Bab 892: Chapter 891: Gui Family Goes to Prison (Additional update for 'poonlo', 4/10)_1

Curving clusters of purplish-red buds densely packed together blossomed in the night, radiating a translucent, dreamlike glow. A pebbled path wound through rockeries, emerald lakes, and small galleries, stretching all the way to a three-story pavilion in the distance.
