Just as she thought she would be swallowed by the dark tides, she suddenly felt the grip on her loosen and she could breathe. She sucked in air greedily.
Holding her in the water, Lu Fenying said coldly, "Mo Qian'er, don't be disobedient. I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
Qian'er slowly opened her bright eyes, but where they usually glittered like stars, they were now full of hatred.
"I'm not afraid…" Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.
Was she really not afraid? Of course she was. She had been meek her whole life and tortured by Lu Fenying for many years. She couldn't become as unyielding as Gu Bailu overnight.
But she knew that she had to pretend to be unafraid, because the more scared she was, the more unrestrained Lu Fenying would become.
"Who gave you the courage to be unafraid?" Lu Fenying was about to submerge her in the water again.
