Chapter 612: A Conversation with a Woman...
"Mhh?" A man tucked his fingers around his chin, his green eyes sparkling as he seized Adam and Xie Lian. "An interesting pair, but barely enough to relieve my boredom."
He adjusted his golden crown, silky dark hair cascading down his broad shoulders. Intricate robes, giving the impression of being weaved from precious minerals, fluttered as he approached Xie Lian with a smile.
"Welcome to my trial room, sister. I’m the Void Palace’s second prince."
Adam frowned at the star tattooed on the man’s forehead as he waved to draw his attention.
"What’s the trial?"
However, his frown deepened when the man glanced at him, raised a brow, then refocused on Xie Lian.
"It must have been hard for you to come so far with a kid. Your courage and devotion force my admiration." He gestured to the table in the center of the sober room. "Take a seat, sister. I’m dying to know you."
Confused by the situation, Xie Lian glanced at Adam, her eyes widening. Where was the laid-back boy who smirked and grinned at the slightest occasion? Instead, she saw pulsing veins and features disfigured by wrath.
A terrible feeling gripped her heart, an icy shudder running down her spine. He wouldn’t, right? Despite her hope, she almost fainted when Adam spoke again.
"I asked you a question, you womanising piece of shit."
Like hell he’d accept being dismissed, no matter the circumstances. He snorted, returning the man’s contemptuous gaze.
