The more afraid she felt, the calmer her heart became. She took several deep breaths, struggling to regain her composure.
Continuing to provoke Situ Xuan at this time was not a wise choice! Although she had known Situ Xuan for a long time, she didn't understand his personality well. The only thing she could sense was that Situ Xuan was not as gentle and harmless as he appeared!

She had already angered him once, and her recent attempt to escape had failed. Attempting to flee again had low probabilities of success.
Yet, even with low odds, she had to plan for herself!
Thinking of this, she tightly clenched her fists, even digging her nails into her flesh, using this pain as a reminder that she must not admit defeat!
