What a perfect opportunity to turn the tables; it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

Tears welled up in Shen Tang’s eyes, and she said pitifully, "Miss Sun, you really misunderstand...Young Master Yue Lin took me in out of pity, and we chose to team up voluntarily. You’re not the Young Master, so what right do you have to drive me away?"

It was fine as long as Yue Lin was not mentioned, but as soon as he was, Sun Jing’s anger flared even more, "You’re asking for trouble, not favor!"

She was born noble, having everything she wanted since childhood, and no one dared to defy her. A commoner female, in her eyes, was no different from those lowly male commoners. If she dared to block her path, then she should disappear forever!

Shen Tang seemed to finally realize her intentions, her face turning pale, her eyes widening in shock. She frantically tried to escape but was surrounded by several tall males.

The other beastmen in the group looked at each other but didn’t step forward to stop it; after all, she was the miss of the Sun family. Who would be willing to offend a noble for the sake of an unfamiliar female?

Shen Tang’s cries for help were completely ignored. She shouted in despair, "I was brought here by Young Master Yue Lin! Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out?"

Sun Jing’s face twisted with rage as she pushed her off the cliff, "Then become a ghost and tell him!"

"Ah—"

The female’s scream was quickly swallowed by the abyss, her figure disappearing in an instant.

The faces of the beastmen watching turned pale. Instinctively wanting to save her, it was already too late.

That was the Death Abyss... anyone who falls is doomed to die, especially a female with weak superpowers. No one doubted that she had no chance of survival. Who knows how many monsters lurked below; most likely, she had already been torn apart by now.

Sun Jing wore a satisfied smile as she turned to the pale beastmen and asked calmly, "Did you see what just happened?"

They swiftly shook their heads, "Miss Sun, we didn’t see anything!"

"When Ah Lin returns, do you know what to say?"

A quick-witted beastman smiled ingratiatingly, "We encountered a beast tide just now; in the chaos, no one noticed her accidentally fall into the abyss... We wanted to save her, but we couldn’t."

Sun Jing nodded satisfactorily.

In the Wasteland Zone, especially in an S-grade restricted zone, death was commonplace. Any random excuse would go unquestioned.

...

Below the cliff, wind howled past her ears.

Shen Tang’s body plummeted rapidly, but the anticipated shattering impact did not occur. An invisible spiritual power barrier wrapped around her, slowing her descent and safeguarding her firmly.

She had long wanted to jump down, only lacking the right opportunity. In front of those beastmen, her Primordial Beast Level Ice Ability could not be displayed, and pretending to be weak was truly stifling. Now that her goal was achieved, it was time to leave them behind.

Whoosh——

A dark mass surged from the darkness, whether crows, bats, or other flying mutant species. Countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the dark, opening their bloodthirsty mouths, swarming towards her.

Numerous ice blades condensed abruptly around Shen Tang, shooting out in all directions. The oncoming shadows were pierced instantly, falling in large swathes.

She continued to sink downward.

The surroundings were pitch black, not even a finger could be seen, and even the sound of the wind in her ears seemed to gradually disappear. Time appeared to have stagnated, the fall endless, as if she had dropped into an invisible whirlpool of time and space.

Consciousness gradually grew groggy, unable to distinguish between wakefulness and sleep.

At a certain moment, Shen Tang was startled awake—this scene, inexplicably familiar.

She recalled the dreams she had before.

It was the same, endlessly falling in the abyss.

Then.

Encountered a monster.

...

In the deepest darkness of the abyss, a pair of dark golden beast eyes suddenly opened.

Filled with ferocity and hostility.

They locked firmly onto the upper side, slowly rising up.
