Lu Siyao’s expression froze upon hearing this.
To the God Realm?
If this were in the past, she wouldn't even dare to imagine it. Such things simply didn't exist in her life.
She had heard of the God Realm, knowing it was a place of higher existence.
Moreover, it was something she'd only encountered in ancient texts. With her current strength and status, she had no way of accessing topics related to the God Realm.
It would be strange indeed if Xia Feng were to tell her about the God Realm now and she wasn't surprised.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Siyao, her eyes filled with disbelief, asked, "Brother Xia, I can go to the God Realm?"
Lu Siyao tilted her head, her voice laced with curiosity.
"Mm," Xia Feng replied with a smile and a nod.
"This... I... I don't want to go," Lu Siyao said hesitantly after a long pause.
"Why?" Xia Feng was taken aback.
This answer was completely unexpected for Xia Feng.
He hadn't anticipated Lu Siyao would refuse him, refuse to go to the God Realm. This was something he never could have imagined.
Lu Siyao mumbled vaguely, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "The God Realm is far superior to the Immortal Realm. My strength is too weak. I don't want to become a burden to you, Brother Xia."
Lu Siyao hadn't considered any other reasons. She simply didn't want to be a burden or drag him down because her strength was too low.
After all, going to the God Realm meant starting everything from scratch.
Compared to the Immortal Realm, everyone up there was an invincible master.
In such a situation, Lu Siyao couldn't just follow Xia Feng blindly because she liked him. She needed to genuinely consider his well-being wholeheartedly.
A woman should be like that.
Behind every successful man stands a sensible woman.
Emperess Ma behind Emperor Hongwu, Empress Xu behind Emperor Chengzu.
Although both father and son were henpecked, it was out of respect. And these two women constantly considered their husbands' interests.
A selfish woman not only fails in her own life but also drags her husband's family down and can even affect the next generation.
Therefore, when looking for someone to marry, one shouldn't just look at appearance. The most important thing is character, which is the standard for happiness.
After all, in this society, with its declining social morals, the extravagance of life has caused many to lose their true nature.
Xia Feng smiled upon hearing this and instantly understood why Lu Siyao had said that.
She was merely afraid of becoming his burden. Although she refused his proposal, her words revealed she was considerate of him.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you speaking? I know what you're worried about, but your worries are completely unfounded. The God Realm is like going home to me. Not only you, but your master, Wuji Zi, will also go. Many others will go as well, so your worries are simply non-existent."
Xia Feng explained with a smile, as it was necessary to clarify these matters to put Lu Siyao's mind at ease.
"Really?" Lu Siyao's eyes lit up, her tone filled with surprise.
It was evident that she wanted to go with Xia Feng, but she had initially refused out of consideration for him.
Now that Xia Feng had explained, she understood the situation better, hence her surprised expression and the revelation of her true feelings.
"Of course, it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Xia Feng confirmed with a nod, asking Lu Siyao the question in return.
"Mhm, Brother Xia never lies to me. Then I'll go to the God Realm with Brother Xia, hehe..." Lu Siyao smiled, her face blooming like a flower.
"Let's go, we need to find your master," Xia Feng said, leading the way. Lu Siyao followed closely behind.
After Xia Feng found Wuji Zi, the latter had a similar reaction to Lu Siyao upon hearing that Xia Feng intended to take him to the God Realm.
His main concern was that as an old man, he feared becoming a burden to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng explained the situation again, and only then did Wuji Zi, with a beaming smile, agree.
He was at the late stage of Divine Venerable. Forget breaking through to True God in the God Realm; if he could even reach Immortal Emperor, he would be content.
Mu Liangchen listened from the side, his heart filled with longing. He felt this was an excellent opportunity, and missing it would be a lifelong regret.
He then put down the teapot, knelt beside Xia Feng, and respectfully called out, "Greetings, Immortal Emperor. I wish to accompany the ancestor."
Mu Liangchen knew how to speak. This was a perfect excuse.
After all, he felt too embarrassed to admit that he also wanted to see the world.
He didn't have that kind of relationship yet.
However, for Xia Feng, having one more person or one less made no difference, so he nodded and said, "Alright, it's good for you to go and take care of things. Then you shall accompany us."
"Yes." Mu Liangchen's face lit up with joy, and he quickly kowtowed.
Wuji Zi smiled, remaining silent.
The next day, Xia Feng led the main personnel of Void City, along with Wuji Zi and Mu Liangchen from the Pill Sect, Lu Siyao, and the waiting Immortal Emperors Can Ye, Tian Lu, Wu Mie, and Yao Shuyu from Immortal Emperor Island, all heading towards the God Realm.
