The Good News Is Finally Happening

Listening to the black-haired maiden, even Baili Qing showed a change in expression. She shifted her gaze away awkwardly. "...That was all in the past."

"Yes, back then you were still just a young dragon." The black-haired maiden still wore that faint, elusive smile. "Although you always kept a straight face even then, your personality was better than it is now."

Baili Qing turned her head and looked at the "councilor" of The Crossroads before her. She looked at that maiden-faced being who had actually lived through countless years, at those light-gray eyes blinking on her face.

Hong frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. "It's that Yu Sheng again..."

"Lifeless things influenced by him will exhibit signs of life. Illusions will gradually develop humanity, while the immortal Dark Angel will die and then gain 'rebirth'
