If I Skin You Alive

"Do you think I can defeat that python?" she asked softly as she narrowed one eye and looked at Wei Na.

"You don't have to defeat it, Master. Aren't you old friends with that python? Won't you be able to retrieve its scales after talking to it?" Wei Na said matter-of-factly.

Wei Na wondered why she was so worked up. It was just retrieving some python scales! It was not a big deal.

An Jiuyue felt her anger lodge in her throat and almost raised her hand to slap Wei Na.

The way he suggested discussing this matter with the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python seemed too casual. It was almost the same as asking the python to die!

She wanted to know which python could survive after its scales were removed.

"Will you live if I skin you alive?" she asked.

"I can live," Wei Na replied immediately.
