Mei Ji grasped Huo Hangku's shoulders, slowly descending amidst the ruins.
Huo Hangku's face was pale, his body drenched in cold sweat. He still hadn't regained his senses, feeling as if he'd just taken a stroll past the King of Hell's gates.
In the silence, Mei Ji said, "The Azure Emperor is even more terrifying than I imagined. Truly worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time."
Huo Hangku asked, "Even when you joined forces with that senior just now, you still couldn't do anything to him?"
Mei Ji looked toward the distant, sinking land and gently shook her head. Seeing this, Huo Hangku's heart grew heavy.
Mei Ji said, "You should go. Be careful. If the Azure Emperor finds you again, I won't be able to save you."
Huo Hangku looked at his wife, sensing her indifference, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
"Mei Ji," he suddenly asked, "you do still love me, don't you?"
