C48 (2/2)

”Are you really not afraid of death?” Seeing this, Liu Zhixue could not help but feel puzzled once again.

She had never seen a person so calm when facing death. He was so calm that he didn't seem like a human. Yan Xiaoxi gave her the feeling that if she were to stab him, not only would she not suffer, she would even ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled lightly. She saw through Liu Zhixue's thoughts with a single glance, and only said one sentence, ”If you want to kill her, then kill her. Don't talk so much nonsense.”

These words caused Liu Zhixue to hesitate even more, and she froze in place, lost in thought.

After a long while, Liu Zhixue still felt that Yan Xiaoxi's actions were just a bluff. She laughed maniacally and pointed her finger at Yan Xiaoxi, saying, ”This move is useless against me.”

Yan Xiaoxi remained silent as she stared at Liu Zhixue.

After making up her mind, Liu Zhixue moved forward once again. Holding the dagger tightly, she aimed it at Yan Xiaoxi's heart and prepared to stab it.

Yan Xiaoxi thoughtfully looked outside the door, her hands tightly clasped together. No one had noticed that her clothes had long since been drenched in sweat. From this, it could be seen that Yan Xiaoxi's heart was not as calm as it seemed.

There was actually a bottle of medicine on her body. As long as she could smell the medicine, this knockout drug would naturally be able to dispel it. However, up until now, she was completely powerless, so it was extremely difficult to get the bottle.

Judging by the time, her reinforcements should be arriving soon.

”Wait, can I tell you a secret?” Yan Xiaoxi was trying to stall for time.

Liu Zhixue smiled playfully as she glanced at Yan Xiaoxi. Although she did not know what kind of joke she was playing, she did not want to bother with it. Her hands had not stopped moving.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoxi continued to say, ”The reason for Little Linlin's annulment.”

Hearing this, he got Liu Zhixue to stop immediately. The dagger in her hand had already touched Yan Xiaoxi's clothes. With just a little force, it would be able to pierce through her flesh.

Yan Xiaoxi also felt that her situation was extremely dangerous. It was fortunate that she came to her senses in a hurry, otherwise, she would have already become a ghost under Liu Zhixue's blade.

”Speak.” Liu Zhixue was still very interested in this reason. She wanted to see exactly why big brother Lin had reneged on the marriage.

With a single sentence, Yan Xiaoxi managed to turn the tables and buy herself some time.

After pausing for a moment, Yan Xiaoxi suddenly caught sight of a bright yellow figure from the corner of her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she met Liu Zhixue's expectant gaze. She replied, ”I forgot.”

These three words were so casual, yet they were able to make Liu Zhixue fly into a rage.

At this moment, her entire person was like a thread of fire. As long as she touched the spark wire, she would be able to ignite the entire Southern Water Country.

”Yan Xiaoxi, you're messing with me.” Liu Zhixue stepped forward angrily, clenched her dagger and stabbed downwards without saying a word.

She had thought that she would definitely be able to take Yan Xiaoxi's life this time. Who knew that in the nick of time, her dagger would be struck down by a stone.

When he looked at the side of the prison, his eyes widened. Other than surprise, there was also disbelief.

Why would the emperor come here?

Why would the Emperor condescend to visit a Dongjing traitor in the prison?

What was going on?
