"By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you."
As if remembering something, Lin Qiye told King Mask about Jialan's predicament.
"You want to speed up the process of her awakening as a god?" King Mask frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head. "I can't help you with that."
