Hearing this, a complex look flashed in Hu Yan's light blue eyes. "Do you know what this means? This is your galaxy. You could even start your own country here."
Bai Zhi nodded. "I'm just letting them use it, not giving it to them."
She tilted her head up slightly to look at him. "Besides, you'll protect me, won't you?"
As she spoke, the sun began to rise, its brilliant crimson light spilling over the land and bathing Bai Zhi in its glow.
Her face, bathed in the light of the rising sun, took on a soft hue. Her gaze was clear, and her eyes, as they met Hu Yan's, were exceptionally pure.
Hu Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, a warmth spreading through his chest. His gaze softened even more. "Yes. I will protect you. Always."
Bai Zhi smiled at him before adding, "Actually, my initial idea for this galaxy was that you could use it to lure enemies into battle."
