Zhao Changhe always said he was afraid of Vermilion Bird, and even now, the fear persisted…
San Niang seemed to rank higher than Vermilion Bird, yet Zhao Changhe never felt afraid of San Niang as he did with Vermilion Bird.
Perhaps it was because Vermilion Bird was very fierce, while San Niang always wore a smile. Or perhaps it was because the memories of bloody slaughter when he first entered this world were too vivid, impossible to dispel. Deep down, he felt that ranking did not represent everything. Comparing their "momentum," San Niang might be overpowered by Vermilion Bird in a real fight.
But the more he feared her, the more thrilling it felt at that moment, giving him a sense of "what once was feared seems so trivial now," and his heart felt extremely relieved.
