But Kang Xiao just chuckled. "Nothing between us? Then how do I know about the red mole under your breast?

Yunniang, when we met in secret you were very satisfied with me. How come the minute you're out of bed, you won't own up to it?"

He wasn't afraid to tell the truth. Zhang Tianlun still needed Nanyue, so he couldn't kill Kang Xiao over a woman.

Yunniang stared at Kang Xiao with cold venom.

She knew perfectly well that this cheap bastard Kang Xiao wanted her dead.

She said it one word at a time. "Kang Xiao, you'll get what's coming to you."

Kang Xiao laughed coldly. "You won't be around to see it."

He could feel how much Yunniang hated him. If he didn't get rid of her, a woman with her methods might well see him dead one day.

Her eyes took on a slightly crazed look. "Yes, I've got a heart like a viper's nest. I'm a whore... But how are you lovers who've been in my bed any better?

I was born poor. All I wanted was to live, just to live decently... If I'd been…
