HITA Chapter 12

The sound of the wind howled past her ears, and Shi Shuiyue couldn’t help but be lost deep into her thoughts. 

Why did it feel like she was always on the run?

Ah, it was so hard being a villain.

“Demoness, accept your fate!”

CLACK!

“AHHHH!”

Shi Shuiyue looked speechlessly at her subordinates who were lying by her feet with their hands over their wounds and blinking at her. She looked up at the slightly confused members of the Wulin League and calmly asked, “With just you guys?” There was an indescribable sense of arrogance in her voice.

Everyone came back to their senses and regarded Shi Shuiyue’s words with contempt, “You’re alone now. Do you think we will still be afraid of you?!”

Shi Shuiyue didn’t say anything and directly started fighting. Mhm…villains usually died of being too talkative, so it was better if she spoke less and did more work.

After several rounds, Shi Shuiyue was ‘captured’ by them.

“This demoness isn’t that impressive ah!” Someone laughed wildly. 

“Haha—or it’s that we’re too powerful!” Another person gloated. 

Shi Shuiyue, who was being taken back to the Wulin League, maintained an expressionless face as she silently looked at the group of people laughing like fools.

Sure enough, except for the protagonist, everyone else’s intelligence was below average.

“What did you say? They caught Shuiyue?!” Tang Xing suddenly stood up from his seat. Ling was used to being emotionless, but he was also incredulously surprised to see Tang Xing’s anxious expression. 

“Yes, but…” Before Ling had finished speaking, Tang Xing had suddenly disappeared. 

Ling: “…”

‘Master, please let me finish speaking!’

Clink!

“Demoness, don’t even think about running away. These handcuffs are made with black iron, so they can’t be cut open.” The person, who locked her up, warned her before leaving. Shi Shuiyue finally had time to take a look at the insignificant handcuffs. She slightly retracted her hands and took them out of the handcuffs. 

Shi Shuiyue: “…” Oh, did it just work like that?

Although she really wanted to ridicule them, she didn’t know where to begin. Thus Shi Shuiyue just silently put her hands back in.

She stayed like this in boredom for a few hours. It was only when the light outside the small window lit up that Shi Shuiyue finally came out of her daze. 

Mhm—she should get down to business. 

Although she didn’t know why no one came to ‘take care’ of her during this time, it was still better to leave first. After all, she was someone who had serious matters to handle. 

Just as Shi Shuiyue was about to take her hands out, there was a faint sound of footsteps. After that, she heard the sound of the cell door being opened. 

Someone rushed in and abruptly hugged Shi Shuiyue. She was taken aback—who was this person?

That person took a moment to calm down and finally let go of Shi Shuiyue.

“Sorry I’m late.” Tang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw that Shi Shuiyue was unharmed, the gentle smile on his face finally reappeared. He said, “I’ll take you out.” After he said that, he took the key out from his sleeves and wanted to open the cuffs. 

Shi Shuiyue glanced at him and directly took both her hands out. 

Tang Xing’s smile stiffened and silently put the key back. 

It was no wonder that, even, he couldn’t save the Wulin League. With this level of intelligence…Tang Xing took a look at the handcuffs, and then followed Shi Shuiyue as she walked out blatantly.

“No one came—it was your doing.” Shi Shuiyue had already guessed it and couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Tang Xing.

Tang Xing smiled and asked Shi Shuiyue, “Yep, aren’t you moved?”

After he finished speaking, a sharp dagger was placed directly on Tang Xing’s slender neck. 

Tang Xing couldn’t smile anymore. He looked at Shi Shuiyue with a hint of confusion, and asked questioningly, “Shuiyue, what’s wrong?” Why did she suddenly get angry?

Shi Shuiyue’s gaze flickered slightly, and she coldly replied, “What are you conspiring?!” He must be plotting some conspiracy!

As if he wasn’t afraid of death, Tang Xing took a step forward. Shi Shuiyue was so startled that she hastily took a step back. 

The dagger left a bloody mark on Tang Xing’s neck.

Tang Xing reached out to touch the slightly stinging wound. The emotions in his gaze were about to flow out as he looked at Shi Shuiyue and said, “You wouldn’t bear to do it.”

Shi Shuiyue paused and nimbly withdrew the dagger. Then she turned around and left. 

“Don’t follow me.”

Tang Xing licked the blood on the back of his hand, and then smiled slightly. 

Deceitful little fellow.
