"Oops… Looks like the cage bars aren't where they used to be, didn't stop that one." she teased, her tone light but her gaze sharp.
Everyone turned to stare. Even Qian Ruixin blinked, as if surprised by her own courage, but she squared her shoulders, refusing to back down now.
She fixed Eveline with a look, "Stop trying to pit us against each other with all your forest-and-hunter talk. If there was really a cage, it would've stopped me just now. But the truth is, he doesn't need a cage to keep you down. You just built one for yourself, makes it easier to pretend you're not trapped, right?"
Eveline's face tightened, anger flashing in her eyes. Delusion?
Was this woman calling her delusional?
For a moment, it was hard to differentiate between divine and human.
