The instant the woman heard that voice, she shuddered. She swiftly turned around and saw another person standing at the spot where the boy had previously been behind her.
That person was dressed in white and looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of age. He looked incredibly handsome, but the scar under his eye added a slight devilish air to his face. The ancient look in his eyes also made him look as if he was submerged in the passage of time.
He stood there and looked at her silently.
His appearance was about a sixth similar to the boy’s who had left just now, causing the woman to be caught in a daze for an instant.
The two of them looked each other in the eyes. Time trickled by. The room was quiet. After a long while, the dazed expression on the woman’s face disappeared, and a smile appeared on her lips as her eyes twinkled.
