27 Garbage or Talen (1/2)

The man took two steps forward and smiled as he held her hand up as if he was caressing it gently like her lover. ”Was this the hand that hurt me just now? Do you know what the ending for people who hurt me is?”

He Xi slowly calmed her breathing down as the pain at her vital points made her face as white as a sheet.

The man's warm and strong five fingers held her weak hand, and his coarse fingers were rubbing against her delicate skin, giving her a numbing session that made her shudder.

He Xi's wrist moved lightly as she wanted to break free from the man's clutches. However, he pulled her body strongly; and she fell into his arms.

”The previous time, a woman—who claimed that she was righteous—took a sword and pointed it at me in front of everyone to attract my attention. Then, she couldn't lift the sword anymore.” His low voice, with charismatic danger, slowly sounded at her ears. ”Young lady, do you think I should cripple your hand or all the meridians in your body?”

”If you want to cripple, then do it. What's the point of saying all this nonsense? Do you think I'll beg you?” He Xi sneered. Her face was pale, but her eyes were as bright as the stars and were filled with stubbornness and coldness, without a hint of retreating.

There was a pang in the man's heart. At that moment, the image of this pair of eyes was etched into his heart, causing his usually calm heart to beat even faster.

He could not help but lower his head and smile, taking away the coercion on his body. There were hints of helplessness in his voice. ”You're so young; why are you so stubborn?”

He Xi furrowed her brows, and when she was about to sneer at him, she suddenly felt something pure spread throughout her body from the pulse being held onto.

The cool aura, bringing a domineering stance of supremacy with it, spread throughout her body—right to her dantian. The excruciating pain about to rip her vital points apart disappeared into thin air, and it was replaced with a relaxing feeling that almost made her sigh.

”What are you doing?” He Xi was shocked. Was this person healing her wounds?
