"I've decided to spare you—at least for the moment," Shi Ji spoke, his voice calm yet laced with an undercurrent of menace as his blue eyes fixed on her.
"But I must admit, I can't resist the urge to indulge in a little more of your company. How about I introduce you to something... exhilarating? Though, I suspect it might be a challenge for you to make it out alive, I feel compelled to test your limits. Consider this your punishment for meddling in our affairs; you've gotten yourself labeled as a nuisance, human." His expression remained inscrutable, but the flicker of something deeper in his eyes hinted at the enigma he truly was—more complex than anyone dared to believe.
