Chapter 282: 250, Large Scissors and Cat Girl
Such a girl, with her unkempt clothing and sinister gaze, was naturally given a wide berth by passersby.
Mingli, holding a copy of Adventurer's Weekly and pointing at Lin Da's photo, stumbled over to a passerby for help:
"Heh heh heh, heh heh heh... You, you, you, take a look for me... Where, where, where is this person?"
"Are you damn crazy, stay away from me!"
The one addressed was a handsome man, holding his girlfriend's hand, just coming out of a jewelry store.
The man, startled by Mingli, cursed out loud and walked away with his girlfriend, both looking annoyed.
"Why, why, why do they, they, they all look down on me!"
Mingli furrowed her brows, muttering painfully to herself, her arms wrapped around her body as she saw her own reflection in a puddle on the ground, the inferiority in her eyes growing even more evident:
Such an ugly girl, disliked by everyone, deserves to be abandoned by Dark Shadow!
The joy that Dark Shadow finds in those pretty girls is a hundred times what she could offer!
Mingli, with her dark history of being bullied, had extremely low confidence in her appearance.
When everyone else was taunting her for being ugly, only Dark Shadow had stood up for her.
In the sunlight, Dark Shadow had reached out a hand and told her:
[Option A: You are the most beautiful girl in the world. Join my team.]
Although she didn't know what Option A was about, it was... indeed a lie from Dark Shadow!
Mingli had been in the team for only two months before she was driven out of the villa by Dark Shadow, with all her luggage thrown out.
When other team members saw her lingering near the villa, they warned her:
"Don't let us see you on Chaoyang Boulevard, or we'll beat you every time we do!"
"Just to let you know, if you don't want a good thrashing, you'd better scram!"
Mingli, shunned by everyone, became more and more unkempt, often wearing the same underwear for months, only changing it when the odor became noticeable to others.
After all, trash is trash. Even in pretty clothes, she would still be the trash that Dark Shadow discarded. It made no difference whether she changed her clothes or not. Mingli's confidence had nearly hit rock bottom the moment Dark Shadow kicked her out.
Even with a level of 41, facing those attractive, smartly dressed female adventurers on the street, she still felt inferior and dared not even look them in the eye.
Mingli kept muttering to herself that 'she was not a bug' as she walked forward, her head bowed and trembling.
As a result, she accidentally bumped into an adventurer.
This adventurer was a cat girl, just coming out of the Adventurers' Guild after watching a livestream strategy for Phoenix Tail Flower.
She was attractive, with a fashionable outfit. Her shoes were the latest model from Estelle, a gorgeous pearly white that reminded one of pearls. Her bare thighs led up to a pair of tight shorts and a fit, wild waist marked with the contours of her abs.
In the cool breeze of late autumn, she presented a strikingly beautiful, chilling sight.
"Are you blind meow, a filthy beggar from out of town, you dirtied my shoes meow!"
The cat girl was imperious, hands on hips, scolding fiercely.
By looking at Mingli, dirty and lacking in self-confidence, she knew that this girl was a filthy bottom-tier adventurer from out of town who couldn't make it and had ended up in White Dove City.
The argument drew the attention of the passersby, who stopped with interest to watch the commotion.
Though White Dove City was impoverished, its residents were much stronger than the wandering adventurers.
Usually downtrodden by Red Heart City and South Rock City, now faced with a filthy beggar, some of the low-class adventurers who were used to repression couldn't help but show Schadenfreude, even wanting to spit on the girl and curse:
'A filthy out-of-towner, even coming to our White Dove City to beg?!'
They saw the girl with dark green hair trembling, the ground nearby buzzing and vibrating, making them wonder: Was there an earthquake?
Mingli's dark green curls cascaded wildly, her eyes flickering manically as she glared at the cat girl: "You, you, you, you, level 11, how dare, dare you taunt me!"
The cat girl was taken aback, not realizing the nearby abnormalities were related to the girl in front of her, arrogantly retorted, "I'm taunting you alright, ugly and poor beggar!"
"Aaaahhhhhhh!"
Mingli held her head, screaming piercingly, as she whirled out a black pair of scissors as tall as a person from her hand with a flash of light.
This scene immediately stunned the cat girl and the onlookers.
From the black scissors, a strong Dark Series energy pulse emanated, clearly a weapon of extraordinary quality.
How could a filthy beggar possess such luxurious equipment?
"Meow, I was wrong meow, I apologize meow."
The cat girl, frightened, turned pale and retreated.
But it was too late.
Stay updated through empire
Mingli snickered as she swung the large scissors towards the cat girl's head!
Snip!
Snip snip snip!
The cat girl thought she was as good as dead.
Bystanders also screamed in panic, shouting, "Murder, the Knights Order, come quickly!"
What was cut off, however, was not the cat girl's head.
It was her beautiful brown short hair.
In just a few seconds, Mingli had shaved the cat girl bald, the kind that could reflect light in the sunlight.
"Eek!!!"
The cat girl held her face in horror as she looked at the glass display of a shop next door, her once prideful brown short hair had vanished in the blink of an eye.
For a woman who loves beauty, hair is undoubtedly a second life.
Mingli didn't kill her but took half her life.
"Heh, hehehe, ugly, ugly, so ugly! Even more than me me me me! Heeheeheehee..."
Mingli covered her mouth, her sinister laughter leaking out between her fingers.
This person must have a problem with their head, right?
The bystanders wore strange expressions.
They felt that the person must have a fault in their magic circuit inside their head, turning into a mental case.
A mentally ill person committing murder wouldn't be sentenced to death.
Realizing this, the bystanders all became afraid, not daring to approach this strange girl.
Mingli grabbed a copy of Adventurer's Weekly, showing it to the cat girl, "This person, where where where is he!?"
"Don't you come near me!"
The cat girl cried out in fright.
Just then, an astonished voice rang out.
"Mingli?"
"What are you doing here?"
Suddenly called by her name, Mingli paused for a moment.
She let go of the cat girl, her eyes warily looking ahead.
Where she was standing was right near the Adventurers' Guild.
The live show of Phoenix Tail Flower ended, and the audience began to disperse, heading downstairs.
Tasya and Dawen were planning to go to Secret Realm Square to meet Lin Da.
There was also Aiko, Bervis, Lin who was in hiding, the members of the White Dove Adventure Group, the fans of Phoenix Tail Flower...
They all intended to go to Secret Realm Square to congratulate Phoenix Tail Flower on the successful subjugation of the Epic Monster.
And so, Mingli ran into them.
The one who recognized Mingli and voiced her suspicion was Mingli's former teammate: Tasya.
Even though they didn't spend a lot of time together, they indeed had an old teammates' relationship.
A flicker of confusion crossed Tasya's cool face.
She remembered that after Mingli was kicked out of the team, she went to Black Mamba City thousands of miles away.
Why would she suddenly appear here?
The last time the two met was about three years ago.
Unlike normal former teammates, there was no joy of reunion on their faces.
To be precise, the members of the Primordial Adventure Team were more like competitors.
Only those who performed well would receive praise from Dark Shadow and be kept on.
