"Brother, my brother said that as long as my cultivation breaks through to the Half-Saint realm, I can leave this place by following the route recorded in this book..."

"But I... I've never even begun my cultivation journey. All I can do is be a sickly baby, dragging my brother down..."

"And before, no, I didn't tell Young Master Su Bai because I... no, I didn't want Young Master Su Bai to leave..."

"I'm so sorry... Young Master Su Bai, I shouldn't have been so selfish..."

After saying that, Chu Yaoyao lowered her head and handed the book to Su Bai.

But to her surprise, Su Bai did not reach out to take it.

"Su, Su...Young Master Su Bai?"

Chu Yaoyao looked up, somewhat puzzled.

What came into her view was a cool, aloof, yet somewhat complex young face.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, this face glowed with a warm, white light, pure and flawless, like... a newly born piece of jade.

This otherworldly scene momentarily stunned Chu Yaoyao.

Her gaze was unconsciously fixed on that angular, fair face.

Until Su Bai's calm voice rang in her ears.

Do you want to leave here?

"Leave, leave this place..."

Chu Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and fell into deep silence.

She naturally wanted to leave this place.

Although... the barrier her brother set up for her was millions of miles long, she might not be able to traverse it even if she spent her entire life on it.

But no matter how vast this place is, for her, isn't it just another kind of prison?

As human beings, no one wants to live in a cage for their entire life.

What's more, she has been here alone for hundreds or even thousands of years.

She also yearns for the outside world, and wants to meet more people, go to more places, and taste more delicious food.

But she only dared to think these things in her heart and dared not express them.

Because she knew that she was a sickly person and could not cultivate. If she went out, she would only become a burden to her brother, not only unable to help him, but also his weakness.

She didn't want to experience that helpless pain again.

"Do you want to leave?" Su Bai asked again.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao raised her head and, for the first time, looked at the person in front of her with an eye-to-eye gaze.

A mist rose in her eyes, but a smile graced her face.

“Thank you, Young Master Xie Subai, but I’ve gotten used to staying here, and I don’t want to… go out.”

She spoke calmly, her tone generous and gentle, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

And this... was also the first time she had spoken a single sentence calmly and continuously in front of Su Bai.

It was also... the first time I looked at him openly and smiled in front of him.

What I mean is, you can cultivate yourself.

Su Bai knew from the beginning that the woman's inability to cultivate must be due to some other reason, rather than a lack of innate talent.

After all, there are very few people in the entire universe who, with a mortal body, can withstand the medicinal power that brought him back to life, just like Chu Yaoyao.

This also indirectly shows that Chu Yaoyao's aptitude and potential are exceptional.

Furthermore, Su Bai had just inquired with the system, and the system's response was that someone had forcibly sealed her innate talent using supreme techniques.

To break this seal, one million attribute points are needed.

"What!"

"I...I...can...cultivate?"
