In the parlor, the aroma of tea lingered, as Qin Tian and Katherine sat across from each other.
Katherine glanced casually out the window; the street bustling with traffic and voices, a stark contrast to the desolate and quiet Mingwang Planet described in textbooks. Surprised, she commented, "I really didn't expect Mingwang Planet, of all places, to be turned into such a lively scene by you, General Qin. Your abilities are truly impressive."
Qin Tian gently pushed a freshly brewed cup of hot tea toward Katherine, a smile forming on his face: "To be praised by the renowned Elemental Empress is truly an honor."
"Don't call me Elemental Empress, I dislike that nickname."
Katherine frowned, reached for the teacup, and took a sip. Her eyes instantly brightened: "This tea tastes good, I'm taking that jar on your table."
"Hey, you're outright snatching!"
