"C-Can you repeat that for me?" Selena muttered with a dazed look on her face, unable to believe what she'd just heard.
"I said the Demon God has ended your punishment, so you can leave Death Paradise," Yuan repeated.
"Why would he do that? Did you…?" Selena's eyes trembled as they stared at him.
Yuan nodded, "I just tried asking him, and it somehow worked out."
"Th-thank you! Truly!" Selena subconsciously bowed her head to him, something she hadn't done since becoming a Transcendent.
"There's no need to thank me. I didn't really do anything."
Yuan turned to look at the crimson cocoon nearby and approached it.
"Dena…" Yuan had considered asking Deemo to assist Dena with her ascension, but ultimately decided against it, feeling that doing so would wound her pride.
"Knowing her, she'd rather die trying than succeed with help. If I asked Deemo to assist her, she'd probably hate me for life, even if it was for her own good," Yuan sighed softly.
