When death was close at hand, Mengya became incredibly... cowardly.
"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! And I'm willing to do anything! Just spare my worthless little life, esteemed ones!" she blurted out in a remarkably fluent Human Universal Language that almost had no accent, which surprised Vera and her companions.
They had actually prepared to use a precious telepathy scroll for interrogation, but it seemed now that it wouldn't be necessary.
With a great effort, Mengya widened her already watery eyes to make them appear even more pitiful in fear and pleading, staring directly at Vera in an attempt to evoke even a sliver of compassion in this human's heart.
If that curved saber stayed on her neck any longer, she might wet herself in fear.
"Beware of charm!" Fei Yin dashed forward, throwing a small handful of disturbing dust into Mengya's eyes.
