Xia Zihan's nails dug deeply into her palms, and her purple spiritual energy surged in her primordial sea behind her. However, when she touched Qin Luo's pale face, she swallowed back the rebuttal that was about to come out of her mouth.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth:
"Hmph! Whatever."
As she turned her head, strands of hair brushed against Qin Luo's shoulder, carrying a faint, lingering fragrance, but the resentment and grievance in her eyes were impossible to hide.
Seeing Xia Zihan's slightly trembling shoulders as she turned away, Qin Luo sighed inwardly. He knew this would happen, but Xia Zihan was no longer the obsessive and sickly girl she once was. This statement was partly a test of her reaction, to see if she would truly try to accept Yi Ting and the others.
Seeing the words on the system panel that only expressed grievance, Qin Luo finally felt relieved. He knew that as long as he patiently coaxed her, it wouldn't be impossible to resolve the situation.

Yi Ting, however, refused to move, her voluptuous figure gently rubbing against his arm with a pitiful wriggling motion, her large, watery eyes glistening with tears.
"master......"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Luo flicked his finger on his forehead. The force was light, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Seeing Qin Luo's unquestionable attitude, Yi Ting stood up dejectedly, taking three steps and then turning back to move away. Her pink lips moved incessantly, her muttering mixed with a coquettish tone:
"Master is biased! We haven't seen each other for three years either... But Ting'er isn't like some people, so jealous, always taking advantage of who came first to bully others..."
Only after their figures disappeared from Qin Luo's sight did their unwilling protests gradually dissipate into the night.
