"Gu Changqing, you deserve to die!"
Yuanshi's face was livid, his eyes bulging as though their corners would split.
No further words were needed to reveal the towering fury in his heart.
His words also startled Laozi beside him awake.
His eyes snapped open, and Laozi glanced at Yuanshi in astonishment.
