Chapter 155 Who are you?
The atmosphere had already been set to this point, and Xinghan thought that if something as small as a confession happened, he would just reluctantly agree to it.
Although there are thousands of beauties in the Fengxing world, there is only one Bi Cang King Shen Li after all!
It's a rare phoenix that only appears once in a lifetime, so he didn't lose out.
Xinghan's smile froze on his face. The sudden feeling of suffocation instantly pulled him out of his gentle fantasy. A hint of astonishment and confusion flashed in his eyes.
Then, his eyes fell on Shen Li's hand, which was like a knife, tightly holding his neck. That hand was firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation or wavering, which made Xinghan realize instantly that Shen Li was really determined to kill him, and it was definitely not a joke.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart, and all frivolity and jokes disappeared at this moment.
Who is Shen Li?
King Bi Cang!
His fighting power is considered to be the second strongest in the Fengxing world.
Each of her movements contained a strength and determination that could not be underestimated. The fact that she took action meant that things had gone beyond his expectations and beyond his control.
However, he didn't quite understand how he had offended Shen Li?
Xinghan tried to find a clue or a turning point in Shen Li's eyes.
However, Shen Li's eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could see through people's hearts, making none of his thoughts escape his notice.
He spoke with difficulty, his voice becoming hoarse due to the pressure: "Shen Li, why are you...?"
Shen Li's hands were as steady as a rock, her eyes were as cold as frost, and her voice was without a trace of emotion:
"Give me a reason not to kill you."
Xinghan tried to calm his breathing and tried to make his voice sound more sincere: "I saved you, this is the truth."
Shen Li sneered, and applied a little force with her fingers, and a red mark suddenly appeared on Xinghan's neck: "It was Maoqiu who saved me. Its bravery and sacrifice are beyond the reach of you and me."
Xinghan frowned, trying to find the next thing to say: "Then... there is no hatred between us, why is it like this?"
Shen Li's eyes became even colder, as if they could penetrate people's hearts:
"That's not a reason, Xinghan. In this chaotic world, survival is already difficult, and the word hatred is too luxurious."
Xinghan felt an unprecedented crisis, and he had to come up with a reason that would convince Shen Li. With a flash of inspiration, he uttered a few words with difficulty:
"Because... you have no reason to kill me."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Li's movements paused slightly, as if she was touched by something.
But soon, she raised a playful smile: "Oh? Are you saying that I can't find a legitimate excuse to kill you? Then you are wrong. I, Shen Li, do not need others' approval to act."
Xinghan's heart trembled, but he did not give up. He knew that he had to be more direct at this time:
"No, Shen Li. I mean, there is no need for killing between us. You have doubts, hatred, and perhaps unsolved mysteries in your heart, but these should not be reasons for you to hurt innocent people. And I am willing to be the key to untie your knot, as long as you can give me a chance."
Shen Li's expression became complicated, and she seemed to be weighing something.
Finally, she slowly loosened her grip, but she did not completely let down her guard:
"You are hiding something, Xinghan. I can feel that you have a secret from me and from this world. But..."
She changed the subject, her tone showing a bit more scrutiny and expectation:
"If you can really help me solve the mystery as you said, then I can pretend that what happened today never happened. But remember, my patience is limited. If you dare to betray me, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Shen Li suddenly turned around, staring at Xinghan with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, how do you know that I am Shen Li, the King of Bi Cang?"
Xinghan's heart trembled, but he remained calm on the surface. He forced a slightly exaggerated smile and replied:
"Master Shen Li's reputation is as loud as thunder and resounds throughout the Three Realms. Although I am not talented, even ordinary people know that the phoenix is a sign of good fortune, and the most praised phoenix in the Three Realms is none other than Master Shen Li. Although I am dull, how could I make a mistake in the appearance of the phoenix?"
Shen Li frowned slightly when she heard this, and was obviously not satisfied with Xinghan's answer. She snorted coldly and said:
"I will trust you for now. But next, you need to answer my question truthfully - who are you?"
Xinghan thought to himself that this was not good, but he still pretended to be sincere on the surface and said slowly:
"I am just an ordinary cultivator in this vast world, with mediocre talent and shallow cultivation. I have been an orphan since I was a child, helpless and helpless. I have been wandering among various major sects, but I have never been able to find a place to settle down. This time I met Master Shen Li by chance, which is really a great honor. I only hope that Master can have mercy on me and take me in, so that I can serve under Master. Even if I am just a servant, it is a thousand times better than the days of wandering without support."
As he spoke, Xinghan deliberately squeezed out a few tears, trying to increase the credibility of his words.
However, Shen Li's expression did not relax at all, but became even more solemn.
She stared into Xinghan's eyes, as if she wanted to see through every corner of his heart.
The moment Shen Li questioned Xinghan, the "hand knife" in her hand seemed to condense endless cold air, which made people shudder.
However, after Xinghan's somewhat far-fetched explanation, a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction flashed in Shen Li's eyes, but she did not attack immediately. Instead, she slowly put down the knife that was about to touch Xinghan's throat.
There was an indescribable tension and depression in the air, as if even the air around them had solidified.
Shen Li's movement of turning around seemed extremely decisive. She turned her back to Xinghan, as if she was thinking about some important issue, or looking for a suitable answer to respond to her inner doubts.
However, at this moment, Shen Li suddenly turned around again. Her movements were so fast, like lightning across the night sky, catching everyone off guard.
This time, her eyes were sharper than before, as if she could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
She raised her hand again, but this time, her hand did not turn into a knife. Instead, it hovered in the air in a more majestic posture, as if it would fall down at any time and give Xinghan the most severe punishment.
"Speak!" Shen Li's voice was as cold as ice. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of unquestionable majesty. "How did you know my identity? What unspeakable secrets are hidden behind you?"
Xinghan's heart suddenly tightened. He could feel the powerful pressure emanating from Shen Li. It was the aura unique to a strong man, enough to make anyone bow down before him.
He knew he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and try to explain again:
"Master Shen Li, I... I swear, I have absolutely no ill intentions, and I have no intention of doing anything bad."
