Chapter 1196: Wind Sickle
Botanical Garden, Beiyong District.
“Here I am, Brother. I’ve kept you waiting.”
In the heart of the gray sea of flowers, the twin-tailed girl in a black lolita dress perched on Envy’s throne, her face arranged into a pure smile devoid of morality. When her eyes landed on the companion beside Gao Yang, her brows furrowed.
“Brother, why is she here?” she said in irritation—or it could be disappointment.
Gao Yang stayed silent.
A layer of frost formed over Gao Xinxin’s black eyes. “Why are you here, Qing Ling?”
Qing Ling didn’t say anything, either. Clenching her fist around her Tang Dao, she remained alert.
Gao Xinxin didn’t get an answer, but she came to a conclusion on her own. She slowly rose to her feet. The gray mist covering her body quickly dissipated to reveal her colors, and the same happened to the space around her. It was as if paint had dripped onto and spread on a damp canvas.
It was the visual manifestation of her powerful energy resisting the pressure of the Three Double-Hours of Heavenly Tribulation.
Gao Xinxin scoffed. “You disappointed me, Brother.”
Face pale, Gao Yang finally spoke up, his voice brittle like ice cubes cracking in drinks, “I’ll ask you for one last time, Gao Xinxin. Is there really no turning back?”
