Liang Hao was extremely excited. Today, in this canyon, he not only found the Xuanling Fruit and the spiritual spring, but also the materials for forging the imperial weapon that Shen Zhao had mentioned. He felt as if he had been given the protagonist's script, and his face was full of disbelief.
In contrast, Su Yunying was much calmer: "Yes, we should cherish this good fortune. By the way, where is the old man?"
"The boss seems to have something on his mind. He's resting under the Xuanling Fruit tree and asked me to come over first."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying immediately filled several large jugs with the spiritual spring water and then said, "Then I'll go take a look. You go ahead and do your work, brother."
"Yes, little sister, just go ahead and don't worry. I'll fill a few more jugs and then go meet up with you and big brother."
Without saying much, Su Yunying went directly to the Xuanling Fruit Tree to find Chen.
Near the Xuanling Fruit Tree, Shen Zhao stood tall and proud, gazing at the sea of clouds rising from the cliff edge, lost in thought.
"Boss, Big Brother said you have something on your mind. Can you tell me about it?"
Su Yunying walked with light steps to Shen Zhao's side.
Sigh~
Shen Zhao sighed softly, and when he faced Su Yunying again, he was filled with mixed feelings.
"What's wrong, boss?"
This was the first time Su Yunying had seen Shen Zhao in this state, and she found it difficult to adapt.
Shen Zhao shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "I'm fine. I just thought of some past events and felt a little sentimental."
"Then forget about it." Su Yunying smiled and handed the spiritual spring to Shen Zhao. "Boss, look what I found. This spring water contains rich spiritual essence. If you drink it, it will definitely greatly increase your cultivation level."
Shen Zhao turned around and stared blankly at Su Yunying's exquisite and beautiful face, remaining silent for a long time.
Su Yunying felt a little uncomfortable under Shen Zhao's gaze, thinking she had said something wrong, and immediately added, "Of course, if Boss doesn't like drinking plain water,..."
That would be good for brewing wine. We'll go check out the nearby towns later... Boss, what's wrong with you? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
Shen Zhao frowned slightly before slowly saying, "I was thinking about where would be a suitable place to build your Empress Palace."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Boss, I was just joking with you. I was just saying the Empress thing offhand. I know I don't have that kind of fate at all."
"How about Tianhai Yuanhuang Island?"
Su Yunying stopped abruptly, looking at Shen Zhao with some disbelief.
"Not satisfied? Then let's reach the Supreme Peak of the Dao Domain?"
"No, it's me."
"Still the Seven-Colored Saint King Cliff?"
"Or Liuyun Rock?"
Su Yunying panicked a little. All the places Shen Zhao mentioned were blessed lands, rich in spiritual energy, and blessed with extraordinary opportunities.
She never dared to dream that she could covet such ethereal sacred places.
Seeing that Su Yunying hadn't reacted yet, Shen Zhao chuckled and said, "Forget it, let's not go through all that trouble."
"Why not just build an empress's palace in every place? You can live wherever you want, as long as you're happy."
"Boss, what's wrong? Don't scare me, you're making me a little scared..."
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly clear-headed. Since I've decided to put you on the throne as Empress, I will do my best to make it happen. You deserve the best in the world."
Shen Zhao said, word by word, "I will make you the pinnacle of the Nine Realms, a figure revered by all, and the entire continent will be a legend in your name."
But please give me some time, and I will do my best to help you realize this long-cherished wish as soon as possible!
Hearing these words, Su Yunying was deeply shocked and at a loss for words.
Although Shen Zhao had indeed treated her well since they got to know each other, he had never made any promises to her so openly.
This, however, made her panic.
"Boss, I... I don't care about any of that, I..."
"Don't overthink it. You deserve everything. Believe in yourself, and please believe in me too!"
Shen Zhao stepped aside to stand beside Su Yunying, his eyes filled with tenderness as he said, word by word, "From today onwards, I, Shen Zhao, will fully protect you on your path to becoming an emperor."
Even if gods and demons stand in my way, I will use my blood and flesh to flatten them, paving a smooth road for you!
In an instant, Su Yunying felt a surge of emotion.
She suddenly covered her mouth, but tears kept streaming down her cheeks.
"Boss, I really don't need you to do those things for me, and I don't want to see you risk your life for me."
As long as... as long as I can stay by your side and spend more time with you, and you don't hate me... I'll be content... really..."
Shen Zhao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled faintly: "Don't think about anything, just do what you want to do, I will be your strongest support."
Su Yunying bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly white teeth and nodded silently.
A warm feeling washed over her, an experience she had never had before.
"Alright, stop standing there like idiots and let's find a place to stay. We're going to be in this canyon for a few days."
"Oh? You live here?"
"The Xuanling Fruit isn't ripe yet. Also, I'm going to upgrade your Lone Goose and forge an Emperor-grade spirit sword while I'm at it. You're sure to win first place in this Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition!"
"Okay, whatever you say, boss. I'll go find a place nearby where we can camp out!"
A blush rose to Su Yunying's pretty face. Recalling Shen Zhao's promise to her just now, she felt very sweet and warm in her heart.
Watching Su Yunying's departing figure, Shen Zhao clenched his fists, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
"In this life, I swear, you will never suffer any harm again."
No matter who it is, if they dare to lay a finger on you.
Shen Zhao's fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged, and his eyes were unusually sharp and determined.
"I will ensure their utter destruction!"
