The Snow Dragon's words made Xu Shan turn to the Celestial Lotus right away. The Celestial Lotus had finally matured after the long wait.
Xu Shan stood up, not intending to delay it anymore. After a long time, the Celestial Lotus was finally within his reach, and ready to be taken. With that, he was one step closer to awakening his second Celestial Spirit, after which he wanted to return to the Celestial Realm.
Aria watched the man she hated the most getting closer to the Celestial Lotus. Her fists tightened. She wanted to stop him. She was fine with anyone else taking the Celestial Lotus but not Xu Shan.
There was only one way to stop him and that was to delay him until the people from the Divine Realm arrived. She knew that Xu Shan didn't know her at this point in time, so she could step forward with an excuse to delay him.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't gather courage to step forward. There was an inherent fear deep inside her heart.
