"Compared to the distant future, I actually care more about the present," Mia fell silent, her determined eyes revealing vulnerability and helplessness.
Ethan patted her head, suddenly laughed, and said, "Don't worry, Mia, I won't let you leave me."
"I have a method that will let us stay together forever, but it might cause you a lot of pain, even forcing you to abandon your human identity... Are you willing?"
"I'm willing." Mia nodded, her eyes looking firmly at Ethan.
"No matter what I have to go through, as long as I can stay by your side, I am willing."
"Good."
Ethan took Mia's hand, and the method he mentioned was simple, it was the Blood Ritual that bestowed the dragon's Bloodline.
Taking Mia with him, they both returned to the Dungeon.
While Mia prepared for the ritual by settling her body and mind into an optimal state, Ethan began to get ready for the Blood Ritual.
