In reality, it's always been a struggle to suppress this Demonic Qi, and its power and strangeness make it extremely difficult.
However, to prevent Ye Qingchen from worrying, she could only choose to hide the truth.
Ye Qingchen quietly watched Xiao Xiao, his eyebrows still slightly furrowed. He wasn't someone easily deceived, especially after the recent bizarre event; he seemed somewhat skeptical of Xiao Xiao's words.
He felt Xiao Xiao's explanation was somewhat perfunctory, seemingly hiding something. But seeing her complexion pale yet not showing obvious pain, Ye Qingchen didn't want to press her too much.
"Are you really okay?" Ye Qingchen's voice remained low, carrying a bit of concern.
Xiao Xiao firmly nodded, her smile bearing a hint of reluctance, but she tried hard to maintain her composure: "Really, sir. Don't worry, I can handle it."
