Ahem!!
The intense suffocation forced a pained sound from Qin Jishi's mouth.
At this moment, Qin Jishi was utterly bedraggled.
His hair was disheveled, his face filthy!
Purple bruising had begun to spread across his bloodless, pallid face, while his white robes were covered in ash-gray dust.

But!!
He had never made a move to kill him. All he had done was toy with him.
Creak!
Did he really think Qin Jishi was afraid after humiliating him like this?
"Heh
