The Stonehearted Knight - Chapter 6: Squire seeking tutelage

When Bai Mufan opened his eyes, he found that the whole world had changed!

The most frightening thing is that Bai Mufan also found that there is an extra boyboy system in his brain, clamoring all day long to make him the world’s number one boyboy!

Bai Mufan was angry.

“Even if I, Bai Mufan, am ugly and can’t find a wife for the rest of my life, I definitely won’t be a badass!”
