The Qing Jing pavilion hung heavy with the scent of rare incense and unspoken agony. Luo Binghe, Demon Sovereign, lounged on his throne, his dark eyes igniting with crimson fire at the sight of his captive's arrival. Shen Jiu, former Peak Lord, now his consort—stripped of his golden core—walked with slow, measured steps, his spine rigid with a pride that no longer had power. The emptiness and hatred in his jade-green stare were plain to see. A smile touched Luo Binghe's lips, captivated by that fragile, furious beauty. He knew every secret dream, every buried shame from Jiu's past. 'You are mine now,' the demon murmured, reaching out to trace the pale line of his teacher's cheek. The air thickened with the tension between hatred and a strange, fateful pull.
