The antagonist was clear-minded and logically rigorous. Clearly, he was an experienced criminal.
Novice villains couldn't be this adept.
Besides, with Xiang Muqing suspicious of the unclear relationship between Lu Bei and Xiongchu, she was completely ensnared by his acting. She couldn't help but feel a deep pang of pain thinking about the two beauties, the regent and Zhu Xiushi, imprisoned in the dark room and condemned to a life in the furnace.
If sacrificing herself could save the two beauties, why not?
Anyway, she had no way to escape!
As she was thinking, Xiang Muqing's breath hitched. She looked displeased and said, "You are using this to threaten me to cooperate with your dual-cultivation. Regardless whether it succeeds or fails, the regent and Zhu Xiushi will not escape your clutches, right?"
Brilliant, the naturally talented villain is you.
