divine hand, flawless and exquisite. His long, narrow phoenix eyes held a hint of wildness and an unrestrained elegance that defied worldly conventions, leaving a lasting impression on all who beheld...To her surprise, they were actually able to cooperate so seamlessly. The way they attacked with such a human-like strategy made Jun Li's eyes narrow in seriousness. She was starting to take them seriously now.

The longsword sliced through the air, swordlight flickering as countless insects were buried beneath its blade. Jun Liye's snowy white attire was now marred with streaks of blood, resembling a blossoming red plum at first glance.

Just as she was about to make a quick decision, Jun Liye's chest suddenly constricted. The breath within her body abruptly went astray, and her blood surged chaotically.

Seizing her longsword, Jun Liye clutched at her chest and knelt on one knee, forcing back the metallic tang rising in her throat. "Damn it! The poison had to strike at this exact moment!"

"To actually withstand my gu worms for so long, not bad at all." A corner of a pure white gown appeared beside Jun Liye at some point, followed by a slightly mocking and sarcastic voice from above.
