Yu Ji hangs upside down in the hands of a Han army general. The jade hairpin falls from her hair, and the cold gleam of a blade reflects off her pale face.
“I hear the Overlord’s double pupils can see the secrets of heaven.” The Han general grins wickedly as he grips Yu Ji by her dark hair. “If you’re willing to gouge out those eyes, I’ll spare her life!”
A metallic taste of blood rises in Xiang Yu’s throat, but he suddenly throws back his head and laughs. Slowly, he reaches out, his fingertips brushing the blood seeping from his eye sockets. “With these eyes, I have seen the flames of war across the eight directions and witnessed every facet of life…”
Before his words are finished, a flash of cold light cuts through the air. Xiang Yu gouges out his own eyes with his bare hands. Blood gushes like a spring, and the eyeballs, each bearing two pupils, glow eerily in his palm. “Take them!” He hurls them away, his voice cracking like silk torn apart. “If any of you dare harm her, I will kill you all today!”
Yu Ji’s heart-wrenching cries mingle with the Han army’s gasps. Through the blood clouding his vision, Xiang Yu seems to see the beautiful Yu dancing once more in the Chu camp, her sword flashing in time with the swirl of her skirts…
It's really great! The story of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and Consort Yu is captivating, especially since both possess supernatural abilities. The plot is fast-paced, and I hope the author updates soon!
