"Veronica!" A radiant figure appeared in Gu Shengyin's field of vision, and Joanna sat down beside her.
Joanna had also grown up into a young lady; she was tall and, unlike Gu Shengyin's delicate beauty, her features were bold and bright. She was like a furiously blooming red plum, with quite a few followers trailing behind her.
Ever since Gu Shengyin had saved her from the jaws of a Demon Beast three years ago, Joanna's attitude towards her had undergone a significant change.
Though she was still sharp with her words, Gu Shengyin could sense the goodwill Joanna was extending towards her.
