But as soon as the words left her mouth, her fire fox dropped dead, and its body was tossed at her feet.
Liu Mei roared,
"Su Ye, you dare?!"
Su Ye lowered her gaze, her voice calm.
"This isn't a question of daring. I'm simply killing you before you can kill me."
Then, the withered tree behind Liu Mei suddenly burst into lush growth.
SQUELCH.
A newly grown branch shot out, piercing straight through Liu Mei's chest.
Liu Mei's eyes remained wide in death, fixed on the person before her. But she was no longer breathing.
Su Ye stood there and watched until Liu Mei had taken her last breath.
Only then did she look away.
After scanning her surroundings, she turned to the Golden Crow.
"Where are the people who brought me here?"
The moment she spoke, the Golden Crow lashed out with a loud CRACK, flinging the main doors open.
The doorway was already empty.
With a WHOOSH, the Golden Crow appeared before Su Ye, its voice high and child-like.
"Master, Master!"
