Chapter 54: Asking for Votes

Yun Xiao stared with her cold, piercing eyes as tears fell mercilessly onto the bedding. She had been so cautious, yet she hadn't realized that in front of Quan Shaoqing, she stood no chance, and everything was laid bare.

"Lift your head, look at me! You are a soldier, and you must bear the spirit of one. In this world, has anyone called you a monster?" Quan Shaoqing stood before her bed, his eyes commanding as he looked down at her, his tone shedding some of its harshness.

Yun Xiao still kept her head down, not understanding what Quan Shaoqing meant. Was he not afraid of her? Or did he not suspect her to be a monster?

It was a long while before she carefully lifted her head, her eyes filled with trepidation.

She saw Quan Shaoqing standing before her, upright and tall, broad and muscular, with bright phoenix eyes below thick eyebrows shining like stars, dazzling as the sun. Even so, she could not guess what he was thinking at that moment.
