Chapter 4346
Kai made his way towards the woman, reaching out in an attempt to pull off her mask!
With her stunning figure and flawless, pale skin, it was only natural to assume that her beauty matched her appearance!
When the woman noticed Kai’s intention to unmask her, she was taken aback. In a swift motion, she slashed the air with her longsword, creating a web of sharp blades that effectively blocked his advance while she quickly retreated!
She could not let Kai remove her mask; it held a secret known only to her. As long as she wore it, she could inspire awe, but she feared that if it were taken off, Kai would be utterly shocked!
But just as the woman began to pull back, Kai flicked his hand, effortlessly slicing through her barrier of swords, leaving him free to close in on her!
“If you come any closer, I will kill you…”
The woman exclaimed, her grip on the longsword tightening in shock!
However, Kai seemed unfazed by her threat, determined to unmask her!
In response, the woman swung her sword at Kai, but he countered with his Dragon Cutting Sword!
Clang!
A sharp sound echoed as the woman’s longsword shattered unexpectedly!
This left the woman utterly stunned; she knew her sword was a prized weapon, capable of cutting through iron with ease, yet here it lay broken?
In her moment of disbelief, Kai had already reached her!
Without hesitation, he lunged for the woman’s mask!
The woman reacted swiftly, dropping her broken sword in an attempt to strike Kai, but he seized her wrist, holding her firmly!
She twisted and turned, but found herself unable to escape his grip!
Kai pulled her closer, his other hand moving toward her mask!
“Please, don’t…”
The woman pleaded, panic rising in her voice as she begged him not to remove it!
Kai hesitated, then coldly asked, “Why do you care so much about the mask? Are you afraid I’ll see you as an ugly monster?”
Anger flared within the woman upon hearing this. “You’re the ugly one! My looks may not match a fairy’s, but I can still captivate thousands of men!”
Just as she finished speaking, Kai swiftly pulled off her mask!
The moment it came off, he froze!
Half of her face was grotesque, marred by scars that were clearly from burns!
Yet the other half was smooth and delicate, revealing that she was indeed a beauty!
“Oooooooo…”
As the mask fell away, the woman broke down in tears!
In shock, Kai released her, not expecting such a revelation, nor the pain beneath her exquisite exterior!
Flustered, he struggled to find the right words to comfort her!
Yet, as he gazed at her familiar features, he realized he recognized her, though he couldn’t place where from!
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to… I had no idea it would turn out like this,” he stammered.
“I wasn’t spying on you; I had no idea anyone was here, let alone someone without clothes!”
“This is all a misunderstanding. Please, don’t cry! I promise I won’t tell anyone about you,” he urged, trying his best to reassure her!
But the woman remained crouched on the ground, her face hidden as she continued to weep, ignoring him completely!
Realizing he needed to move on, Kai prepared to leave the island, knowing he had more pressing matters to attend to, like helping Zhu Qing Yue and returning her to Xiao Dynasty!
Just as he was about to depart, the woman called out to him, “You’ve seen my body, and now my unfortunate face, and you think you can just walk away?”
