Chapter 343: Power from an Unknown Source (4)
After the Fourth Princess had sent Ji Fengyan off, she prepared to have a good talk with the newly awakened Liu Ruse. However, before she entered the room, an expressionless Qin Muyao walked out of the room. Without any warning, Qin Muyao asked the Fourth Princess to leave.
“Ruse needs to rest. Fourth Princess, please go back.”
The Fourth Princess glared discontentedly at Qin Muyao and ground her teeth in hatred.
Since she was young, the Fourth Princess had always admired the terminators, except for Qin Muyao. Even the fact that Qin Muyao was from the Qin family could not erase her dislike of him.
When he saw the Fourth Princess lingering around, Qin Muyao only said a single sentence and turned to re-enter the room. However, his single sentence caused the Fourth Princess to completely give up her idea and with a miserable expression, she returned home with her attendants.
“Do you want to harm her again?”
After the Fourth Princess had left, Qin Muyao dismissed the doctors and servants in the room. Only he and the pale Liu Ruse were left in the room.
Liu Ruse’s small pale face leaned against the bed. Her usually thin body now seemed emaciated. At that moment, she did not dare to meet Qin Muyao’s eyes. She only bowed her head and pretended to be resting.
“Undo your clothes.” Qin Muyao looked at Liu Ruse and spoke coldly.
Liu Ruse’s body quivered slightly and every inch of her flesh on her body stiffened.
“Do you wish to do it yourself, or do you want me to do it?” Qin Muyao spoke coldly.
Liu Ruse turned even paler. She lifted shaking hands and with quivering fingertips, slowly and clumsily undid two b.u.t.tons on her robe, exposing her snow-white neck.
This snow-white surface was encircled with a black necklace. Hanging from the necklace was the widely admired mark of the World-Termination-Armour!
When Qin Muyao saw the mark of the World-Termination-Armour on Liu Ruse’s neck, a murderous intent immediately filled his cold eyes.
“The Liu family gave it to you?” Qin Muyao partially narrowed his eyes.
Liu Ruse stiffened slightly and could only nod hesitantly.
“Your previous discomfort was caused by wearing it?” Qin Muyao’s voice became very soft, but his tone sent p.r.i.c.kles down her spine.
Liu Ruse did not speak. Neither did she know how to reply.
Qin Muyao took a deep breath, gave Liu Ruse a look, and then walked towards the front door without a second word.
Liu Ruse watched Qin Muyao’s actions in fright. Her heart thumped and a strange terror spread in her heart.
Despite her physical infirmities, Liu Ruse jumped down from the bed. However, her frail body could not withstand such rough treatment. The moment her feet reached the ground, her legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground.
In a flash, Qin Muyao reached over and wrapped a hand around Liu Ruse’s waist, preventing her from falling onto the cold ground.
“Don’t…” Liu Ruse’s face was ashen. She clung desperately to the front of Qin Muyao’s robes, her pale and haggard face filled with nervousness. “Don’t look for the Liu family.”
Qin Muyao’s expression was as cold as ice. “I already warned them.”
Liu Ruse’s expression grew even more ugly. “The Liu family’s terminator has died. If I don’t agree…”
“What does the Liu family’s survival have to do with you!” Qin Muyao coldly shouted.
Liu Ruse quavered slightly. As she looked at Qin Muyao, who was filled with murderous intent, her lips trembled a little.
“Brother, I beg you, don’t… kill anymore… okay…”
