Xia Yunchen's dark eyes watched Qin Ruan with tenderness, his handsome face expressing relief, indulgence, and above all, a profound longing for his sister.
From their first encounter, he had felt an inexplicable fondness for Qin Ruan, a closeness that transcended romantic love—a bond beyond his control.
Only when he had awakened his memories of a millennium did he deeply understand they were blood relatives.
Yet with the life-and-death challenge before them, he was unable to stay and assist.
Xia Yunchen suppressed the great reluctance in his heart and said softly to her, "Aruan, I must leave now. The fifty-two ancient clan Divine Beasts of old have all awakened and cannot linger in the Mortal World for long.
Tonight, I will take them away. We will reunite in Tu Mountain after a hundred years, and then we will never be apart again. You will forever be the revered Little Princess of the Tushan Clan."
