But Shuyin wasn't listening anymore. She had already shifted her full attention to her mother, activating her jade eyes, those ancient irises that could see beyond flesh into the very essence of a being. The world took on different hues as she examined her mother's condition, reading the flows of energy and life force.
What she saw made her blood run cold.
Then boil.
"Damn you!"
The words exploded from her as she spun around, closing the distance to Mei in an instant. Her fist connected with devastating force, enhanced by celestial power. Mei's body flew backward like a rag doll, smashing into the wall on the far side of the living room with a sickening crack before sliding down to the floor.
Lu Yuze's men, Ah Ling and Ah Ying, had been awakened by the commotion and now stood frozen in the doorway, eyes wide with shock just watching what they were seeing.
They already knew Lin Shuyin was kind of a different person, but why did she feel like a celestial being?
