Hao Xiaonian slightly pursed her lips and said softly, "It would be nice to be free. Being trapped in that small grave was quite uncomfortable."
"No need to be so cautious. You used to be so lively, bold in your words and actions... I've mentioned before that I'd take you as a registered disciple."
Li Ping'an said:
"Apart from the Great God Xuanwu, I am still the Heavenly Emperor of this universe, overseeing heaven, earth, and humanity.
"You are one of my two disciples, so I will naturally not let you suffer any grievances.
"If you are willing, I can send you to reincarnate and cultivate anew later. Once you attain immortality, I will bring you to cultivate in the Heavenly Court. Does that sound good to you?"
Though Hao Xiaonian didn't know the specifics, scenes from the past surfaced in her heart, causing her eyes to brim with tears as she hastily knelt to pay respect to Li Ping'an.
