Chapter 260. Unable to Enjoy Blessings
While running, she kept thinking about how she really couldn’t enjoy life properly; clearly, she could just lie flat and go about her days, but she always found ways to complicate things.
Hua Jin considered everything, except that she didn’t account for how fast she was going. She was indeed noticed as she wished, but she nearly scared the patrols at the mountain’s summit to death.
Who wouldn’t let their imagination run wild seeing a clump of fire floating towards the mountain at such speed in the dark?
