Gao Peng made eye contact with the white-robed maiden. Her eyes were cold and clear, like the frozen lake outside.

As looking straight into a lady's eyes was the most impolite thing a gentleman could do, Gao Peng quickly lowered his gaze. She had a red lotus impressed between her brows. How curious... Wait, why am I paying attention to such details?

Gao Peng quickly took out his phone. "It's 7:30 in the evening."

The white-robed maiden frowned as she ruminated on this in silence. Then she nodded wordlessly at Gao Peng.

"It's been a while since I've had guests," she said. "I could feel the elemental energies returning to the planet. How long has it been since the planet's elemental revitalization?"
