Confrontation with Demonic Entities

"What's so funny?" the Demon General demanded, his voice laced with incredulity. The other demons were equally perplexed, their faces frozen in shock. How could they find humor in this precarious predicament?

Shi Ji's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Shenlian Yingyue. "You seem so calm and carefree, what's behind that mask? Are you hiding something? Or do you have some... backup?" He hesitated over the last word, unsure if he should reveal his suspicion.
