Qin Manjiang could not bear to "watch."
But at that moment, his "perspective" was entirely beyond his control. He was watching "passively." The instant Yang Liuye caught Xu Youqing, he reverted to human form. Then "she" tore his head clean off, pulling his spine out with it. Blood covered the floor.
"Hee-hee, round two is over!"
Just then, the Horror Girl's voice rang out again.

She did not mention Xu
