Every time he mentioned a possibility, the nerves of the courtesan pretending to sleep tightened a bit more.
Finally, she couldn't withstand the invisible pressure, opened her eyes, and sobbed, covering her face:
"Just kill me, sir."
So she surrendered? Indeed, an obvious female assassin without martial arts training and no reason to be a master of Magic...
Except in the intimate moments when I'm least guarded, she might have a chance at a successful assassination. As someone of High Grade in the Divine Chapter, if I'm at all prepared, she has no chance of a sneak attack...
As Zhao Douan's thoughts spun, he smiled and suddenly knocked the woman unconscious with a hand chop without any warning!
When the courtesan fell back in shock and let her hands drop from her face, it revealed a metal tube clamped in her teeth, ready to release poisonous gas.
"Unoriginal."
