At the center of the laboratory, Qin Shou walked up to the girl in the black robe, his hands clasped behind his back. He glanced briefly at the girl's furrowed brows, then suddenly reached out to grasp her delicate and soft hand, smooth as tender shoots.
In an instant, the girl's body trembled, her brows furrowing deeper.

"You... you're a citizen of the Dark Country?" A trace of joy appeared on her frazzled face.
Qin Shou smiled faintly without saying a word, let go of her hand, and turned to leave.
Citizens of the Dark Country—do they all possess such pure dark energy?

Qin Shou returned to stand before Void, and the human-shaped spine-eating Gu around him no longer acted with reckless abandon but cast fervent glances at him instead.
"The future king? What do you mean by that?" he asked with curiosity.
