"What? You want Bi Ji to sacrifice herself for a human?!"
"Lord, have you gone mad?!"
"Absolutely not!"
Di Tian said nothing. He stared at Gu Yuena, waiting for her explanation.
Gu Yuena raised a hand, silencing the uproar.
Then she laid out Xu Yanli's conditions, one by one.
The location of Dragon Valley.
Ending the Soul Beast Clan's plight after he became a god.
Giving Bi Ji a new body.

It was a faint smile, but there was a hint of relief in it.
"All right," she
