Chu Yang continued on the road with Qin Yao. Of course, he could not possibly do anything inappropriate for children out in the wilderness.
Yet this instead left Qin Yao feeling somewhat resentful, wearing an expression that said, "I gave you the chance, but you were useless."
Chu Yang was instantly speechless. Compared to Yan Ruyu's reserve, Qin Yao was her complete opposite.
This enchantress had delicate feelings, yet she was passionate as fire. She was truly hard to handle.
"Where are we going?"
After untying the knot in her heart, Qin Yao had become especially cheerful.
Chu Yang's words had given her a tremendous sense of security. Strictly speaking, this still counted as relying on another person to grow stronger, but it was far better than being nothing more than a decorative vase, an accessory.
Method, Companions, Wealth, Place—Dao Companions were meant to complement one another. She could rely on Chu Yang to become stronger, then help him in the future. Qin Yao saw nothing wrong with that.
If she completely gave up and became nothing but a canary in a cage, that would not be what she wanted.
"I'm taking you to take the first step toward becoming an Empress!" Chu Yang said with an amused smile.
Qin Yao burst out laughing and rolled her eyes charmingly. "Stop trying to fool me..."
A sweet smile lingered at the corners of her eyes, but she mostly took it as a love confession.
Even if Chu Yang was a Great Emperor Reincarnation, helping her Prove the Way through a single realm would still be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Chu Yang saw through her thoughts but did not say much.
If he directly told her that he was an existence above Great Emperors, Qin Yao might not believe him
