three afterimages, attacking Cai Xiaowei from three angles at once.
The wings closed again, protecting Cai Xiaowei inside.

After a round of attacks, Li Mo retreated more than ten meters.
Both her claws were bleeding—the skin on her dragon claws had split.
As for Cai Xiaowei, aside from scattered feathers, she was completely unharmed.

“I really didn’t want to use this move.
But your ability is too freakish.
I don’t have the energy to keep wasting time with you.”
Li Mo brought both her claws together in front of her chest.
Something seemed to be condensing between them.
Her red eyes emitted an seductive glow.
Slowly, a red energy sphere crackling with electricity formed between her claws.

“Taste the power of the Dragon Pearl’s essence!”
With bloodshot eyes, Li Mo hurled the energy sphere.

Cai Xiaowei quickly used her wings to shield herself.

Then a white light flashed, and Cai Xiaowei lost her vision and consciousness.

“Boom… boom…”
The deafening sounds continued.

A massive hole suddenly exploded on the street above, nearly one hundred meters in diameter.
The road surface kept collapsing.

Passersby were stunned.
Fortunately, there had been no pedestrians in the explosion zone at the time, so no one was injured or killed.

Before long, some brave pedestrians walked to the edge of the hole to look.
They found that the rubble inside had all been blasted into pieces the size of pebbles.

Suddenly, a pile of pebbles in one area began to move, growing higher and higher.
Then a white-haired woman climbed out from inside.

The woman had red eyes.
Her arms were covered in white scales.
Her hands were also large claws, though they were completely covered in blood.

The onlookers were so frightened that they screamed “Monster!”

“Am I dead again?”
Cai Xiaowei was in darkness and couldn’t see anything.

“Are you unwilling to accept it?”
A young boy’s voice came through.

“Who are you?”
Cai Xiaowei was startled at first, then shouted back.

“I am you!”
The scene suddenly lit up.
Before Cai Xiaowei appeared… herself.
To be precise, herself as Cai Shaowei.

“Who are you?
So my original body disappeared because you took it.”
Cai Xiaowei thought of this possibility and became very angry.

“Your body and mine were both taken by that muddled god.
As for what use he has for them, I don’t know either.
But I truly am you.
To be precise, I am the you hidden inside your heart.
Ever since you were Cai Shaowei, I have been here.
You have just never accepted me.”
The Cai Shaowei before her explained without any expression.

“You’ve said so much, but I still don’t understand.
Oh well, I’m dead anyway.”
Cai Xiaowei felt resigned.

“I haven’t allowed you to die yet.
How can you die?”
The person who looked like her said.

“You can bring me back to life?”

“To be precise, you’re not completely dead yet.
As long as you accept me, I can bring you out and let you continue living.”

“You are me, and I am you.
What is there to accept or not accept?
Ugh, this is so annoying.
Whatever, I accept you.”
Cai Xiaowei had a headache.
All this ‘you’ and ‘me’—if they were the same person, that was that.

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“Good.
The contract is formed.
Awakening will begin soon.”
After that, the other self began chanting a long string of something.

“A contract?
What contract?
Why don’t I know anything about this?
I feel like I’ve been tricked by myself.
No—tricked by him.”
While Cai Xiaowei was still wondering about this, she lost consciousness again.

‘How infuriating!’

Li Mo lay on the rubble, panting heavily, a smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
In the end, she had still won.

But that Cai Xiaowei was truly a freak.
A beginner high-level, yet she couldn’t break through her defense.

Then, a pile of rubble across from her stirred.
Someone soared up from inside it.

That person hovered in the air, flapping black wings.
Her eyes were pitch black.

When Li Mo recognized the person’s face, she was instantly dumbfounded.
It was Cai Xiaowei.

“How is this possible?
How are you not dead?”
Li Mo trembled all over.
Because she realized that Cai Xiaowei had also broken through the high-level threshold.

“Insignificant human.
Let you become the first sacrifice for my resurrection.”
With that, Cai Xiaowei casually tossed a black lotus flower toward Li Mo.

Li Mo sensed a wave of deathly energy.
This power far exceeded the power of her Dragon Pearl’s essence.

At the end of her strength, she closed her eyes in despair.
Two tears fell from her eyes.

Then, heaven and earth shattered.
A thick layer of white smoke blanketed everything within hundreds of miles.
