Wu Zhao was still held by you, her head gently resting on your chest. In that moment, she exuded an unusual warmth and tranquility filled her heart; she was content, truly.
From your words, Wu Zhao realized you didn't know she had ended up this way because of saving you. This showed that your action wasn't out of guilt, but because you genuinely cared for her. Given your status, what beauties wouldn't you have? Naturally, you wouldn't fancy someone whose youth had faded.
In fact, Wu Zhao harbored no ambitions; she was just an ordinary woman. Even though her master told her she was destined for the Heavenly Sovereign, and would one day ascend to the Golden Heavenly Court, she was uninterested. She didn't desire supreme power or the ability to look down on all living beings. What she wanted was a man who would cherish and love her.
Yet, at this moment, that man was still touching her sensitive spots with his salty fish hands.
