Tease. Do it.

Hello.

I am watching 'Lucifer' series and in the 4th episode Lucifer is playfully annoying/teasing detective Decker. When she has enough of it she says with irritation (but without criminal intent) "I want to shoot you." and he answers "Tease. Do it."

What might this answer mean? The only interpretation that comes to my mind is something like "Don't tease me, just shoot" (since he is immortal) but there is no negation in this sentence... So I am afraid I need your help to figure this out.

Reegis "Tease. " He is saying "Go ahead and tease me. " Lucifer is immortal, so shooting is not deadly, it's just a little tease.
