Can I Not Be Beheaded? Please? 58

Avina raised her head and gritted her teeth. Though he was still masked, she could easily tell he was the leader of the pack. She had a knack for identifying people by eyes at this point.

The lead assassin was always searching for a weak point to penetrate. It was hard because Bai Zhenli was guarded on all side. That was until he spotted someone trying to sneak away from the battle.

"Why, isn't this the Empress?" the man chuckled. He pulled back Avina's hair and revealed her gorgeous, though pained, face. "I seem to have captured someone unexpected."

The man turned around towards Bai Zhenli. He showed her pretty face to Bai Zhenli and taunted, "Is this your weakness, dear Emperor? I didn't expect it to be quite romantic."

Avina was pulled into an uncomfortable position. Her head was pulled back, and her neck was angled at 90 degrees. Since he was holding her by the waist, her body was hanging in the air and gravity was pulling her down.
