Xu Yuan found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating, "It's okay. That restriction only applies to our clan. For a Dao Companion like you, it doesn't matter."
"What's a Dao Companion?"
She blinked.
"You can think of it as something like a wife."
"Oh,"
Xue Lin seemed to understand but not quite, nodding her head. She looked at the round Spirit Pill in the palm of her hand and asked uncertainly, "You're not lying to me?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Xu Yuan said helplessly.
"I thought that prestigious clans like yours usually have rules that only allow marriage within the same clan... That's why I thought that..."
Xue Lin said with a blush.
"Do you think I'm that kind of irresponsible demon? That I only played with you and then let you swallow it?"
"Yes."
She actually nodded vigorously.
Xu Yuan rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
"That's good."
Only then did Xue Lin swallow the pure demonic power inner core.
