I stared at the spot where the White Jade Hairpin was lodged in the man's heart, "Does it hurt?"
"For a man, it's just a minor wound. However, this thing seems to restrain me, and I can't pull it out." The man lowered his gaze, focusing on me, and casually touched my earlobe with his finger.
I examined it carefully; the White Jade Hairpin hadn't even pierced his heart.
This royal member of the Snake Tribe had the ability to shift organs, effortlessly evading Qing Li's strike.
Otherwise, what I needed to do now was find a chance to strike his vulnerable spot.
For now, his heart is unharmed, only a superficial wound.
It seems I'll have to wait for another opportunity to severely injure him at two critical points simultaneously. "My King, let me help you pull it out."
"Hmm, give it a try." The man casually opened his arms to me, completely unguarded.
I turned around, supporting myself with one hand on the back of a chair and placing the other on the Jade Hairpin in his chest.
