Gu Shi folded his muscular arms and threw his head back to release a booming laugh that made the bulging veins on his bald scalp throb visibly.
"Hahahaha! Su Liyue, you really are something else!"
His voice sounded like gravel.
"You sensed my Thousand Poisons Green Miasma the instant it erupted yet your first instinct was to scream a warning at that fool instead of shielding yourself."
His laughter boomed even more.
"Foolish! Utterly foolish! Hahahaha!"
It was the worst laugh you could possibly hear.
Li Qingmu's blue eyes suddenly flared bright crimson for a single second.
Killing intent pulsed off him in waves as the air around his body seemed to shimmer with heat. His teeth clenched so hard that faint wisps of steam hissed out between them as though his blood itself had reached boiling point.
Before he could open his mouth, Su Liyue weakly raised one pale hand toward him.
"It's fine, Qingmu."
She rasped, still leaning against the rock.
"I'll handle this one."
