Chapter 3 (2/2)

I copied Fang Hua, savoring the flavors of the pieces infiercely In a flash, I was struck speechless by the incomparably bitter taste It was extreent The only other thing was a fragrant aroue

These were just regular flowers, wasn’t he just ue turned numb…

His eyes curved

Bully

“Does it taste good?”

“Your mom! From the start, this wasn’t fit for human consumption!”

“Correct” He gently propped up his head with a hand, half-reclining on the tree, the position giving off a feeling of high command as he looked at me His almond-shaped phoenix eyes, accented by a le tear, had a certain indescribable charm “This isn’t fit for human consumption”
