In Jinling, at the Lin Mansion, within a lavishly decorated study.
A tall, fair-skinned figure sat on a plush chair. Her long, jet-black hair was coiled high on her head, and she wore no makeup. But for someone of her cultivation, her immense power gave her a natural radiance that outshone any cosmetic a hundredfold.
Her skin was like jade, her lips red as fire. She had a sharp, high-bridged nose, upward-slanting phoenix eyes, and willow-leaf eyebrows that resembled a pair of blades. In terms of her aura, she bore some resemblance to Hong Luan.
However, compared to Hong Luan, this woman's gaze burned like a torch. Her sweeping glance felt like the descent of Celestial Fire, scorching the heart and radiating an inviolable majesty.
Her majestic aura and ruthless methods surpassed those of any man.
She was like an empress of old, reigning over the world and striking fear into all living things—a figure rarely seen in a thousand years.
