The clamor outside vanished in an instant.
The whole world fell silent.
Silence so terrifying it was frightening.
I could hear my own heartbeat.
I was still alive!
I had to get out. I had to find a way out.
Here, none of those little spatial tricks could be used at all.
Unless someone got me out now, there was absolutely nothing I could do.
Just as my thoughts were running wild, I heard movement. Someone was beside the coffin, knocking at something. I immediately responded, pounding hard from inside.
I hoped whoever was outside would not be frightened away by my pounding.
The movement outside stopped, and I stopped as well. Had I made things worse? Could I have scared them away?
Fortunately, after only ten or twenty seconds of silence, the coffin moved again. I felt it shake slightly, then the lid was lifted. I immediately sat up. Standing outside the coffin was Xu Qiuyan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown.
Her gaze was icy as she looked at me.
"Why aren't you dead?" she asked through gritted teeth.
I sighed. "Do you really want me dead that badly?"
She snorted. "I wish you were dead, you scumbag!"
I was speechless. How had I become a scumbag again? Heaven knew I had never deceived her feelings.
I instinctively looked at my chest. There was no wound, which meant the scene of her stabbing me had been fake. It had never happened at all.
"What are you looking at?" She stared at me, her face full of resentment.
I said nothing, but she laughed. With a sinister smile, she said, "Are you checking whether there's a wound? There isn't one. I won't let you have any scars. They would ruin your appearance. But I can make you die
