Chapter 401: Without A Leader

"… C-Chaos? What are you talking about?" Long Yi asked, still trying to play dumb.

I sighed and folded my arms. "I hope you realize… playing dumb isn't going to work. There is no other reason you would've followed Mei Gui and I out here. You wanted to find out more about my power, didn't you?"

"…" Long Yi gritted her teeth and glared at me. "So what if I did?"

"Then… I'm going to leave you with two choices," I said calmly, holding up two fingers. "One, I kill you right here and now, since I don't want to risk you telling anyone of my power, and two…"

I leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You become bound to me."

"…!" Her face reddened as I backed away, and she looked at me in fury. "Y-You… what do you mean, bound?!"

"It's simple, really. I place a spell on you — if I get hurt, you do too, but on a far greater scale. In other words, if I take a pretty heavy injury, you'll end up dying."
