'No, Eldest Brother, what you just said is giving me the creeps!'
'There really is one?!'
She didn't have time to ponder what this "surprise" could be before her vision blurred. A black shadow shot straight for her face.
Su Ling'er instinctively tried to retreat and block, but it was too fast!
She felt something catch in her throat. An object was forced in, then slid down her esophagus.
A nauseating sensation spread through her stomach.
"BLECH—"
Su Ling'er doubled over on the spot and began to retch violently, tears streaming from her eyes.
'What was that?!'
'What was that thing just now?!'
'What did Eldest Brother make me eat?! That texture, that taste... it was like swallowing a metal-plated cockroach that had been soaking in a gutter for three days!'
'What kind of sin did I commit to deserve this kind of reward?'
'Did I screw something up again recently?'
