Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up—due to a scheduling mix-up on my part, this chapter was released earlier than intended. Unfortunately, Webnovel doesn't currently allow chapter reordering, so things are a little out of sequence.
To avoid confusion, please read the next chapter first before coming back to this one.Thanks so much for your understanding and continued support!
