Great Zhou Mansion, by Lingyuan Lake.
Mo Lin, Zi Yan, Yao Yao, and Su Youwei were strolling along the lakeshore, enjoying a rare moment of leisure in the afternoon. The lake glittered beneath the sunlight, while a gentle breeze brushed against them, carrying a hint of coolness.

Another even more violent roar, carrying ancient majesty, rang out! Tun Tun's tiny body suddenly erupted with dazzling crimson
