A sly glimmer flashed through Bai Yiyi's eyes as she softly murmured to Gu Sheng.
"Yes, it will be your supreme honor."
"And also, the Demon Emperor's descendant is truly a peerless beauty. Many crave her favor."
"It's a rare chance to ascend instantly, Young Master Gu must not refuse."
The surrounding women echoed her words, their eyes brimming with envy.
Their voices, like clear mountain streams, were melodious and delicate, yet carried an almost imperceptible trace of jealousy.
Gu Sheng's heart, although uneasy, knew there was no turning back now that things had come to this point.
"Hah…"
He took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and nodded slightly. "If so, then lead the way."
Surrounded by Bai Yiyi and the other women, Gu Sheng made his way through the vast peach blossom forest.
The air was filled with the scent of flowers, petals fluttering down like snow, as though leading to another realm beyond earthly bounds.
