Lin Xingzhu lowered her head, their breaths meeting in the cold yet heated air.
"I find everything here so interesting."
The metallic mask glinted on her face, the slightly upturned lips at the edges forming a breathtaking and deeply metaphorical curve.
Lin Xingzhu tightened her grip, as if answering or sighing.
"Is this the only place in City A with such interesting activities?"
At her words, Shang Cengrou's concealed eyebrows lifted in pride.
"Of course not! But I can guarantee that the place I brought you to is definitely the most worthwhile!"
Lin Xingzhu seemed to ponder.
Beside her, Bai Xiying didn't ask further. Suddenly, her body felt astonishingly weak, almost collapsing into Lin Xingzhu's embrace under Shang Cengrou's gaze.
For a moment, Lin Xingzhu's instincts screamed caution unconsciously.
Lin Xingzhu looked at the girl on the stage with a focused gaze, filled with a cold fury that made Bai Xiying want to immediately disrupt Lin Xingzhu's attention to others. Bai Xiying wanted those intense eyes—whether filled with love or hate, care or anger—to rest solely on her.
Bai Xiying couldn't forget how Lin Xingzhu had once looked at her with those very same eyes. How could she allow her to direct those eyes at someone else now?
Anything that might provoke Lin Xingzhu's interest in others had to be interrupted, and she needed to reclaim what belonged to her.
Lin Xingzhu was unaware of the thoughts racing through Bai Xiying's mind. She soothingly patted the soft, slender figure in her arms, suppressing her rising anger, presenting an expression devoid of any cracks.
Several people sitting on the high steps beside them also had companions, making Lin Xingzhu's embrace of Bai Xiying less conspicuous.
She knew the girl being whipped and tortured on stage should be rescued, but now was not the right time.
Only by eliminating this underground cage that fostered desire and sin could the innocent be completely liberated.
She smiled, probing for everything Shang Cengrou knew. "How come I've never discovered such an interesting place before? Is it newly opened?"
Shang Cengrou observed her captivated gaze lingering on the stage.
"Of course it's not new. It's just that what we used to experience wasn't this extravagant."
