Liuli told herself that he was a fake, neither Bailing nor the little monk, and that only by killing him could she escape the illusion. She kept trying to convince herself, but in the end, her hand holding the whip trembled, and she still couldn't bring herself to strike.
Shi Chan smiled wickedly and asked, "My current appearance is the most profound impression in your heart. Do you love him?"
Liuli was taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "What is love?"
Shi Chan shook his head and chuckled, saying, "So-called love is the most useless thing in this world.

Liuli's vision went black for a moment before she could see that she was in a misty cloud. She was still in the form of a white fox, standing there with a confused look in her eyes.
