Su Yan closed her eyes, yet the anticipated pain did not come.
She felt only a tightness around her waist.
A familiar, overpowering aura enveloped her in its embrace.
Looking up, she saw the smile fade from Hua Qing's face.
He held her expressionlessly, his eyes deep and soulful, just gazing at her.
Stranger, indifferent.
The whip hadn't even managed to strike before.
The brown bear was sent flying dozens of meters by a powerful force, smashing through the door and crashing to the ground outside.
She had yet to speak.
When she heard Hua Qing's ambiguous voice
"Why didn't you dodge? Did you really wish to die here, or did you want to see if I would save you?"
Su Yan blinked, reached out, and grasped the hem of his garment.
She whispered softly,
"I'm in pain, I can't walk."
After a silent pause, Hua Qing's smile slowly emerged.
But that smile, it was hard to tell whether it had more sarcasm or genuineness.
"Benefactors, they tend to use such tricks."
