In Fors's former bedroom.
"Haah~"
Na Nali yawned, then looked at Zi Ji in the iron cage, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said calmly, "Don't blame me either. This is Fors's order. If I let you fall asleep, who knows how that woman will treat me?"
"..."
Zi Ji said nothing. She merely glared fiercely at Na Nali with her reddened eyes. The corners of her eyes were red because she had gone more than ten days without sleep.
Ever since Fors had brought her to the Governor's Mansion, that woman had tormented her in all sorts of ways every day—electrocuting her, having Na Nali press herself against her, and trying all kinds of strange methods on her.
Yet even so, Zi Ji had not yielded to Fors. The pride of the Dragon Clan meant she would never submit to a human. She merely glared viciously at Na Nali, with a hint of pity in her eyes.
Zi Ji sneered. "After spending more than half a year with that woman, do you still not understand what you are to her? In her eyes, we're nothing but toys she can discard at any time. She can treat me this way today, and she can treat you the same way tomorrow."
"Evil Soul Master, once that woman gets tired of playing with me and kills me, you might be next. When that happens, perhaps your situation will be even more miserable than mine."
At those words, a shadow flashed through Na Nali's eyes, though she still said, "You needn't worry about that. At least before then, you'll die before I do, won't you?"
With that, Na Nali no longer had any interest in bickering with Zi Ji. She summoned several Wraiths to watch Zi Ji, then let her mind wander.
Fors's order
