After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 274 Worthless
Qu Ying, having his thoughts of stirring up trouble seen through, no longer tried to hide them.

"My sister-in-law is exceptionally wise."

He kept calling her "sister-in-law" and showering her with compliments. If Lin Zhao really couldn't handle him, she would have liked to take the Zhao family and get rid of him.

However, the current situation did not allow Lin Zhao and Qu Ying to dwell on it too much. She simply ignored Qu Ying beside her, asked for the location of the other members of the Zhao family who were imprisoned, exchanged the Tian Tong number with the Zhao family, and instructed the five members of the Zhao family to return to their original bodies in the upper realm and wait for her news.

After the five members of the Zhao family left, Lin Zhao held the location where the Zhao family members were now imprisoned and turned to look at Qu Ying.

"Are you still planning to follow me?"

Qu Ying laughed heartily: "If you don't mind, you can hire me. It costs 30,000 soul coins per job, isn't that a good deal?"

Lin Zhao looked at him expressionlessly: "I don't have that many soul coins, but I do have pills to nourish the soul. Do you want some?"

Qu Ying's expression froze for a moment: "Really? Let me see?"

Lin Zhao tossed him a soul bag, and Qu Ying, after confirming its contents, reluctantly returned it: "Whenever you make your move, sister-in-law, I will follow your lead."

"Call me sister-in-law again, and then don't follow me anymore." Lin Zhao's temple throbbed violently.

Qu Ying sighed with some regret: "Alright."

Sensing something, he looked in one direction and asked in a cheeky manner, "But sister-in-law, not to brag, but you're quite lucky. Do you want me to pay you to help?"

Before Lin Zhao could understand what he meant, a giant halberd of ice struck down towards him from the direction Qu Ying could see.

Are you going to blow her head off right away?

What hatred and resentment!

Lin Zhao unfurled her phoenix wings, and the Golden Crow Divine Fire, accompanied by the sword energy of the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, slashed out, colliding with the Frost Giant Halberd. The contrast between the cold and the hot created a huge cloud of water vapor.

The moment the bone sword made contact with the ice giant halberd, Lin Zhao was almost sent flying. Fortunately, her physical body was strong enough that she steadied herself, used her phoenix wings to reduce some of the impact, and retreated dozens of steps before she managed to withstand the attack.

"You're not bad for being able to handle this move in the early stages of your attraction."

A somewhat neutral voice came from above.

Lin Zhao looked up and saw a petite girl with a yellowish complexion and a high ponytail standing on an ice-colored halberd, dressed in a coarse linen shirt. She stood with her hands behind her back, and the nine-layered divine palace behind her was fully lit up. Ice mist surrounded the divine palace, giving people a sense of boundless oppression.

Given this appearance and Qu Ying's previous description, it's all too obvious who this is.

Lin Zhao took a breath, thinking to himself that he had never seen Qu Shu, such a femme fatale, even in the Tianhuang Continent.

What kind of monsters have we attracted?

Li Yi sized up Lin Zhao for a moment, then got straight to the point: "My name is Li Yi, and my heart is set on Qu Shu, but that doesn't mean I want to be your enemy. I'm just testing whether you're worthy of his affection."

After speaking, the girl put away her icy halberd, stepped on the ice spikes that appeared in the air formed from spiritual energy, and walked down to a spot not far from Lin Zhao.

"Clearly, you're quite good."

Lin Zhao rubbed his numb hand and habitually replied to the praise with "You flatter me."

Li Yi frowned slightly: "You're good, that's all. What do you mean by overpraise? Are you saying I'm lying?"

"Puch!"

Lin Zhao and Li Yi both looked at Qu Ying beside them. Qu Ying quickly covered her mouth and waved to the two women, saying, "I'm fine, you two continue."

He was genuinely amused. It seemed that this was the first time Lin Zhao had encountered someone like Li Yi, who was so rigid and inflexible.

Lin Zhao explained, "I didn't mean to say anything false, fellow Daoist. It's just that my cultivation level is really no match for yours."

Li Yi could certainly sense Lin Zhao's cultivation level, and his gaze darkened: "Your current cultivation level is indeed very dangerous. After all, even I don't really have the qualifications to pursue Qu Shu."

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is the race of the Ancestral Phoenix.

Qu Shu possesses a phoenix true form second only to Zu Feng, so she is destined to be the husband prepared for the Heavenly Phoenix Lord.

Even though the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has declined, compared to those dominant clans, its status and potential are still far beyond what these forces and cultivators can match. Lin Zhao was silent for a moment: "I will definitely find a way to resolve this matter in the future."

She didn't believe that Qu Shu was destined to be with her in the future, nor did she believe that Qu Shu was destined to do anything.

Regardless of whether or not there is a marriage contract, Lin Zhao will find a way to return the right to choose that should belong to him to himself because of Qu Shu's help in the Tianhuang Continent.

Li Yi could tell that Lin Zhao wasn't lying, so his gaze softened. He took a few steps forward and said, "I heard you've fallen out with Lu Xiuqing?"

Lin Zhao's eyebrows twitched as she looked at her.

Li Yi said, "I do dislike that bastard, but I can't just take action against him. What can you do for me?"

"How about 50,000 Divine Soul Coins?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Deal."

Hearing this, Qu Ying, unwilling to remain a background figure any longer, jumped in to fight for his rightful wages: "Hey, hey, hey, why does she offer 50,000, but you won't even give me 30,000? You're being sexist, sister-in-law!"

Lin Zhao asked succinctly: "Can you defeat Fellow Daoist Li?"

Qu Ying: "!!!"

I'm so angry, but he really can't beat Li Yi.

Although both he and Lu Xiuqing could compete for a top-five ranking, there is a qualitative difference in strength between the top three on the Upper Realm's Heartbeat Stage Prodigy Ranking and the prodigies below them.

Although both are nine-layered divine palaces, his divine palace is not as naturally protected by ice rings as Li Yi's.

This mutated divine palace represents an extremely terrifying level of talent in Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't even glance at Qu Ying, and followed Lin Zhao to lead the way.

Qu Ying, unwilling to be ignored, asked, "Hey, you like my brother, so why are you treating me so badly?"

Li Yi glanced at him, feeling utterly bewildered: "What does my liking for Qu Shu have to do with you?"

Qu Ying: "..." This heartless freak!

Lin Zhao, who was in front, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

Qu Ying uttered softly, "Sister-in-law..."

Then he fell silent.

Lin Zhao turned around in surprise, and Li Yi said, "I put a silencing spell on him."

Lin Zhao: "!" Genius! How come she didn't think of that before?!

Qu Ying discerned Lin Zhao's thoughts from her expression, and his own expression turned somewhat ferocious.

These two women are truly unreasonable!
Upon arriving at the location, Lin Zhao could see some cultivators trapped within the formation from afar.

That must be a member of the Zhao family.

Lin Zhao sighed, "I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Li. I'll keep watch for you from the side."

"Just call me Li Yi." Li Yi looked at the person next to the formation and scoffed, "Take care of him. Three thousand Divine Soul Coins will do. He's only worth that much."

Lin Zhao: "..." She even blamed me for saving money.

The next moment, Lin Zhao heard the screams of the guards.

Then, Lin Zhao could no longer see him.

This is--

Qu Ying clicked his tongue in amazement: "She directly reverted to her original form. This crazy woman is as ruthless as ever."
