Fang Yuan stared silently at his reflection in the mirror and his expression became solemn.

At the moment, he was holding a metal sword in his right hand and his fingers had turned white from the force with which he held it.

A few drops of sweat ran off his forehead and fell on the bridge of his nose before dripping to the ground, while his trembling body betrayed his complicated inner feelings.

In the mirror, his reflection could be clearly seen: a somewhat immature, handsome young man with short black hair, a pair of blue eyes and sharp facial features.

Despite his young appearance, his eyes contained a hint of maturity beyond what his young age would suggest, seemingly having gone through a lot.

Unfortunately, Fang Yuan wasn't in the mood to admire his image.

He could see in the mirror that just a few meters behind him, a woman had unknowingly appeared and she was staring at his back expressionlessly.

The woman was very beautiful, with lush black hair and an elegant posture, while she wore a long white dress that complemented the proud curves of her body and revealed most of her skin.

Such a scene would have made the heart of most people flutter, but not only did Fang Yuan not feel any lust, but a flash of fear flashed in his blue eyes.

However, he knew that this was not the time to be afraid and forced himself to calm down.

After he braced himself, Fang Yuan turned his body around and faced this strange, yet beautiful woman.

"Husband, what's wrong?", the woman seemed to have noticed his actions and asked him, the corners of her mouths curving upwards and revealing a bright smile.

When Fang Yuan looked at the eyes that were looking at him with love, he had an urge to reply, but he quickly woke up.

"Husband, what's wrong?", the woman repeated the same question, her tone contained a hint of worry and urgency this time.

While speaking, she took a few steps forward and she stretched her eyes out, seemingly wanting to give Fang Yuan a hug in order to comfort him.

Her movements were actually pretty fast and in the blink of an eye, her delicate hands had almost wrapped around his waist.

The smell of jasmine and vanilla assaulted Fang Yuan's noise and made him relax unconsciously, calming down his nerves.

Fortunately, he had already been prepared for this and it took him only a second to snap back to reality.

"Die!", Fang Yuan whispered and he swung the sword towards the woman's neck with all his strength, as if she was his mortal enemy.

The sword's edge reflected the moonlight and pierced through the air, looking ready to harvest the life of another human.

Even then, Fang Yuan didn't dare to let his guard down but was ready to fight against the woman's subsequent counterattack.

However, his caution proved to be meaningless.

"Swoosh!"

The sword penetrated right through the woman's neck without any difficulty and cut it in two, causing her body and beautiful head to fall to the floor, her head rolling a few times before finally stopping.

Blood splattered all over the place and some of it fell onto Fang Yuan's face, painting it in a deep red color.

Despite this, Fang Yuan didn't show any averse reaction.

"Is it finally over?", he muttered in a low, inaudible voice and lowered his head to look at the head that lay quietly on the floor.

At the moment, the woman's eyes were facing towards his direction and it looked as if they were staring at him, while the disbelief and panic on the face betrayed the woman's last emotions.

For some unknown reason, the look in her eyes made Fang Yuan feel a little guilty and he had to turn his head around to avoid them

"It's finally dead.", he thought and breathed a sigh of relief, his tense mood finally relaxing.

As long as it was dead, everything would be fine...

Fang Yuan thought so, and he was about to put the sword back on its sheath, when he noticed a faint movement from the corner of his eye.

"Did an animal come inside?", he wondered and looked around, but couldn't find anything.

Just as he thought that he had made a mistake, his eyes landed on the beautiful woman's head once again.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Fang Yuan had a feeling that the expression on the woman's face had changed slightly and the disbelief was slowly turning into a look of worry.

"No, it's impossible...", he shook his head and vehemently rejected that notion, but this thought kept popping up in his mind and no matter how hard he tried to, he couldn't suppress it.

In the end, he felt that he should investigate further, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

With a cautious expression, Fang Yuan took a step forward and was about to lean down, when suddenly, he felt a sharp pain coming from his right shoulder.

Fang Yuan felt as if a hand was clutching hard on his shoulder tightly, squeezing it with all its strength and trying to break his bones.

No!

When Fang Yuan turned his head with difficulty, he found that indeed, a hand had unknowingly landed on his right shoulder and was holding onto it.

The hand was small and delicate, with smooth skin, while its nails were long, painted in a deep red color.

Obviously, this was a hand that belonged to a woman.

Recalling the change in the expression of the woman's head, Fang Yuan felt a chill on his back.

He was about to struggle to try and shake the hand off, when a worried voice rang in his ears:

"Husband, what's wrong?"

The familiar words sounded and next moment, a head flashed in front of his face and looked at him with clear love in its beautiful eyes.

Shockingly, this head was not supported by anything, going against the laws of physics and floating in the air on its own.

Even more shockingly, Fang Yuan was quite familiar with this head, as it was the head of the woman he had killed not long ago.

Before he could react, he felt a cold but soft body press against his back and the grip of the hand on his shoulder became even tighter.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Under his eyes, the floating head opened its mouth and spoke, its hot breath falling onto his face and making him tingle.

Unfortunately, following the head's words, Fang Yuan felt the whole world spinning and his vision went dark.
