Chapter 209 Stephanie Drew a V

Auspicious Divination Stick

Closing her eyes, the darkness around Milly inexplicably cased her mood quite a bit. The Buddhist scriptures in her ears also seemed somewhat pleasant.

Although she had always firmly believed that everything depended on human effort and did not believe in any other doctrine besides science, but having kneeled down, it seemed unjust not to seek something good
