Xiao Yu did not know just how powerful Soaring Serpent was, but she knew one thing: the Ancestral Bear recorded in ancient texts as having fought a great battle against him was none other than the current Heavenly Emperor.
That battle had ended without a victor, so she felt that Soaring Serpent could more or less be considered an existence on the same level as the Heavenly Emperor.
And Chenxiang actually wanted to threaten someone like that with force? Was he not dreaming in broad daylight?
Xiao Yu wanted very much to ask Chenxiang that, but seeing how confident he was, even smiling at her, she recalled everything she had experienced over the past three years. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them and said flatly, "Do as you like. I'm not going, anyway. In a few more years, once I've made some progress rebuilding my Eight-Nine Profound Art, I'll return to the Miao Frontier. I won't leave again after that."
"Xiao Yu..." Chenxiang's expression stiffened again. Then, patiently, he walked over and crouched before her. "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. I know I dragged you into this. If not for me, you would still be living carefree in the Miao Frontier. But what's happened has happened. Can't you give me another chance and forgive me? I promise you, this time, I won't let what happened on Buddha Pagoda Mountain happen again. I'll fight my way into the Heavenly Court, force the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Sovereign to amend the Heavenly Laws, and rescue my mother and uncle."
Xiao Yu looked at Chenxiang before her. A trace of hesitation flickered deep in her eyes, but resolve quickly replaced it. She told him, "Then I wish you success. I'm just a very ordinary member of the Witch-Human Race.
