"You had something this good, and you didn't bring it out sooner? Little White, you cheapskate!"
Tang Guo bounced around the reception room, turning in a circle. She felt fantastic, as though she had been reborn.
After she swallowed the Life-and-Death Pill, a faint blush spread across her pale cheeks at a visible pace, like peach blossoms opening for the first time.
Her hair, which had grown a little dry and dull during her three days of imprisonment, turned glossy black. When the breeze brushed past, it flowed as smoothly as a waterfall.
The vitality unique to a young girl blossomed like a flower.
Bai Ye could even smell a fresh fragrance coming from her, like grass in the morning, with a hint of citrus.
"I only just found this Life-and-Death Pill," he lied casually.
Was she kidding? Only one Life-and-Death Pill was produced each month. How could I just hand them out?
If he had not confirmed that Tang Guo was the person he was looking for, he would never have brought it out.
Sweetness welled up in Tang Guo's heart. He only just found it? Did he find it especially for me?
Her imagination turned even his lies into sweet nothings.
"Now that you've recovered, hurry up and sever the forbidden link."
"I've never felt better. I'm back at my peak. Just watch!"
Tang Guo had regained her swagger, too. She clenched her little fists and puffed out her cheeks as she gathered her strength, straining until even the tip of her nose turned red.
Bai Ye watched expectantly, ready to witness history.
The next second, Tang Guo shaped her hand into a blade and slashed fiercely at the sky outside the window.
Clang!
A clear, ringing sword note rang out.
A brilliant silver arc burst into existence
