Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 320: Pureblood (1)

Under the warm rays of the morning sun, Astrid glanced at the ash remains of the holy tree and exhaled in relief. On the other hand, Lilian’s mouth first opened wide in sheer astonishment before a furious blush swiftly dyed her face red.
