[What are you talking about? Don't you know your senior brother?] the Empress asked.
|| What's that? || Li Yao asked, confusion in her voice.
[You don't know Xiang Yu?] the Empress asked again.
Li Yao was about to finish off Tianling but paused, her sword raised midway.
|| Xiang Yu? Senior brother? || she murmured softly. || Senior brother is… || Her voice suddenly wavered, growing uncertain. || Senior brother? No way... he... he... he doesn't exist. ||
Suddenly, her eyes lost their bright glow and she returned to her complete form. She clutched her head and dropped to her knees. "No way..." she whispered, then started mumbling words that made no sense.
Tianling saw this chance and decided to use it to recover. Dark tentacles sprouted from her upper half and reached desperately for her severed lower body.
But just as they were about to reconnect, Xiang Yu appeared, no, two of him appeared.
One grabbed Li Yao and instantly vanished.
