In this war where only one side was destined to win, Lily had been utterly defeated, both in spirit and in body.

With his cultivation practice ended, Su Chengyu opened his eyes and looked at Lily, uttering only these two words.
Lily offered a shallow smile, "Sorry for what? Aren't we both grown-ups? Can't you take responsibility for yourself?"
"I can offer additional compensation for this favor."
