In her residence on Snow Phoebe Lake's inner ring, Jiang Han and Qin Shunying sat in the conference room where the starlight and moonlight shone most beautifully, gazing westward through the open floor-to-ceiling windows.
Thick clouds swaddled an air of mystery. Specks of light glittered within them in harmony with the starlight—the glow shed by the cat lamps after they had been swept into the clouds.
The little things were having the time of their lives.
"What exquisite taste. I suggest building an observation deck here. You could also enjoy the night view with me from the upper floor of the Witch House tavern," Qin Shunying said.
The manager of Witch House's South City branch possessed a dazzlingly mad temperament—the sort of woman who made one wonder, halfway through a conversation, whether she might suddenly do something utterly unhinged. But judging by her looks alone, Jiang Han could guarantee:
