"You mean Luo Bai? Right now, he's probably curled up in some dark, secluded corner, sobbing his eyes out and crying his heart to pieces!

The corners of Ying Ming Hao's lips rose slightly into a sinister, peculiar smile, as though he had just committed some shameful crime and was afraid someone might notice.
The sight left Zhao Wei and the others trembling all over, their teeth beginning to chatter.
"Senior Brother Ying, please show mercy and spare me!
