Bitter Past, Sweet Present
[Chen Family Estate, Guest House]
It was late at night, and Liu Ming was in his room. He sat in a chair with his legs crossed, wearing spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose. He was using them to read a thick bamboo scroll.
The young patriarch didn't have any vision problems──his glasses were actually a special artifact called Spiritual Readers.
They helped him read and process information more quickly.
These spectacles were designed to make reading faster and automatically understand the content, with the speed depending on how much spiritual energy you put into them.
Not far from him was the slave woman, the only other person in the room. As he read, he would occasionally glance up from his bamboo scroll to admire her beauty.
