Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 782: I'll Kill You Now

Chapter 782: I'll Kill You Now

I thought there might be some complications, but everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Life in this Small Thousand World finally seemed to be getting on the right track.

Clutching the token to join the Battle Soul Hall and a sliver of hope for the future, Li Qingran hurried back to the small courtyard in the northern part of the city.

However, before she even entered the gate, she heard faint sobbing coming from inside the courtyard.

Her heart sank heavily. She pushed the door open to see the two little maidservants clinging to each other, their eyes red and swollen from crying.

Because they had grown close to her, these two maidservants had also been driven out by Rong Wuhua.

Originally, in such a situation, neither she nor Yang Fei could afford to take care of these two maidservants, as two more mouths meant two more expenses.

But Li Qingran was, after all, a soft-hearted person. She couldn't bear to watch the two little maidservants who had once taken care of her end up homeless on the streets.

She believed she had the ability to earn money and establish herself in this world.

So, she kept the two maidservants.

"What's going on? Why are you crying?!"

"Young Lady! You're finally back!" Seeing her, the maidservants cried as if they had found their pillar of support, rushing over to her. "Madam… Madam has been taken away by the former master's men!"

"What?!" Li Qingran's face changed drastically. "When did this happen? Explain clearly!"

"Not long after you left for the Battle Soul Hall… The master came in person with his men. He said… he said Madam had privately hidden a family treasure and needed to be taken back for questioning… We couldn't stop them…" The maidservant sobbed as she roughly recounted what had happened.

Li Qingran felt a surge of rage shoot straight to the top of her head, her fingertips turning icy cold in an instant.

Li Ji! How dare he!?

What privately hidden family treasure? When she and Yang Fei left the Flame Boar Family, they had taken absolutely nothing.

The single Battle Soul Pill that Yang Fei had possessed had also been snatched away by Rong Wuhua.

What exactly was Li Ji trying to do?!

She forced herself to calm down, her mind racing at high speed.

Go directly to demand her release?

Since Li Ji dared to make a move, he must have something to rely on. How could she, a newly awakened Soul Master, oppose a family from a Small Thousand World?

Right… the Storage Ring!

The things her husband gave her!

She immediately focused her Divine Sense into the ring, frantically searching through its contents.

The talismans were useless, the magical artifacts were dormant… Her heart sank bit by bit.

However, just as her gaze swept over those few dormant Sword Spheres in the corner, a sudden change occurred—

The newly born power within her, belonging to the Su Xian Sword Battle Soul, seemed to be stirred. A faint, uncontrollable thread of Battle Power flowed toward one of the Sword Spheres.

*Hum—!*

That originally dull, lifeless-looking Sword Sphere suddenly lit up, emitting a heart-palpitating sharpness!

A vast, majestic, terrifying Sword Intent that seemed capable of severing all things between heaven and earth rose from it. Although it flashed by in an instant, quickly falling dormant again, Li Qingran clearly sensed it—that power belonged to her husband, Chen Huaian.

This Sword Sphere… could actually be activated by her Battle Soul power?!

Although she could only stir a mere thread of it, that single thread of peerless Sword Intent from a Great Ascension Stage Sword Cultivator was more than enough to obliterate this insignificant Flame Boar Family.

Hope reignited, and killing intent boiled alongside it.

Yang Fei was the first warmth this world had given her, a relative she acknowledged.

Whoever dared to touch that warmth, she would destroy them.

"This is what you forced me to do…" Li Qingran murmured softly.

Her pale hand clenched the slightly warm Sword Sphere. The hesitation in her eyes was gone, replaced only by icy resolve.

She didn't notice that the shadow on the ground behind her seemed denser than elsewhere, twisting silently for a moment.

It vaguely outlined the silhouette of a stooped old man before rapidly returning to normal.

Old Fu hadn't intentionally revealed a flaw. With his Battle Saint strength, hiding within the shadow of a mere Battle Master should have been undetectable.

It was just that a moment ago…

What exactly was that terrifying pressure that flashed by?

And why did it erupt from Li Qingran, a mere Soul Master?

That pressure was too sharp, like countless blades pressing against his body, almost forcing him to withdraw from Li Qingran's shadow.

Fortunately, that pressure lasted only for an instant.

Li Qingran turned and said to the two terrified maidservants, "You stay here. Don't go anywhere."

After speaking, she gripped the Sword Sphere, lifted her newly awakened, luster-concealed Su Xian Sword Battle Soul, and strode directly toward the direction of the Flame Boar Family.

The shadow behind her flowed like water, silently following close behind.

At the entrance to the Flame Boar Family estate.

The guards saw Li Qingran returning and moved to block her, but they were so frightened by the bone-chilling killing intent in her eyes that they retreated half a step.

Li Qingran didn't even glance at them. She barged straight into the estate, her voice clear and cold, carrying a trace of authority that didn't match her age. "Li Ji! Get out here!"

Inside the main hall, Li Ji was pacing irritably. Hearing Li Qingran's voice, he felt a flicker of joy at first, but was then infuriated by her latter words.

He strode out and saw Li Qingran standing in the courtyard holding her sword. He laughed angrily, "You unfilial, rebellious wretch! I am your father! How dare you tell me to get out here?"

"Hand over my mother." Li Qingran's voice held no fluctuation, her eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.

Li Ji felt a pang of unease under that gaze, but his anger flared even stronger. "Hand her over? She is *my* wife! It's only right and proper for me to bring her back!

You, a bastard of unknown origin, what right do you have to order me around here?

If you know what's good for you, kneel down obediently and admit your fault. Serve the family diligently from now on, and I might still allow you and your mother to reunite!"

"I'll say it one last time," Li Qingran raised her hand, pointing the Su Xian Sword at Li Ji. The Sword Sphere in her other hand trembled slightly, the terrifying Sword Intent it contained ready to be unleashed, seemingly solidifying the air around them. "Release my mother."

Hidden within the shadows, Old Fu raised an eyebrow slightly.

He sensed that terrifying, sharp pressure descending once more, enveloping the entire hall like a frost.

The temperature of the air plummeted abruptly.

Frost formed on all the windows around them.

He vaguely felt it was time to act. If he didn't intervene now, something bad seemed likely to happen.

Li Ji, being pointed at by the sword and sensing that inexplicable oppressive feeling, felt both shock and fury. "This is rebellion! Outright rebellion! You dare point a sword at me? Right now, you've only just awakened your Battle Soul. Once you become stronger in the future, won't you just kill me outright? Fine! Today, I'll first crush your arrogance!"

Driven by shame and anger, two World Rings lit up on his body. He was already planning to teach Li Qingran a lesson.

"In the future?"

Li Qingran's voice grew colder. "There won't be a future."

The final five words drifted from her lips with a chill that made Old Fu shiver from head to toe.

—"I'll kill you right now!"

Not good!

Old Fu's sense for danger was far more acute than that of a useless fool like Li Ji, who was only in his twenties.

He was just about to act preemptively to restrain Li Ji and prevent that terrifying pressure from manifesting.

But he was a step too late.

He saw the young girl in plain white clothes and skirt take a step forward, hurling a spherical ball of light directly at Li Ji.
