Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon - Chapter 837 - : Junior Su Bing Is Very Handsome

Intellectual Villages are old fashioned rural villages recreated with cutting edge technology. Those villages attract the Japanese monsters known as Youkai.

How vivid the red love pea is embedded in the exquisitely carved dice,

Just as my feelings for you deep in my bones.
