Hearing her words, Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head: "No, if that were true, then that person would deserve to die."
"You trust me that much?" the woman asked, looking at Qin Chuan.
"I trust myself."
Qin Chuan believed in himself; a woman like her wouldn't do anything immoral or against the natural order. Qin Chuan had that confidence.
The two of them left directly above the restaurant. In mid-air, the woman summoned her tamed beast, leaving Qin Chuan utterly astonished.
A phoenix!
This wasn't a demonic beast with phoenix blood, but a real phoenix, its enormous body reaching a thousand meters in length. Most shockingly, it possessed an imposing aura.
This was a real phoenix, the first time Qin Chuan had ever seen one. He had seen true dragons, though their bloodline was slightly lower, but they were still pure-blooded true dragons.
But this was the first time he had seen a pure-blooded phoenix, the king of all birds, a legendary being as powerful as a dragon.
Legend has it that there are divine dragons and divine phoenixes, true dragons and phoenixes, and even four divine beasts: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. The Vermilion Bird is also rumored to be the fire phoenix.
This woman was from the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan. The phoenix she possessed was likely a family heirloom, even a symbol of the clan. It was said that only members of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan could command the phoenix's protection and assistance.
"Come on up!" the woman beckoned to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan hesitated slightly, then landed beside her. A faint fragrance wafted from her, very faint yet distinct and incredibly pleasant.
This unique fragrance, in Qin Chuan's opinion, was the most delightful, completely different from the aroma of delicious food. The aroma of food stimulated the appetite, providing
a direct physical pleasure.
This fragrance, however, directly stimulated the spiritual level, creating a special feeling in one's state of mind and spirit.
This feeling was complex; some experienced enjoyment, some were awe, and some even a resonance with the soul. Qin Chuan felt something particularly special at this moment.
There was a tremendous attraction between Qin Chuan and this woman. Qin Chuan possessed the Nine Divine Dragon Ranks, practically making him a Divine Dragon physique and soul.
The woman, on the other hand, possessed the Heavenly Water Divine Physique, essentially a Divine Phoenix Physique. This physique and the Divine Dragon Physique were a perfect match.
So, the two could be considered a match made in heaven. Qin Chuan stood beside her, suppressing an indescribable feeling.
This woman's strength was so powerful that he couldn't even fathom it, and not only that, her phoenix was exceptionally powerful.
"Qin Chuan, the place I'm going to today is someone who pushed my family into the abyss. He's the head steward of my Divine Phoenix Clan, but he colluded with outsiders to put my family to death," the woman said softly.
She hadn't regained her memories, but she had found out a lot of information, so now she was going to see this former head steward of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan and find out why he had done such a thing.
Qin Chuan nodded: "Okay!"
"Don't you have anything to say?" the woman asked.
"No, whatever you do, I'll help you," Qin Chuan said.
He didn't know why, he was fine before seeing her, but now that he saw her, he didn't know why, he just wanted to help her.
It's said that everything needs a reason, and Qin Chuan knew there was a reason. Perhaps it was his affection for her, and that was the reason.
"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?" the woman looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?"
"Do you like me?" the woman turned her head and looked into the distance, speaking softly.
Qin Chuan never expected her to ask such a question, because in his view, a woman like her would never discuss romantic relationships.
Just like Chu Shiqingzhu.
Chu Shiqingzhu was different from her; this woman not only maintained a distance, but also exuded a kind of oppressive aura.
"My rational mind tells me not to get close to you, and not to like you. I don't even know if I like you. You're like a stranger to me, yet somehow familiar," Qin Chuan said after thinking for a moment.
