The dagger slid slowly and gently across his nose, pausing briefly at his neck. Xiang Wan rubbed the dagger back and forth, gradually applying pressure along his carotid artery until blood seeped through his skin.

"You know, if we poked a hole here and put in a few leeches, I wonder if they would crawl inside."

The bound man seemed not to hear anything, showing no expression whatsoever.

The dagger reached his chest, tearing open his undergarments with a sharp slash, exposing his muscular chest to the air. Xiang Wan loosely held the dagger in her hand, letting the tip drag along his chest with her movements. Occasionally, it would touch the two exposed points, and Xiang Wan would maliciously drag the dagger back and forth in circles, leaving several circular marks around them, causing the two previously limp breasts to stand erect.

Sure enough, no matter how calm this person appeared on the surface, their body language never lied. The moment the cold dagger touched their sensitive spot, they trembled. Xiang Wan glanced at them mockingly, receiving a chilling glare in return.

"Hey, don't be shy, it's normal for men to have this kind of reaction."

"snort!"

Upon hearing the heavy nasal sound, the man simply closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and furrowed his brow.

Xiang Wan came close to his ear, blew a breath into his earlobe, and said softly, "It feels more exciting not to look."

As she spoke, Xiang Wan raised the dagger half an inch away, then released it, and the cold blade suddenly shot towards the erect spot. The man felt as if he had been electrocuted; his whole body trembled, his eyes snapped open, and anger slowly spread from the depths of his eyes.

"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped."

Xiang Wan chuckled lightly, pinching the dagger hilt between her fingertips. With a slight lift, seeing him still glaring at her with hatred, she feigned surprise and released her grip, leaving a bloody gash on another vital spot in his chest. The man trembled again, his voice hoarse as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to play some Truth or Dare with you. Since you're so clueless, I had to make sure you had some interest in chatting first. What? You don't like it?" Xiang Wan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said with great interest, "If you don't like it, how about we play something else?"

As she spoke, Xiang Wan's gaze drifted to his crotch. In such a short time, he was already showing signs of erection. Ha, he reacted so quickly; if she played something more exciting, would it lead to him becoming impotent and forced to give himself to someone else in the future? Sigh, with such a magnificent physique, she wondered what kind of dominant could possibly handle him.

As he thought about it, his eyes unconsciously fixed on that spot, his gaze burning with eagerness.

"You ask, I answer."

Xiang Wan was somewhat surprised; the main course hadn't even started yet, and this guy had already surrendered. What a pity, she couldn't personally create a killer uke; what a shame.

She reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and when she looked at the man again, he looked ashamed and indignant as if he were about to die. His face was turned away and pressed against the ground, but his earlobes and neck were as red as steamed shrimp.

Xiang Wan clapped her hands regretfully, put the dagger back at her waist, moved a stool and sat down in front of the man, raised her hand and turned his chin towards her, asking, "Are you here to look for something, or to kill someone?"

The man nodded, glanced at her, and then shook his head.

What does this mean? Is he playing with her? Xiang Wan raised her foot, about to step on his vital parts.

"I'm here to find someone, or more precisely, to find a place."

"Where?"

"have no idea."

They started speaking in cryptic terms again. Xiang Wan stomped her foot on his chest and ground it down hard, then said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

"I really don't know, I only know that we need to find someone to get to that place."

"What is that place for?"

"A secret base, that's what the higher-ups told us."

"What does the person you're looking for do?"

"He is a very important person."

As Xiang Wan raised her foot to crush him again, the man quickly said, "She is my fiancée."

“Go on.”

“We were betrothed by our parents when we were young, and we haven’t seen each other since we were five. I came here this time because I heard that she was in danger, so I wanted to come and see her.”

"Do you think I'm stupid? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can never get married in your life?"

How could a trained fighter come to this godforsaken place just to find someone? You're kidding me!

This person appeared to have compromised, but in reality, he didn't reveal any useful information. It seems he's just stalling for time; there's no need for him to stay any longer.

Xiang Wan stood up, kicked the stool aside, and gripped the dagger in her hand with murderous intent, raising her hand to stab.

"Captain Zhao, what are you doing?"

Feng Yulian pushed open the door and saw Xiang Wan holding a dagger, about to stab downwards.

As soon as she spoke, Xiang Wan paused, glanced back at her, and when she turned back, the person on the ground had already rolled to the side. With a sudden effort, her hands and feet loosened.

It turned out that the man had already released his pressure points on his own, and his words just now were merely to attract her attention.

"Perfect timing! Make your move, don't let him escape."

Xiang Wan lunged at the man first, and they fought for a while, but Feng Yulian didn't move. Taking advantage of the moment they separated, Xiang Wan turned her head and was immediately furious: Feng Yulian had taken a chair and was sitting to the side, enjoying their fight.

Enraged, Xiang Wan kicked the man to the window, then turned around and smashed Feng Yulian's chair to pieces. Seeing this, Feng Yulian jumped aside, staring at her innocently.

"What are you looking at? Can't you see there's an enemy? Aren't you going to kill him for me?"

"Hey, Captain Zhao, you were having so much fun with him just now, and now you're angry and want to kill him. I'd better not get involved in your lovey-dovey argument."

Xiang Wan was so angry that she fell backwards. The man who was jumping out of the window slipped and almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Seeing that the person was about to run away, Xiang Wan threw down the words "I'll settle the score with you later," and used both hands and feet to climb over as well.

"They were having so much fun, so why are they suddenly shouting for war? I really don't understand."

Feng Yulian shook her head as she spoke, looking utterly helpless. If Xiang Wan heard her say that, she'd probably send her to meet the King of Hell sooner rather than later.

The man dodged left and right, running into the dense forest. Xiang Wan gave chase; if she didn't catch him this time, their whereabouts would be exposed, attracting even more pursuers.

The man was injured, yet he moved swiftly. Xiang Wan followed, leaving marks as she went, steadily trailing him about ten feet behind, only to find that the path he took was becoming increasingly secluded. Just as Xiang Wan was wondering what was going on, she heard a sound ahead. The man stopped, hiding behind a large tree, and turned back to wink at Xiang Wan, pointing a finger at her to be quiet.

There were people ahead, and many more. At this moment, Xiang Wan didn't want to reveal her whereabouts, so she stopped about five zhang away from him, hid behind a large tree, and used her foot to hook a pebble in her hand, pretending to knock the man unconscious. Looking up, she found the man was gone.
