The beauty, appearing as a hundred flowers, split in two, her delicate and charming face cracking open—even though no flesh and blood lay within, just an emptiness.
"Swoosh—"
A lingering shadow suddenly withdrew from that emptiness; in a fleeting glance, Jiang Li met a pair of eyes that were nearly transparent.
Ji Jiji?
These eyes so closely resembled the ones that had manifested in Ji Jiji's body that day.
That shadowy figure halted a few yards away, steadying itself to reveal its true form—not Ji Jiji, but rather a cultured middle-aged man.
The man had handsome features, dressed in Confucian robes, with a wooden hairpin in his hair. His bearing was that of a scholar, elegant and refined, yet those eyes, indifferent and abyss-like, harbored myriad mysteries, incongruous with his scholarly demeanor.
