Still Need to Pay More, Sold Without Hesitation

Three eerie beings stared at Timid Ghost.

Three pairs of Fierce Malevolent eyes seemed to tear apart Timid Ghoul's tiny body, but in the end, they gradually reined in their Eerie Power...

Holding the oil lamp, Ji Yan let its green light cast half his face in
