心中如此想着，林轩伸出右手，只见灵光闪烁，一柄尺许长的短剑出现了，造型与原来的魔缘剑完全不同，噬灵剑根本就是另外一件宝物。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan extended his right hand. A short sword about a foot long appeared with a flicker of light. Its shape was entirely different from the original Soul-Sucking Sword; in fact, it seemed to be an entirely separate treasure.
gǔ piáo què bìng bù pǔ sù ， yī gǔ huá lì bà dào de qì shì pèi rán ér chū 。
古朴却并不朴素，一股华丽霸道的气势沛然而出。
The sword was ancient yet not plain, exuding a majestic and luxurious aura.
“ zhè ……”，”
“这……”，”
"This…"
yán láng zūn zhě de liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn jǐng tì zhī sè， yǐ tā nà hào zhàn zì dà de xìng gé ， dòu fǎ jīng yàn zì shì fēi cháng fēng fù ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ， sì hū yǐ kàn chū lín xuān shǒu zhōng de shì líng jiàn fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
炎狼尊者的脸上流lù出几分警惕之sè，以他那好战自大的xìng格，斗法经验自是非常丰富，眼睛微眯，似乎已看出林轩手中的噬灵剑非同小可。
Flames appeared on Immortal Flame Wolf’s face as he showed signs of caution. Given his combative and self-important nature, his combat experience was quite rich. He narrowed his eyes slightly, already sensing that the Soul-Sucking Sword in Lin Xuan's hand was no ordinary weapon.
lín jǐng què shí bèi tā rě máo le 。
林井确实被他惹毛了。
Lin Xuan had indeed been provoked.
xiān qīng rǔ kǒng què ， suí hòu yòu ràng zì jǐ chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ ， lín xuān nǎ shì néng rěn qì tūn shēng de zhǔ ér ， lǎo hǔ bù fā wēi ” nǐ zhēn dāng zì jǐ shì bìng māo le 。
先轻辱孔雀，随后又让自己吃了不小的苦，林轩哪是能忍气吞声的主儿，老虎不发威”你真当自己是病猫了。
First, he had belittled the Peacock, then caused him significant trouble. Lin Xuan wasn’t one to swallow his pride and let things slide; if a tiger didn't show its teeth, it would be treated as a sick cat.
jiù suàn zhè lǎo jiā huǒ yǒu xiē nán chán yòu rú hé ， fǎ bǎo qí chū ， lín xuān hái zhēn bù xìn miè bù liǎo tā le 。
就算这老家伙有些难缠又如何，法宝齐出，林轩还真不信灭不了他了。
Even if this old man was difficult to deal with, he still believed that by using all of his treasures, he could take down the old man. However, the Five Dragon Seal couldn’t be used. Last time, when battling Ice Spirit Demon Sovereign, the silver light points in his body had been depleted, leaving him unable to use it now.
dāng rán ， wǔ lóng lěi shì bù néng yòng de ， qiě bù shuō shàng cì duì zhàn bīng pò mó zǔ ， tǐ mǎo nèi de yín sè guāng diǎn xiāo hào yī kōng ， xiàn zài yě méi yǒu huī fù ， ér méi yǒu yín sè guāng diǎn ， wǔ lóng kuí jiù shì bǎi shè ， zì jǐ gēn běn yì shǐ bù dòng de 。
当然，五龙垒是不能用的，且不说上次对战冰魄魔祖，体冇内的银sè光点消耗一空，现在也没有恢复，而没有银sè光点，五龙奎就是摆设，自己根本役使不动的。
For several hundred years, the Chaos Demon Qi had been a nightmare, separating Lin Xuan from Yu Yu. He had researched many ancient texts on this subject. The Chaos Demon Qi was the most primitive and purest demon qi, much like the difference between ordinary demonic qi and True Demon’s qi.
hé kuàng ， jiù suàn néng yòng tā yě bù gǎn yòng ， zhè dōng xī de lái lì tài guò shén mì ， lián bīng pò mó zǔ dōu yī fù dà liú kǒu shuǐ de yàng zi ， xiǎn rán zài líng jiè yě shì dǐng ér jiān ér de bǎo wù ， bīng pò mó zǔ yǐ jīng gòu ràng zì jǐ tóu téng de le ， rú guǒ zài jīng dòng bí lóng jiè de shén me dà néng cún zài ， ràng tā yě duì cǐ bǎo xīn huái kǎi yú ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì kū dōu méi yǒu dì fāng kū qù 。
何况，就算能用他也不敢用，这东西的来历太过神秘，连冰魄魔祖都一副大流口水的样子，显然在灵界也是顶儿尖儿的宝物，冰魄魔祖已经够让自己头疼的了，如果再惊动鼻龙界的什么大能存在，让他也对此宝心怀凯觎，自己岂不是哭都没有地方哭去。
True Demon's qi was said to be possessed by only nine True Demon Ancestors, while lesser ancient demon sages could manipulate some but it was always fragmented.
lín xuān bù shǎ ” zhè wǔ lóng xǐ shì qīng yì bù néng dòng de a ！
林轩不傻”这五龙玺是轻易不能动的啊！
Similarly, not all demon races could possess Chaos Demon Qi. Yu Yu had a tiny bit in her body, inherited from their bloodline, and she wasn’t powerful enough to command the Chaos Demon Qi.
zhǐ yǒu zuò wéi zuì hòu yā xiāng dǐ de bǎo wù ， chú fēi shì wàn bù dé yǐ ，xìng mìng suí shí yǐ yào diū qù cái néng dòng yòng xī kè dí 。
只有作为最后压箱底的宝物，除非是万不得已，xìng命随时已要丢去才能动用牺克敌。
Even if she couldn't, most of the great demon existences in the Dragon禁界, like the Three Demon Kings, could only manipulate fragmented Chaos Demon Qi.
hǎo zài jí shǐ bù yòng wǔ lóng jiàn ， zhè shì líng jiàn yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě zhī wù ， lín xuān xiāng xìn quán lì shī zhǎn jiù suàn bù néng jiāng yán láng zūn zhě miè chú ， yě zú gòu tā hē yī hú 。
好在即使不用五龙鉴，这噬灵剑也是非同小可之物，林轩相信全力施展就算不能将炎狼尊者灭除，也足够他喝一壶。
In the spirit realm, there was another entity that couldn't command Chaos Demon Qi: True Souls!
tā zài lì hài nán dào hái néng lì hài guò bīng pò mó zǔ ？
他再厉害难道还能厉害过冰魄魔祖？
Phoenixes and colorful dragons were essentially part of the demon race. They wielded the purest form of Chaos Demon Qi.
bù gěi tā diǎn jiào xùn zhēn dāng běn shào yé hǎo qī fù ， lín xuān zhè yī cì shì dòng le zhēn huǒ 。
不给他点教训真当本少爷好欺负，林轩这一次是动了真火。
True Souls weren’t just limited to phoenixes and colorful dragons; in the Dragon禁界, a top-tier interface, True Soul existences could be seen. However, Lin Xuan’s luck was truly unprecedented. Just as he had successfully broken through the void, trouble followed him like a shadow. First came Immortal Flame Wolf, now there was even a True Soul involved.
shì líng jiàn bèi tā wò dé jǐn jǐn de ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， zhèng xiǎng yào wǎng lǐ miàn zhù rù fǎ lì ， kōng jiān què yǒu yì diǎn yì dòng jìn rù dào le tā de shí hǎi lǐ 。
噬灵剑被他握得紧紧的，林轩深深呼吸，正想要往里面注入法力，空间却有一点异动进入到了他的识海里。
While dealing with Immortal Flame Wolf wasn’t much of an issue, Lin Xuan had been caught off guard by his combat style. However, he hadn’t suffered severe injuries; he could use all his treasures to defeat him if the opportunity arose.
“ zhè shì ……”，”
“这是……”，”
But at that moment, Chaos Demon Qi appeared.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ” máng xiàng nà yì dòng fā yuán zhī chù zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， suí hòu liǎn shàng jiù lù chū le jīng yí zhī sè。
林轩眉头一挑”忙像那异动发源之处转过头颅，随后脸上就lù出了惊疑之sè。
Its scale was vast and terrifying, clearly not a mere fragment like hún spirits. It was… the True Soul itself.
yán láng zūn zhě yǔ kǒng què sì hū yě fā xiàn le shén me ” tóng yàng mǎn liǎn yí huò de jiāng mù guāng tòu guò 。
炎狼尊者与孔雀似乎也发现了什么”同样满脸疑huò的将目光透过。
What a joke! The existence of a True Soul meant it was the famous playboy of the spirit realm, Immortal Dragon. Facing a True Soul would be a 50-50 chance for him; he couldn’t handle overly powerful ones. Even when True Phoenix and True Rainbow Dragon came into the world, they could only look on helplessly as the Three Demon Kings fought against scattered immortals.
“ tiān nǎ ” nà shì shén me ？”
“天哪”那是什么？”
However, if it wasn’t an extremely powerful True Soul like Golden Bright True Toad, Immortal Dragon would still be able to handle them; after all, he was a True Soul existence too. But he couldn’t compare to Immortal Dragon, who was a late-stage Great Sage.
kǒng què shī shēng jīng hū ， yào xiǎo de ， tā kě bú shì yī jīng yī zhà de nǚ zǐ ， zuò wéi yī fāng yāo shòu lǐng zhǔ ， suī rán fēng làng méi yǒu jiàn guò ， zhǐ bù guò yǎn qián de yí mù tài jīng rén le 。
孔雀失声惊呼，要晓得，她可不是一惊一乍的女子，作为一方妖兽领主，虽然风浪没有见过，只不过眼前的一幕太惊人了。
The gap between them was unquantifiable; one flick of Immortal Dragon’s thumb could send Lin Xuan to his doom.
zhǐ jiàn yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， chū xiàn le yī dào hēi xiàn ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， wú biān wú jì ， hēi xiàn fù jìn de kōng jiān ， dōu zài tān tā niǔ qū 。
只见远处的天边，出现了一道黑线，放眼望去，无边无际，黑线附近的空间，都在坍塌扭曲。
Immortal Dragon would dare face a True Soul, but Lin Xuan wouldn’t have the courage to do so. He had only one option: flee or die where he stood.
“ zhè shì ……， hùn dùn yāo qì ！”， lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， tóng yàng shì jīng hài yǐ jí ， hùn dùn yāo qì tā qǐ huì rèn bù dé ， kǒng què shuō guò ， jiù shì yīn wèi zhè dōng xī ， ràng rén yāo shū tú ， jí shǐ bǐ cǐ ài liàn yě bù néng chéng wéi fū qī 。
“这是……，混沌妖气！”，林轩脸上的表情，同样是惊骇以极，混沌妖气他岂会认不得，孔雀说过，就是因为这东西，让人妖殊途，即使彼此爱恋也不能成为夫妻。
Although he didn’t know what kind of entity this True Soul was, why it had come here, and that it wasn’t for him, it didn’t matter. The city gates burning would inevitably affect nearby areas.
dāng rán ， rú jīn tā yǐ jīng bù rù dào le dòng xuán qī ， kǒng què tǐ mǎo nèi de nà yì diǎn diǎn hùn dùn yāo qì ， zì rán zài yě duì tā xíng bù chéng shén me chè zhǒu dì 。
当然，如今他已经步入到了洞玄期，孔雀体冇内的那一点点混沌妖气，自然再也对他形不成什么掣肘地。
Compared to the other party, Lin Xuan was too weak. He didn’t want to die in such a mysterious way.
bù guò zài guò qù de jǐ bǎi nián lǐ ， hùn dùn yāo qì kě shì è mèng ， shēng shēng de ràng zì jǐ yǔ yú yú fēn lí 。
不过在过去的几百年里，混沌妖气可是噩梦，生生的让自己与娱娱分离。
Even if the True Soul was just passing through, he was merely an ant in its eyes; any unexpected event could lead to his demise.
lín xuān dāng nián xiǎng yào pò jiě cǐ wù ， yě chá guò bù shǎo diǎn jí 。
林轩当年想要破解此物，也查过不少典籍。
In a moment, that vast expanse of Chaos Demon Qi drew closer, appearing more terrifying. Lin Xuan didn’t want to stay here anymore.
suǒ wèi hùn dùn yāo qì ， qí shí jiù shì zuì yuán shǐ ， zuì jīng chún de yāo qì ， xī yǔ yāo qì jiān de qū bié ” jiù fǎng fú pǔ tōng mó qì ， yǔ zhēn mó zhī qì jiān de qū bié nà shì yī yàng dì 。
所谓混沌妖气，其实就是最原始，最精纯的妖气，牺与妖气间的区别”就仿佛普通魔气，与真魔之气间的区别那是一样地。
With a wave of his sleeves, thousands of talismans flew out from his sleeves, of various ranks. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a blood mist and merged with the talismans.
zhēn mó zhī qì ， jù shuō ， zhǐ yǒu jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ cái yǒu ， yì bān de gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， duō shǎo néng yì shǐ yī xiē ， dàn dōu shì bān bó bù chún dì 。
真魔之气，据说，只有九位真魔始祖才有，一般的古魔圣祖，多少能役使一些，但都是斑驳不纯地。
Due to their sheer number, Lin Xuan could only use this method to activate them instantly.
tóng yàng de ， hùn dùn yāo qì ， yě bú shì pǔ tōng yāo zú néng gòu yōng yǒu dì ， yú yú tǐ mǎo nèi yě jiù zhǐ yǒu yì diǎn ， nà hái shì xuè mài dài lái de ， yǔ tā běn shēn de shí lì ， méi yǒu shén me guān xì ， huǎn yú ， yuǎn bú dào néng gòu yì shǐ hùn dùn yāo qì de shí lì 。
同样的，混沌妖气，也不是普通妖族能够拥有地，娱娱体冇内也就只有一点，那还是血脉带来的，与她本身的实力，没有什么关系，缓娱，远不到能够役使混沌妖气的实力。
Suddenly, piercing sounds filled the air as ice arrows, lightning, wind blades, and electric bolts rained down on his opponent.
bié shuō tā ， jiù suàn shì yāo zú de nà xiē dà néng cún zài ， chú le chuán shuō zhōng yǔ sàn xiān píng qí de sān dà yāo wáng yǐ wài ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī de dà néng yāo zú ， yì shǐ de hùn dùn yāo qì yě shì bān bó bù chún de 。
别说她，就算是妖族的那些大能存在，除了传说中与散仙平齐的三大妖王以外，就算是渡劫期的大能妖族，役使的混沌妖气也是斑驳不纯的。
"This…"
ér chú le tā men ， zài líng jiè ， hái yǒu yī zhǒng dōng xī bù gòu yì shǐ hùn dùn yāo qì 。
而除了他们，在灵界，还有一种东西不够役使混沌妖气。
Immortal Flame Wolf was both shocked and angry. Although he had extensive experience in battling cultivators, such extravagant tactics were rare. Did talismans not require crystals? How could ordinary cultivators carry so many talismans?
zhēn líng ！
真灵！
But there was no use feeling depressed now; it was impossible to defeat this overwhelming attack. However, making the other party flustered and disoriented was easy.
fèng huáng yě hǎo ， cǎi lóng yě bà ， shuō dào dǐ ， rú guǒ yí dìng yào zhuī běn sù yuán xià qù ， nà shì kě yǐ guī wèi yāo zú dì 。
凤凰也好，彩龙也罢，说到底，如果一定要追本溯源下去，那是可以归为妖族地。
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Xuan used Nine Heavens Micro-Step. A flash of light appeared as he vanished from sight. This time, however, his goal wasn’t to attack but to reach Yu Yu’s side.
tā men yì shǐ de ， jiù shì zuì wèi chún zhèng de hùn dùn yāo qì 。
他们役使的，就是最为纯正的混沌妖气。
He gently embraced her waist with his long arms and quickly used Nine Heavens Micro-Step to escape in a diagonal direction.
dāng rán ， zhēn líng kě bù jǐn yǒu fèng huáng cǎi lóng ér yǐ ， jìn lóng jiè zuò wéi líng jiè zuì dǐng jí de jiè miàn zhī yī ， yǒu zhēn líng de shēn yǐng chū mò ， nà shì háo bù xī qí 。
当然，真灵可不仅有凤凰彩龙而已，禁龙界作为灵界最顶级的界面之一，有真灵的身影出没，那是毫不稀奇。
Ordinary flight wouldn’t be enough; the speed of Nine Heavens Micro-Step was faster. Behind him, explosions and roars echoed as Immortal Flame Wolf struggled to deal with the thousands of talismans Lin Xuan had unleashed.
zhǐ bù guò lín xuān jiù yǒu diǎn bēi cǎn le 。
只不过林轩就有点悲惨了。
Lin Xuan’s move was indeed clever. A two-pronged strategy: it kept the enemy occupied so they couldn’t interfere with his reunion with the Peacock, while also trapping them in place, preventing their escape.
huò zhě shuō tā de yùn qì shí zài shì kōng qián jué hòu dì ， zhè cái gāng gāng pò suì xū kōng chéng gōng ， kě yǐ shuō lián pì gǔ dōu méi yǒu zuò rè ， má fán jiù jiē zhǒng ér zhì le ， xiān shì yán láng zūn zhě ， xiàn zài gèng shì yǒu zhēn líng jiǎo hé 。
或者说他的运气实在是空前绝后地，这才刚刚破碎虚空成功，可以说连屁股都没有坐热，麻烦就接踵而至了，先是炎狼尊者，现在更是有真灵搅合。
The location where they were fighting seemed to be on a critical path as indicated by the direction and speed of the Chaos Demon Qi. If the enemy didn’t have time to leave, they might be killed by the True Soul at any moment.
qián zhě suàn bù liǎo shén me ， lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ chī le yì diǎn kǔ tóu ， yě shì yīn wèi bù liǎo jiě duì fāng de zhàn dòu fāng shì ， bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí 。
前者算不了什么，林轩之所以吃了一点苦头，也是因为不了解对方的战斗方式，被打了个措手不及。
Lin Xuan was quite cunning; sometimes killing could be done without his direct involvement.
hǎo zài zhǐ shòu le xiē xǔ qīng shāng ér yǐ ， zài dǎ xià qù ， lín xuān bú huì chóng dǎo fù zhé ， fǎ bǎo shén tōng jǐn chū ， jué duì kě yǐ jiāng duì fāng miè chú 。
好在只受了些许轻伤而已，再打下去，林轩不会重蹈覆辙，法宝神通尽出，绝对可以将对方灭除。
Using an opportunity was wise and saved him effort. Why not?
kě piān piān jiù zài cǐ kè ， hùn dùn yāo qì chū xiàn le 。
可偏偏就在此刻，混沌妖气出现了。
His strategy seemed successful as Immortal Flame Wolf was caught off guard and trapped in place. The Chaos Demon Qi, though still far away, quickly approached, engulfing everything like a devouring vortex, covering an area of over a hundred miles. This was beyond doubt.
kàn nà guī mó ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， wú biān wú jì ， zhè jué bú shì shén me shuǐ huò fēn hún yī lèi de ， ér shì ……， zhēn líng běn tǐ 。
看那规模，放眼望去，无边无际，这绝不是什么水货分hún一类的，而是……，真灵本体。
At the center of this vortex, there was a swirling maelstrom. Lin Xuan didn’t dare release his divine sense or use Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, but his eyesight was still sharp enough to see something in the vortex.
kāi shén me wán xiào ， zhēn líng cún zài ， jiù shì nà wèi líng jiè zhù míng de huā huā gōng zi ， nài lóng zhēn rén zhàn zài zhè lǐ ， duì shàng zhēn líng ， shèng fù nà yě zhǐ yǒu wǔ wǔ ， tài guò qiáng dà de zhēn líng tā kěn dìng dǎ bù tǎo ， zhēn fāng cǎi fèng jiàng shì ， biàn shì sān yāo wáng hù yǔ sàn xiān duì shàng le yě zhǐ néng wàng fēng pí nì ， zhè bú shì mò guò xiān lì 。
开什么玩笑，真灵存在，就是那位灵界著名的花花公子，鼐龙真人站在这里，对上真灵，胜负那也只有五五，太过强大的真灵他肯定打不讨，真方彩凤降世，便是三妖王互与散仙对上了也只能望风脾睨，这不是没过先例。
No… he saw two silver lights. Could it be that…
dāng rán ， ruò bú shì tài guò qiáng dà de zhēn líng ， bǐ rú shuō xiàng jīn míng zhēn chán zhī liú de ， nài lóng zhēn rén hái shì zhào dé zhù ， bì jìng tóng wèi zhēn líng cún zài ， nà chā jù kě yě bú shì yì diǎn bàn diǎn 。
当然，若不是太过强大的真灵，比如说像金明真蟾之流的，鼐龙真人还是罩得住，毕竟同为真灵存在，那差距可也不是一点半点。
In an instant, Lin Xuan clearly saw true eyes, the True Soul’s eyes. Just a fleeting glance, and Lin Xuan shuddered involuntarily as if his soul had been drained of its energy.
dàn bú yào wàng le ， yí lóng zhēn rén kě shì dù jié hòu qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， yǔ lín xuān nà shì gēn běn bǐ dōu méi fǎ bǐ de 。
但不要忘了，彝龙真人可是渡劫后期的大能修仙者，与林轩那是根本比都没法比的。
He stumbled mid-air, revealing himself. The failure of Nine Heavens Micro-Step left him almost falling from the sky.
shuāng fāng de chā jù ， bù ěr yǐ dào lǐ jì ， hàn lóng zhēn rén yī mǔ zhǐ tou ， yě néng jiāng lín xuān dǎ dào wàn jié bù fù de jìng dì 。
双方的差距，不耳以道里计，翰龙真人一拇指头，也能将林轩打到万劫不复的境地。
Clearly affected by this, Lin Xuan could feel the Peacock’s body trembling in his arms.
nài lóng zhēn rén gǎn duì shàng zhēn líng ， lín xuān què wàn wàn bú huì yǒu zhè yàng de dǎn zi 。
鼐龙真人敢对上真灵，林轩却万万不会有这样的胆子。
Lin Xuan knew Yu Yu's nature; she was unbending and resolute.
táo jiù yí gè zì fǒu zé hái liú zài zhè lǐ děng sǐ ？
逃就一个字否则还留在这里等死？
The tremor wasn’t necessarily out of fear but a lack of control. Under such overwhelming pressure, the gap between them was too great; it was almost impossible not to tremble like a frog caught by a snake.
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan extended his right hand. A short sword about a foot long appeared with a flicker of light. Its shape was entirely different from the original Soul-Sucking Sword; in fact, it seemed to be an entirely separate treasure.
The sword was ancient yet not plain, exuding a majestic and luxurious aura.
"This…"
Flames appeared on Immortal Flame Wolf’s face as he showed signs of caution. Given his combative and self-important nature, his combat experience was quite rich. He narrowed his eyes slightly, already sensing that the Soul-Sucking Sword in Lin Xuan's hand was no ordinary weapon.
Lin Xuan had indeed been provoked.
First, he had belittled the Peacock, then caused him significant trouble. Lin Xuan wasn’t one to swallow his pride and let things slide; if a tiger didn't show its teeth, it would be treated as a sick cat.
Even if this old man was difficult to deal with, he still believed that by using all of his treasures, he could take down the old man. However, the Five Dragon Seal couldn’t be used.

His strategy seemed successful as Immortal Flame Wolf was caught off guard and trapped in place. The Chaos Demon Qi, though still far away, quickly approached, engulfing everything like a devouring vortex, covering an area of over a hundred miles. This was beyond doubt.
At the center of this vortex, there was a swirling maelstrom. Lin Xuan didn’t dare release his divine sense or use Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, but his eyesight was still sharp enough to see something in the vortex.
No… he saw two silver lights. Could it be that…
In an instant, Lin Xuan clearly saw true eyes, the True Soul’s eyes. Just a fleeting glance, and Lin Xuan shuddered involuntarily as if his soul had been drained of its energy.
He stumbled mid-air, revealing himself. The failure of Nine Heavens Micro-Step left him almost falling from the sky.
Clearly affected by this, Lin Xuan could feel the Peacock’s body trembling in his arms.
Lin Xuan knew Yu Yu's nature; she was unbending and resolute.
The tremor wasn’t necessarily out of fear but a lack of control. Under such overwhelming pressure, the gap between them was too great; it was almost impossible not to tremble like a frog caught by a snake.
