She couldn't endure this kind of provocation. Gritting her teeth, she revealed a provocative smile.
Long Xiruo adjusted her position underwater, transforming into a fish and swiftly entering through the gap smashed open in the bronze gate.
But she soon surfaced... The distance she had traveled underwater was only about thirty meters?
Before her was a short flight of stairs submerged in the water.
