Chapter 137: Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, walking alone

"Thank you."

"I... am leaving," the girl said, with reluctance but even more determination.

"You never asked me anything and always tolerated me."

"Strange guy."

"I am an ominous person, I..."

"Just pretend that I am also going to walk my own path," the girl said softly.

"I am going to train on my own."

"Don't look for me, if you want me to become stronger."

"You also have your own path."

"If I don't die in the future, I... hehe..." the girl smiled, and the image she left behind slowly dissipated.

"Big Nannan," Jiang Nan sighed lightly.

He knew the girl didn't want to drag him down; she had her own goals.

She wanted to challenge the Feathered Divine Dynasty, that ancient Heavenly Court legacy.

Who could have known that this little girl in a corner of the Southern Ridge wilderness had such heaven-defying ambition?

If he said it now, no one would believe it—the gap between an ant and a dragon.

The Feathered Divine Dynasty had harmed her closest kin.

This path was one of nine deaths and one life.

She didn't want to implicate anyone.

Those who had helped her hadn't ended well.

Even this time, she believed that everything was because of her.

Jiang Nan had destroyed the Divine Void Cave Heaven, the Wanyue Kingdom, the Earth Fiend Sect... the enemies were increasing.

From a rebel of the Divine Void Cave Heaven to the demon of Wanyue Kingdom, the demon of Ningzhou, and now the demon of the Southern Ridge.

If this continued, he would become the great demon of the world.

If not for her, Jiang Nan might never have had any interaction with Elder Ying.

Even if he had, he was stronger and could have directly killed the old woman, avoiding all the subsequent trouble.

It was all because of her.

She couldn't stay together anymore.

Staying together now, although she could help fight some battles, Jiang Nan was becoming more powerful, and the opponents were becoming stronger.

What she devoured and accumulated wasn't her own strength; she couldn't keep up.

She couldn't help; she was just a burden, only taking.

She didn't want that—he was the only person in this world who made her feel warm.

She wouldn't allow anyone to destroy this beauty and warmth again.

She left alone.

She also had to walk her own path.

Under protection, without wind and rain, it was forever difficult to grow.

She had no aptitude; as a waste body, she couldn't cultivate, so she had to experience more wind and rain and put in more effort.

She wasn't afraid.

She was only afraid of losing the warmth again.

Her brother was once a Saint Body, the number one battle body of the human race, captured by the Feathered Divine Dynasty and melted into a cauldron with his flesh and blood.

Jiang Nan's divine body was also very powerful, and she was even more afraid.

She was afraid that because of her, an ominous girl, the scene would repeat itself.

She would collapse.

No matter how strong she was, she couldn't imagine how to face it a second time.

No matter what, she had to leave.

In this world, those high-and-mighty existences were ruthless and cold; everything depended on strength.

She had to become stronger.

That way, even if he was in danger, she could help and stand by his side. No one could hurt the person she cared about again.

Instead of having no strength and only being able to stand behind him.

If he fell, she would only be powerless and cry.

She wouldn't cry anymore.

She had to walk her own path of the strong.

Therefore, she had to walk alone.

She would endure the wind and rain; she would carry the life and death.

She had grown up and could take responsibility.

"Big Nannan... hmph." Remembering something, the girl's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she smiled lightly.

This was the guy who never grew up.

"I hope you are well; don't worry about me." The girl took one last look behind her and strode away with determination.

"Alright," Jiang Nan said. "Big Nannan, take care."

Although he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed the path of the Empress.

Following him, she lacked tempering and growth. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
