Zhang Ruochen released the aura of his ancestor, his eyes radiating a powerful yet non-threatening presence. "This is not how I wanted to meet," he said.,"My humble self is merely afraid that if I leave your side, I will be ruthlessly destroyed by Emperor Chen's brutal hand. Out of desperation, I could only use myself as a hostage and seek refuge here. My true form has been utterly destroyed, my primordial Dao foundation gone, there is no threat anymore. Please, Emperor Chen, show mercy and spare my life.",On Bai Qinger's exquisite and beautiful face, there appeared a melancholy that didn't belong to her. "Emperor Chen, this is truly unfair to me. Back then... this concubine even took off her dress, so humble, what's the difference between begging you Where did I not leave you another way out It was you who insisted on seeking the truth, driving us both to a dead end. You knew very well that letting you leave would mean my death. Did I have any other choice"。
