"Chī——!"
In the faint sound of breaking space, the sharp dagger transformed into a released arrow, flashing through the space of the forbidden book library, aiming towards the direction of the girl who called herself Betty.
"…!"
As a Spirit, the girl was different from humans; ordinary weapons posed a limited threat to her.
And looking at the dagger, although it was exceptionally sharp, it wasn't some special item imbued with Mystery power.
Therefore, the girl shouldn't have needed to worry about encountering danger in such a situation.
However, in that instant, faced with the sharp dagger violently shooting towards her like an arrow, the girl's instinct was to react as if a warning signal had gone off, and she felt a surge of frantic warning signs.
Recalling the scene just now where even Magic could be slain, the girl dared not let the dagger truly pierce her body.
Immediately, the girl hastily extended her hand forward once again.
*Wū——!*
The Magic Power in the atmosphere fluctuated once more, forming an invisible barrier, emitting a phenomenon akin to flashes of light.
*Dāng——!*
In the crisp and loud impact, the dagger, seemingly shooting like an arrow, landed on the flashing barrier and was immediately bounced off.
However, almost simultaneously, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the deflected dagger, and with a *Pā* sound, seized the dagger in their hand.
The ice-blue Mystic Eyes slightly lowered, meeting the girl's pair of azure starry eyes.
Gazing into those eyes glittering with cold rainbow light, the girl's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The next moment, the sharp dagger, like a descending flash of light, suddenly descended.
*Pū Chī——!*
Amidst the tearing sound, the flashing invisible barrier was cleaved apart.
The girl widened her eyes.
Witnessing her Magic being slain once again with her own eyes, the girl finally couldn't help but waver.
In that fleeting moment, the dagger moved again.
*Shuā——!*
Amidst the sharp cutting sound, the sharp dagger suddenly slashed through space like a crescent moon, cleaving towards the girl's direction.
"No!"
The girl's complexion finally changed.
But the speed of that slash was exceptionally astonishing, turning the short moment into zero distance.
"I... I don't have time to cast Magic!"
As this thought flashed through her mind, the only thing the girl could do was to follow her body's reaction, like a frightened girl, closing her eyes and raising her hand to block in front of her.
*——*
The air froze in that instant.
However, the anticipated pain did not come, causing the girl to be slightly stunned. Subconsciously, she opened her eyes.
Soon after, the girl saw it.
The sharp dagger was perfectly stopped in front of her forehead.
Then, the dagger was swiftly retracted and replaced by a hand, reaching out towards the girl's forehead.
*Pā!*
With a loud *pā*, the girl's forehead received a harsh slap.
"Ouch!"
She immediately let out a cry of pain, retreating while holding her forehead, tears shimmering in her azure eyes.
Her expression was incredibly cute.
Watching the girl in this state, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.
"What the hell, can't you even show a cute expression?" Fang Li chuckled, "If you can make such a face, then don't go around with a stern look on your face all the time, it's exhausting."
Observing Fang Li twirling the dagger around like an expert, the girl immediately became angry.
"Are you really messing with Betty?!" With a tender voice, the girl exclaimed, "Don't think that was Betty's full strength just now. Betty hasn't even gotten serious yet!"
After saying this, the atmosphere around the girl became completely chaotic, as an unprecedented surge of Magic Power emanated from her body.
Obviously, what the girl said was true.
Just now, she hadn't used her full strength.
However, in terms of strength, Fang Li hadn't even exerted one-tenth of his own, so they were evenly matched.
This was because Fang Li didn't really want to fight here.
Therefore, seeing the massive Magic Power reaction from the girl's body, Fang Li remained calm and composed, only saying, "This is the forbidden book library you manage. If we start fighting here, all those books you've been guarding so diligently will probably turn to ashes, right?"
As soon as his words fell, the enormous Magic Power rising from the girl's body seemed to freeze in place.
A playful expression appeared on Fang Li's face.
"Hmm..." The girl gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to tear Fang Li apart.
Not long after, the girl slowly reined in her Magic Power.
Just this action alone indicated one thing.
The girl conceded.
"Letting you into Betty's forbidden book library was the biggest mistake."
The girl said this with a hint of resentment.
But shortly afterward, she locked eyes with Fang Li again.
At this point, Fang Li's eyes had returned from ice blue to their dark color.
Yet the girl seemed to still see those ice blue Mystic Eyes as she whispered softly.
"So this is the 'one who can kill everything'?"
This voice was so subtle that not even Fang Li heard it.
So, Fang Li asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"
"...Nothing." The girl kept her distance, her tone rejecting Fang Li outright. She said directly, "Hurry up and leave Betty's forbidden book library. Betty doesn't want to see you."
"Ah, it seems I've truly become hated." Fang Li spread his hands helplessly, but his eyes were full of amusement as he said, "Well then, can I at least take a look at one of the books here?"
This time, the girl fell silent.
In fact, Fang Li had already known that the girl, who called herself Betty, didn't actually want to stop him from taking books from here.
Although these were Magic books accumulated from ancient times, the truly precious parts were the so-called forbidden books.
Naturally, they wouldn't be left lying around near the entrance; they must be deep within the forbidden book library.
As for the surrounding books, some merely explained Magic knowledge, while others delved into the history of Magic.
Even if they were rare, they weren't the parts that needed to be guarded.
"Hmph." The girl coldly snorted, ignoring Fang Li and directly picking up a book, heading deeper into the forbidden book library.
Seeing this, Fang Li also smirked, picked a book from a nearby shelf, and quietly left.
That was the first encounter between Fang Li and Betty.
A most disastrous yet memorable first meeting.
