Ye Fan lit a cigarette and took a moment to calm himself.
Seeing Ye Fan's emotional turmoil, Su Qingxue's heart ached. She knew that behind this man's usually carefree and joking demeanor hid an unspeakable sorrow.
So, she said to him, "Ye Fan, I can help you, you know."
But Ye Fan shook his head. "Qingxue, you are very strong, but you cannot wield the full power of the Flame Witch. You still need to grow. As you are now, even with our help, you cannot defeat the Divine Dragon."
Ye Fan understood Su Qingxue's strength, and he knew a direct confrontation with the Divine Dragon would end in a gruesome death.
At that moment, the Ice Phoenix Saintess wiped away her tears and said to Ye Fan, "I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so impulsive."
Ye Fan replied, "I understand how you feel, but dealing with the Divine Dragon requires careful planning."
