At this moment, Su An’s aura exploded, sending a powerful shockwave sweeping out in all directions.
Regret? Ye Li stood frozen in place. She had never considered that word. Her life had always been a series of forced progressions; she dared not look back and did not know what she would see if she did, so she never imagined "what ifs" and never... felt regret.

Bai Kong sat in the man’s lap, holding potato chips in her left hand and chocolate in her right—items offered to the gods by mortals from lower planes, or brought back by gods who had traveled abroad.
"Commander, how much of what he said do you think is true?" Hange broke the silence, asking in a low voice.
