The edges of the Red Soil Continent were in turmoil, but Li Ziran had no attention to spare for the ocean about to be torn away. He needed to have a proper talk with Kazilan now.
He needed to prepare himself mentally.
Although she was still deeply hostile, they had a contract between them, and that could settle a great many things.
