How did she take out the chalice? It required either power or specific techniques for that. Was she the first or the latter? Her looks didn't show it.
"It's the chalice. Where did you find it?" she said. She moved the chalice closer to her eyes for a better look. They were wide open, and even her breathing was irregular. Was the chalice that impressive?
I did not know how to act. But as I accepted my fate — there was no way I had the power to win against the Nascent Soul serpent staring at us — she tossed the chalice back to me.
"Huh?"
My mind couldn't comprehend her movements. One moment she was a killer thief, and the next she returned the chalice. What a strange lady she was.
"Did you think I am evil and want to steal your chalice? Not that I don't want to, but the chalice has you as its master, so there's no point," she said, returning to Tang Yusheng's side. "Also, do you know Xiao Xiaowen?"
