Did You Fail This Time?

It seemed to be auspicious, but simultaneously also felt slightly murderous as a faint black gas was emitted at the top of the palace.

At this moment, a person was sitting in the palace wearing a black robe. His eyes were beautiful like flowers, but his face was cold. There was a big cauldron in front of him, and there was a bright red liquid rolling around in the pot.

From time to time, a faint black gas emerged from the liquid, and it seemed to be drawn into a black mirror in front of him. The mirror had a rather complex design that seemed to be triggered by the black gas that was drawn into it. 

Quietly, a woman fluttered into the palace and stood quietly behind him.

The man in black seemed to be unresponsive to her presence. Perhaps, he was unaware that she had entered the palace. Either that or he trusted the woman behind him, so he continued his practice involving the mirror.
