Her slightly squinted phoenix eyes shimmered with a dark luster.
"How well do you understand me? Just because I'm afraid of water, you think I'm not Xiang Ying, but who else could I be?"

"I used to be afraid because I had not yet fallen into the dire straits I find myself in now, with the destruction of my country and family right before my eyes. The instinct to survive is enough to drive me to change."
"Do you think everything I do is just to show off my strength? I'm seizing the initiative, fighting for a gasp of breath."
Suddenly, Jie Chen lifted his thin eyes, the light in the cabin creating a play of light and shadows, making his gaze seem obscure and difficult to understand.
