Jiang Yao said, "But... you have to do something for me..."
Jiang Yao drew out his words.
Jingliu knew the test had arrived.
But what did she have to fear?
Hope filled Jingliu's eyes. "Please, tell me."
She thought that even if she died,
at least she could get a promise from Jiang Yao.
Even being deceived was better than having no hope at all.
Hope was priceless, after all!
Jiang Yao smiled faintly. "Kill Qlipoth!!!"
Jingliu: "???"
The smile that had just appeared on Jingliu's face froze instantly.
Are you... serious?
You want me to fight the Sky-Mender... no, Qlipoth?
Seriously?
Would I win?
Jingliu rubbed her head.
She wasn't afraid of dying.
But rather than die for no good reason, she might as well let him eat her.
That was what Jingliu truly thought.
But it didn't escape Jiang Yao's eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll give you a reward~"
The corners of Jiang Yao's mouth lifted.
He knew perfectly well how powerful the Aeons were.
To put it this way,
among the Aeons currently in existence,
not a single one was easy to deal with.
Even Lan and Nanook, the youngest,
would bite when pushed too far.
Jiang Yao was confident he could win, but not that he could eat them.
Otherwise,
why would anyone think I wasn't going around eating Aeons?
So,
under normal circumstances,
Jingliu was guaranteed to die fighting Qlipoth.
There would be no surprises.
But things were different now~
I, Jiang Yao, the Voracity Aeon, the Pathstrider of the Feast,
have taken another step forward on my Path!
This is a breakthrough from zero to one!
Far more solid and sound than what that old geezer Taiyi did.
Under these circumstances,
training Jingliu until she could fight on equal footing with Qlipoth wasn't impossible!
Though
