Passing on the Lamp of the Buddha's Heart: Infusing Wu Song with Spiritual Power, and the Emergency Headband Is Developed! (Continued)
Yue Fei gritted his teeth, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He had clearly been enraged.
The White Dragon Steed beneath him sensed the surging tides in its master's heart and let out deep, rolling dragon's roars.
"General Yue, what's wrong?"

Looking at the undisguised sorrow for his misfortune
