After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 187 He Zi's Death
Shen Jinxi lay in a pool of blood, staring in horror at He Zi, who had died before her eyes, unable to process what had happened.

A dagger was stuck in He Zi's heart, and blood kept gushing out. She gradually lost her life.

Que Shiwen woke up not far away. He was covered in injuries and endured the pain to walk to Shen Jinxi's side.

"Mistress, what is this?"

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Jinxi turned around abruptly, looking at Que Shiwen with a bewildered expression.

"I killed He Zi..."

Que Shiwen helped the man up from the ground. “This doesn’t count as killing. You acted in self-defense. She wanted to kill you, and you were just fighting back.”

A flicker of fear crossed Shen Jinxi's eyes as her thoughts drifted back to her past life. It was because she had killed a female that Xingduan had imprisoned her in the Wuming Prison.

Now that she has killed He Zi, won't Xing Duan's punishment be even more severe?

Shen Jinxi was still in shock, but she was glad that she had kept a backup plan and hadn't completely trusted He Zi, which gave her the opportunity to turn the tables.

After learning that eliminating complexity requires a certainty rate.

Shen Jinxi immediately sought out He Zi, wanting to understand why He Zi wasn't going to the City of Prosperity, and ideally, to persuade her to agree, thereby increasing the chances of success.

Unexpectedly, this trip led her directly into He Zi's trap.

He Zi dismissed Huang Hao and Jin Che, who had come with her, and began to strike with deadly force.

During their fight, Shen Jinxi learned that He Zi already knew about her memory being erased.

Shen Jinxi was pregnant and her mental strength was low, so she was no match for He Zi.

He Zi held a knife to her neck and threatened her, forcing her to reveal the method to erase her memories.

Under these unavoidable circumstances, she had no choice but to reveal the system.

Shen Jinxi still can't forget He Zi's appearance back then. She wasn't arrogant as she had imagined. Instead, she looked at her with a very complicated expression.

"It seems your system isn't any better. Didn't it tell you that the City of Prosperity is not a wonderful city at all? Did you think you could live a wonderful life there?"

He Zi reveals the cruelty of the bustling city.

Shen Jinxi pretended to have a stomach problem, clutching her stomach and crying out in pain to lower He Zi's guard.

As the person approached, Shen Jinxi took off the silver ring from her finger with one hand. The ring instantly turned into a dagger, which she used to pierce He Zi's heart.

Shocked, He Zi tried to slit Shen Jinxi's throat with a knife, but was interrupted by Que Shiwen, who was lurking in the shadows.

He Zi, with her last breath, beat Que Shiwen half to death. A few minutes after Que Shiwen collapsed, He Zi also collapsed.

"As expected, you've never believed me."

As He Zi spoke, her breathing became increasingly weak.

Shen Jinxi looked at He Zi, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, with fear that He Zi might turn around and kill her. She picked up the whip from the ground and lashed the woman several more times.

He Zi died with her eyes wide open, staring intently at Shen Jinxi.

After everyone died, Shen Jinxi realized that He Zi had many opportunities to kill her. Even though she could have knocked Que Shiwen down by stabbing him in the heart, He Zi hadn't attacked her.

Shen Jinxi looked at the dead He Zi with complicated feelings. She couldn't understand what He Zi wanted to do, to make her live with guilt for the rest of her life.

No, this is not how He Zi should do it!

Jin Che and Huang Hao, who had been sent away, rushed back and, seeing this scene, hurriedly ran to Shen Jinxi's side.

"What...is going on?"

Que Shiwen gave the two a warning look.

Shen Jinxi only noticed the email sent by Xingduan at this time, and her heart was finally at ease when she saw that He Zi was dead.

This means that Stardust will no longer punish himself.

Shen Jinxi's tense nerves relaxed at this moment, her vision went black, and she fainted in Que Shiwen's arms.

Sang Tian and the other two returned to Wang Lingxia's house from Liu Qing's house. When they arrived at the Wang family's door, Quan Jingtian was waiting there with a somber expression.

Two cars were parked at the gate, and Quan Jingtian went forward to greet them.

As soon as Sang Tian got out of the car, she asked Quan Jingtian, "What's going on?"

“Lanlan sent me a message. I came directly to check on the situation since I couldn’t find her at the black market. I received the news of her death on the way. When I arrived, several people came out of there and avoided me like I was a plague. They all looked guilty.”

“I remember Wang Lingxia’s house has security cameras. We can check the footage and find out.” Tang Xiaoyan pointed to the eaves. “She has quite a few. I heard she installed them specifically because she was worried about the children getting hurt.”

As the group entered the house, they reached the entrance hall and were met with a nauseating stench of blood. Looking down, they discovered bloodstains on the floor.

Following the strongest smell, they found four corpses lying in the courtyard—the Wang Lingxia family.

Wang Lingxia's body was covered in scratches, while the wolf beast lying next to her looked peaceful, a stark contrast to Wang Lingxia's death.

"I'll go check the surveillance footage."

Sang Tian approached, squatted down to examine the two children's injuries closely. Both children had sharp fingernails protruding from their fingertips, and there was blood and flesh between their fingers.

She compared them.

“Her child killed her.” Qingzhi squatted down next to Sang Tian and said what she wanted to say.

Sang Tian nodded and hummed in agreement.

"It seems that two or three of the people who just left also had similar scratches, but they were lighter and the wounds were not deep."

"I've accessed the surveillance footage," Tang Xiaoyan's voice came from the living room, as she held a tablet in her hand.

The surveillance footage appeared on the tablet screen.

Everyone gathered together, their eyes fixed on the tablet in Tang Xiaoyan's hand.

The scene was normal at first; the two children were playing around in the yard, and their fingernails were not visible at this point.

The surveillance footage shows Wang Lingxia frequently peeking out to check on the two children.

The two children behind them stared intently toward the living room.

A few minutes later, the two children rushed towards the living room like madmen, and the screen suddenly went blank, with only the sound of conversations being heard inside.

The conversation went from amicable to argumentative, and finally to coercion.

Soon, Wang Lingxia appeared on screen, tightly protecting her two children and gently comforting them, trying to calm them down.

Three or four people followed behind, trying to persuade Wang Lingxia.

"You're giving up for these two good-for-nothings?"

"Go up and subdue her. I'll send those two monsters to Zombie Island right now," someone suggested.

"Stop! None of you are allowed to touch my child! If anyone dares to, I'll fight them to the death!"

Wang Lingxia held the two children tightly behind her.

Ignoring her protests, the other three men, two of them, went to restrain Wang Lingxia, and two of them went to grab the child.

Unexpectedly, this action caused the two children to become stressed, their ears transformed into wolf ears, their pupils turned green, their claws became visible, and they began to bite wildly.

The female who tried to grab the child was frightened and retreated repeatedly, then began to use her weapon.

Upon seeing the weapon, Wang Lingxia broke free from the other two's grasp and ran towards the child.

The two children no longer recognized her, and Wang Lingxia was being bitten and torn apart by them.

The others were stunned. Some tried to stop it, but the wolf child changed its target and the scene became a complete mess.
