On the Reversal Cliff, I stared at the guards across from me, watching me like predators, and at Li Yan's sanctimonious face. The unbearable scenes of the past came back to me, and I wanted nothing more than to tear his flesh and gnaw on his bones. I had never imagined that anyone in this world could be so shameless! Thinking back over every moment of the past six months, my eyes reddened and my nose stung. It felt as though an invisible hand had gripped my heart so tightly I could barely breathe. I raised my head and forced back the tears about to spill from my eyes. Gripping the arm of the person in front of me with one hand, I tightened my hold on the dagger in my right and pressed it against her chin.
"Yunshang, let Lin'er go and come with me."
