Ye Tian suddenly appeared on the Six Paths of Heaven's Road, with Long Nu'er following behind him.
But a closer look revealed that Long Nu'er was clinging tightly to his right hand.
Her face was flushed with bashfulness as she followed obediently beside Ye Tian like a little girl, without a trace of her former arrogance as a princess of the Dragon Clan.
"Um... um, Ye Tian, what should I call you from now on?"
Long Nu'er asked timidly. Ye Tian's earlier promise still lingered in her mind: he was willing to reserve a consort's place for her.
Long Nu'er knew her place. She understood that her talent, strength, and background were nowhere near enough for her to become Ye Tian's empress.
Besides, Ye Tian's talent and strength were rare throughout history. He had broken his predecessors' records in many respects and was hailed as the Eternal Taboo, an undefeated legend.
Perhaps he would meet a better match someday on the grand stage of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
She was already more than satisfied to have a place as one of his consorts.
All Long Nu'er wanted now was to cultivate diligently. She did not expect to keep pace with Ye Tian, but she hoped she could at least glimpse his back in the future, rather than leave him walking alone at the very front.
Perhaps women were simply such strange creatures.
The more domineering you were, the more obedient they became.
The more submissive and humble you were, the colder they became. They lost interest in you and even considered you a coward.
Ye Tian smiled faintly, turned around, and lifted her chin, saying with a wicked grin, "Don't forget, you're still my mount~"
"Whenever we travel from now on, you'll take your true dragon form."
