“You were far too naive,” she said to the dead girl. Then she looked at the other disciple. “Excellent work. Have there been any problems so far?”
“None,” Huan He said. He was an average young man who was neither ugly nor handsome. His cultivation was roughly the same as the young woman Mei Qi had just killed, but he was much older in his late thirties. She didn’t particularly care for him, but he was easy to please. Offer him a little praise and he was putty in her hands.
“Excellent job. I appreciate all of your help.”
“O-of course! You know I’d do anything for you,” the man said with a blush.
She smiled seductively. “I know you will. Once we are finished here, come find me. I will reward you.”
