They were destined for each other

I was on the very edge of losing myself to emotion, when I realized that Tao Song was still flying, and her Qi was still as bright as ever. Which was abnormal for mortally wounded people… Even for just wounded.

I tilted my head slightly.

Yeah. The knife hit her chest handle-first. Tao Song's sleeve, with which she covered it, prevented me from seeing it well. The handle of the knife must've hid between her breasts, creating the illusion of piercing her.

"You!" I pointed my finger at her. "You tricked me!"

Tao Song let the knife drop and flew down to the roof to pick up her fan. Then she snapped it open and smiled at me, raising her brows.

"And?"

I opened my mouth and tried to find words to express all the fear, hope, disbelief, denial, despair and then relief I've felt in the last three seconds.

"I'd prefer if you just burned me alive."

Suddenly, Tao Song's face became serious.
