Chapter 91 - Closed Door Cultivation

Tia didn't want to live in fear, constantly looking over her shoulder, knowing she had poisoned someone, knowing she had caused harm. She had never taken a life in her entire life and she wasn't about to start now.

"No…" she whispered again, her voice barely audible as the weight of the decision crushed her. She couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye, her gaze shifting downward as tears streamed down her face.

"I can't." Julius stepped forward, his face now hard with anger.

"Tia, are you going to do it or not?"

His voice rose, growing more forceful with each word as if he was going to take their relationship to the ground if this request was not fulfilled.

Her body trembled as she cried silently. She had always tried to keep him happy. But this… this was something she couldn't give in to. She couldn't betray Rex like this, couldn't take part in a scheme so vile.
