Heavenly Snake Mansion's Hopes

At the sight of this utterly cold-blooded scene, even Qing Lin, who had weathered many storms, could not help but curl her lips into a deeply chilling smile.

Such behavior—regarding companions as worthless grass and destroying them at will—was enough to make one's heart turn cold. Qing Lin immediately mocked him, "People of the Soul Hall, emotions truly are superfluous to you. No, perhaps you abandoned such things from the very beginning..."
