"Is what you said true? Are you really willing?" Lu Yuan could not help asking again.
"Really!" Snow Empress nodded lightly, her ice-blue eyes gazing straight at Lu Yuan, an unusual light flickering within them.
Seeing Snow Empress's expression, thoughts raced through Lu Yuan's mind, and he instantly understood everything. With an inward sigh, he said, "Once Xue Er becomes a god, she'll revive you. I promise."

He then looked at Snow Empress. "Excuse me for a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Mm!" Snow Empress gave a soft hum.
