Xia Chujian's whole face fell.
"So powerful..."
"Then if the Emperor wanted to, could he kill everyone in my family anytime, anywhere?"
Huo Yushen said, "What do you think? By the way, when the Emperor wants you dead, it isn't called killing you. It's called issuing an Imperial Death Decree. And you have to shout 'long live' three times and Thank the Emperor for His Grace..."
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
They could beat her to death if they wanted, but no one was allowed to touch her aunt! Or all the humans, humanoids, little animals, and robots in her home!
Come to think of it, she really did have quite a lot to protect.
Irritably folding her arms, Xia Chujian paced around Huo Yushen's Office.
"What should I do?"
"I really can't get hurt again..."
Looking at her injury report, Huo Yushen said calmly, "I've already spoken to the Imperial Physicians."
"This time, they'll recommend skipping the Lie Detector and using an Ability Test instead."
Xia Chujian abruptly looked up. "...A Superpower? You mean...?"
Huo Yushen nodded. "Mental Strength Attack. Some people's Mental Strength comes with a Superpower that can make you reveal what's on your mind without realizing it..."
The moment Xia Chujian heard that, the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably. "Huh? Really?! That's great!"
As long as it wasn't a Physical Attack.
She felt nothing from Mental Strength Attacks. No matter how many they used, she wasn't afraid! Huo Yushen glanced at her and said evenly, "That expression won't do. If you expose your greatest secret, you'll be even more finished."
Xia Chujian knew he was worried that she would reveal her immunity to Mental Strength Attacks.
She shrugged. "I won't. I know how to pretend to be in pain. It's a skilled trade."
She had faked it
