"Blood-colored Branch... truly brimming with Spiritual agility, and astonishing in its speed."
She twined a strand of gentle radiance around her fingertip, lightly brushing over the menacing barbs of the vine's surface. The vine, like a tamed venomous serpent, instantly grew docile, even affectionately nudging her fingertip.
"Although it doesn't match the main vine's vast might, it excels in agility and unpredictability, compensating for the shortcomings of close combat, perfectly suited for my needs. Gu Sheng, I truly like this gift."
She looked up at Gu Sheng, genuine mirth blossoming in her cool eyes, like ice melting into spring waters gently rippling.
With a lotus-like grace, she moved lightly in front of Gu Sheng and suddenly extended her arms, softly embracing him.
This was a brief yet gentle embrace, suffused with a cool fragrance, yet imbued with an indescribable intimacy and trust.
"Thank you."
