Chapter 42 The Dancing Paper Doll, Another Teacher



Even the most terrifying forces would cower before this child.

Is her young master perhaps a primordial god?

Jiang Shumiao glanced at it, then waved her hand.

The fallen ginkgo tree stood up, and the broken parts fused together at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly regaining its vitality.

The other three children stared wide-eyed.

Jiang Shumiao looked back at the roof again; one of the eaves was missing. She raised her hand, and the fallen eaves splinter flew up as if it had grown wings, instantly fitting perfectly into the broken piece.
