Lin Xue really knew how to deliver a fatal blow at the most crucial moment. I had only just sighed about how wonderful a leisurely life was, and she had to stab me this early?

Even the knowledgeable Sandora could not say how she would grow. All I could do now was satisfy Xiao Qi Jing's curiosity about the outside world as much as possible
