"Uh… why are you standing in the corner?"
This woman, standing there with a sword in such a careless posture, right after revealing a dead emperor's skeleton—honestly, even Buddha himself would have lost patience by now.
"Just explain from there…" Wang Xiao asserted, his tone firm.
Aurora blinked, glancing down at the sword resting casually in her hand, then back at him. "Really?"
Her first reaction was disbelief, a faint smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth.
"Just… stay there." Wang Xiao held up a hand to keep her from coming closer, a cautious smile barely masking his wariness.
He liked women, sure—but he valued his life even more. If life had taught him anything, it was not to dive into holes whose depths he couldn't measure...
And right now, Aurora, with that sword in hand and that unreadable look in her eyes, felt like a bottomless chasm.
