"Don't think I don't know you've been in contact with the Evil Blood Sect. We're old acquaintances. You would never hand the Rule Deceit Embryo over to them."
Qin Ruyue spoke with absolute certainty, like an old cat that had just cornered a frantic mouse in a dead-end alley.
Her words prompted Shi Mi to take a combative stance, ready for a fight to the death.
Seeing Shi Mi's stance, Qin Ruyue's tone suddenly shifted.
"The Rule Deceit Embryo can remain with you. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"The Starlight City officials are after both of us. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, I think we should consider how to deal with them together."
"You can't be willing to die here in Starlight City, can you? You must want to find a way to escape."
Qin Ruyue's words gave Shi Mi pause.
He stared intently at Qin Ruyue, scrutinizing her for the slightest change in expression.
"Why should I trust you?"
