Chapter 1188 - 097 Apple Blossom (Sixth Watch)
But who among them was still in the mood to listen to her talk about exotic mountain and sea delicacies? All their gazes were riveted on the dagger and the red apple, watching as the dagger peeled the bright red apple. They suddenly began to fantasize, unbidden, about what it would be like if the dagger were plunged into flesh—would the bright red blood also drip down like apple juice? And the skin, would it be peeled off layer by layer like apple peels?
Before they could even fantasize about their own flesh, someone already couldn’t bear it, covered their mouth, and ran outside to vomit violently.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan continued to focus solely on the apple in her hand, sharply carving the flesh and peeling the skin with the dagger.
Her nonchalant demeanor enchanted everyone watching. The bright dagger slid back and forth between her pale, slender fingers, and the apple flesh fell away effortlessly.
Su Qiuyu stared fixedly at the dagger in her hand, her brows furrowed into a tangled mess. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and a scene from many years ago flashed before her eyes.
"Big brother, why are you so happy today?" Seeing the exuberant Su Tianrui, twelve-year-old Su Qiuyu was both curious and excited.
Su Tianrui affectionately ruffled his little sister’s hair, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Little sister, you don’t know. Xia Zheng got his hands on a dagger from who knows where, and it can slice through iron as if it were mud!"
Su Qiuyu was not interested in the dagger, but hearing that it belonged to Xia Zheng, she also asked with interest, "Really? Is it amazing? Brother Zheng must be thrilled!"
