No wonder the female protagonist had been relatively quiet these days; she was plotting a major scheme.
An Yao's gaze turned cold, and an unnamed anger surged within her. She couldn't help but clench her freezing and reddened hand into a fist.

Among the crowd, the figure in the white dress flashed by and quickly disappeared.
An Yao had just taken a half-step forward when Huli grabbed her hand and led her back to the Witch Doctor Fort .

As the city's great priest, he held an untouchable position. However, Huli knew better than anyone that there was nothing wrong with that stone. He had examined it countless times before.
