Qin Jishi opened his eyes, and a searing pain swept through his entire body.
The pain felt as though it would tear his body completely apart, nearly making him pass out on the spot again.
Urgh!
Qin Jishi slowly opened his eyes, forcibly enduring the splitting headache and keeping himself awake...
What came into view was a veiled woman.

Qin Jishi was not boasting. Those were the true words in his
