A Man Like None Other

^{Chapter 5857}

^{The Palace Mistress trembled, and gave a bitter smile: “Don’t seek revenge… Live well… Sword Star, you’re still so foolish.”}

^{She was silent for a moment before looking at David again: “Do you know what my relationship is with Wan Jianxing?”}

^{David shook his head.}

^{“We were lovers.”}

^{She choked up at this point, unable to continue.}

^{David was deeply moved, never expecting that Wan Jianxing and the palace master before him had such a tragic and heroic past.}

^{Defying orders for love, not hesitating to become an enemy of the entire divine race, ultimately ending up imprisoned for eternity…}
