There were many things Kali could request and Bai Zemin was really going to give his all to grant it. At the end of the day, just as she had said, he was a stubborn and proud person.
Not only did Bai Zemin not like to feel in debt to other people but he also did not like to feel that he had somehow 'abused' the knowledge or power of others. Just as with Lilith in the beginning, he was going to help her so that he could be on equal footing although that had now changed and he was going to help her because she was the woman he loved.
As for Kali... The girl was a complete enigma to Bai Zemin.
When she opened her small mouth and her pale lips moved, her monotone voice but that seemed to contain a tinge of pleading or maybe that was Bai Zemin's imagination rang out as she made her request.
