29 Running Away? (1/2)

A knock on the door interrupted her reverie, and Hui Yin scrambled to open it, the towel wrapped around her shoulders.

”Yes, who—”

The moment she pushed the door open, Hui Yin's expression froze immediately.

Standing outside the doorway was a tall and handsome man dressed in a slim-fitting charcoal suit, looking like an olden day emperor. The gaze he directed at her was darker than the night sky behind him, making Hui Yin instinctively shiver.

”Lu...Shen...”

Bang—

Hui Yin slammed the door hard on his face, her mind going blank with shock.

I just thought of him...

And he instantly appeared?!

Her heart was beating hard, racing inside her ribcage like a Ferghana horse. Beads of sweat were trickling down Hui Yin's forehead, her mind desperately flipping through Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Stratagems, wondering if there was a tactic she could use to survive after slamming the door on the Great Dragon King.

Wait at leisure while the enemy labors?

Won't work, the enemy is already here!

Sacrifice the plum tree to preserve the peach tree?

But I don't want to preserve the peach tree!

Hui Yin bit her lip, and caught sight of her bedside lamp.

Forget Sun Tzu, let's go for ZaoZuo!

Just as she was about to make a run for her chosen weapon, the door cracked open, and Lu Shen entered.

Hui Yin nearly fainted.

I—

I forgot to lock the door!

With just one look at his face, Hui Yin was immediately scared out of her wits.
