"Just trust me." Lin Yue's voice was gentle, but to Chen Xi, it sounded exceptionally firm.
"Mm." Chen Xi answered softly, then suddenly remembered something from the past.
A hint of teasing crept into her puzzled gaze. "So, what were you thinking when you attacked me back then?"
At that, Lin Yue smacked her lips.
"Don't you think you're terrifying?"
"What?" The warmth Chen Xi had just felt vanished in an instant. She stared at Lin Yue in annoyance. "What do you mean, you think I'm terrifying? You can't just turn around and accuse me like that."
"Am I wrong?" Lin Yue grew flustered under her stare and could only turn her face away.
"Think about it. After every Regression, your combat strength inexplicably shoots up by a huge amount."
She mulled it over, then voiced her thoughts. "Even now, your true strength is still a cut above mine."
"So you admit you're no match for me, then?" Chen Xi said smugly.
"Yes, I'm no match for Chen Xi. Happy now?" Lin Yue's expression remained unruffled.
Chen Xi had been about to keep gloating, but then she thought it over... Wasn't that exactly the same trick she'd just used on Lin Yue?!
This woman was far too devious!
She'd fallen into Lin Yue's trap without even realizing it.
Seeing her fall silent, Lin Yue smiled faintly. "Finally figured it out?"
"Don't change the subject." Chen Xi didn't answer directly, instead saying coldly, "So why do you think I'm terrifying? Are those really the only reasons?"
She was determined to get an explanation today.
Lin Yue casually picked up a cocktail that had appeared on the table. "Of course, that's only a minor factor. The bigger issue is that lousy ability of yours."
"Which one?" Chen Xi asked, then immediately realized.
