"Astaria…
Hear me out…"
Nux called out with a nervous smile on his face.
"…"
Astaria didn't say anything and just glanced at Nux. Nux took this as his cue and started,
"You are a hurdle in my way."
Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"As a warrior, I wish to overpower you, defeat you, and leave you behind. Just like I have done it before, starting from a mortal to Beginner Stage Cultivators, then Advance, Masters, Grand Masters, Experts, Kings, and then the Emperors, I have defeated them all.
And I do not wish to stop here.
The main continent.
Yrniel.
I wish to do the same there as well.
However, you are different from other 'hurdles' I have encountered or will encounter in the future.
You are someone I wish to obtain. I want to carry you with me when I encounter future hurdles.
You are someone precious to me, you are someone I cannot leave behind.
Look, I am not some great warrior like you who has an unextinguishable flame inside her, wishing to reach the peak.
