Like the roar of a lioness from Hedong—before she was seen, her voice was heard.
When Xu Shi turned around, he saw Xie Qingyan storming toward him.
Yes, storming.
That word had never suited the calm and noble Great Beauty Xie. Anyone in Night Sin City would likely have struggled to imagine her looking like a raging shrew.
