The woman was a bit stunned, evidently not understanding the implicit meaning behind those words. Her grip unconsciously loosened, and Hua Xiaomai quickly dodged to the side, breaking free from her clutches. She hastily rubbed her wrist, which was nearly numb, and took a sharp, quiet intake of breath.
Had her grip continued for a moment longer, the blood in her body might have begun to run in reverse!
With her hand now empty, the woman immediately tried to pounce again, but Hua Xiaomai was more agile. Dodging to the side, she turned her head and said, "Little Mouse, shut the courtyard door and fetch me two sticks while you're at it."
"What for? You want to hit me?" The woman's eyes bulged as she bellowed at the top of her lungs.
