Ling Fei's mother felt her heart racing as Bai Lung's chilling words sunk in. The threat of a curse affecting her son's life was terrifying, and she couldn't bear the thought of him suffering.
Yet, his bold advances and provocative touches had ignited a fire within her that she had long thought extinguished.
She searched his intense crimson eyes, finding a glint of dark desire that mirrored her own growing lust.
Her body trembled under his smoldering gaze, craving his touch despite her better judgment. Conflicting emotions swirled within her - fear, shame, and an overwhelming need to surrender to her primal desires.
Biting her lip, she finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "I-I...I don't know what to say. This is all so sudden,"
She glanced away, unable to maintain eye contact. "But...if what you say is true, and this curse will harm my son..." Her eyes met his again, resolve hardening in their depths.
