"Qian Xun, it's now basically certain that Xinli is the future Dark Female. On Ice Soul Star, succession passes through the female line, not the male. If she becomes your Female Master, the entire Ice Soul Planet will be hers to inherit and rule in the future. And—"
Xue Xi recalled a legend she had once heard about the Dark Female, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes. "Have you thought this through?"
Xue Qianxun's gaze was resolute as he smiled. "To me, she is first and foremost Jiang Xinli—her own person. Only after that is she the Dark Female."
"And I only want to stay by her side and protect her. I've never dared to hope for anything more..." His tone suddenly grew more serious. "If it were possible, I would willingly entrust Ice Soul Star to her rule."
Xue Xi pressed, "Is it because of the Ice Soul Heart?"
Xue Qianxun shook his head. "Cousin, you know that's not it."
