Uchiha Shin still did not quite understand what the Spirit Demon King meant.
"We didn't do anything to Honghong, so why would you say that?" Goku felt indignant.
The Spirit Demon King said, "That isn't the reason either. Honghong is the future Spirit Demon King of our Spirit Demon Clan. She needs to stay on Cloud Spirit Island and cultivate properly. I'm afraid that after seeing Mystic Spirit King, she'll start wanting to go out and have fun, delaying her cultivation."
Uchiha Shin smiled. "Spirit Demon King, you worry too much. Cultivation is not merely about cultivating one's strength; more importantly, it is about cultivating one's heart. Whether in the Buddhist Sect or the Daoist sects, cultivators train both their power and their spirit. Neither can be neglected."
"If Honghong remains on Cloud Spirit Island forever and knows nothing of the outside world, that will not benefit her growth either. Only by experiencing more can she grow quickly and become more capable of succeeding as the Spirit Demon King."
The Spirit Demon King nodded. Uchiha Shin was right, and he had been about to agree, but immediately held himself back.
That was not what he meant. He simply did not want Honghong to continue falling for Uchiha Shin. However, the Spirit Demon King could not say such a thing to Uchiha Shin's face. It would be too awkward, and it would also humiliate Honghong.
"Mystic Spirit King, I understand what you mean, but Cloud Spirit Island has its own reasons. I hope you can forgive us," the Spirit Demon King said.
"Since that is the case, I will respect your decision," Uchiha Shin replied.
Since they had already put it that way, what else could he say?
The Spirit Demon King still refused to let Honghong go save the Undying
