Chapter 60: Stuck Inside the Portal.
"Did you think she'd last even a minute? A human like this… is not even worth the trouble." The smile widened. "It looks like… you were dead wrong."
He removed his foot off jiejie and turned to me, saying nothing but immediately rushed with his claws reaching for my head.
Thump–! Thump! RINGGG—!
I pulled my head back inside the portal and immediately stumbled backward.
"Hah... hah..."
My heart wouldn't stop pounding.
Every breath felt too short. Too fast.
He… almost grabbed the mask. If I had been a second slower… then I would've broken my promise to jiejie and they would've known what I looked like.
"Jiejie..."
My voice cracked.
"Jiejie... no..."
The image refused to leave my mind.
The demon's smile.
The way his foot rested on Nuo Lin jiejie's body.
The way he looked at me as if her life meant nothing.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
