Consort of a Thousand Faces

That’s why, Su Xi-er must die!

“Miss Xi-er, I don’t need to explain for you to understand, so I won’t waste time trying.” Wei Mohai drew his sword and started running towards Su Xi-er.

Su Xi-er stayed calm in the face of his charge, taking out a silver needle and shooting it towards his Baihui acupoint.

Wei Mohai paused his sword, jumped into the air, and aimed his sword at her Shenting acupoint.

However, against his expectations, Su Xi-er purposely stayed still, swiftly moving to the side at the last moment and pushing a needle into his Tinnitus acupoint[1].

Wei Mohai had fallen into her trap; he was already starting to feel a headache, in addition to a ringing in his ears.
Although this caused his footsteps to become unstable, his familiarity with swords made his slashes as deadly as ever.

With a sudden move, Su Xi-er’s arm was stabbed by the sword.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed a vicious look before pulling out three silver needles, accurately throwing them into Wei Mohai’s death acupoints[2].

Ding ding ding! Wei Mohai’s eyes widened in shock as he fell to the ground.
His last breaths left his mouth as his body hit the dirt.
I didn’t think that she would put her life on the line as bait to set a trap for me.

However, a bright glint showed in Wei Mohai’s eyes.
I am about to die, and won’t be able to follow Prince Yun anymore.
At the very least, I have completed the mission he gave me.
To ensure Su Xi-er’s death, I have already covered my sword in poison stronger than that of the banded krait’s!

Wei Mohai raised his hand and pointed at Su Xi-er.
“Whoever obstructs Prince Yun will die!”

Su Xi-er walked next to him and knelt down.
“Wei Mohai, it’s time for you to join Lü Liu.
She has been lonely down under, so I will send you off first.
There will be others who will join you later.”

“I am Ning Rulan, but not everyone can be reborn,” Su Xi-er said softly.
Her every word was a stab to Wei Mohai’s heart.
