Among those present, perhaps only Dugu Luoxue was aware of the relationship between Luo Wanqing and Jiang Shouzhong.
So when faced with Luo Wanqing's teasing, the others simply thought it was casual banter.
Yet even so, the gaze Ran Qingchen cast toward her carried traces of cold hostility.
"What? Are you looking for a fight?"
Luo Wanqing's crimson lips parted lightly as she spoke, her tone filled with provocation and disdain. "This palace truly wants to experience the true strength of the infamous Asura Queen."
Her golden gown fluttered fiercely in the swirling air, and with every movement, it seemed to radiate glimmers of gold.
"Young mistress?"
Just as the tense atmosphere was on the verge of exploding, a joyful voice suddenly rang out.
Jinxiu, who had followed behind Luo Wanqing, stood panting at the doorway. When she saw Ran Qingchen, the young girl couldn't believe her eyes and froze in place.
In that instant, Jinxiu's face was overtaken with a surge of ecstatic joy.
