However, Yu Jia saw this act, and Bai Zhi's words, as pure contempt. She was used to thinking of Bai Zhi as incompetent, and that, combined with the incomprehensible nonsense she'd just spouted, made Yu Jia's anger ignite.
She lunged forward and gave Bai Zhi a hard shove, then pressed her elbow to her throat. "Bai Zhi," she snarled, "if you value your life, you'd better not cross me. Or else I'll make sure you never know a moment's peace!"
With Bai Zhi's deliberate maneuvering, her hip crashed into the table with a THUD.
This was followed by a BANG, then a loud CRASH—
"BEEP BEEP BEEP— WARNING, WARNING—"
"WARNING, WARNING— FIGHTING PROHIBITED—"
"BEEP BEEP BEEP— ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE DETECTED— INITIATING FIRE SUPPRESSION—"
"HISS—"
As the robot promptly extinguished the flames with a spray of water, smoke began to billow out of the room.
