On a bright, clear day, Song Ciwan heard Lan Qiuyan mention in a casual tone, "Many Secret Realms leading to the Spirit Realm have appeared across Great Zhou!"
Though the sun was shining brightly, in that moment, Song Ciwan felt as if she had walked headfirst into a thunderstorm. A bone-chilling coldness washed over her, freezing her from head to toe in an instant.
The smile on her face vanished, and an invisible, oppressive aura instantly emanated from her.
Lan Qiuyan, sitting opposite her, felt the pressure. Seeing the change in Song Ciwan's expression, she feared she had inadvertently offended her.
Unsure of what she had said or done wrong, Lan Qiuyan froze for a moment before stammering, "Fairy Song, I... I mean... I..."
Her stammering panic quickly snapped Song Ciwan back to her senses.
