"Haha, I'm joking, I'm joking."
Venerable Xiyue giggled, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
When her laughter subsided, her expression grew a little more serious.
"Speaking of serious matters, Chen Yan will be back soon.
"I expect he'll come looking for you before long. Have you decided how to handle him?"
"Chen Yan?"
Frost Crown Dominator's smile faded slightly. A trace of helplessness crossed her ice-blue eyes.
"I'll make things clear to him."
Dustrock Dominator!
He was a Supreme Dominator of the Godslayer Martial Hall, with a World Venerable for a teacher.
After meeting her once hundreds of thousands of years ago, he had pursued her relentlessly.
She had rejected him countless times, but he refused to give up. He had even used every means at his disposal to pressure her.
Only when Dustrock Dominator went to guard the Outer Domain Battlefield tens of thousands of years ago had she finally gotten some peace.
She hadn't expected him to return now.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get through to him."
Venerable Xiyue shook her head gently.
"You know what he's like. And he's that madman Venerable Golden Peak's disciple.
"Now that he's back, I doubt he'll give up easily."
"Even if he won't listen, I have to tell him!"
Frost Crown Dominator's gaze turned cold.
Her plain white dress stirred without a breeze, and faint ice crystals formed around her.
"I've had enough.
"If he keeps pestering me, I won't hesitate to fight him."
"Fair enough."
Venerable Xiyue gave a slight nod.
"If you really can't settle it, I can step in."
"All right."
Frost Crown Dominator nodded, her ice-blue eyes calm once more.
Of course, she would not turn to Venerable Xiyue unless she had no other choice.
After all, this was her own problem.
