Li Piaoqing's gaze shifted to her, and Yi Chengxin looked at her with a cold indifference.
Li Piaoqing's heart sank; she realized that the other party had clearly seen her desperate situation. Yi Chengxin was as acutely aware as she was that she would struggle to withstand another reversal by the Heart Poison.

Suddenly, Li Piaoqing truly felt a chill.
"... Sister ... seems to have thought of a way to kill me," she said quietly. "What is it?"
Li Piaoqing's heart clenched fiercely, and for the first time, she truly looked pale.
