   🍀"Mom and Dad, stop arguing! Let's name them Kate and Lisa." Ever since leaving the owl shop, the parents had been arguing incessantly about the names of their two owls. Yes, two owls—a eagle owl and a snowy owl. Undoubtedly, the eagle owl was chosen by Dad, Daniel; in his words, size was everything when choosing a pet. Its 90-centimeter body and two-meter wingspan were undeniably captivating, a sentiment Samael wholeheartedly agreed with. None of the family's "four giants" were shorter than 9 meters, with Rebecca, at 15 meters, being his absolute favorite. The snowy owl, of course, was chosen by Claire's mom; her snow-white feathers and noble bearing captivated him at first sight. So, the two decided to buy both—one to take to Hogwarts, and one to stay home for easy communication…✨

    The first book is Sanjiu's new book. If you think "Slaying Gods" is awkward, then check this one out, the show's about to begin... [Angry] The second book is Ermao's new book, and it's my favorite of the four. I started reading "Ghost Messenger," and I love every single one of Ermao's books. I hope everyone can get to know and like Ermao. [Admiration] The third book is Qingfeng's new book. Qingfeng is also one of my favorite authors. I got to know Qingfeng through "Dali," and since reading his books, I've discovered a whole new world. I never knew novels could be so interesting! The new book continues the style of his previous works, and I highly recommend it. [Smirk] The fourth book is Sanfeng's new book.

    ① A supernatural infinite flow story. The protagonist is very good-looking. He's all bark and no bite, his true personality is crazy and cold, a neutral and amusing person in chaos, and there's no romantic pairing. ② The protagonist is a lone wolf, a post-apocalyptic villain, wielding a Miao Dao (ice-attribute), an egoist, and ultimately becomes one of the seven deadly sins—Pride.
