He Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Tan Xiao, your mind works quite fast. The method you suggested is indeed a shortcut, a logical way to secure a cultivation sanctuary filled with pure yang energy."
Then, He Xiaoyao sighed and added, "It’s just that I never intended to do things that way. It’s not that I couldn't think of it, but that I wasn't willing to. While I may appear low-key and soft-spoken on the outside, I still have a shred of backbone. If she has already rejected me, and I were to force a marriage through a martial arts competition just to gain access to the Great Hot Spring, I would look down on myself."
"Brother Dahai, you don't need to worry. When have I ever left you behind? Even if we go to the hot spring, I will share half the time with you. Have you forgotten our last trip to the Little Hot Spring? Besides, I already have a method in mind, though I haven't tried it yet. Don't be in such a rush; we’ll take it slow."
