"Hand it over."
Lin Bai spread his hand before Chu Xi, indicating that she should pay him.
Chu Xi ground her back teeth, her chest heaving violently. She suddenly raised her palm and smacked it hard toward Lin Bai's hand.
Fortunately, Lin Bai pulled his hand back in time. Otherwise, if that slap had landed, it would have crippled one of his arms.

The palm landed on the stone table, smashing it to pieces.
"Sect Master, you wouldn't be trying to welsh on the deal, would you?"

Lin Bai smiled. Instead, he found the way Chu Xi gnashed her teeth rather adorable.
She hardly looked like the Sect Master of a major sect. Rather, she looked like the little girl next door.
