Chapter 237: Achilles heel
Muyang indulgently shook his head and tightened his hold on her. His little minx certainly knew how to assuage him expertly. She had mollified his anger within a few seconds, how could he fail to make such a promise. All he had been trying to do was scare her, perhaps he had gone too far.
"I am sorry; I won’t ever do any those things again." He said softly. He gently caressed her hair as he made that promise. "But it doesn’t mean that I won’t punish you if this ever happens again. You are only escaping today because of those tears."
Chi Lian smiled slyly, she would simply cry again next time to avoid the punishment. Now that she knew it was his Achilles heel, she would exploit it to get herself out of trouble whenever possible.
"I am really sorry too; I will be more forth coming from now on." She really meant these words; she was going to be as honest with him about the threats to their family as much as she could.
"By the way, I got you something." She pulled herself out of his embrace and gave him the gene editing serum.
Muyang looked at the vial with a blue liquid with a little frown on his face. He knew that things which came from her were always special, this was probably special too. He took the vial from her and he shook it from left to right. With the way he was doing it, all that was missing was glasses and a white gown to make him look like one of those lab scientists.
"What is it?" he asked.
"It’s a gene editing serum, taking it will increase your strength, speed, vision...." she recounted what T4 had told her.
As she was talking and counting the benefits of taking the serum off of her fingers, she missed to see the stunned look on Muyang’s face. His eyes were blinking continuously, his eyes were wide open and so was his mouth.
