Reminiscing, Stealing Fire

"Zi Yan? How did you grow so tall?!"

After Zi Yan called out to him, Su Qian recognized her as well. However, Zi Yan was now tall and slender, with a faint King's Aura between her brows. She was vastly different from the little girl she had once been, so Su Qian was rather surprised.

"Hmph, hmph. I could have grown up long ago. If it hadn't been for that Form Transformation Grass back then, why would I have had to wait so long?"

Every gaze was fixed on the departing figures,
