"Hmph, you really do plan every step carefully, don't you?"
When Leina saw Hua Zhen end his communication with Ai Xi, she couldn't help but snort. She had heard every word of their conversation.
"Watch your words, Light of the Sun of Lieyang!"
Before Hua Zhen could respond, Ruo Ning, seated across from her, spoke first with a cold expression, casting a warning look at the little girl who had offended her prince.
"What's wrong with my words? Wasn't I simply stating the facts?" Leina wasn't afraid of her at all. After crossing her arms and sizing her up, she sneered again. "And who are you? How dare you speak to this Goddess like that!"
Although Hua Zhen had forced her away from Earth, Leina had never considered herself a prisoner. She held herself high, fully displaying the pride befitting a Goddess.
Ruo Ning gave her a dangerous smile. "Little girl, have you still not recognized your current situation? Keep spouting nonsense, and believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart."
She had never thought much of Lieyang to begin with, so how could she possibly take a little girl like Leina seriously? Did Leina think that was merely a harsh threat meant to scare her? No, Ruo Ning was fully capable of doing such a thing.
"Hey, Ruo Ning, don't get angry. Why bother arguing with a child?" Gus, ever the peacemaker, tried to smooth things over.
"What child?" Ruo Ning turned back and snapped. "The most destructive genetic model in the Known Universe is inside her, and you're calling her a child?"
Gus hadn't expected her to turn on him. After being scolded, he glanced at Leina beside him and saw the strange look in her eyes, making him even more embarrassed. He had no way to deal with
