The young woman's heart ached at his words. Her delicate brows furrowed as she asked, "Don't you have any dreams of your own?"
"Dreams?" He grew somber at her question, lost in thought.
"Living a better life. Not having to worry about where my next meal or drink comes from. Not having to worry about suddenly dropping dead one day. That's enough for me."
A captivating light flashed in the young woman's eyes. "Don't you want to command the entire Immortal Realm, cross the universe, strike awe into myriad worlds, and explore the infinite, unknown mysteries?"
His lips parted, but before he could speak, she grabbed his hand and began running into the distance.
"I'm taking you to my clan's Forbidden Land! You're going to observe the Heaven and Earth Origin Stele so you can find a path of your own!"
...
After that, everything seemed to progress as expected.
