Perhaps because he had lived an extra lifetime, his demeanor carried a touch of ancient elegance. There was a sense of nobility between his brows, yet unlike his previous life’s sickly weakness, it made him even more attractive.CpqctzBiSRDzEQVFAWajLuKaoHCoog

As he was thinking, his gaze flickered, and he suddenly caught sight of a dark Bodhi bead from the cuff of the tailored suit. The bead seemed incongruous with the person’s status, yet it was firmly tied around the wrist.trwzopfXOtdKPjqytHViMPDUHyasMV
