She hastily paused her track, almost as if she knew that the stairs were the boundary Xia Lei had drawn Her next step was the trigger that would launch a battle of life and death!

Inexplicably, countless an to flood her consciousness In one of the from the cold so her ever-warm Uncle Xia cuddled her to sleep In another, she teased and harassed Xia Lei When she was hungry, Uncle Xia had cooked her a diverse array of dishes She whined and Xia Lei would actually spoon feed her hi to put on any article of clothes and Uncle Xia had to nab her and force a shi+rt onto her

Other than her an to reel too Deep love was tied to their entle as a cal passion

Unless she illing to give up her physical vessel, there was no way to run away fros

Instantly, the ly with the love and memories tied to this man Both ends of the spectrum collided with one another and troubled her pained sanity

“AHHHHHH!” Zhu Xuanyue let out a shrill screaround laboratory Everything in the lab began to tre

Clack! A glass cup near her abruptly cracked

To Xia Lei, the volu was akin to a shockwave from a sound bomb detonated beside his ears His eardruiven minute! After his binaural evolution, he could pick up on minute sounds froh their phone However, nothing was perfect His ultra-sensitive and invincible hearing had heightened Zhu Xuanyue’s screae!

Xia Lei covered his ears in agony

Suddenly, she began to dash up the stairs rapidly Before he knew it, she had alreadyay from the bottom of the stairs Her movements were almost like the wind Whoosh!+ A small breeze and she was already on top Not only did she cross Xia Lei’s boundary but she was also now on the sa!

Xia Lei pulled the trigger, letting a bullet whistle out of the Gust assault rifle towards Zhu Xuanyue’s right calf

Despite things having transpired into a matter of life and death, Xia Lei had decided to spare her a little for he had aiht at the moment, Xia Lei had fired his shot, the alloy shi+eld in Zhu Xuanyue’s grip dropped abruptly onto the hard concrete floor She had executed it in tande, the difference in response time was only a mere millisecond and that was all it required for bullet trajectory

This was a feat not even Captain America could achieve If Xia Lei was a character in the Marvel Universe, Captain Ae hole when faced with Xia Lei and his Gust assault rifle

“I can’t believe you were serious about shooting me!” Zhu Xuanyue looked beyond pissed

Xia Lei retorted, “You were the one who lunged forward! You knew I had a boundary set on the stairs! You don’t even care about me so why should I care about you?”

“But I’un at you!”

“But you were the one who rushed up the stairs!”

“You never cared about me!”

“Well, you were the one who said you wanted to kill e of atrisly battle of life and death This felt nothing like a pair of arch-ne at each other’s throat but a couple’s quarrel

Zhu Xuanyue had yet to return to her opti in her body o other wo and Gu Kewen These tomen had loved him deeply in the past, so it was safe to say that they would not kill hi as he could summon either one of them, he would be able to control the current direction That hy he needed to engage her in a petty argument He needed to provoke her, sway her e or Gu Kewen to be awakened

As expected, as soon as she got eh The tears currently for with her tre voice “You’ve never loved me All you do is hurtor Gu Kewen?

Xia Lei had no time to think but he had an idea of what he needed to do Immediately, his voice was softened He murmured, “No, I love you I have always loved you It’s just that you never noticed s”

“No! Those are lies!” Zhu Xuanyue roared at Xia Lei

Xia Lei continued to pacify her “Please, let’s talk this out I can offer you a good explanation”

“Really? You really love an to trickle out of Zhu Xuanyue’s eyes Despite the tenderness in the display, there was a ghost of a smirk on her lips

Xia Lei nodded “Yes, I really love you”
