However, as soon as he entered, he saw an unidentified object flying towards him, and without any warning, it smashed heavily against his forehead.
Then, he heard a girl's voice clear and sweet as a bell, crying out, "You band of robbers, scumbags, vile creatures, let me out, let me..."
Chi Zaozao's shrill screams, however, ceased abruptly when she saw the person entering the room, leaving her speechless and stunned.
Jin Chengzhi's forehead was bleeding profusely from a wound, but he didn't move an inch, lifting his head to stare straight at the girl in front of him.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze.
The vast palace was so quiet that one could only hear breathing.
"..."
The two of them locked eyes for a full minute, until Chi Zaozao, unable to contain herself any longer, rubbed her eyes vigorously, squinting and rubbing again.
Finally, she approached, disbelief in her eyes, and stared foolishly at Jin Chengzhi, "Senior, is that you?"
