The man hadn't realized who was threatening him, Fu Xie Lan's movements were so fast that Qian Cheng couldn't see clearly, coupled with the dim light coming from the lantern in the room.
"What do you want?" Qian Cheng asked in a trembling voice.
"What's your goal in capturing and chaining the creature?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"What creature?"
"Don't pretend you don't know!!" the girl retorted slightly pressing her dagger against Qian Cheng's neck and managed to cause a stinging sensation as the sharp part of the object sliced through his skin.
"Someone wants it," he answered immediately.
"Who?"
"I-I don't know, he suddenly came to me the other day and told me to snatch that creature from some people."
"R-really, I didn't know. Please let me go," Qian Cheng added again.
