Xia Chichi, despite harboring a bellyful of petty rebellions against Vermilion Bird and constantly plotting when she could turn the tables and take charge, in her heart was truly intimidated by Vermilion Bird.
She had never even imagined that she would witness the scene of Vermilion Bird Venerable, looking vulnerable, being pressed against a rock and forcefully kissed, akin to a famous painting.
Xia Chichi knew the Venerable's pride well and was certain that even if Emperor Ye were resurrected, Vermilion Bird would never submit to serving him like that; it was a different matter altogether. If Emperor Ye truly demanded such, it would only destroy her faith and provoke her to angrily leave the Sect.
