Outside the castle:
Damn it.
Hua Nuan originally just wanted Huo Zun to take the risk, but she didn't expect to implicate herself, getting involved along with him.
She was held tightly in the man's arms, rolling several times on the grass before stopping.
Hua Nuan felt somewhat dizzy and disoriented, her body, weakened by drugs, was extremely fragile. She was practically swooning.
"Are you hurt?"
Huo Zun quickly got up to check the woman's injuries. The grassy surface was relatively soft, so there were no marks of injury on Hua Nuan's body.
Her face was pale, mostly caused by the rolling.
"No."
Hua Nuan propped herself up on her arm; she could hear the cold anger in the man's words. Looking around, the ground at the castle's entrance was glistening with silver light — rows of needle tips.
Some of the needles were embedded directly into the ground, clearly showing their strength and lethality.
