Yan Mei stood up from the bed, an ominous aura emanating from her. She crossed her arms in front of her chest as she raised her chin, giving the doctors a condescending look. Seeing a sinister smile on her face, the doctors stepped back in fear, their eyes widening in fright as Yan Mei's eyes turned red, her veins marred on her face.

A powerful gust of wind blew in the room, making the lights flicker on and off. The hairs on their body started to stand in attention as if they were soldiers. With annoyance coursing through Yan Mei's body, the current in the light exploded, the glass shards falling on them and on the floor.

The doctors rushed towards the door but the moment their hands landed on the handle, the door was closed shut, not giving them a chance to escape. With a mocking laugh, the doctors looked at Yan Mei as they cowered in fear. Her voice was heard echoing inside the room, asserting her dominance.

”I told you…,” she trailed off, her smirk disappearing from her face, her eyebrow arching up to intimidate them. ”I will bury you with him if he dies.”

Wanting to let them know how serious she is, with a flick of her finger, she raised one doctor effortlessly in the air without touching him. The moment she put her finger down to her side, the doctor's body slammed hard on the floor, making him cough out a little blood.

Seeing that she was dangerous, the doctors scrambled to rush to the door for their escape. She laughed at them mockingly as she watched how frantic they were in wanting to escape. Her laughter bellowed even more when she saw how the doctors realized that the door was locked.

The doctors turned to look at her with fear in their eyes. When they realized that they were trapped, for the first time since they worked, they started regretting their occupation.

”So... shall we start?”

Yan Mei asked, her left hand twirling her hair playfully. With her right hand, she pointed a finger at them as if choosing her target—her prey. When her finger stopped on one doctor, he urinated himself in fear. Yan Mei chuckled when she saw how the doctor cowered in fear.

”Humans... always pathetic,” she said as she shrugged, disdain etched in her voice.

A loud scream echoed and sounded in the vast room, making Edward, who was outside, feel unsettled. With that, he rushed to the door and knocked on it anxiously.

”Miss Yan!?” There was no answer. Only screams and painful m.o.a.ns could be heard. He tried to open the door, but he couldn't.

With adrenaline rushing through his veins, he called his men to open the door, but even with their attempt, it wouldn't budge. He didn't know why... but there is a bad feeling that he felt in the pit of his stomach, his expression turning sour with uncertainty.

Yan Mei nonchalantly tilted her head to the side. She looked like a bored child who was forcing herself to play to look entertained. When her eyes landed on another doctor, she yawned as her eyes turned red. Without making any effort to lay a finger on them, she raised her right hand, her index finger slowly drawing a slash on thin air. Little did the doctors know that she was already making a cut on their colleague's forehead.

”A-ah, no!” Feeling that there was some liquid tricking down from his forehead to his nose, to his lips... the moment he tasted the iron, he realized that it was his blood. In sheer fear, he fainted, making the others cower in front of the merciless woman in front of them.

When she was about to look for another doctor, the other doctors in the room also fainted, making Yan Mei roll her eyes feeling exasperated.

”Tsk... you're no fun!” Yan Mei smirked and turned to the other doctors who aren't unconscious, making them stammer as they speak.

”P-please... spare us. Please, w-we beg you!”

Shaking her head and with sarcasm in her voice, Yan Mei crossed her arms in front of her chest then spoke,

”Why should I spare you? Did fate spare me from his cruelty?”

With that, another chilling laughter echoed in the room, making the other doctors silent. After a few seconds the moment she stopped laughing, her expression turned deadpan serious, as if she hadn't laughed a few moments ago.

”Do you wanna hear a story?”

The room fell into a deafening silence. The doctors' eyebrows were furrowed, the others hunching and latching on to each other for protection as they still felt fear coursing throughout their bodies. Without expecting any replies from them, she started narrating her tale.

”Once upon a time, a princess lived in a castle. She was doted on but the King and Queen since she is the only child. Because of her parents' love and protection, the princess grew up to be quite naive, you see. She believed in the good of humanity. However, there's no good in humanity—this she learned the hard way.

”Once she reached a marriageable age, a prince from another country came to ask for her hand in marriage. Her father didn't agree, but since she was madly in love with the prince, she went on ahead and married him.”
