Qin Youbei only felt a sudden impact against her back, followed by an onslaught of sharp pain.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, raising both her hands to push the person away, but Gu Xiao quickly pressed up against her.
The bones in his fingers cracked audibly as a strong hand encircled her neck... Feeling the icy touch of his fingertips against her fragile skin, she stared wide-eyed in shock.
It was indeed unexpected that Gu Xiao would react so violently.
But soon she regained her composure. Gu Xiao was known for his bad temper, a tyrant by nature. She endured the pain, looking straight into his icy, cruel eyes, and with a mocking and piercing gaze, she taunted him, "What now, you want to kill me?!"
A cold light shot from Gu Xiao's dark pupils, and his temples twitched slightly, "Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
His eyes narrowed menacingly, and through clenched teeth, he spat out each word, "No one can talk to me like that!"
