Who could have imagined? She had actually been slapped in the face.
To catch up with Mei Meng, the incarnation of Wu You had brought no one except Cui Mi, who was leading the way. Mei Meng, meanwhile, had guards with her.
When they saw the traitor Zhongli Fu blocking their path, the guards tensed and moved in front of Mei Meng, prepared to buy time with their lives. Weariness colored Mei Meng's brows and eyes, but her gaze remained as resolute as ever. "I come when I please and leave when I please. I go freely as I wish. How could a fickle villain like you interfere?"
Zhongli Fu had openly betrayed them. Mei Meng had no reason to be polite.
If she hadn't lost the battle and been unable to deal with him, she would have taken his life at their first meeting. But now, it seemed he was the one who wanted hers. Mei Meng understood the rule that victors became kings and losers outlaws. If she was outmatched, then she was outmatched—but she wouldn't beg.
The incarnation of Wu You smiled as lightly as a breeze over still water, taking no offense at Mei Meng's "fickle villain." "Chancellor Mei is certainly bold. My Lord has long wanted to witness your brilliance. Will you come with me?"
Mei Meng sneered. "And if I refuse?"
The incarnation of Wu You's voice suddenly turned cold. "Then you die!"
If Mei Meng surrendered, Kang Country would gain another prisoner of war.
If she refused, the riverbed would gain another water ghost!
Faced with a threat dripping with undisguised Killing Intent, Mei Meng only answered with a faint, calm smile. "My head is right here. I await your taking it!"
The incarnation of Wu You shoved Cui Mi out of danger
