Seeing Zhu Li smiling knowingly and Hei Qing wearing a gossiping expression, Liuli became unbearably embarrassed. She immediately pulled her little hand free from Xiao Yan's palm and hid at a distance, pretending she knew nothing.

Zhu Li gave a bitter smile and sighed. "The situation on the Dragon Islands is now like fire and water. We had no choice..."
