First Elder Eva Angel's curiosity got the better of her. "And then what happened?" she asked, her tone playful.
Shi Ling's smile hinted at secrecy. "Nothing."
Eva Angel's eyes narrowed. "You're hiding something, Shi Ling."
Shi Ling's tone turned defensive. "I'm not."
Eva Angel teased, "Well, if you won't tell me, I'll just ask Holy Son Xiao Feng for the details."
Shi Ling's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing. "No, don't! I'll tell you."
She took a deep breath. "Honestly, nothing significant happened. The spider's venom conflicted with my Qi, making it hard to breathe...and Holy Son Xiao Feng helped me."
Her voice faltered, face crimson.
Eva Angel's amusement grew. "You're blushing like a young girl. What's going on, Shi Ling?"
