"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
The pleas echoed in the empty corridor, the voice like a broken bellows, scratchy and unpleasant.
"Your Excellency, don't kill me. I was just too hungry, I didn't mean to offend you."
Too hungry!

Frightened, Chuzheng hit the thing a few more times with something until it stopped moving, and only then did she cease.
What was originally planned as 'lure the enemy before striking' died abruptly.

Chuzheng recalled for a moment, trying to call upon the so-called Xuan Qi within her body.

After Xuan Master comes Xuan King, Xuan Imperial, Xuan Zong, Xuan Emperor, Xuan Venerable, and Xuan Saint.
Each major rank is further divided into nine minor ranks.
