Shen Lang's expression was complex. "I killed the other you," she said softly.
Zuo Yi's body suddenly went rigid. His voice dropped. "I know, Master."
"You don't blame me?"
Zuo Yi suddenly smiled. "I couldn't be happier. Why would I blame you?"
Shen Lang sighed softly. "A shame, though... It seems I killed the wrong one," she said faintly.
Zuo Yi's pupils constricted. "Master... What are you talking about?" he stammered.
Shen Lang suddenly grasped his fingers, studying them closely. "...Very nice," she said with a low laugh. "A pity their owner is no longer the same."
Zuo Yi's expression immediately darkened. "I don't understand what you're saying."
Shen Lang suddenly leaned in close, her cool breath brushing against his face. "Did you think," she said, enunciating each word with a soft laugh, "I would believe a single word you said?"
Zuo Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. "But everything I said is true..."
