Volume 10 Chapter 82 Martial Paragon and the Youth

“Ooooh, they say the weather beats one ruthlessly, yet you have not aged at all.”

“… You still have your ‘unique’ way of complimenting people, I see. You trying to put me in a coffin sooner?”

“Eh?”

“You didn’t plunge the palace into chaos just to wish me
