Because she had no choice from the beginning.

The other party is the Duke with real power, a behemoth who can call the wind and rain in the Kingdom of Kalanlo and cover the sky with one hand. She, Meili, can't compete with him, her father can't compete with him, even Stella who controls the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce can't compete with him, not to mention the lonely and helpless Jiang Lan.

If Jiang Lan goes against the Duke, she will die. Duke is that kind of person. Anyone who resists him will die.

So even though she knew that Jiang Lan would go crazy and mad after knowing everything, and would want to tear her into pieces.

Knowing that her hard-earned relationship would end before it really began, she chose this path.

"But in order for you to survive, I have to give up the three little ones. I am such a selfish guy."

She was such a selfish person. She always acted casually in front of Jiang Lan and never loved the three little ones. In order to make Jiang Lan rely on her more, she even asked the nuns to criticize the three little ones.

She had become such a despicable person since we first met five years ago.

For Jiang Lan to no longer be a cowardly and sad bird in a cage, for Jiang Lan to become strong and stop crying, for Jiang Lan to embark on the road of fighting for power and gain, for Jiang Lan to dirty her own hands with conspiracy and trickery, and for Jiang Lan to pretend to love her daughter.

For Jiang Lan, she killed with her own hands her stepmother Mei Li, who loved her deeply and also loved her daughters.

The rain was getting heavier, and Jiang Lan couldn't see Meili's face. She only knew that her hands holding the umbrella were shaking.

After taking back the umbrella, she turned around and gritted her teeth.

"You said, "If my mother and your daughter fell into the water at the same time, I would save your daughters first."

Hearing this, Meili slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Lan's back. Her face, which was so embarrassed that she didn't look like a countess at all, showed an expression that made it hard to tell whether she was laughing or crying.

"Silly, that's because you and your daughter fell into the water at the same time. I would save you first."

Because that's your daughter.

Because, that's you, fox!!!

The step forward paused, but finally took the next step.

In the rain, Jiang Lan walked farther and farther away. The old umbrella in his hand broke, and the heavy raindrops fell on the sword blade, which broke into two pieces neatly.

Just like a dream from the past.

There is a broken sword in front of me.

Behind...

"Ahhhhh!!!" Mary's crying voice could be heard from far away.

#My Meili, do you like it?

Meili, she is different from everyone else. She doesn’t have a God’s perspective. She doesn’t know that Jiang Lan is the protagonist, she doesn’t know that Jiang Lan is a powerful hero, and she doesn’t know that everyone as a reader doesn’t like her.

She only knew that she liked Jiang Lan, but she didn't know that she was a supporting role who was destined to exit.

Even if you and your daughter fall into the water together, I will save you first. Do you like this kind of Meili? #

85. Did you drink “San Tai” milk powder when you were a child?

The rain was still falling, but he did not bother to use his fighting spirit to block the rain. Instead, letting the rain pour down on him made him more sober and it was easier to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. He just held the [Blue Lightning] and flew over the eaves and walls. The white phantom was as fast as lightning, and a distance of several thousand meters passed in an instant.

Jiang Lan jumped over the high wall of the Earl's Mansion and landed on the open space of the martial arts arena, splashing water all over the ground.

It's a pity that it's a rainy day, otherwise her fluttering sleeves would have been like a fairy under the moon, very beautiful.

But it doesn’t matter, she is not here to show off her beauty.

She came to kill people.

"Mom?" Seeing Jiang Lan, Yazi said happily. The children in desperate situation no longer cared about how their useless fox who only knew how to act cute rescued them from the Duke's powerful hands. As long as their mother was there, she would be their support.

But watching Jiang Lan step into the thunder.

"Mom, don't come over here!!!"

She shouted anxiously, but Jiang Lan didn't listen and continued to stroll leisurely in the thunder.

"There's something strange." Beside the Duke, the swordsman Hasak looked solemn.

Could it be that there is a spirit controlling this barrier? Thinking of this, the arm that was scorched black by the chopping caused by rashly entering the barrier before suddenly ached.

It is true that Jiang Lan gave up the offensiveness in order to give the barrier enough defensive power, but the blue thunder is violent and this is its nature. The only way to protect it is to send down the blue thunder.

Enemies outside the barrier will be safe, while enemies inside the barrier will die if they enter.

Anything that tries to approach the three little ones will be destroyed in the endless falling thunder. Even a strong one like Hasak lost an arm just for a moment of entering.

However, all this doesn't work on Jiang Lan.

Since her arrival, the barrier surrounding the three little ones has become visibly active, and the lightning strikes are more than twice as dense as before, but not a single one of these dense lightning strikes Jiang Lan.

As if they had consciousness, all the lightning struck Jiang Lan's side. It didn't look like an attack, but more like flattering subordinates lining up to welcome the inspecting leader.

Not to mention the guards on the Duke and Earl's side, even the three little ones widened their eyes.

Their mother seems to be unusual.

"It's great that you're okay."

Kneeling in front of the three little ones, Jiang Lan knew that nothing would go wrong even with the protection of the barrier. But even so, Jiang Lan was still panicked. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the three little ones were safe and sound.

There were even tears in the corners of my eyes, but they were washed away by the rain and were hardly noticeable.

He made such a dashing debut, but he was so weak in front of his daughters. Jiang Lan is just a scumbag who can never be handsome for more than three seconds.

"Mom...Lilith, I failed to protect her."

Lilith's killing move was blocked by the barrier, and Mona suffered no substantial harm. She sobbed and spoke to Jiang Lan in a self-blaming manner.

Although Yazi used her body to block most of the rain for Lilith, and Mona tried her best to cast healing magic on Lilith who was lying on her lap, they were still too young and her magic power was too weak to heal the wound. By the time Jiang Lan came, the corners of Lilith's lips had turned white due to excessive blood loss.

"I'm fine, Mom." Lilith shook her head at Mona's words.

He reached his hand into Lilith's underwear, but it felt burning in the heavy rain. She had indeed started to have a fever. In addition, the wound on his shoulder was soaked by the rain. Even if the external injury was healed, he would still have to recover for a long time. Jiang Lan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Remedium

Jiang Lan cast healing magic to quickly heal Lilith's wounds and gently rubbed Lilith's face.

"Wait a moment, mom will take care of things here soon, and then make you some duck blood soup."

Jiang Lan immediately grasped the broken holy sword in his hand, stood up, escaped from the barrier and faced the Duke's Mansion, the behemoth that could call the wind and rain in the Kingdom of Carolan.

Feeling the long-lost fighting spirit of its master, the Originium broke free from Mona's chest and lingered around Jiang Lan's hand, as if it wanted to return to the hilt of the sword to fight with Jiang Lan again.

In fact, from the moment Jiang Lan dug it out, it had been thinking about returning to its nest all the time, until Jiang Lan sealed the groove with cement.

This time he finally had a chance to show his talents and immediately came to take credit, but was slapped back by Jiang Lan.

"Let's go together, and keep an eye on my daughter. If anything goes wrong, I'll smash you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

Then, as if remembering something, he turned around and made a hushing gesture to Jiang Lan.

"The next section is for adults only, so please cover your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Mona Lilith closed her eyes obediently, but Yazi opened her eyes wide, and only closed them obediently when Jiang Lan pursed her lips. However, she would secretly open her eyes again when Jiang Lan turned around.

"A good kid."

Jiang Lan smiled, her eyes were gentle, but when she turned around, they were sharp.

The sharp sword intent condensed into energy and cut the flat bluestone surface into pieces, water droplets splashed, and the bloodthirsty murderous intent bypassed the three little ones, making everyone present feel a bit cold at the same time, even Hasake subconsciously took a step back.

But soon his eyes became hot and his heart was filled with endless fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency, you promised that in addition to the three younger ones, the older ones must also be dealt with." Standing behind the Duke, staring at Jiang Lan, the person who killed her sister, Pauline reminded in a low voice.

"Of course, I never break my promise." Even when death was imminent, Duke still looked arrogant.

No matter how evil this fox is, it is impossible for him to defeat Hasak, who is only one step away from becoming a saint. He is one of the strongest warriors in the kingdom. Years of comfort have made the Duke have blind trust in Hasak.

"Hazard."

"exist."

"Kill her." Duke gave the order with a playful smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"I will not fail in my mission."

Having said this, Hasake stepped forward despite Jiang Lan's sword intent.

The further he went, the more he felt Jiang Lan's sharp momentum, and the hotter Hasake's heart became.

This, that’s it!

He had been looking forward to a life-and-death fight with a strong man. He had a premonition that after this battle, he might be able to enter the realm he had been pursuing all his life.

Transcend the ordinary and become a saint, and move forward for the rest of your life.

"I am the Swift Swordsman Hasak, and I am grateful for your great skills. May I ask your name?"

As if in a duel, Hasake gave his name.

In response, Jiang Lan just tilted her head and answered nonchalantly.

"She's just a single mother in the countryside."

"Heh." He was annoyed by Jiang Lan's disdainful attitude and subconsciously glanced at his charred arm. It was difficult for him to move after being struck by lightning. It was indeed a disadvantage in a battle between strong men of the same level, but it would be too arrogant to look down on him because of this.

He is the Wind Swordsman, the strongest below the Saint level, just as he said to Pauline.

In this small Red Leaf Ridge, he can defeat everyone with one hand.

"Please teach me." The moment the words fell, Hasak's figure disappeared.

Of course, it was not disappearance, it was just too fast, so fast that most people present could not catch his trace. Only by listening to the sound of swords clashing, watching the layers of water splashing, and Jiang Lan holding the broken sword in place to block something, could they confirm the existence of Hasak.

It was so fast, so fast that it almost felt like a one-man showdown.

The invisible attacks constantly threatened the enemy's life, and Jiang Lan, as the enemy, could only deal with it exhaustedly on the spot and was unable to make any possible counterattack.

With their mouths wide open, unable to close, the guards of the Earl's Mansion all felt a palpitation in their hearts, and then a chill on their backs. Not long ago, they had tried to surround and kill this swordsman. Fortunately, the Earl appeared in time to stop them, otherwise they would probably have been beheaded by now.

During the battle, the attack lasted for a long time but failed to succeed. Hasak's sword became faster and faster. The long sword danced to its limit and turned into a storm that enveloped Jiang Lan.

"......Mom." Seeing this shocking scene, Yazi, who was peeking at it, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and murmured a prayer in a low voice.

"Haaa~" a sigh came from the center of the storm.

too weak.
