Could No Longer Be A Threat To Her

"Haha!"

Long Chi let out one last, brusque laugh. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye right after that. The girl remained standing upright in his sight, so indifferent toward his death that it made his heart go cold.

"Lu Liangwei, you're… so cruel!" His eyelids fluttered shut as he toppled backward.

Bright red blood pooled beneath him, and the smell of blood filled the room.

Lu Liangwei did not spare a single glance at the man lying in the puddle of blood.

She only felt relieved after Chu Jiu had confirmed that Long Chi was no longer breathing.

Finally—the male protagonist who eventually ascended the throne in the original story could no longer be a threat to her.

"Let's go." Clearing her mind, she turned and headed out into the courtyard.

Chu Jiu sheathed her sword and followed her out.
