Whoosh! Xu Xiaoshou flashed aside, nimbly evading Night Owl's grab. At the same time, he widened the distance between them and raised the token in his hand.
"You want this?" The corner of his lips lifted as his gaze dropped onto the large characters on the token. He asked curiously, "What is this?"
"The Godslayer Edict."
Night Owl raised her head sharply, the motion so large that it sent her hood flying upward.
This time, Xu Xiaoshou saw clearly. Once the shadow briefly obscuring her face vanished, it revealed a pair of crystal-clear eyes with the luster of amber, their narrow, limpid depths holding a chill darkness and seductive gloom.
Sure enough, someone with such an exquisitely beautiful lower face couldn't possibly have ugly eyes...
As Xu Xiaoshou froze for a moment, thoughts began turning in his mind. Yet the instant he came back to his senses, he discovered that Night Owl was already before him, her left hand reaching out again to seize the Godslayer Edict.
She can even make use of her looks?!
Xu Xiaoshou was impressed. This woman had truly honed every weapon on her body to the utmost. How many young boys had this move fooled? Was that how Aberrant had fallen for her? Too bad it won't fool me!
I've seen more than a handful of eyes prettier than yours, both men and women. Ever heard of the Lei Clan Eye? Whoosh!
Xu Xiaoshou merely leaned backward, moving so quickly that he even left a white afterimage where he had stood. Barely dodging Night Owl's second round of robbery, he broke into a smile again.
"If you can't get it from me, you'll take it by force?"
The words carried a trace of teasing, but there was no doubt they were also brimming with provocation.
