"Your Highness, as you can see, this divine soul belongs to a cultivator of our sect who already has one foot in the fusion realm."
"If any Golden Wing Sect cultivators act against your interests, you may destroy this divine soul."
"That would greatly reduce our fusion seed's chances of breaking through to fusion, dealing a grievous blow to our sect's future fortune."
"You should understand the worth of a fusion seed, Princess."

"Please accept it, Princess."
Mu Ting assessed Mo Tianji's strength and discovered that he was only at the nascent soul middle stage, not much different
