It was like finding a kindred spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she didn’t dare to tell others that she admired Emperor Song. After all, no matter how you look at it, Emperor Song was an unparalleled great demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person born on the righteous path admiring an unparalleled great demon.
