Hey, black cat — Your master and I have reached a truce, so what's with the growling?

Yin Yaqing stood frozen, unable to comprehend the situation before her.

Then, a surge of fury ignited within her, her eyes blazing crimson.

"You bastard—!" she spat as a sword with shinning metal blade, deadly — crackling with energy materialized in her grip, ready to strike down Zhang Wei with punishing force.

The air filled with tension as Tang Lifen's trusted subordinate unleashed a cry of alarm, startling Tang Lifen from her foggy mind.

"Qingqing, wait!" she shouted, but it was too late.

Swish!

Yin Yaqing lunged towards Zhang Wei, her intent clear and deadly.

"Haha..." Laughter rang out, a chilling contrast to the escalating conflict.

Zhang Wei, intrigued by the daringness of the young woman before him, abandoned Tang Lifen without hesitation, eager to test his newfound powers beneath the fierce gaze of Yin Yaqing.

"Huh?"
