The Joyful Union Saintess's voice was soft and gentle, as though she were complaining.
Yet the smile at the corners of her lips could not be suppressed no matter what.
That bitch had deluded herself into becoming Dao companions with a sword cultivator. She was far too arrogant and naïve.
Human Sword Cultivators had been known since ancient times for being cold, heartless, and cruel. Other than their earliest childhood years, many sword cultivators never had a Dao companion their entire lives. Their lives held nothing but the sword.

As the Dao Child of Fusang Holy Land, did the Fusang Saintess have love?
Perhaps she did.
As one of the foremost Dao Children in the Endless Starry Sky, the Great Sun Sword Son naturally drew the admiration of women. It was humanity's innate instinct for women to be attracted to the strong. The two had known and understood one another for tens of thousands of years, accumulating much emotional foundation.
