The Social Queen Targeted by a Vampire

Chapter 7: Chapter 6: The truth is clear: opportunities and challenges coexist



He Shiqing approached the abandoned mine cautiously. There was an oppressive atmosphere all around, and a faint smell of sulfur penetrated into her nose, as if foreshadowing something ominous.

The entrance to the mine was unusually dark, with a faint moonlight shining through the treetops, barely illuminating the road ahead.

She walked slowly forward, the gravel under her feet making a crunching sound that was particularly clear in the silence, like a warning of danger.

Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped out from the darkness. He Shiqing became alert instantly and quickly took a few steps back to steady herself.

In front of me were four mysterious men in black, with their faces covered by veils and cold murderous intent in their eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you breaking in here?" a man in black asked coldly, his voice threatening.

He Shiqing sneered, and took out a dagger flashing with cold light from the system and held it in her hand: "It doesn't matter who I am, your good days are over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the first man in black rushed over and attacked with his hands turning into afterimages.

He Shiqing dodged, and the dagger drew a silver arc in the air and slashed towards the opponent's wrist. At the same time, she used the system's ability to temporarily interfere with the opponent's actions. Although the man in black reacted quickly, his wrist was still scratched, and blood stained his sleeves red.

The battle intensified, and the other three men in black joined in.

He Shiqing moved flexibly amid the flashing swords and whistling fists, sometimes counterattacking and sometimes defending. The ground was in a mess, the flying dust blinded her eyes, and the gravel splashed on her body, causing a slight stinging sensation.

A man in black shouted angrily, "I didn't expect you to be so difficult!" The dagger went straight for He Shiqing's throat. She dodged hurriedly, but her abdomen was still cut. Blood seeped out and stained her clothes red. A wave of pain came over her.

The two sides fought fiercely. Although He Shiqing had the upper hand, the attacks of the men in black made her feel increasingly stressed, her physical strength was depleted, and her breathing became rapid.

Just when He Shiqing was about to collapse, a man in black laughed strangely, his short sword shone brightly, and a sword energy rushed towards her.

She was startled and dodged sideways. The sword energy brushed past her shoulder and caused her severe pain.

"Hmph, with your limited strength, you still want to find out the mastermind behind this?" The man in black sneered complacently.

He Shiqing gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain and looked determined: "Your doomsday is coming." After saying that, she rushed forward and slashed at the enemy with the dagger again. However, she felt helpless in her heart and realized that she was not capable enough.

Just as she was about to give it a try, she suddenly remembered the "Absolute Domain" skill in the system.

"Let's fight!" He Shiqing silently recited the starting spell, and suddenly a dazzling white light burst out from her body. A transparent energy shield wrapped her up, with mysterious runes flashing on the shield, and the light flowed like water waves.

The man in black was blinded by the light and stepped back unconsciously. He suddenly stopped his attack and looked confused.

"What the hell?!" A man in black swung his sword at the energy shield, but it was like cutting at cotton.

"Oh my god, what is this?" exclaimed another man in black.

"Don't worry about it, strike first!" The leading man in black commanded the attack, but the attack had no effect on the energy shield.

He Shiqing stood in the energy shield, watching the black-clad men outside running around, with a wicked smile on her face: "Hehe, you never thought that I have this trick! Next, it's my turn to perform..."

She slowly raised her right hand, and a dazzling energy ball emitting a heart-pounding aura condensed in her palm, and the air around her was distorted.

She stared at the man in black with cold eyes and said grimly, "The game is over."

The energy ball hit the man in black with destructive force. There was a loud bang, dust flew, and the mine was in a mess. The man in black was blown to the ground, and wailing was heard everywhere.

He Shiqing removed the "Absolute Domain", clapped her hands elegantly, and looked at the black-clothed man lying on the ground, feeling secretly happy: "I told you not to bully me! Humph!"

She quickly found the secret compartment in the mine, took out the account book, flipped it open and saw the contents recording the conspiracy of the Chamber of Commerce's competitors. The corners of her mouth raised and she smiled triumphantly: "Great! I got the evidence!"

She took the account book back to the Chamber of Commerce and told Boss Tom about it.

Boss Tom's eyes filled with tears, and he held her hand tightly: "Shiqing, you are really my savior! If it weren't for you, my Chamber of Commerce would be finished!" Then he took out a heavy purse and stuffed it into her hand: "This is a reward for you, you deserve it!"

Boss Tom even promoted her to senior consultant of the Chamber of Commerce on the spot. He Shiqing felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life and was very happy. The Chamber of Commerce employees looked at her with admiration and praised her bravery and wisdom.

Just as He Shiqing was enjoying the joy of victory, a magician in gorgeous robes visited the Chamber of Commerce.

He walked up to He Shiqing with a serious expression and took out a parchment scroll from his arms: "Dear Miss He, I heard that you are resourceful, and I would like to entrust you to find a rare magical herb."

He Shiqing took the scroll and took a look at it, frowning slightly. She had never heard of the name of this herb and didn't know where to find it, but she realized that this was a task full of challenges and opportunities.

After the magician left, He Shiqing looked at the scroll in deep thought, took a deep breath, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and murmured to herself: "A new adventure has begun..." She turned and walked to the counter, picked up the slightly worn dagger in the corner, gently stroked the blade, and whispered: "Old friend, I have to trouble you again."
