Crazy bitch.
That was the first thought to surface in Chen Yan's mind when he regained consciousness.
No matter what, Chen Yan had never expected things to end like this.
Because Lü Wangqiu had already run out of road.
Though she was one of the Iron Sword Alliance's three Sword Chiefs, she had always been ostracized by the other two.
