"Fire Lotus is an incredibly precious entity, and I cannot simply part with it without receiving something in return," Ouyang Mingjing stated solemnly.
He was well aware of what he desired in exchange.
Gu Chaoyan understood his intentions clearly.
She immediately rejected the proposition. "It's impossible. I am the Queen of the Saint Divine Land, Huaijin's wife. Our union is set, and nothing can alter that."
She would rather face death than compromise her position for the sake of the Fire Lotus.
Gu Chaoyan expressed her resolute stance, unwilling to entertain any further discussion on the matter.

In that moment, Ouyang Mingjing felt a wave of sadness and grief engulf him.
