Qin Feng's consciousness withdrew from the system space. The nerves that had just relaxed amid soft warmth and tender jade instantly tightened like iron.
The tenderness in his deep eyes receded like a tide, replaced by an icy killing intent capable of freezing time and space.
The Three Xiao in his arms noticed the change immediately.
That soaring dominance and overwhelming force made their bodies stiffen slightly.

Yun Xiao raised her cool, breathtakingly beautiful face, her lovely eyes filled with confusion and worry.
She could not understand why the man who had been tenderly teasing them only a moment ago had suddenly begun radiating such a terrifying aura.
