Even though they were deeply tempted, they simply would not speak.
But Manjushri was different.
She had no such reservations. That was simply her nature.
Besides, even if she were not that kind of person, she would still lower herself for the Heavenly Emperor.
"Please, save him!"
This time, Manjushri could no longer act tough before Xiao Long.
Her face was streaked with tears, a heart-wrenching sight.
Tens of thousands of years ago, she and the Heavenly Emperor had been torn apart by death.
Now that they had finally reunited, she truly did not want to experience that feeling again. She wanted to remain with the man before her forever, to live and die together.
The Heavenly Emperor's face was filled with conflict, but he said nothing.
"But someone is unwilling..."
Xiao Long said with a faint smile, casually glancing at the Heavenly Emperor.
"Please, save Lord Heavenly Emperor! If you save him, I... I am willing to be your servant!"
Whether Manjushri truly did not understand or only pretended not to, she offered no explanation and merely continued begging Xiao Long through her tears.
"Enough! Don't beg him!"
This time, the Heavenly Emperor could not hold back.
Last time, he had sealed Manjushri away so that she could survive the great battle, while he faced the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor alone.
This time, even if he truly scattered into ashes, he would not let Manjushri suffer such humiliation!
That was his bottom line!
"Fine, fine! I'll be merciful and save him this once. Come with me!"
Xiao Long looked at Manjushri and shook his head.
He had intended to save the Heavenly Emperor from the beginning.
After all, he was a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign. If he could be used by Xiao Long, he would be no small help
