Stepped On His Tail

Unlike Ye Shen, Xinghe really didn't care much about the energy crystal. If telling this man about its location would save her life, she would do it in a heartbeat. The issue was she had no idea where it was either.

The man studied her quietly and said with a smile, "I have to commend you on your acting ability. I can't tell whether you're telling the truth or lying to me."

"If you have suspicion in your heart, every truth I say will sound like a lie," Xinghe answered softly. This struck a chord within the man's heart, however it was not enough to convince him.

"If it's not with you, then I no longer have any use for you!" The man suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her heart. "I'm going to send you to go accompany your husband."

"Accompany him? He is not worthy!" Xinghe chuckled with derision.

The man thought she would be scared by the gun, but she was still unusually calm. She even had time to correct him.
