The pale blue eyes, unusually light in color, and pupils dilated in the darkness, make the back of his neck prickle.

“I’m interested in you.”

Could it be that Ian’s blood is John's blood?

“What the hell are you doing?”

“That’s why I said stop before you fall in love.”

“I don’t fall in love with prey.”

It’s not a vow. It’s just the truth.

But watching Ian smile, Jay feels like he’s sinking deeper and deeper into a pit.

Through Ian’s blue eyes, Jay can clearly see the expression he’s making. His own expression terrifies him. That is—seeing the look of concern for someone else on his own face fills him with fear he can’t bear.

“Don’t make that face.”

I think I like him.

“It’s not that bad of an injury. It just looks dramatic.”

Goddamn it.

“Jay.”

Goddamn it, goddamn it, goddamn it.

He probably likes Ian.

…No, he definitely does. <<less

How long I’d been here, I couldn’t quite recall. From this sorry situation, I as always raised my eyes to the sky; a sky in which the great, massive sun was clad in levity.

Only she and her master know that this urban legend hold some truth.

Egret, a girl who was taken in by the assassination guild at a tender age, before she could even comprehend the world around her.

System: ??????

Qiao Yan: Zhou Yu died at the age of thirty-five, Guo Jia at thirty-seven, Lu Su lived to forty-five. A strategist who laughs last lives longer than anyone else, like Sima Yi.

System: You make sense, but please put down the spear.

[Host has achieved achievement, dissuading Lu Bu from joining Dong Zhuo 1/1, progress reward has been sent to the backpack]

Qiao Yan: :)
