You've Got Some Nerve

"Mr. Bai Zhu..."

The woman in white stood at the entrance of the half-collapsed metal passage, her hair drenched and her steps unsteady.

"Save me."

A cold sweat broke out on Milluki's back.

"Bai Zhu, does she really have that much nerve? She hasn't run yet?"

Bai Zhu did not answer right away.

He first looked toward the sea fog in the distance.

Illumi stood where he was, two more needles pinched between his fingers.

Bai Zhu hurriedly
