Chapter 27: Doomed to Die?
"Ouch!" Liang Zihan shrieked as he felt his forehead hurting. When he touched it to confirm, it was indeed red, and even a bump had appeared there. Clearly, Liora had struck him with the apple core. But with her strength, it was a little too much for him to bear.
"What? What did you say? Why can’t I be alive? Are you praying for me to be dead?" Liora asked with a baffled expression. Her hand was itching to give this fool a good beating. How dare he call her a short-lived ghost?
Now, Liora was overly sensitive about this topic. Dying once was already enough; she did not want to die again. And she certainly would never want any jinx-mouthed person to jinx her to death. She was sure someone had jinxed her in her previous life. Otherwise, how could it be possible to die just from overdrinking? She had never heard of such logic anywhere, and neither did she want to believe it.
But before she could teach this fool a lesson, a soft figure launched at her, almost tackling her to the ground. She almost flung the person into the wall but stopped herself when she realized who it was.
Zhou Yinuo clung to Liora’s body like a baby koala and started sobbing uncontrollably.
"You... you... how could you do this...? I thought... you... left us and... and sacrificed yourself for us," Zhou Yinuo said between hiccups, her small face washed with tears, her voice coming out in a broken tone.
Liora was surprised by the emotional Zhou Yinuo and did not know how to handle her. Even her question did not make sense to her.
Sacrificed myself? Liora doubted her ears, wondering if she had heard it right or not.
Soon, Liora realized what they were implying. Her eyes twitched at Zhou Yinuo’s words. She suddenly found herself tongue-tied and speechless. How could they think that she—Princess Liora—would sacrifice herself? Dream on. She scoffed in her mind.
