"I...I..." Purple hesitated, struggling to ask Yuan to carry her. After all, she had rejected his offer earlier, and now the thought of asking for his help felt somewhat embarrassing.
"Are you tired?" Yuan asked with a smile on his face, and he continued, "I don’t mind carrying you, but you’ll need to ask nicely, considering how rude you were before."
"Wha—! I wasn’t being rude! I was merely being realistic!" she exclaimed, defending herself. "Who in their right mind would trust a first-level False God to use Void Manipulation properly?! Not a single True God out there! Especially when we’re enemies!"
"You see me as an enemy?" Yuan remarked with a chuckle. "Unfortunately, you don’t qualify."
"I don’t qualify? Big talk for some who is just livestock!"
"Livestock?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Yuan had been so focused on his training that he completely forgot about Supreme Ruler Dena, who had been feasting on his blood this whole time.
"You’re still drinking my blood? Aren’t you satisfied by now?" Yuan asked her, who was still sucking away without a care in the world.
Supreme Ruler Dena removed her lips from his neck and licked it clean before replying, "The more I drink your blood, the tastier it tastes. It is like I am having a different meal with each mouthful, and I cannot get enough of it!"
"But is it helping with your recovery?" he asked.
"Yes. If I continue drinking your blood, I should recover at least 70 percent of my strength by the time we arrive at the City of Blood."
Purple raised an eyebrow after overhearing their conversation and thought to herself, ’She’s injured...?’
That’s when Purple realized she had made a grave mistake. Had she not attempted to stall them, Supreme Ruler Dena would have arrived at the City of Blood in a weakened state, making her far easier to deal with.
Unfortunately, it was a misstep she could no longer correct without raising suspicion. If she suddenly urged them to use a teleportation formation to hasten their arrival, it would only make her intentions all the more questionable.
Purple felt like kicking herself in the butt over her mistake, unaware that Yuan was already expecting an ambush in the City of Blood.
"In that case, drink as much as you want." Yuan said to her before looking at Purple again and resuming their conversation in a nonchalant manner, "So, do you want me to carry you or not?"
Purple gritted her teeth and silently nodded her head.
Yuan tilted his head slightly, turning his ear toward her as he cupped a hand behind it. "What was that? I didn’t quite catch it."
Purple clenched her fists in frustration before speaking loudly, "Can you take me with you?! Please!"
Without another word, Yuan activated Void Manipulation and resumed his training with an additional training load.
Although a single additional individual may not seem like a lot, Yuan could instantly feel a difference, and he was no longer able to traverse as much distance as before.
However, it also sped up his progress, so he didn’t complain and even welcomed it.
’At the rate he’s improving and our pace, we will arrive at the City of Blood in less than five hundred years!’ Purple thought to herself.
A few years later—
