Yin Snake Demoness inwardly ranted furiously, "In the past, when I was calm, you said I was ineffective. Now that I deliberately act eager, you call me frivolous. Fine, you're the big shot, you have the bigger fist, you decide."
For a moment, the Yin Snake Demoness assumed a zen-like demeanor, speaking slowly, "Yes, Great Demon Monarch. Based on the latest intel, there are three major pieces of news: two good and one bad. Which would you like to hear first?"
"I want to hear..." Blood Child Demon Monarch said.
"No rush, no rush, let me take a sip to calm my nerves first." Yin Snake Demoness pulled over a chair, plopped down, and began sipping her water slowly.
The Blood Child Demon Monarch's eyelid twitched; he really wanted to hit her. But he just told her to stay calm, couldn't go back on his word now. He resigned himself to wait until she finished her water, then said, "Let's hear the bad news first. I've heard too many 'good news' over the years."
