Chapter 40: I Am the True Tiger
Sun Ninghu did not speak.
His breathing grew heavier, his chest heaving violently. Two clusters of fire burned in his light brown eyes, a mix of shock and fear.
His legs trembled slightly, as if he were trying with all his might to suppress the urge to turn and flee for his life.
"My Lord, this servant is under the command of County Princess Yunhe..."
Qiu Chihu said nothing. He rested his hand on the hilt of his saber.
The blade slowly left its sheath.
The blade was extremely long, over a chi longer than an ordinary Goose-Quill Saber.
Its spine was thick, but its edge was incredibly thin—thin as a cicada's wing, gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the sun.
Faint silver patterns flowed along the steel, trailing from hilt to tip like a silver snake coiled around the blade, spitting cold light.
