Madam Shi tilted her face to examine Li Yan, "The ocean's depths contain three thousand endless mysteries for you to benefit from your whole life. The Red Flag Gang is now constantly plagued by troubles; this remarkable encounter is truly a blessing from the heavens for you,"
Li Yan smiled, bowed his head, and took "Travels of the Bearded Guest" from Madam Shi's hand, his pupils suddenly quivering.
Madam Shi's right hand, which held the book, was already rotten and blackened, with purple veins clinging to the bones, a shocking sight.
But in just a fleeting glimpse, Madam Shi had already withdrawn her hand into her sleeve.
"There's something I need to tell you."
Madam Shi's other palm remained snow-white and delicate. She twirled a strand of hair around her finger, inadvertently avoiding Li Yan's gaze.
Li Yan smiled again, pretending not to have seen, "Go ahead."
