"Let the Seven-Faced Lotus stay here for Lord of the Seven Faces to come and take it himself," Xu Zimei said.

"Why would you be in this world?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Back when the Zhouze Era ended in destruction, some of our Demon Race perished within that destruction, while others were scattered to different worlds," explained the White Bone Demon.
