The woman from Su Country, lying on the ground, managed to utter a single word in English with her remaining consciousness, "No."
She didn't want to die, yes, she vaguely heard the old man say he was going to strangle her.
She wanted to get up, wanted to escape, but she didn't have a shred of strength.
Gu Xia took the whip, took a deep breath.
If strangling this woman in front of Kadan could more easily gain his trust.
It would provide more opportunities to make a move, increasing the chances of success, but Gu Xia was ultimately not a killer; she wasn't that cold-blooded.
She wouldn't strike down an innocent woman so ruthlessly, for being human, you must have compassion.
This was a vibrant life, not a mere cat or dog.
So after Gu Xia took the whip, she seemingly bent down towards the woman, but in reality, she directly attacked Kadan's calf.
Gu Xia was already fast, and her strikes were very precise.
It should have been a hit in one go, but... Kadan agilely dodged it.
