Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2261  What Cost?

Ryu's smile was light, his eyes gentle. It didn't really matter how Yaana's face was obstructed or how he couldn't see her usual soft cheeks and delicate button nose.

He knew his woman when he saw her. Just like he had realized that she and the Phoenix Sky God must be one and the same during the Title Stele event. This was precisely what he had figured out. It was just that he wasn't sure if he was correct.

Time was a finicky thing, but the one truth that had seemed to always remain steadfast was that while it was possible to travel forward, going back was impossible.

This was the understanding Ryu had always had, and it was also this understanding that had made him question the Zu Clan Ancestor's existence. It didn't make any sense to him.

But those details, they didn't mean much to him right now.

Yaana looked up at Ryu, hints of helplessness in her eyes. She had hoped that it wouldn't end like this, but it always did, didn't it? Why was he so smart?

The Ryu she knew would just let his enemy fight. He wouldn't help just for the sake of helping, he didn't care about any of that.

But she knew deep inside that maybe even that was optimistic. Even if he couldn't figure it out, he would want to defeat the Phoenix Sky God personally. Because of that, he would probably be ahead of her to kill off all these people first.
