Xu Xiansu stared at Qing Yan, her eyes narrowing into cold, lethal slits.
For some reason, the exact moment his eyes landed on her, she felt a repulsive, skin-crawling sensation, as if an invisible, slimy hand were attempting to strip her completely naked.

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*
Right before Qing Yan's terrified eyes, the translucent blue system interface suddenly flashed a violent, bloody red, ringing with loud emergency alerts inside his head.
