A voice spoke out ly, “I would like to know if Sir Li would like to feel a little bit qiu ju to find the source of the disembodied voice
A faint, purple silhouette appeared outside the door; a pair of icy eyes sent chills down Li Changqiu’s spine
Li Changqiu snorted coldly and said, “Are you atte to scare me with your mystical parlor tricks? You don’t have the skill for that yet!” He maneuvered himself into a position to strike out even as he coe

Li Changqiu suddenly raised both of his hands and lashed out wildly
