Shen Nian only felt a chill crawl up her spine and instinctively took a step back.
It was genuinely frightening.
Before this, she had always thought that so-called killing intent was nothing more than an illusion caused by adrenaline surging when facing a powerful enemy—getting too tense and scaring yourself.
Until this moment.
When Jian Li's icy gaze fell on her, it truly felt as if her entire body had been shrouded in the terrifying instinctive sense of being targeted by some apex predator.
Only then did she genuinely understand that killing intent was something that really existed.
But the problem was—
What was this for—
Why did it feel like ever since she came back from Prison Rock, she had turned into an unlucky wretch?
First she found out her home had been blasted apart, then she came looking for Lu Xiu and got pinned against the door, and now she was inexplicably locked onto by killing intent—
And she still had no idea why!
There wasn't some kind of saying about a place like Prison Rock, was there?
Shen Nian couldn't help thinking.
She was never going there again!
But very quickly—
As Jian Li's killing intent grew stronger and stronger.
Shen Nian could not keep thinking. Her intense desire to survive made her instantly clear-headed. "Actually, wearing a maid outfit isn't totally out of the question. Personally, I'm quite interested in this profession too. As the saying goes, serving others is also a form of cultivation—"
After saying that—
Shen Nian did not dare look at Jian Li's eyes again at all. In her high heels, she clicked backward several more steps.
However—
That killing intent grew even denser.
Shen Nian: "—"
Was this the wrong direction?
Then what was she supposed to do?
"—I was joking."
