"Please, kill me."
Hoolay's eyes were filled with pleading.
The immortal body he had once taken such pride in...
Had now become the source of his torment and anguish.
Hoolay wanted nothing but death!
There was nothing he could do. He couldn't even kill himself.
Just imagine how terrifying that was!

All of that was fucking useless.

Jiang Yao asked, "What was your mistake?"
Hoolay: "???"
How the fuck was I supposed to know you were hiding your strength to sucker me in?
Hoolay said, "I
