On the loose

Liam was taken aback by Shen Yue's sudden emotional outburst. Her usual composure was absent, replaced by a vulnerability that he had rarely seen in her. He guided her to sit on a nearby rock, his expression softening as he prepared to listen.

"Talk to me, Yue. What's wrong?" His voice was gentle, encouraging her to open up about her distress.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to compose herself. "I… I made a mistake. I summoned a demon… a hell demon."

Liam's eyes widened. "A hell demon? What the hell is that?" At the same time, he also felt a little relieved. Looking at Shen Yue in tears his mind had instantly gone to many dark places but thankfully it was just about some demon.
