“You are a paralyzed man, and I am an ugly girl. We are both despised by others, so we’d better stop loathing each other.” When they first met, she was all bluffing and pompous.

Li Jinglong slowly dragged his body riddled with wounds, releasing a resplendent light from his hand as he kept approaching Hong Jun.

“The living… are passing travelers…”

His low voice resounded through the world, and within an instant, the black fog that enveloped the earth receded before the light.
