Xie Xuanyi wrote this "lenient" soul oath because
he did not want Ao Ying's path to ascension to be cut short.
This Dragon Girl had received two great fortunes; if she could safely return to the Demon Country, ascending to the Demon Venerable was a certainty. Given time, even reaching the status of Great Venerate was not impossible.
"Becoming a Great Venerate..."
Ao Ying took a deep breath.
She shook her head, dismissing these distant concerns. Her immediate priority was to escape from the Great Yue Kingdom.
"The Ruyi Dao is about to seal off the entire ancient country; what are you planning to do next?"
Ao Ying looked at Xie Xuanyi. Having made the soul oath, she felt much more at ease for some reason, perhaps because she knew Xie Xuanyi wouldn't turn on her right now. Her tone was considerably more relaxed when she spoke.
"Have you ever heard the name Yan Xie?"
The Flying Sword swiftly ascended.
Xie Xuanyi carried Ao Ying, climbing to the apex of the sky.
