Sha Chen was in no hurry to drive Lady Di Yong away. It wasn't that he wanted her as a mount, but rather that Nezha had people watching outside. Leaving now would only give them leverage against him. For this reason, he kept Lady Di Yong for another year. Only when the surveilling deities grew lax did he finally send her away.
Before the formation, Sha Chen packed his belongings. "I originally wanted you to stay and continue your cultivation. After all, you're about to break through to the Greater Primordial Golden Immortal realm and could have been a real help. But alas, my home is too poor to support a second mouth. You'd better go out and fend for yourself."
Tears brimming in her eyes, Lady Di Yong said, "Master, I will definitely work hard to find more resources for our home."
Sha Chen patted her shoulder. "Having the will is good, but you must also act on it. I await your good news."
