Chapter 45: Turned Traitor

"You are protecting Xue Wei?!" Li Jian asked with disbelief in his voice, but the woman just snorted. "Who wants to protect a measly human child? I pretended to make a deal with you because I had to check certain things, but now that my examinations are finished, I truly have no use for you anymore."

"I never thought that you would be so stupid as to leave the camp, but now that you have, killing you will ensure that I keep my promise."

"I don't care about keeping promises to humans. On the other hand, killing you should make me feel some joy."

The woman was talking slowly, but Li Jian felt his blood turn cold, and the world started distorting around him as he got dizzy.

"I need to escape!" Li Jian yelled as he turned on his heels and started running away. Though the moment he tried taking his first step, he felt a strange pressure pushing him, keeping him in the same position and same place as before. It was impossible to move.

"Think you can already leave?" the woman grinned. "You should have already realized that I am a Primordial Beast. Anyone who has seen my human appearance has to die!"

"I cannot afford to lose my cover as a young rich lady from the middle of the continent. Fortunately, I was wearing that ridiculous outfit whenever the others saw me, so you are the only one who has seen my beauty."

"Still, I am not sure if I should let the others be. Oh well, I will decide on that later. First, I have to deal with you."

"Now, if I just kill you, I will get hunted down by your father. That would prove rather troublesome, so I will need you to make a testimony and sign it with your blood."

"I have pen and paper here. Now write everything you have done, every agreement you made with me, and that you were aware that I was a Primordial Beast, but you did not hesitate to make the deal anyway."

"Also, make sure that you do not describe my appearance. If you do, you will suffer greatly."

"If you do not write this testimony, then you will also suffer terribly. But if you write it, I will let you die so fast that you won't even notice the pain."

Li Jian was shivering and scared. He knew that there was no way to escape. He had invited this calamity, and now he had to face the consequences.

He regretted. He regretted so much that his insides turned green, but although he regretted, he could not change the past.

Gritting his teeth, he picked up the pen and paper. He was afraid of death, but he was even more-so afraid of dying in pain. Li Jian did not doubt for a moment that when this Primordial Beast said that she would make him suffer, his life would become a living hell.

"Who cares about honor when I am dead?" Li Jian asked himself as he began to write. He wrote exactly what the woman had asked him to write, the entire experience, but he did not dare leave even hints to the woman's appearance or gender. He feared that she would look for a reason to punish him.

As soon as he finished, Li Jian cut his finger with a nail and pressed a bloody fingerprint on the paper. A light shone, and then the paper seemed to dry the bloody fingerprint on top of it.

The woman waved her hand, and a small breeze appeared that made the testimony fly from Li Jian's hand to the woman's.

"Thank you," she grinned. A moment later, the entire area froze. Ice appeared from underneath the woman, and everything it touched was frozen within seconds.

Li Jian looked at this frost and its rapid advance. His heart was beating fast, and he knew that his death had arrived.

Moments after, a scream escaped his lips and then frost grounded his feet to the soil. His legs froze moments after, and following th
