Ao Qing wore a smile on his face, munching on a Spirit Fruit just like Yu Ziqing, deliberately making loud chewing noises.
"Have you ever thought, if I could take you out, what would you want to become?"
"As long as it's not a Dragon Clan member, anything is fine. A worm, a starfish in the sea, a bird in the sky, anything will do."
"No, no, no, I know you don't want to be part of the Dragon Clan anymore. I'm letting you choose what you like, have any thoughts?" Yu Ziqing couldn't help but reach out, placing a hand on Ao Qing's head, asking him with a serious expression.
"Uh..." Ao Qing gazed blankly at Yu Ziqing, unsure of how to respond at the moment.
He simply didn't want to be part of the Dragon Clan anymore but had never thought of anything else.
"Take your time, no rush, or if you can't think of anything right now, it's okay. You can ponder slowly later. Living creatures always need a bit of hope, a bit of a dream. Whether it comes true or not often doesn't matter."
