"Then... all right!"
Chang Ying's expression shifted, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
There was no helping it. She really did not know quite what to make of Jiang Xiaobai.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai had genuinely punched a hole in the Mystic Scale Armor.

Jiang Xiaobai swept his gaze
