Her entire demeanor and spirit shifted instantly. A radiant smile graced her lips, and in the melodious voice unique to Shiji Nüwang, she said, “After all, you couldn’t keep it from Di Chen! This one harbors no ill will; I merely sought a glimmer of hope.”,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."。
