"The Essence Blood the Princess gave you..." Si Yun froze, as if she had just remembered something. She blushed, realizing she had been too quick to misunderstand.
'I'm clearly here to save her, yet I keep getting misunderstood.' Lin Xuan could understand her perspective. The animosity between humans and the Demon Race ran too deep, especially when it came to Divine Beasts. They were often flayed, their sinews ripped out for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. 'How could they not hate us?'
"Please, lady, give me a break! Look, the Steward is about to catch up! We should be figuring out how to escape, not standing around talking nonsense!" While still in flight, Lin Xuan quickly retrieved the Phoenix Statue from his Storage Ring. In mid-air, a gigantic Phoenix instantly took form.
Lin Xuan sat down on it, still holding her, and piloted the Phoenix forward at top speed. It was so fast that it just barely managed to keep pace with the Steward!
