The lingering rose scent on Broken Scroll II was exactly the same as the rose scent emanating from the Rose Empress. Jun Changxiao was instantly bewildered.
How could something I bought from the Mall carry her fragrance?
"This..." the system explained awkwardly, "Some goods in the Mall may have been transferred over from other planes after the host purchased them."

Of course.
He still did not know that the broken scroll had been stolen by
