A lie.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Li would have said those words outright, relying on his Golden Soul's Divine Ability.
Or simply slapped her across the face.
But right now, only Snow God City’s Eldest Miss had come.
And from what Ye Li could sense...
Her invitation was not entirely a lie.
At the very least... the lord of Snow God City truly did want him to visit.
