The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 776: Mengluo City

Everyone has something they desire.

She does too.

It’s just that it was something from a very long time ago.

Xia Ji gazed at Mengluo City. Over thirty years had passed, and it was still just as beautiful, just as dreamlike, just like its name, Mengluo City—a place where every dream settles. Everyone here appears so happy and joyful, huh.

But to her, it was perhaps a place where dreams shattered.

Her dream didn’t settle; it fell like a flower—completely fell, shattered, decayed.

The past surged to her mind in an instant. She blinked to cover up the pain and hatred that were about to overflow.

Her eyes remained beautifully clear and serene.

Qing Ke was still happily chattering away, excitedly telling her, "Sister Ling, why did you leave? Everyone has missed you so much. Sister Mingzhu even said she wanted to go out and find you. We don’t even know if you’ve been doing well. Oh, the Clan Leader, the Clan Leader surely doesn’t know you’ve returned. I’ll go tell him right away!"

The color on Xia Ji’s face finally drained completely, leaving no sparkle at all.

Anyone with eyes could see that this so-called "Clan Leader" had touched Xia Ji’s sore spot.

But Qing Ke had already turned around, excitedly instructing other guards to quickly go deliver the news.

Then he turned back around with a smile: "Sister Ling, are these people all your friends? You must all be tired from the journey. I’ll take you back. Your Holy Maiden Palace always has someone cleaning it. After you left, the Clan Leader made an exception to keep your place. He gave the new Holy Daughter a different Holy Maiden Palace. The Clan Leader always favored you the most!"

Qing Ke kept talking on and on, never letting the smile leave his face.

Those accompanying Xia Ji exchanged glances.

What kind of joke is this!

Even if we don’t mention others, everyone here except Ling Yue knew or cared about Xia Ji’s true face. This demented woman, whose methods were ruthless and heartless—did she really have such good relations? And everyone missed her? Just one "ha" wouldn’t suffice in expressing everyone’s feeling.

Who knows if these people from the Xia Clan are pure to the point they lack any sense.

Xia Ji’s face had returned to normal by this point, and she nodded, "Alright, let’s head back then!"

Qing Ke enthusiastically invited everyone to move along together.

Though everyone had complicated feelings at the moment, especially Han Jing and the others, who were sworn enemies with Xia Ji, now on her territory, all they could do was brace themselves and follow along.

In any case, given Xia Ji’s mindset of following them here for the fun of it, at least until the truth was revealed, she wouldn’t have any intention of killing them.

So, for now, they were still safe.

The saying goes, if the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. Before they figure out what the Xia Clan is all about, it’s best not to act rashly.

Moreover, Han Jing even discovered that even this little Guard Captain, his strength was above hers. Meaning this Guard Captain was at least at the Purple Flame Level strength.

This shows just how abnormal the Xia Clan truly is.

When they arrived at Qing Ke’s so-called Holy Maiden Palace’s entrance, a few people suddenly appeared from afar. Leading them was someone dressed in white, their silver hair seemingly blending in with the whiteness of Mengluo City.

As he approached, everyone could clearly see he had a pair of dark green eyes.
