After a mouthful of incomparably fragrant Poisonous Milk, Jun Changxiao once again found himself saddled with a brand-new Main Quest and a brand-new Soul Bomb. It seemed this had become a fate he could not escape.

After completing the Epic Task, Jun Changxiao once again encountered an opportunity for a breakthrough.
