Although she had already suspected it, when Shui Bing'er saw Little Jiu with his martial soul activated, she was still stunned. This was a true Hundred-Thousand-Year red spirit ring, crimson as blood!
The terrifying energy radiating from the spirit ring filled her with fear from the depths of her heart!
"Why did you lie to us?" Shui Bing'er bit her lip, her face full of anger. She felt like a fool who had been deceived.
She screamed inwardly, Was it fun treating me like an idiot?
"Zhu Zhuqing and the others all call me Ninth Brother! I told you that on my first day here! The principal calls me Little Jiu too. That doesn't count as deception, does it?" Little Jiu shrugged, looking utterly sincere.
Shui Bing'er choked on her anger. Jiuge, Ninth Brother! Shameless!
She gritted her teeth and finally understood why Little Jiu cared so much about Zhu Zhuqing while treating her as though she did not exist. Zhu Zhuqing had been his girlfriend all along!
For some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
"Can I see your face?" Shui Bing'er reached out and removed Little Jiu's mask, just as she had in the illusion earlier.
As the mask came off, Little Jiu's appearance immediately changed. Black hair, black eyes, and a handsome face carrying an unruly arrogance appeared in Shui Bing'er's blue eyes.
At that moment, the wooden mask in Shui Bing'er's hand suddenly fell to the floor. She stared at him in shock. "I've seen you before!"
"Oh? Where? How could I possibly have no impression of a girl as beautiful as you?" Little Jiu froze. He had definitely never met Shui Bing'er before!
Shui Bing'er's face was filled with horror as she said, word by word, "In a dream!"
Little Jiu: "..."
