When making a significant decision, one often carefully weighs the pros and cons in their heart.
Zhang Chi believed that Demon King Hong Li must have carefully weighed the pros and cons, but in the end, she would most likely choose to die rather than submit.
She was not entirely driven by emotions; at least, she weighed the pros and cons before making a decision.
What drove her to make this decision was both her resistance to Zhang Chi and her concern for the Sea Demon Clan.
These two factors seemed to equally influence her decision.
However, if Zhang Chi suddenly resolved the hidden danger of the Sea Demon Clan for her, Hong Li's heart would quickly lean towards the other side.
Then, the question would quietly change from whether she should "willingly" agree to whether Zhang Chi could solve the problem of the Sea Demon Clan, and directly determine whether she would "willingly" agree.
If Zhang Chi had not played this strategy, he would have had more problems to solve.
