Retirement? Not a chance! I had just settled down in Yucun with the taciturn bottle-opener when our ox mysteriously dropped dead, strange red marks appearing on its body. I thought it was just some ordinary evil spirit, until that rainy night, when Zhang Qiling pinned me against the wall and kissed me fiercely and urgently.
The next day, though, he coldly said, “You were asleep.”
I was hurt and furious, until we found a corpse-raising altar on the mountain behind the village, laid out with blood-moss powder, and... a bronze fragment from the Zhang Family Ancient Tower.
Black Glasses suddenly showed up, smiling knowingly. “The hornet's nest you've stirred up isn't the only one.”
As more bronze fragments surfaced, every clue pointed toward the Ultimate and immortality...
[BottleXie, BlackHua, the Iron Triangle + mystery + a touch of angsty romance + the ultimate revelation. See how the Evil Emperor turns the tables and joins Xiaoge to break through the deadlock!]
