Ryu looked toward Mae. She already knew the answer to the question before she asked it. Usually, he would probably make her know as such, but he didn't mind giving her a bit of leeway given the circumstances. He didn't have much patience for people usually, but when it came to people he considered his own, he could give them more rope. When it came to people he loved, he would give them as much rope as they wanted. 

pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ While Mae didn't fall into that latter category, at the very least, he wouldn't lose his cool over such a simple question. Instead, he simply nodded faintly. 

Mae sighed and shook her head. With a flip of her palm, a new set of clothing appeared as her tail and wings slowly retreated into her body. 

As things went, this wasn't the worst case scenario. In all honesty, it was probably worse for Ryu than it was for her. But that wasn't something Ryu knew yet, or maybe he wouldn't be so casual about it all. 

"I don't think you know what that means," Mae said lightly. 

"Does it matter?" Ryu replied, his tone casual. He was smart enough to know that Mae was seemingly implying something, but he didn't know the meaning of the word regret. Since he had acted as he pleased, he would of course deal with what came with it. This was what it meant to be a true powerhouse. 

Mae's gaze flashed, a slight heat circulating through her. She liked that overbearing look in Ryu's eyes almost a bit too much. He really didn't care at all what came with it. 

"You're willing to take responsibility?" Mae asked, a hint of confusion and maybe even a bit of speculation in her tone. 

Now that she had revealed her lineage as a Dream Asura, Ryu, even if he wasn't aware of exactly what it meant to take her Primordial Yin, he should understand that there were certain cultural issues what would come from this. 

Although Ryu had that mysterious bloodline, it was clear that he was human. As a human, he should know of the strained dynamics between the human race and the Asura race. 

The Fifth Heaven was the first Heaven where non-human races and non-beast races began to truly make their presences felt. As one of the first Heavens where this occurred, it was a somewhat new dynamic that made relations very difficult. This strain was only made worse by the True Heavenly Path, the path separating the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh. 

The true pinnacle of the Martial World were the top three Heavens. The competition for entry was stiff and every vied for position. It could be said that the Fifth and Sixth Heaven were perpetual warzones. Comparatively speaking, the Fourth Heaven was a bit better, though still very strained in its relations as well. 

In a situation like this, like races tended to band together, painting other races as the scum of the earth. Although inter-relations between the races wasn't unheard of, those relationships tended to be very casual, even to the point that the races had come up with methods to protect their Primordial Yins. 

The women of the Dream Asura race were highly sought after and often the subject of desire for countless races of men, so it wasn't rare for them to mingle with other races like this. But even so, something like what happened between herself and Ryu was very rare and often led down the road of tragedy. 

Things would be fine for her ultimately because the loss of her Primordial Yin wasn't the end all be all, but there was still the matter of how the young men of her race would react to this change, how her family would react, and how the human cultivators Ryu interacted with following this would react to it. So when she asked such a thing, the weight behind the words weren't small. 

"I always take responsibility for the things I do," Ryu replied indifferently.  please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Mae stared at Ryu for a long time. 

There were many men with false fronts of confidence, many men who were willing to act on impulse in a moment without thinking, only to try to run from it after the fact. Those couldn't be said to be men with confidence. If you acted without knowing the consequences, it couldn't' be considered confidence or bravery, it was ignorance and stupidity. 

However, if you acted not caring what the consequences might be, whatever they might be, then you were beyond confident and brave, you were arrogant to the point you turned your nose up at the world. 

Ryu wasn't a fool, just judging by Mae's tone and the context clues surrounding her actions, he understood what her worries must be. If anything, she was asking solely for his benefit because she didn't seem to be worried about herself at all. 

Mae's lips parted, but in the end she closed them. She could tell that nothing she said would change Ryu's mind. It seemed that she had accidentally stumbled into finding a good partner. 

"Let's go," Ryu said, turning to leave. 

Mae's brows shot up. This man was really casual about such thing, huh? He already took charge as though it was only natural that she follow him, but even so, she didn't feel much resistance to it at all. 

"You… You took the three jades?"

Mae caught up to Ryu, subconsciously wrapping her arm around his. It just felt like a natural action to take. 

"Yes," Ryu replied. 

"How?" Mae asked. She couldn't even see through these formations and she didn't believe any who wasn't well into the Sky God realm could. 

"My Soul Nature isn't a Space Soul Nature, it's a Spacetime Soul Nature."

Mae's pupils constricted, her heart nearly leaping into her throat. 

"You…"

She was speechless. Not to mention the fact she had never heard of such a Soul Nature, the fact he was just so casual with revealing it left her without words.
