Chu Xiuhuan looked at her with an enigmatic smile on his lips.
"I knew it, my Tao'er is the best to me."
With some embarrassment, Meng Tao lowered her head.
"Don't call me that, it feels weird."
"What feels weird?"
Blushing, Meng Tao looked at him.
"It feels... it just makes people feel like you might like me. I know you only see me as a sister, and I see you as a brother. We're more than family, closer than family!"
"I don't want to treat you as family... Tao'er, why not stay in the Human World with me and be a simple couple? Didn't you say you love the Human World the most? We can stay here, wander the mountains and rivers, enjoy an ageless life, and taste all the world's delicacies. Isn't that nice?"
Meng Tao lowered her head, eyes showing some hesitation.
"But... but my master is still waiting for me. He's been very good to me, and I can't let him down."
Chu Xiuhuan remained as gentle as ever.
