The cramped Chaos Space.
After Bai Yaoyao left, silence descended once more.
But this silence was completely different from before!
The air was filled with excitement that was almost boiling over!
With anticipation that could no longer be suppressed!
Lu Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
