I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 11: Poisoned

"Give the sword to you?"

Chu Shao looked directly into Xiao Jin's eyes, with a smile on her lips. "Why?"

It was only at this moment that Chu Shao realized that she could still hear Xiao Jin's heartbeat. The rhythm was extremely regular, like the beat of an urgent drum.

At first, such a heartbeat made her feel insincere, but now, looking at Xiao Jin's forced calm eyes, she suddenly found it very interesting.

She even wanted to reach out and place her hand on Xiao Jin's heart, curious whether this area would beat even more wildly because of her proximity.

Xiao Jin didn't find it interesting at all. On the contrary, her mind was full of shock and doubt.

Since the female lead's martial arts were so high that she could instantly kill dozens of masters, why didn't she just secretly escape on the way?

She found it ridiculous and even had a speculation: perhaps Chu Shao felt that it was all the same wherever she went, so she simply didn't bother to run away.

Although Xiao Jin didn't understand Chu Shao's peculiar way of thinking, the only thing she knew was that if she couldn't give this person a convincing answer, she would probably be finished here today.

Fortunately, she had already figured out how to answer before she spoke.

Chu Shao looked directly into Xiao Jin's eyes, making her feel even more pressure.

But she was always good at lying with her eyes open. Even facing Chu Shao's gaze, she tried to shift her focus to the mole on the other's face and said calmly, "In less than the time it takes to burn incense, the Shenji Camp's cavalry will arrive at Fuhua Street."

This was the dawn of Xiao Jin's hard-fought battle with Chu Shao. As long as she could hold on for a few more minutes, she would win.

After hearing this, Chu Shao smiled, but still did not put down her sword. "I understand all that, so what?"

Chu Shao believed that her sword was faster than the Shenji Camp's cavalry, but seeing Xiao Jin's nonsense, she felt truly delighted.

Xiao Jin now was a very interesting person, more interesting than many people, so she wanted to tease her a bit more.

In the distance, dust was flying, and the faint sound of galloping horses could be heard.

Xiao Jin was overjoyed in her heart, but her face remained unchanged as she continued, "So..."

Then she reached out and gently covered Chu Shao's sword-holding hand with her palm. Her skin was covered in blood, cool and slippery, as if she had touched a barren swamp.

Xiao Jin was well aware that approaching a cold-blooded killer like her was very dangerous. But even more dangerous was that this madman was smiling and staring at her.

However, Xiao Jin had trained her psychological endurance.

The closer she was to the brink of life and death, the more calm she became. She could even feel Chu Shao's hand trembling.

So she was sure that she was looking forward to her reply.

Xiao Jin lowered her head and leaned close to Chu Shao's ear, whispering, "So these people could only have been killed by the prince. Not you, the princess."

With that, she pried open Chu Shao's fingers that were gripping the sword handle and took the bloody sword.

For a moment, Chu Shao was stunned, letting Xiao Jin take the sword from her hand.
