Footsteps echoed along the hallway as Chartreuse hurried down to the foot of the Imperial Dragon Residence. She heard that Lai Mingjie and Xu Rouguang would be coming to the mountain while Sovereign Cinders was about to lead an army of abyssal creatures into their home.
What shocked and excited her the most was that Lai Mingjie said he had a surprise for her. As to what it was, she knew he wouldn't let her down. That demon king wasn't about currying favors but making use of everyone around him. If he had something to give her, it must be something very important...
Moreover, something she had been anticipating.
When Chartreuse reached the gates of the residence, Brother Blue was already there with Sovereign Lotus. However, their faces weren't comparable to Chartreuse's bright eyes; if anything, they were visibly apprehensive.
Having Lai Mingjie and Xu Rouguang over meant a worse battle was to come.
