Glancing at Xiao Xianrui, whose face was slightly flushed with embarrassment, Zhang Qingxiao forced a smile. "But, Eldest Senior Brother, that little thing really was fun. With a surge of spiritual power, it produced a five-colored phoenix. Even I was intoxicated by the sight, let alone Little Junior Sister. I think trading those Wutuodan for it was worth it!

"Mm." Gong
