Her eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and her face, which used to be full of joy when she smiled, now had an unfamiliar color. She was clearly just a girl in her teens, but for some reason, the smile on her lips made her look like an evil ghost from hell, chasing after souls and taking lives.
Fu Ling was shocked, but quickly calmed down: "I've worked so hard to raise you for so many years, but I never thought you would still be so useless. You are not even close to Rong Xin. The Xue family is powerless to help you."
