The seawater was icy cold, piercing to the bone.
In the midst of it, a young female cultivator suddenly discovered that the person beside her pillow was actually a terrifying demon. She was stunned for a few moments before, taking advantage of the demon and Steward Jian's "dog-eat-dog" squabble, she turned to perform magic and dived to escape.
But Li Xuan's "embrace" of Steward Jian was swift, almost to the point of an instant kill.
As Steward Jian screamed and transformed into black smoke rising up, Tong Jia hadn't escaped far.
She looked back, and realizing the battle had ended in an instant, her heart almost stopped beating, overwhelmed by a strong sense of despair.
That demon could resolve a Yin Ghost Realm steward in such a short time, then... how could she possibly escape?
But suddenly, Tong Jia remembered what the demon had said to her before revealing his true form: "I'm sorry."
For a moment, a hopeful delusion lingered in her heart.
