KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Just as Sui Yuqing was focusing all her will on resisting her Heart Demon, a sudden knock echoed from the door.
"Fairy, are you all right?"
The visitor's tone was full of concern. It was a Qi Cultivator from the same Daoist Academy, who had heard the commotion and came to check.
Sui Yuqing's concentration was broken. She snapped her head up, a flash of red light glinting in her eyes.
TICK.
It was the sound of falling ash. Fortunately, the Six Spirits Calming Incense was burning quietly in the bedroom. Its thin wisps of smoke swirled, and things soon returned to normal.
Her forehead was covered in a cold sweat. She sent a voice transmission in reply:
"I'm fine... You should go back..."
But in the next second, the bright moonlight from outside the window shone directly onto Sui Yuqing.
Her pretty face instantly contorted in pain, becoming exceptionally flushed and alluring, and her pupils turned red.
