Chapter 173

Cecil finally spotted a book that she was interested in reading. It seemed to be about rare diseases and herbs, a diary written by a travelling healer that roamed the mortal realm.

It was incredible that Kiba managed to collect a book like that.

She tip-toed, reaching for the book at the top of the shelf. However, her fingers only managed to graze past the book, unable to grasp it.

A shadow loomed over her at that moment and she noticed the person leaning in, the sleeves of their kimono brushing against hers. Their hand reached out to take the book she was aiming for, and she spun back, seeing a handsome ash blonde-haired man gazing down at her, his eyes appearing gentle.

"If it's not training, it's dancing," Xue took a few steps closer, raising an eyebrow. "If it's neither of them, it's reading about medicine."

Cecil found herself cornered against the bookshelves, taking a step back.
