The beautiful dream abruptly ended, and Su Mengyao’s newly emerged illusion was shattered. 

But since she dared to invite Jiang Ning out, she had already thought of a countermeasure. 

“You have so many things, what’s wrong with giving me a little? It’s better than being discovered by someone else and swarmed upon. You will definitely die then.” 

Listening to her nonchalant words, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “No, you don’t understand me. I have a rather hot temper and act impulsively without considering the consequences. I’d rather be shattered than be compromised.” 

“You came here empty handed, what threat could you possibly pose to me?” 

Su Mengyao hesitated for a moment, suddenly becoming alert, and warned, “Jiang Ning, since I dared to invite you out, naturally, I have a trump card. If you dare to harm me in the slightest, you won’t leave here today!” 

Jiang Ning was amused by her threat, like a cat playing with a dying mouse, feeling truly content, “For the sake of a pack of instant noodles, you wouldn’t hesitate to sleep with two or three men. Don’t talk about threatening me. Don’t tell me you’ve hired a lot of people from the underworld to ambush around here. They charge a high fee. Even if you stayed up for a month without rest, you wouldn’t be able to even cover their appearance fee.” 

It’s not about discriminating against another female individual, but the vast difference in physical strength and power forces made a lot of vulnerable women to rely on men to survive and obtain the resources to stay alive. 

When there’s no way out, who cares about dignity? 

Jiang Ning had seen it with her own eyes. A pack of cookies could exchange for a school beauty, whichever way you prefer. 

Does it breed hatred? Yes! 

Does it cause pain? Yes! 

But it’s a voluntary choice. If the school beauty refuses, the school hunk can immediately take her place. 

Having seen through her, Su Mengyao was infuriated, “Jiang Ning, what are you so proud of? You’re just relying on having a special space, right? If it weren’t for that space, you’d be worse off than me. It’s just cheating, do you really think you’re so great? With your looks, I’m afraid you couldn’t even exchange for instant noodles.” 

“Sorry, I’m indeed not as capable as you. I can’t open my legs to anyone.”

In her previous life, the space was cheated from her, but she would rather starve to death than make a deal with demons. On the other hand, Su Mengyao used the space to obtain goods through her body, just like what she’s doing now. But in this life, she was even worse. 

What does this have to do with space? It’s just a matter of personality. 

Jiang Ning sneered, “You need to understand who holds the power of choice now.” 

Su Mengyao gritted her teeth, “Yes, I didn’t bring anyone here, but if I can’t go back today, your possession of the space will be exposed.” 

“Oh really?” Knowing her selfish greed, Jiang Ning wasn’t afraid at all, “Don’t tell me you’d tell Yang Weicong or those other guys.” 

Su Mengyao hesitated, “…” 

“Not only do they share you with Yu Qingqing, but they also let you go out and exchange. If you really trusted them, you wouldn’t have come here alone today.” 

Instead, they would have surrounded her directly and threatened her to hand over the space. 

Unfortunately, Su Mengyao didn’t know at all. The space couldn’t be taken away at all. As long as she didn’t enter the space, no other living creature could enter. 

Yang Weicong was a parasite and selfish, and Su Mengyao was no better. 

She wanted to seize the space but was afraid of losing it once she got it. 

So, it was absolutely impossible for her to tell Yang Weicong and the others. 

Frustrated by being seen through, Su Mengyao became furious, “Jiang Ning, don’t be too confident. If you don’t believe me, just try.” 

“Alright.” Jiang Ning smiled, “Let’s give it a try then.” 

Su Mengyao’s face turned fierce, “Okay, let’s wait and see!” 

At this moment, she couldn’t afford to be weak. Once she showed fear, she would lose. 

Su Mengyao straightened her back and warned, “Don’t regret this!” 

After saying that, she turned and left. 

Jiang Ning didn’t leave but watched her go. 

Su Mengyao gritted her teeth in anger. Since offering her kindness wasn’t appreciated and punishment was demanded, she decided to let everyone in the entire Fengcheng know about her space. When they saw it, there would be nowhere for her to hide. 

With guilt on her conscience, she vowed to make Jiang Ning feel like a bereaved dog. 

Making up her mind, she walked downstairs quickly. 

Just as she reached the staircase landing, a dark shadow suddenly pounced towards her. 

“Woof!” 

“Ah!!!” 

Su Mengyao was already feeling uneasy and cold, but being attacked suddenly by an unknown object, Su Mengyao screamed and instinctively tried to dodge backward. 

Thunk! 

A sharp pain surged through her. Su Mengyao couldn’t breathe as she looked down at her chest, where a sharp blade had pierced through her body from behind, accompanied by a spurt of crimson blood. 

“Who gave you the courage to threaten me?” 

An icy voice sounded behind Su Mengyao. 

She tried to open her mouth forcefully, but she couldn’t speak. Her eyes were filled with shock! 

Did Jiang Ning… just kill her? 

“Whether you’re a transmigrator, from a novel, reborn, or part of some system, after ending up like this, did you still think you’re the chosen one or you have nine lives?” 

Jiang Ning gripped the handle of the blade, twisted it fiercely, and then withdrew it, letting the blood drip continuously from the knife. 

Su Mengyao collapsed with a thud. Gasping for breath, she desperately opened her mouth, her eyes seeming to pop out of their sockets, her bony hand reaching towards Jiang Ning, “You, you…” 

“When the road to heaven is blocked, you insist on barging into hell.” 

Jiang Ning’s eyes were cold. “Although the heavens may close their doors, everyone has to rely on their own abilities to survive. But you keep on coveting what others have in their pockets, so I can only send you to hell.” 

Hmph, knowing she had space, so what? You still need the ability to grab it! 

As for which deity she worshipped, Jiang Ning couldn’t muster any interest. It was nothing more than the few scenarios she had speculated, and all she needed to do was to remove the threat. 

The freezing weather, coupled with heavy bleeding, caused Su Mengyao’s body to stiffen up quickly. Her eyes, the size of copper bells, remained wide open even in death. 

It wasn’t even five o’clock, but the sky was already darkening ominously. 

Jiang Ning didn’t stay longer; she went downstairs with Coke. 

The dog, feeling discontented, glanced back with a fierce gaze before quickly catching up. 

Switching to ice skates, Jiang Ning slid in the direction of home. 

The dog, excitedly, followed suit. 

The two wheel drive was no match for the four wheel drive, the dog sprinted ahead, leaving Jiang Ning behind. 

He is worthy of being Huo Yishen well trained dog. Its running speed was as fast as lightning, with a stable and handsome posture, truly the most eye catching pup on the street. 

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but call out, “Coke.” 

The dog immediately braked, turned its head, and then ran back without hesitation, barking as it approached. 

It ran back, circled around Jiang Ning a few times, then dashed forward like the wind once more. 

As the day was about to turn dark, it was also the most dangerous time of the day. 

There were many groups of three or five people on the ice, all with greedy and malicious intentions, whether directed towards the dog or Jiang Ning. 

Being alone meant being at risk. 

Because of the extreme cold. A well fed and robust dog instantly aroused the criminal desires in many people. 

Many of them wielded their hidden weapons in their clothes and quickly surrounded Coke. 

“Hurry, catch it!”
