Di Tian took a deep breath.
"Is that true?"
"It is."
Di Tian fell silent for a moment.
"Fine."
"I accept your request to be your sparring partner, but I have one more condition."
"Say it."
"During our battle, your people are not allowed to harm mine."
Ling Xiao nodded readily.
"Of course."
The Heavenly Thunder stopped attacking at once, as though it had obeyed Ling Xiao's command.
Di Tian also returned to human form and withdrew his protection over the ferocious beasts.
Seeing this, a glint flickered through Snow Empress's ice-blue eyes. She gave Ice Empress a meaningful look.
Ice Empress understood immediately. She lowered her fighting stance and returned to A-Tai and Xiaobai, standing together with Snow Empress and the other two.
The Extreme North was most "hospitable." They kept the members of the Great Star Dou Forest under watch.
It was not because they intended to do anything to them, but simply to ensure that Di Tian would properly serve as a sparring partner.
Snow Empress glanced at Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji."
Though her voice sounded cold, all the hostility from before had vanished.
Bi Ji was slightly startled. She did not understand why Snow Empress was calling her at this moment.
Snow Empress said calmly, "During their battle, you will heal Ling Xiao."
Bi Ji's expression became even more astonished. "You want me to heal our enemy?"
"Ling Xiao is not your enemy, and he and Di Tian are merely sparring."
After hearing that, Bi Ji was silent for a while. She quickly understood Snow Empress's intentions.
The gap between Ling Xiao and Di Tian was obvious: five hundred and thirty thousand years against eight hundred and ninety thousand years.
Even with the enhancement of the Thunder Domain, Ling Xiao could not possibly remain completely unharmed.
