A scalding tear fell on it.
Snap—
Water splashed up.
Quan Ji's voice was hoarse and filled with despair.
"No……"
She couldn't describe her current feelings; the sadness and despair were beyond her comprehension.
What role did she play in this secret realm?
Everything clearly happened.
But at times like these, it seems like no one remembers her.

"The second blessing: all people pay homage to the king!"
