Princess Shirahoshi stared at him, and at last, her tears fell. "That day, when you wiped out the Black Wind Bandits, I was hiding in the shadows. I saw everything."
Lu Chen fell silent.
He remembered.
That day, when he had wiped out the Black Wind Bandits, he had killed quite a few people.
But he had never imagined that a little girl had been hiding in a corner, watching it all. "So you infiltrated Moon-Cleaving Tower and deliberately got close to me just to **?"
"Yes."
Princess Shirahoshi bit her lip, unable to stop the tears. "I trained for three years, all for today."
Lu Chen sighed. "I understand why you hate me."
He looked at her. "But you can't beat me."
Princess Shirahoshi lowered her head, her shoulders trembling. "Kill me, then."
"I won't."
Lu Chen turned away, his voice indifferent. "Your little sister is still young. She needs someone to take care of her."
Princess Shirahoshi froze.
She raised her head and saw that Lu Chen's back had already vanished at the end of the corridor.
The chains clattered.
She was the only one left in the water prison.
She bit her lip as her tears flowed even harder.
The enormous cave was piled everywhere with glittering things.
Gold coins, gemstones, armor—every kind of random treasure was scattered across the ground, like the collection of some wild beast.
The air was thick with a nauseating stench, mixed with sulfur and the smell of scorched fur, rushing straight to his head. "This smell..."
Chen Feng frowned and swept his gaze across the ground.
The gold coins were stained with dried blood. Some of the armor still had fragments of shattered bone stuck to it.
His steps halted, and his heart skipped a beat.
Something was wrong.
