Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Certainly, Mu Lan kept an eye on the castle watching if the snakes entered the castle yet. Though few snakes entered the second barrier, they couldn't enter the first layer. They died before they could go through the wind barrier. Mu Lan bit down her lower lip. Her teeth cut through her skin and blood dripped down from the injury. She licked her own blood and as a result, her eyes became dark red. Closing her eyes, using the wind as her eyes, she stepped closer and each step was shorter and more powerful than the previous one.

Two hours had passed by. Since Mrs. Li used a lot of power, her body was covered with black snake's scales. Only her face still looked like a human. Slowly, her eyes became round and the eyelids disappeared. She opened her mouth and her tongue was divided like a snake. She hissed and put more strength forcing Mu Lan to back down.

However, would Mu Lan back down just like that? Though Mrs. Li was older and more experienced than her, she was younger and stronger. Mu Lan tilted her head before shifting closer to the left side, where Zhuang Lei was standing, at a lightning speed while cutting through the snakes on the way.

Mrs. Li was startled by her sudden action. Because of the snakes, she couldn't see where Mu Lan was. She had to move her snakes from her path so that she could find her. Just as she did that, Mu Lan advanced closer to her before she could move and with one kick, she threw away Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li fell on the ground smashing the snakes beneath her and coughed blood.

[A/N: OMG! Mu Lan, get away from Mrs. Li or coronavirus might catch you as well. Put on a mask and spray sanitizer all over your body!!! (-_-)" ]

Mrs. Li's strength weakened just with one kick and the snakes lost their order. Just like soldiers lost their hope once their commander was injured, it happened the same to the snakes. They became more dangerous and moved on their own free will.

Inside the castle, Pedro, Carlo, and Antonio turned on the heaters. Antonio also burnt some papers and wooden sticks and created smoke. However, the snakes were being ordered by Mrs. Li and so they didn't move from the submarine water base. He was still guarding the submarine base. Suddenly he saw something strange. The snakes were moving away from the water. They didn't want to stay in a place where there was lots of smoke and the temperature was high. As they went away, Antonio took this chance to touch the ocean water and took control over the sea. Snakes, those still in the ocean by the order of Mrs. Li, were forced to leave by him.

Outside, Zhuang Lei screamed as the snakes came at her. She began to jump while pulling her dress high. Mu Lan had a barrier around her and so the snakes didn't come close to her. Mrs. Li spat out some blood and looked at her viciously. Some snakes came closer and nudged her legs just like dogs do it to their masters. Mrs. Li shoved away those snakes and yelled at them, "You useless fools! Can't you finish a single human? Is this how you repay your master?!"

Mu Lan smirked. "Give in, Mrs. Li. You are growing old. You cannot cope up with so many snakes at once."

Mrs. Li furiously pushed some snakes at her. Mu Lan sliced them in a strike. She yawned and asked, "Hey, aren't you tired using the same trick again and again? I'm bored."

Mrs. Li tried to command the snakes in the ocean but she realized that there weren't any snakes close to her and she couldn't contact them no matter how far they were. She realized that someone started helping Mu Lan. She gritted her teeth and let the remaining snakes attack her. As a result, those who were attacking the castle gave their attention to Mu Lan.

'Just great!' Mu Lan grinned and sliced every single snake that was still alive. Three minutes later, she calmly looked at Mrs. Li. "I played enough. Now it's your turn."

She raised her right hand and a tornado formed right beside her. Mrs. Li looked at the tornado and got scared. She moved backward while she was still sitting. "No, no, stay away from me! Stay away!"

"Too late to say your prayers." Mu Lan's face was void of any emotion. Her body flew from the ground. "You have made my life upside down even though I didn't do anything to you. You made me an orphan, took away my happiness, made me a killer machine. And when I was about to get happiness, your son ruined everything. If you weren't alive, my father wouldn't get burned, my mother wouldn't suffer while being pregnant, my brother would have a normal life and I would have been with my family. Mrs. Li, you don't deserve to live."

She directed her hand towards Mrs. Li and the tornado went closer to her. Mrs. Li backed away. She began to beg for mercy, "No, save me. I will give you anything you want. Money? Status? What do you need? Please don't kill me!"

Mu Lan tilted her head. "You didn't even give my family the time to beg for mercy." Her voice was cold and her tone was low. Her dark brown hair flew in the wind and her red eyes flashed in the darkness. She looked like a goddess of death.

The tornado got close to Mrs. Li and she screamed in panic. "Aaahh!"

"Stop it at once, Xiao Lan!" Someone said in a commanding tone. The sound came from behind Mu Lan.

The tornado vanished and Mu Lan turned to see who dared to stop her.

It was Li Shen. He flew here by helicopter. Because of the loud sound of the tornado, no one heard the chopper's noise.

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. "What do you want?"
