"Fine, I'll drink it," I said slowly. Though my voice was not loud, it carried a resolute and unyielding determination. I raised my chin, my gaze locked firmly on the pitch-black bowl of medicine in Jiyue's hand, while a thousand thoughts raced through my mind.
I knew full well that this medicine must harbor hidden dangers and that drinking it could bring unpredictable consequences. Yet, looking at the bound and innocent Demon race, and at Mengzhang, whose face was pale yet whose eyes burned with steadfast determination, I knew I could no longer hesitate.
