The persistent old fox continued his teasing, engaging Shi Yue in battle of words until her cool demeanor finally crumbled.
With anger etched across her features, she closed the distance between them and made her declaration.
"I-I am beating you today!" she proclaimed, determination blazing in her eyes as she charged towards him, her fist poised to strike.
The audacity of his shameless words had pushed her too far. The boundaries of her patience had been breached, and she was ready to make him pay for it.
However, the old fox was quick to react, his laughter only fueling her determination. He caught her fist mid-air, preventing her blow from landing.
"You might want to think twice before trying something like this again," he advised, his laughter persisting.
Though his demeanor remained light and carefree, his words carried a unique weight that sent a shiver down Shi Yue's spine.
